On our YouTube channel, we have a series of videos in progress that aim to highlight new, interesting and useful apps for the iPhone and iPad that we think are worth downloading and checking out.
There are so many apps on the App Store that it can be difficult to find new, high-quality apps to download, plus it’s easy to ignore amazing apps that are a little older. Our February picks include apps to personalize your Apple Watch and iPhone, find and manage Apple Music, follow TV shows, take notes and more.
