For the many years I have carried an iPhone in my pocket I have always wanted a good way to check on public transport timetables. I’ve tried many apps over the years and while many were functional none offered me the simplicity I was after. A case in point is the official app of Metlink, […]

Prizmo 5 for iOS – by Christian Hölscher
Yes, I am aware of the fact that there have been a lot of scan apps for iOS that “replace” hardware scanners for some users. I have been a Scanner Pro user for years and that is a very good app. But, still, those apps are absolutely no replacement for a dedicated scanner as far […]

GTA Bluetooth Car Kit Review
While I admit to some envy of Allison driving around in a brand new Tesla, I’m still happy with my new car. I say new. It was new when I got it. 13 years ago. I’ve adhered to the manufacturer’s servicing program almost perfectly, including having the servicing done by them, and it has barely […]
