  • One year with the Apple Watch Series 3

    I really struggled to find a Couch to 5K app that didn't need me jogging with a huge iPhone on me. The only one that does it is Intervals. Why on earth the rest, that say they support Apple Watch, actually do it properly and ditch their reliance on the phone. Otherwise, what is the point?

  • Wish list: 9 new CarPlay features for iOS 12

    I fully agree with ALL of these - it's as though you read my mind. 
    It would be great to have some way to manage a car's radio outside the CarPlay world, and then you could only use CarPlay as your one stop shop interface. A lot of Audi's issues with CarPlay is that Audi have their DREADFUL MMI interface that requires so many clicks and pushes just to get back to CarPlay or to do some simple actions. Drives me ABSOLUTELY insane.

  • Review: Logitech's Circle 2 Wired is the best camera with Apple's HomeKit - for now

     Well I would like to agree with your four out of five rating, as a customer owning three of these, and having returned a wire free unit because of its unreliability, I have to disagree with you. I have found the cameras to be highly unreliable, with dreadful Wi-Fi picking up capabilities, even one or 2 meters from my router, it only shows two bars of signal.  I have had to implement additional Wi-Fi routers in the house just to cover a standard size house with cameras attached to the outside walls. The cost of implementation is astonishing. I have found that the responsiveness of the camera and their online service is dreadful, and we as a collective of users, based on the forums, I’ve found a platter of issues from being unable to reset the camera, to just simply being frustrating to work with.

    The biggest problem, however, is the fact that they frequently go off-line without any hope of recovery without a power cycle. After several trips away from home, I have on several occasions had to make do with cameras being off-line permanently, thus negating their usefulness. This is not a security device, but more hobby for them at this point, until they update or improve their firmware.

    On paper, perfect. In reality, frustrating as hell. Just search the forums on the community site for other people who are facing similar frustrations.

  • First look: Apple's Powerbeats 3 Bluetooth headphones with W1 chip and 12-hour battery life

    Seems very strange not to have Lightning. Not very 'committed' but clearly they don't want to put off Android users and have made a marketing choice.
