Plus many of my favorite apps are starting to take advantage of Workflow and making it easier to automate their app. Often, only a tap or two will get you what you need even if the workflow is using multiple apps.

I still haven’t learned all of the ins and outs of this app yet but I love the possibilities for making workflows using multiple apps. Monument Valley is a plus app priced at $3.99.

If you haven’t read that book, and you are a musician with lots of rehearsals, concerts, reedmaking, teaching, etc. Omnifocus is what I use to follow (or try to…) the GTD ideas of David Allen. I have it on all of my devices and am including this app because they released a new version this year. It’s the only way that I stay organized on projects and to-do’s.
