We’re huge fans of Readdle’s Suite of apps, and use them extensively. From the excellent Spark, to the incredibly well featured PDF Expert, all the way to the impossibly priced Documents, Readdle’s apps form a crucial part of the productivity aspects of iOS. And these app are also immensely popular among iOS users. Today’s updates to four of their apps — Scanner Pro, PDF Expert, Spark, and Documents, brings a feature that would make Readdle’s suite of apps absolutely essential for anyone who wishes to do any ‘real work’ on iOS, but most essentially, on the iPad – Drag and…

Let me be frank — increasingly, the phrase, “I’m too old for this” has started entering my mind. Now, I’m no spring chicken, but I’m definitely not on the wrong side of the ‘Woke’ Generation either. I find myself in the uncomfortable ‘in between’ zone, where I’m young enough to get pop culture, yet old enough to feel a vein in my temple throb, every time I read things like ‘ngl’, ‘rn’, and ‘on fleek’. That said, nothing in recent memory has nudged me towards the ‘Old Man Yells At Cloud’ camp harder than Treeo. What is Treeo, you ask?…

Finances for macOS We reviewed Finances for iOS here on Beautiful Pixels, and we mentioned that the Mac version of the app was also in the works (in Public Beta at the time) and that it would debut in the coming weeks. Finances for macOS is now available on the Mac App Store, and it now completes the set. You can manage your finances on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The app retains all the features you’d expect from its iOS counterpart, and remains as polished and slick as ever. If you have the newer MacBook Pros with TouchBar, you…

Task Management apps are tough to review, because they’re the kind of apps where design takes second place to actual functionality. You could have a wonderfully designed app, with smooth graphics, slick animations and a beautiful layout, but if it doesn’t remind you to pick up breakfast cereal on your way home from work (I’m looking at you, Things), it just won’t cut it. Still, apps that blend the best of design and performance are rare enough that they rate being mentioned. Apps like Todoist and OmniFocus are superbly designed and pack tremendous functionality. A little known player in that…

When Preshit first asked me to check Anchor out, I was rather surprised. I had no idea what I would use it for. I’m completely at ease listening to online radio (in fact, I do it a wee bit too often. Groove Salad, FTW), but actually RJ’ing, even if it is for short, two minute bursts? No way! Strangely enough, though, I found myself intrigued. What would I be able to do with this service, I wondered. Would I try it out as my own, personal audition for a podcaster, or would I use it only for consumption? Turns out,…

We written about Bear here on Beautiful Pixels, so we’re sure you’re aware of how much we love this versatile, powerful, and scrumptiously designed note-taking app. ShinyFrog, the developers, have just launched version 1.1 of their pride and joy, and it is a delight to behold. Besides the usual bug fixes, the devs have added several new features, including better tag management, a new theme, more fonts, syntax highlighting (particularly useful for programming), expanded export options (including TaskPaper), better import options (such as from Day One, Taskpaper, etc.), and improved support for new hardware. Two features added in this release…
