iOS can do a lot of things and some we forget about. Tonight, my daughter stumbled across message effects! Message effects are going to make my texts so much more fun.

Stocard makes Apple’s Wallet (Passbook) better by adding your rewards cards.
I’m a fan of Apple’s Wallet (previously Passbook) but it’s really limited for me. It’s not easy to add a card and it’s not compatible with every rewards card for some odd reason.

Apple’s Low Power Mode in iOS 9 is Amazing
