MacPowers Users, episode 158, IOS7, apps and gems. Welcome back to another episode of the Mac Power Users

podcast. I'm Katie Floyd alongside with David Sparks. Say David

Hey Katie Floyd. That Katie Floyd thing is sticking.

Oh, is it? Yes.

I had...

That's my plan.

Yeah.

So this is a show that we've been wanting to do for a couple of weeks ever since IOS 7 came out and then we kind of went back and forth of do we do it immediately after IOS 7 comes out or do we wait a little bit.

So I think hopefully we've got the timing right. So we want to talk a little bit about what we really

like about iOS 7 but but specifically some of the of our favorite apps that have

been redesigned for iOS 7 because there have been a ton of great app redesigns with I.

Well, I guess, you know, a subtitle for this show would be Love Letter to I.

And there's some things we like about the new operating system and some things we like about some of the apps old apps in general that have been redesigned

But like you said I thought it made more sense to wait to see what after a few weeks we were really, you know, catching on to as opposed to things that just looked new and shiny that first day.

But wasn't that an exciting energy the first day Iowa 7 it. It really it reminded me of the

launch of the iPhone 3G the day they put the new iPhone out and they release the

App Store and it was like that that was a bad day that was the end they released Mobile Me that day didn't they? Yeah well but I forgot all the bad

parts I just remember that there was all these great new apps suddenly available and we could download them and have them.

And it felt really great because it added so much functionality to our phones.

And IOS 7 launch day more than any in the intervening years felt like that to me.

Like all of a sudden, all these apps I love for coming out with these really great updates.

So I really enjoyed that day and it was a lot of fun.
