  • Bublup Brings Sharing to a Whole New Visual Level

    Reviewed by Sarah Hanlon

    Though there are many different ways to share information and save interesting things you may find on the internet, it’s always worth trying different apps and services to see if they make it easier to organize your world. 

    Bublup is an exceptional new service that assists with keeping photos, notes, weblinks and videos beautifully organized in one place. 

    Concept and Functionality:

    Staying organized is pretty important when it comes to saving things you may find while browsing the web. This is especially true if you’re researching a topic. Bublup, from Bublup Inc., helps you keep anything and everything together in one spot.

    Ease of use is a vital part of every app or service that’s designed to help you stay organized, and Bublup is a breeze to figure out.

    In a true testament to Bublup’s overall high quality and effective UI design, all options and features are easy to find, and the layout is visually beautiful.

    While experimenting with Bublup, I realized that visually it felt quite a bit like Pinterest in that your saved items are organized in a grid layout for easy viewing.

    However, it goes well beyond Pinterest in that you can save pretty much every media source you can think of such as weblinks, notes, documents, music, videos, and more. 

    Features:

    A showcase feature of Bublup is the ability to “roll up” saved content into a custom webpage so you can easily share it with others. This is invaluable if you’re planning on consolidating and sharing saved items with someone else, mainly because the final product looks like it took hours, not minutes, to make.

    Bublup iPhone App

    Perhaps one of my favorite things about Bublup is that the app is not only cross-compatible with iPhone and Android devices, but you can also download an extension for your preferred browser, making it infinitely easier to save things you find on the web.

    There are also various cloud storage options to choose from. If you stay with the free version of Bublup, your account will have 3GB of storage. You can receive up to 12GB for referrals or you can subscribe to a monthly plan (up to 1TB for $10 per month).

    Value:

    Bublup is available to download from the App Store for free and, as I mentioned above, you can choose to stick with the free version or select a monthly subscription plan for additional features. 

    When it comes to using Bublup as a free app, you can’t go wrong with 3GB of free cloud storage to test drive the service.

    I definitely recommend downloading it to see if it can help you sort and organize your digital life.

    Bublup requires iOS 11.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

  • 7 Amazing iPhone Secrets You Will Always Use

    9 Amazing iPhone Secrets You Will Always Use
    TheiPhoneAppReview.com

    You already know the iPhone does some amazing things that you depend on every day. That isn’t news. In the past year, however, mainly due to Covid-19, the world has moved to social distancing along with remote work and remote learning in a way that changes the equation.

    It’s more important now than ever before to get the most out of your iPhone. Don’t sweat it, our 7 iPhone Secrets will pay you dividends over and over again.

    1. Password Sharing

    If you’ve ever struggled to correctly enter a bizarre and way too long cryptic Wi-Fi password you will appreciate this one. As long as one person in your group is already on the network you can easily connect to that same Wi-Fi without having to re-enter the password.

    Just put the iPhone that’s already connected next to the one you want to connect and automagically the second one will connect. Thankfully sharing permission will be requested so this process can’t be hijacked.

    2. Cross-Device Clipboard

    You love Apple products. Okay, we get it, so do we, but it’s a stone drag when it comes to moving from device to device. Why doesn’t your work follow you around in a seamless fashion so you can change the device you’re working on and not lose a step? We’re here to tell you that you can.

    As long as all of your devices are signed in to your iCloud account they have one shared clipboard. That means you can copy text on your iPhone and then paste it on your MacBook Pro without a second thought. Magic.

    3. Handoff

    As far as actual productivity goes, this feature is definitely among the most useful, and is clearly worth being on our Top 7 list. Just as with the multi-device clipboard, your macOS and iOS devices can play nice by transferring running apps in a “Handoff”. This goes for most open apps, browser pages, or documents, from one device to another.

    For remote workers who are juggling work and life this is a solid productivity gain. It means that if you are reading a news article on your iPhone but want to finish it on your MacBook Pro, it will show up at the bottom left of the Dock. In another example you might have started working on an email on your MacBook Air and now you want to finish it while you’re getting a ride to the supermarket on your iPhone.

    If you’re moving to your Mac, simply open a new tab and you’ll see links to all the open tabs on your iPhone or iPad. If you’re moving to your iPhone or iPad, touch the ‘2 pages’ icon in the lower right and scroll up, you’ll see a line for each open tab from your Mac’s browser.

    4. Siri Reminders & Shortcuts

    Your Reminders app can be hassle to use and when something isn’t entirely dead-simple it can be overlooked. Well, the secret sauce to making Reminders one of the most useful apps on an iPhone is simple; use Siri. Instead of the multi-step and clumsy way you were accessing it before, try just saying “Hey Siri, remind me to stop on my way home for groceries at 5 pm”.

    You can also tag another reminder to the location of your Supermarket, providing it’s in your contacts with its address. Then you can set a second reminder to buy a specific list of items when you’re there. This ability to create reminders based on time and location, or based on your calendar, really sets Siri + Reminders apart as an extremely powerful productivity tool.

    But don’t stop there. Go beyond using Siri to play music, get the temperature or and set reminders. use Siri to run automated workflows for frequent tasks or use it as the entry point into the Shortcuts app, which comes pre-packaged with a gallery of shortcuts ready to use, or you can get creative and create your own to be triggered with your voice.

    5. Notes App

    Notes apps are more than plentiful in the App Store. Plus, they pretty much all allow for some amount of multi-media input. One the best uses of a Notes app is to do scanning. Apple’s Notes app is free, extremely simple-to-use, hassle free, and it’s already on your iPhone. Stop doing things the hard way, scan images right into your Notes entry to expand or clarify an existing note or to just be the entire note.

    The tight integration of Apple devices also lets you use your iPhone as a scanner for your Mac. All you have to do is open the Preview app on your Mac, select File > Import from iPhone > Scan Documents. Automagically the camera app on your iPhone will open, auto-detect your document, and send it directly to your Mac. We guarantee that if you just do this once to test it out, you’ll be hooked. Stop going to your printer to scan things onto an SSD card to transfer to your Mac. Do it the easy way.

    6. iPhone Camera App for QR Codes

    QR codes may not have taken the world by storm, as they probably should have, but they are much easier to work with than most people think. If you think you have to download a separate app for this think again. Watching tv late and an ad comes on with a special deal if you scan their QR code? No prob, just whip start up your iPhone camera and snap it.

    The built-in iPhone camera app will automatically detect that you’re pointing it at a QR code and display a notification you can tap to access whatever website or information it’s linked to.

    7. Spacebar Trackpad

    Finally, let’s talk about text input. A lot of your day-to-day and moment-to-moment use of your iPhone is centered around text input. Of course you’re always typing more than just a few words of text and often times you then need to edit your text. The next step is where the frustration comes in. Tapping somewhere to place the cursor just where you want it is almost impossible. A much better way is to do a long press on the spacebar. The keyboard turns into a trackpad which then lets you move the cursor exactly where you want it. Couldn’t be easier.
