I'm totally over subscription based apps. As soon as I see that is the only option its off the list.

Even car features are going to subscription based. You want to remotely start you car, have your nav search for the local Big Box store etc? Cough up the monthly fee.

Ridiculous, I keep away from subscription based apps too.

Yeah, especially when something like a calendar app charges astronomical amounts. I try and use the built in apps where possible as they have become a lot more functional. Apple calendar supports natural language and it’s quite good.

I love your videos, however the cuts to the camera behind the camera are always jarring for me completely takes me out of the focus of the video. Not sure why but thought I'd mention it.

MacWhisper - Privately transcribe text from video and audio files. Supports multiple languages. If needed, it will also very quickly translate the transcribed text from one language to another. There is a free version and an inexpensive pro version.

Hi Mark. Have a question, do you know how power hungry is Beeper? Are even more compared to Sidkick? Don't know if. You know that one? Thank you.

It’s Marks view on writing apps which interests me most in this video as this seems to be a bit more of a category than a specific app. First he tells us to use word, then he says don’t use it. I get that people have too much of a reliance on word when there are often cheaper and better alternatives available. I get that Ulysses has its appeal to certain audiences because of its clean interface, but it’s pointless for me to use since it’s subscription based and I wouldn’t get value for money from using it. But my question then is if he isn’t recommending word, why isn’t he discussing apples own pages or another even another alternative? There’s more functionality in pages than some people realise while overall having a relatively clean look
@MarkEllisReviews10 ай бұрын
I think it's pretty clear that I'm NOT recommending Word in this one 😉 Ulysses is simply the app that works for me. It definitely isn't for everyone.
@carlstevenwilletts10 ай бұрын
Word, and Pages, are word processors. They are for formatting your text more than anything else (of course you can write with them if you want). Writing apps strip most of the interface away to allow you to just write. Many who write for a living don't want to wrestle with a word processor and prefer either a writing app that is streamlined, or something that is to tailored to their specific needs. I used to like using Word to write, but after experiencing Scrivener, iA Writer, and other writing apps, it feels cumbersome to go back to a word processor and write. I will now usually just paste the text I have into them and do the formatting.

Hi Mark, thanks for another great video. I’ve used (or still use) most of the apps you mentioned. Beeper I didn’t know, sounds interesting. Craft is my favourite note taking app. It looks great, is easy to use and offers a ton of options to create a great PKM system.
