With the new iPhones, you can change the aperture after you take the photo. However, the app Slør is still ahead of its time, enabling the editing of a photo's depth of field and creating tilt-shift effects, as shown in the dog portrait above. The app works on any iPhone that has portrait mode, not just the new iPhones. It's a magical portrait mode tool, says Tapsmart in their review.



AnyList logo Many iPUG members' favorite list-making app is AnyList. You can use it for your grocery lists or to create any type of list you want. You can share your lists with others and you can optionally sync them across devices: iPhones, iPads, or Macs. As you shop, you can cross off list items on your Apple Watch. You can use AnyList to import recipes and also to plan menus. AnyList is one of the smartest iOS apps.

Comedian John Oliver covers the balance and tension between security and privacy... and brings it into focus like nobody else ;-)


This is a professionally made video for Bentley Motors. It was filmed on an iPhone 5s and edited on an iPad Air using iMovie. Be sure you watch till the end where they show behind the scenes filming.

Is there a more fun guilty pleasure than Solitaire?! Get it as a free app from Edgerift! Theirs is addictive, with beautiful graphics and fluid performance. (Just remember to stop every so often.)


Artist Kyle Lambert draws a cat on his iPad using the Drawing pad app.

This funny video reminds us that paper is not dead (yet).


Who We are

Evernote Meetup, Tucson, AZ
A photo from an Evernote Meetup.

Back in 2000, we started out as a group of people who like Palms (Palm III's and V's, Treos, Tungstens, Visors, Zodiacs, Cliés, etc. -- remember those?). In 2007, a few of us got shiny new iPhones (originals, remember those?), as well as iPod Touches. Today, in 2019, all our members combine both an iPhone and an iPad (or two), and most also use Apple Watches.

We get together once a month to discuss the use of our mobile devices, to talk about software applications, hardware, and anything else that is related to mobile technology. We are not affiliated with Apple, we are just happy nerds who enjoy technology ;-)

Our meetings are free and open to all. Everyone is welcome, novices and power users alike.
