The Best Updates to Our Favorite Third-Party IOS Apps
You may not want to update to iOS 11 just yet, but you should update these top-notch iOS apps.
- Siri can now manage Any.do and Todoist (two of our favorite to-do apps ), as well as Evernote .
- Gboard , the Google iOS keyboard for hidden Android fans, has finally got a one-handed typing mode just like the Android version . Of course, iOS 11 works with Apple’s default keyboard.
- The secure messaging app Signal ( read our review ) fixed 16 minor issues and finally added profile pictures.
- Instead of just writing “on the way,” you can send accurate, real-time location status from the powerful Citymapper transportation app directly to the Messages app.
- Finally, you can add text to images in Photoshop Express .
And only on iOS 11:
- You can upload Dropbox files directly from any apps that support the new Files app in iOS 11.
- Our favorite password manager , 1Password 6.9 , lets iPad users drag and drop usernames and passwords right into their respective app. Good.
Typically in iOS 11, many apps add drag and drop support for iPad and support for some files on iPhone.
The iOS app store has actually lost some functionality: the update list no longer includes version numbers, and the “minimal” design makes it hard to read. Also, you can no longer buy mobile apps from the iTunes desktop app. What the hell is Apple?
