Posted on by — Leave a reply

This post reviews Airmail, a fast email client for Mac OS X that combines a simple design with great features.     I’m someone who uses and likes most of Apple’s native apps on iOS and Mac OS X, but I’ve never been a fan of the stock email apps on either platform. Mail on iOS, while it has been improved in the last few years, just seems to have a lot of extra features that I don’t tend to use. I like the experience of sending emails to be simple and lightweight. The Mail app on Mac OS X Continue Reading →

If you’re like me, then you’re one of those people that is always looking for ways to get things done faster all the while better maximizing your time.

Best web browser alternatives to Safari on iOS

This article recommends the best 3 web browsers that can be used instead of the built-in Safari web browser. Each offers unique features that Safari does not. The Safari browser on the iPhone, iPad (Mini) and iPod Touch offers a great web browsing experience. And, at this point, there is still no way to set another browser as the default browser. However, some of the features on 3rd party web browser apps are superior to what Safari offers. Because of this (and because all 3 of these alternative browsers are free), it is worth trying each of these 3rd party apps Continue Reading →
