WHAT DO YOU use your Apple gear for? Is your tech mainly for productivity, whether for your job or your household? Are you a keen photographer or video editor who likes to edit your creations on your devices? Are you a professional - or even a keen amateur - designer who creates great layouts on your Mac and iPad? Perhaps you like to go traveling or on vacation, and need to keep an eye on the weather? Is it lifestyle apps you're looking for, or maybe you like to use your computer and mobile devices purely for entertainment? Or maybe - and let's be honest, this is the most likely option - you use them for a combination of most or even all these things?

This feature is all about the great software apps you can use on your Mac, iPhone, iPad and/or Apple Watch. Some are for one platform only while others are available on more than one device, but all are among the best of their kind that are available for your Apple gear. Whatever it is you do with your technology, there's bound to be something here that suits your needs but you've never used before, maybe something you've never even heard of. So why not check it out? You never know, it might be just the very thing you need.
