Habitica: Gamify Your Life [Review]

January 25, 2018
by Benjamin Smith

Habitica is a task manager app that was recently featured in the iOS app store. It is also available on Android.

What caught my attention about it was that it used gamification as a motivator to help you accomplish your task. Gamification is the act of adding game-like elements to make something that may be mundane to make it interesting. It is usually used for education.

This 8bit RPG style game/task manager allows you to first create a character for yourself with sever customizing options. A Zelda style guide walks you through each step as you set up your account.

Who Should Use the iPad Pro 10.5? [Review]

October 18, 2017

My first Apple device was the iPad Air (first generation). I had been using an old HP touch-pad tablet, but I knew that iPads were the real tablets and where all the interesting innovations were occurring.

I’ve used that device a lot since then and especially since iOS 9, but it has aged. After saving for a while, I finally upgraded to an iPad Pro 10.5.

But is it a good device and would it suit you?

3 Airdrop Issues We Wish Apple Would Solve

In concept, Apple’s Airdrop is awesome. In reality, the wireless transfer of data between all Apple products, for instance between iPhone and Mac, can really, really suck. Lately, I’ve become mighty frustrated with some persistent Airdrop issues. A little (OK, I’ll admit it: a lot) of googling later, I had to conclude that these are well-known issues Apple still hasn’t solved. I get that some things may not be a priority, but some of these issues have persisted for years, so why not fix them?

Let’s look at 3 well-known Airdrop issues we wish Apple would solve.

Should You Use Apple Clips for Church Video?

Video is becoming an increasingly important medium online. YouTube is a huge behemoth of a social network and is still growing. Facebook and Twitter are trying to get in on the action too with mixed success, and as churches and ministries, we need to consider how we can use video in useful and effective ways. One aspect of that is the effective editing of our videos so when Apple released its new Clips app, I decided to give it a go and see how it could be used.

TL;DR Clips is a fairly easy to use video app with some cool touches for quickly making and sharing mobile videos, However, it has a couple of big shortcomings that will probably make it unsuitable for most usages.

A question I see often from youth pastor is how can I use an iPad in youth ministry. This question is one I consistently wrestled with until three years ago. I began using an iPad Mini for different ministry tasks. Now a lot of this can be done on other tablets. Not all the same apps but there are plenty of them out there that do similar tasks.
