I also have a number of my most used apps in a group so that Continue Reading →

If you find yourself in a place where you need to zoom in when taking a photo, you can simply place your thumb and a finger on your iPhone or iPad screen when in the Camera app. Then, with your thumb and finger still on the screen slowly spread them apart. The subject of the photo will get bigger as you zoom in.

One of my favorite productivity apps is called “2Do”.
