Best APPS of the MONTH
October is in the books so it’s time to look back at the best apps to hit the App Store in the last month. Our choices include a trio of great Safari extensions and a great local music player. See our entire list.
Mapper for Safari
Alex Kitcoff
Say Goodbye to Google Maps
When doing Google searches for a location or address, Google returns links that open, no surprise, in Google Maps. But with the extension, those links will automatically open in Apple Maps. There’s no need to do anything or cut and paste addresses.
Fantasy Hike
Jens Andersson
Walking Motivation
Fantasy Hike is a great way to get moving. The more you walk, the more you will progress through a beautiful fantasy adventure. You can track your progress, receive achievements, and see notifications as the quest advances. You can sync Apple Watch data and integrate with Apple Health.
StopTheScript
Jeff Johnson
Say Goodbye to JavaScript
A new Safari extension, StopTheScript stops all JavaScript on selected websites. It stops inline JavaScript on a web page along with externally loaded JavaScript.
HomeLog for HomeKit
Pearce Media Limited
Track and Find Issues in Your Smart Home
As you might have guessed by the name, HomeLog for HomeKit can log changes in any HomeKit device including when it’s unreachable.
