Pen, What a list it could be….I love the new Apple Photo’s App, what an incredible system they have for identifying folks in the photo….it’s simply amazing.
I use Adobe Acrobat many times a day, the latest DC version has a problem with scanning (they are aware) but the handling, manipulating, altering, etc. etc. of PDF files is marvelous. iTunes is one I can’t do without, I listen to dozens and dozens of AudioBooks, purchased from Apple and Audible (an Amazon company) so this app is key to organizing the books and then transferring to either an iPod (when working in the yard and not wanting to expose the iPhone to the dirt) or on the iPhone for when going about my day..the AirPods have made this SO much simpler…by the way, I was in the Apple Store Friday getting cables and a couple came in to get the AirPods AND THEY ARE STILL BACKORDERED!! Likewise I can’t do without iBooks, goodness Apple is miles ahead of the Kindle, at least for the way I want to use my reading….I want to “keep” from a book the items that are important to me. By highlighting the important text it allows me to then export just that text to an email, sending it to myself I now have only the items that will help me in the future….I don’t have to wonder about what book I read an important topic, what page it was on, etc…it’s right there for me to search using another program Sonar… I use SnapZ Pro and WireTap Studio extensively allowing me to capture video and Audio for preservation. Quicken, I can’t do without this. It not only keeps track of all my records it makes taking the info to the CPA at the end of the year a matter of printing the list….since they have updated the program several times it’s become much better… I use FileMaker all day, however if it wasn’t for Jonathan Fletcher I would be lost, this man is a Maestro and can make the program do wonders. I also use FinalCut Pro for the editing of video’s. It’s got capabilities I’ll never learn but for my needs it’s superb. For Payroll I use Aatrix, it’s excellent, sophisticated enough to do a large firm with many employees, these numbers are sent to the CPA monthly and are so accurate they don’t even check, they just plug in the figures for the government records and send me a bill!! Lastly I must mention electronic banking…I changed to Chase a couple years ago so I could use ApplePay, my what a marvelous financial institution. I can do most all the banking from the iPhone, I pay all but 3 of my monthly bills through Chase, and since they pioneered ApplePay with Apple using the Apple Watch with Chase is amazing…it has really simplified my life. I could go on but I’ve bored everyone enough.
