iPhone Life - Best Apps, Top Tips, Great Gear

The iPhone has revolutionized gaming, but there are still genres of games that work best with a controller. And GameSir has a nice alternative to also buying a Nintendo Switch or other device. The GameSir G5 ($69.99) was originally on Kickstarter; and while I normally don't promote crowdfunded projects because of the uncertainty, the GameSir has already been funded. And as the name of the G5 suggests, they've produced almost a half dozen different models, and I was able to try the GameSir G5 with my own hands.

Aside from its unparalleled camera quality, seamless user experience, and minimal bloatware, one of the reasons why people choose to invest in an iPhone is because it's well protected against malware. While Apple went all out to make sure all their products are completely secure, your iPhone is unfortunately still exposed to certain vulnerabilities. Connecting to public WiFi networks and using poorly-coded third-party apps can make you susceptible to identity theft, phishing scams, and all sorts of cybercrimes, which is why it's vital that you pull all the stops when it comes to protecting your privacy.

Cost, convenience, and (lack of) variety are three major factors that either hold people back from working out or make it difficult for them to work out consistently. But Aaptiv removes all of those obstacles with its audio-based fitness classes, programs, and challenges led by professional trainers. For $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year, Aaptiv gives you access to over 2500 classes with more being added each week. Plus, there are classes designed for the gym, working out at home, and even for working out while traveling. I honestly didn’t expect to like this app as much as I do; it’s audio-based format is completely different than any other fitness class app I’ve seen, and that’s what makes it shine. Check out more on what Aaptiv does and why we love it below.

I don't know about you, but before I purchase an app in the App Store, I like to read a few reviews to see how other customers have liked (or disliked) their purchase. Now iOS 11.3 makes it easier than ever before to sort app reviews so customers can find the information they want about individual apps. Let's get started learning how to find and sort user-submitted reviews in the App Store on our iPhones, so we have more information before purchasing apps. 

The iPhone's Health app has long been useful for tracking all sorts of medical data, but iOS 11.3 is bringing even more functionality to your Health app. Medical records such as lab results, immunizations, and more can now be organized and shared with a new feature of the Health app, called Health Records. Rather than emailing scanned medical records to healthcare providers, doctors, and hospitals, patients can use Health Records to forward their information directly from their iPhones. Let's get started learning how to set up Health Records and view your medical history, right from your iPhone. 

As both a journalist and iPhone app developer, I spend a lot of time on the keyboard. Whether I'm writing product reviews or apps, a good keyboard is not a luxury for me, it's a necessity. Lately, I've been using the Craft Professional Keyboard ($199.99). It's not cheap, but its features go a long way to justify the pricet ag. 

The 2018 National Hockey League Playoffs are underway, and as the Stanley Cup Finals draw closer, fans are wondering how to live stream the NHL games. Let's find out the NHL Playoff game dates, which channels the games are on this year, and how to live stream all the Stanley Cup Finals to our Apple TVs.
