What I think that iOS automation needs right now

I was thinking about this today whilst reviewing some links on general automation stuff. One of the best tools for automating stuff on iOS is Editorial. I love its workflow generator. It’s great but it doesn’t go far enough. What’s needed is a simple editor for creating iOS workflows that span multiple apps and even incorporate web services like ifttt. Perhaps that’s too far. For a start anyway.

But something that could just help you use the available building blocks and get things moving would be amazing. Rather than having to use loads of URL encoding and stuff like that. It’s a thought. I would certainly buy it anyway.

Disappointed at the Reporter App

I bought this app as I liked the idea of it recording information during the day and acting as a form of journal. However, after a few days or maybe even a week of using it I found that it was asking me lots of questions but not giving me much back in return. It’s a shame really. I was hoping it would give me much more and maybe show me what I did with my time etc.

Perhaps I missed the point of it, and maybe I should give it another go, but I’m not sure it’ll happen soon.
