“We all have our favourite apps, all mentally tagged in a go-to order”

Apps are an alluring force that keeps our focus honed on our Apple devices for much longer than is probably advisable. We all have our favourites, all mentally tagged in a go-to order from when we first peel our eyes open to when they are gently eased into a Night Shift-aided slumber, but when was the last time you looked beyond the essentials? This issue, we thought it was time to trawl the App Stores for the best apps that you might not be familiar with – entertainment apps, navigational apps and apps to better aid your interests and hobbies. We have collected up 109 of these unsung must-haves on Mac and IOS in one handy showcase that you can read on page 16 now.

Also in this issue, we provide a backing-up masterclass of the easiest and most effective ways of preserving all of your important documents, files and settings on Mac and IOS. Whether you are going down the Time Machine or icloud route, we’ll guide you through every step of the process and recommend some of the best alternative apps and services.
