Was hoping for Journal to come to the iPad - nice improvements on IOS though

[jimtipton]

Thanks Tim! One of the features I haven’t seen get a lot of attention is the reminders/calendar integration. I use both and I’m looking forward to seeing how that works.

Good reviews. I especially like that the password app isn't bare-bones but comes with a health set of features. I like to use password apps to store all sorts of information I don't want to be easily accessed.

The maths upgrade is extremely clever but it would be so much better if it showed the working out ie how the answer was obtained it would be far more educational

I was really hoping that the Journal App would come to iPadOS. I stopped using DayOne when Apple’s Journal App came out, but I do the majority of my typing on the iPad. Big miss there. I would also love to have the iPad as my primary computer when connected to an external display with the iPad screen off. Some sort of clamshell mode. I’m sure that would have done wonders for battery life when docked. Otherwise, Apple Intelligence stole the show here. Keep up the good videos. I enjoy the channel very much.

Still miss Aperture, it was such a great app for macOS!

Well, everything look amazing so far but only one thing I’m concerned is why is equaliser for Apple Music? It’s gone I used to choose my classic rock pulp in Equalizer but I have no more chance do it so I’m slightly disappointed at this.😢

I think that these new features will really make the iPad experience even more useful and enjoyable.

The one enhancement I was hoping for is the ability to reorganize at will the library groupings to better correspond to my personal logic.

I still don’t understand why the Journal app is not available on the iPad, especially since they are emphasizing using the Apple Pencil more with these new features- thanks for the content

[ItsMee]

Cant wait for the icons customisation!!!!

How about the photo app removing the photo from the pool once it is moved into a folder. Leaving it in the pool makes it impossible to sort.

Product knowledge, clarity of thought and excellent presentation skills makes these videos a must have. Thanks for providing some very useful insight into iPadOS18.

[jmitchell]

Thanks for this video. I find your top feature and how-to videos for ios, macos, etc to be top notch, well done, clear and concise. I send them to my parents all the time for them to learn about the features and functions of their apple devices. Thank you for what you do!

Share play is a game changer . I’ve spent hours trying to help my elderly family

[therobpratt]

100% agree on re-arranging the collapsed sections within a note! Any chance you could show us the diagramming mode of Freeform? Supposedly it’s a new feature in the update.

[cccc]

Could you be so kind to publish a link on where to get the base that you have your little Genelec on? Thank you

[timpindar]

I’d appreciate knowing if any of the new features won’t work on older models - in my case a 2018 iPad Pro 10.5 inch. Thanks.

The Tydlig calculator has been available on iPad for ages and does a great job.

[KazrBrekker]

Really a good update. Earlier I used the Microsoft Math Notes app for this exact function now I can use Apple's own

[philiprand]

Somewhere I have read that Calendar and Reminder would be amalgamated. I would like a list of appointments in order of time. I get this now by using a tag in Reminder (I think that' the term in English, "promemoria" in Italian) and I work around the problem by giving a particular tag to scheduled appointments. I would, however, expect something "cooler" from Mad. To be safe, I now add appointments to both Reminder and Calendar.
