Hello! This issue is all about apps – those that help you improve yourself, those that enable you to get more done and those that just mean you can have more fun. We’ve got a list of the 100 essential apps to download across every mobile device: iOS or Android, watchOS or Wear OS. But before that, we take a look at some of the new gear from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, including the fantastic new OnePlus 10 Pro, which lays down the gauntlet for all of 2022’s upcoming smartphones. We’ve also taken a close-up look at Sony’s incoming QD-OLED tellies, said to deliver even more consistent colour and better brightness than current OLEDs – which should be something to behold. Elsewhere we’ve continued our recent…

£free / PS5, XSX The Matrix films don’t have a great record of being converted to games, but don’t worry, because The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience isn’t a game as such. After a photo-realistic intro featuring a CGI Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, it dumps you into a short on-rails shootout before letting you explore a city that looks and feels more real than anything seen on the next-gen consoles so far. Alright, you can’t do much more than run or drive around – but with 35,000 pedestrians, 7000 buildings, 260km of roads and 38,146 drivable cars, there’s plenty of fun to be had crashing into stuff and admiring how realistic the damage is. From a graphics point of view it’s a sign of things to come…

Oh, you’ve snapped your Google Glass. Good memory. Most people – particularly those responsible – have forgotten all about Google’s sci-fi specs, although they do still exist as an Enterprise Edition, used by supply-chain workers at companies such as DHL and Volkswagen. Perhaps that’s why Oppo has taken a different approach with its Air Glass (£tba) – an ‘assisted reality’ (aR) device that projects notifications and other quick-glance info such as directions, health data and live speech-to-text translation onto a 640x480 display right in front of your eye. And yes, it does look like something Robocop might wear on his day off. So it’s a smart monocle? Kind of, although in order to get the Air Glass to stick to your face you will need to attach it magnetically to…

FROSTURE Posture correctors like the Upright Go stick to your back and get all buzzy when you slouch. Frosture reckons you can have a similar experience with just your iPhone. Run the app and slip your phone into a front pocket; it’ll use the device’s accelerometer to detect when you’re not sitting up straight… and nag accordingly. £free / iOS TOWNSCAPER About as non-gamey as a game can be, Townscaper has you place foundations in an endless sea, atop which you build structures. What they look like is determined by an underlying grid – and rules that you’ll need to discover yourself. From the first splash you hear on tapping the screen, this is joyful, soothing fare. £4.49 / Android, iOS SOOSEE For many people, diet is dictated by what…

ROUTINES Humans are creatures of habit, but getting habits infused into your daily routine takes time. With the Routines app, you define what you’d like to do on a regular basis and the days on which those tasks should be performed. The app then provides a daily timeline, while your ongoing streaks are totted up in the Routines tab. £free / Android KIFF In the near future, everyone will have a fridge that will nag them if the milk’s about to go bad. Until then, use Kiff. Manually enter items, scan barcodes and define expiry dates, and you’ll end up with a colourful grid of goodies – and how long you’ve got until each one spoils. Not in-your-face enough? Try the app’s widgets. £3.49 / iOS TV TIME Do you…

WIN-X LAUNCHER For some folks, Windows is the only OS they’ll ever associate with ‘real work’. Those people will love this launcher: it turns an Android handset into a handheld take on Microsoft’s operating system. Well, only the launcher part – but you do get a Start button, app pinning, a file explorer and even mouse support. £free (IAP) / Android PAGETURN UNIVERSAL This PDF reader has you turn pages by winking or moving your mouth to the side by user-defined amounts. That might sound odd… unless you use sheet music and know how annoying page-turns can be when practising. Just don’t try the same gestures with other apps or real-world books, or people will think you’re strange. £3.49 / iOS MORPHO CONVERTER Chances are you do the same unit…

YOUSICIAN Make 2022 the year you master an instrument: Yousician turns learning guitar, piano or even your voice into a game. Lessons are a bit like Guitar Hero but use live audio input rather than toy instruments. Do well and your 2023 resolution will be to headline Glasto. £free (IAP) / Android, iOS DUOLINGO One day we’ll be able to travel freely again – and Duolingo can help you get ready. Its gamified approach to languages won’t make you fluent but it will familiarise you with the basics of vocab and structure, and the bite-sized lessons can easily fit into your day. £free (IAP) / Android, iOS ENCODE If you fancy ruling over an army of scary robots, kick off 2022 by learning to code. While Encode won’t let you…

What’s the story? On paper, the Powerbuds Pro offer the most serious fitness skills of all the in-ears on test here. Built-in motion and heart-rate sensors serve up workout tracking with speed, distance, calories burned and BPM insights for walking, running and cycling, all beamed to the partner Zepp app. Battery life is competitive, with up to 30hrs’ total playback – 9hrs in the buds without ANC and a 21hr boost from the stashable charging case. Four ANC modes, adjustable EQ with 10 presets, in-ear detection and sweat-resistance complete a compelling feature set. Are they any good? These Powerbuds don’t have the most sporty fit, and they’re no match for pricier alternatives on sound or build quality. But if you’re looking for AirPods style on a tighter budget, the overall…

1 Mi Smart Band 5 £33 / stuff.tv/MiBand5 With no installable apps, Xiaomi’s dinky wearable can’t stack up to smartwatches or reply to notifications, but it can relay alerts and track everything from sleep to workouts. It’s better than the Mi Smart Band 4, thanks to a bigger and brighter screen, smarter software and a charger that’s much less annoying. The slightly reduced battery life really isn’t an issue – and with the addition of activity, stress and menstrual cycle tracking, this is a £30-ish gift that keeps giving. Stuff says Fantastic value and decent features make this an easy fitness tracker to recommend 2 Myzone MZ-Switch £140 / stuff.tv/MZSwitch Myzone’s modular heart-rate tracker can be attached to different parts of the body, while the app gamifies your activity. It’s…

1 Samsung QE65QN95A £2199 / stuff.tv/QN95A This is Samsung’s single most expensive 4K TV of 2021 (unless you buy a bigger version), but the pictures justify the outlay. The Korean giant’s implementation of the new Mini LED tech is, on this evidence, something to be reckoned with. It’s difficult to imagine how any of the new sets that are incoming in 2022 could be better. Stuff says This Mini LED television is a fearsomely accomplished set – and the one to beat TIPS & TRICKS You can configure this TV to work with the voice assistant of your choice, not just Samsung’s Bixby. Samsung’s remote is solar-powered, so don’t lose it down the back of the sofa – it’s dark down there. AirPlay 2 integration lets you stream content from…

1 Apple iPad Air from £578 / stuff.tv/iPadAir The 4th-generation iPad Air ushers in big changes. It looks the spit of an 11in iPad Pro (at least from the front), and supports Apple’s snazzy Magic Keyboard and second-gen Pencil… and the A14 chip makes it blazingly fast, leaving its predecessor in the dust. Sure, there are compromises, but none are critical. So if you were considering an iPad Pro but don’t really need the extra power of that phenomenal M1 processor, it might be wise to save yourself a few quid and buy the Air instead. Stuff says Pointing to the iPad’s future rather than its past, this is a meaningful, impressive, powerful Air update 2 Apple iPad Pro from £749 / stuff.tv/iPadPro The iPad Pro’s display is wonderful and…

1 Lego Mindstorms Robot Inventor £330 / stuff.tv/Mindstorms It’s clear Lego has prioritised immediacy and fun with its latest build-your-own-bots kit, which lets you and/or your little ones create five different coding-controlled mecha-beings. Yes, the set lacks a proper screen and relies on a separate device for programming; but it offers great clarity and scope, plus an attitude that encourages tinkering… whatever your age. Stuff says A fun, versatile set for Lego electronics newcomers and old hands alike 2 Sphero RVR £270 / stuff.tv/SpheroRVR Pulling off the balance between serious coding and knockabout fun, this is an all-terrain rover with real programming chops. Just be warned that Sphero is warning of “massive supply chain disruptions”, so you might have to wait. Stuff says Enough fun to convert any coding-phobe 3…

1 Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen) from £29 / stuff.tv/Dot This fabric-covered take on Marvin the paranoid android in disguise as a Magic 8-Ball feels playful yet classical. It can’t match a full-size smart speaker for audio, but as a little radio and an Alexa assistant for the bedside table or kitchen worktop, this cutey gets the job done. It’s worth paying £10 more for the ‘with Clock’ version, which adds extra functionality beyond telling the time. Stuff says With the optional clock, this is our favourite bedside wondergadget TIPS & TRICKS Fed up of yelling? Alexa’s voice can work like an intercom with connected Echo devices. Alexa Voice Shopping lets you order from Amazon; add a ‘voice code’ to keep the kids off. Dot at your bedside? Saying “Alexa,…

Where do you keep your TV when you’re not watching it? On the wall? How very old-fashioned. LG’s battery-powered StanbyME comes on a height-adjustable pedestal, so you can plonk it at the end of your bed/sunlounger/treadmill and swivel, tilt and rotate the 27in screen until it’s just so, before stashing it away to recharge when you’re done. Of course, that means it’s not exactly suited to plugging in a Sky Q box, so while you do get an HDMI socket it’s designed to be used more like a tablet than a traditional TV. You navigate using the touchscreen rather than a remote, with onboard Wi-Fi offering access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and so on. There’s also NFC for mirroring from your phone. The screen can even be removed from…

YOUR PS5 WANTS TO BE PINK It’s hard to be picky about the colour of your PS5 when they’re still rarer than T-Rex burgers – but if you’ve managed to get hold of one and aren’t keen on the standard white, Sony will sell you a console cover for £45. Choose from Cosmic Red or Midnight Black, with Nova Pink, Starlight Blue and Galactic Purple coming soon. BBC STREAMS TO SONOS BBC Sounds has long been conspicuous by its absence from Sonos’s S2 app, but the only black mark on an otherwise practically flawless system has been removed: you can now add the Beeb’s app, which allows livestreaming of its radio stations, podcasts and other on-demand content, via the ‘Add a Service’ option in settings. TADO GETS REAL (TIME) Tado…

SKETCH 360 Pah, 2D sketches are so last century! With this Microsoft Garage project, you can doodle your entire surroundings using a stylus (or a finger), wherever you happen to be. Guides stop your creations going wonky, and your work can be exported to JPEGs that can later be viewed as 360° photos on Facebook and Lightroom. £free / Android PIXAKI Decades ago, pixel art existed because of limited hardware. These days it’s down to style. But conventional art packages aren’t really geared towards pixel-precision placement. Pixaki is, providing an ideal canvas for working on your backgrounds and sprites. Terrified of that price? Try the free Pixaki 4 Intro first. £23.99 / iPad LUMAFUSION Time was, a video edit suite would be the size of your bedroom; LumaFusion stuffs one…

NOW ADD THIS OTTERBOX DEFENDER If you’re out and about, you want your phone in a case. And if your outdoor pursuits are of the more extreme variety, that case should be tough. Every Otterbox has port covers, wireless charging support and raised edges to protect screens and cameras. Most importantly, your phone will more likely survive an unexpected trip to a hard surface. from £35 / otterbox.co.uk ATLAS OBSCURA Travel guides typically favour the usual suspects; Atlas Obscura is more interested in the unusual. Armed with this app, you can discover local wonders drawn from over 22,000 worldwide listings. Each has a write-up and photos, and can be flagged for later or marked as visited. Found something new? Submit your own entry. £free / iOS MEANDR When you rock…

Beats Fit Pro What’s the story? Think AirPods Pro smarts with gym-friendly design: the ear-gripping Beats Fit Pro pack 9.5mm drivers and the same H1 chip you find in Apple’s buds. That’s used to power adaptive EQ that tweaks the audio to suit your surroundings, plus ANC and a transparency mode. Spatial audio senses your head movements and shifts the music to create a 360° listening experience; you get a competitive 7hrs of battery life, and the buds are sweat-resistant – although the case isn’t, and there’s no wireless charging. Note that we’ve listed the dollar price, but UK pricing should be official by the time you read this. Are they any good? These Beats are excellent on many levels. Unless you really love the earhook design of the Powerbeats…

FIRST ADD THESE… ONE JOBY GORILLAPOD MAGNETIC 325 In the box, the Action 2 packs both a standard tripod mount and an action cam mount. This means that, unlike GoPros and other action cameras, it plays ball with the GorillaPod Magnetic 325: a lightweight, low-cost, compact minipod that grapples on to objects and magnetically sticks to surfaces. £35 / joby.com TWO DJI MIC The Action 2’s mics are pretty good for an action cam… but if you really want to level up your audio, buy a DJI wireless mic. With a 250m transmission range, dual-channel recording, up to 14 hours of onboard memory and 15-hour battery life, plus support for other DJI products, it’s a great addition to your DJI kitbag. £289 / dji.com THREE ANKER POWERCORE SLIM 10000 If…

Twenty years ago, the console wars took a turn for the tasty as Microsoft entered the fray. Even as one of the richest companies in the world, its success with Xbox was not guaranteed; but over the past two decades, major innovations and memorable franchises have cemented its place in gaming history. The original console’s hard drive and Ethernet port represented the kind of long-term thinking that helped Xbox Live pioneer online gaming, while the Xbox 360 became one of the most successful of all console generations – which saw not only the advent of HD, but also the rise of indie games via Xbox Live Arcade. There were some disasters too – such as Kinect, not to mention the awful initial strategy of Xbox One. But it’s learned and…

1 Sony WH-1000XM4 £240 / stuff.tv/WHXM4 With their balance of wearability, active noise-cancelling prowess and audio performance, there hasn’t been a better package than the Sony XM3s… until now. The XM4s look and sound almost identical, but a range of new features – including Speak-to-Chat, which stops the music when you start talking – aims to lure you away from your current ’phones. If those are the XM3s (still available at a super-low price, by the way), it’s tough to justify the upgrade; but who’s going to knock Sony off its perch now? Stuff says Not surprisingly given their heritage, these are the best all-round noise-cancelling headphones you can buy 2 Bowers & Wilkins PX7 £300 / stuff.tv/PX7 B&W’s second ANC headphones place greater emphasis on comfort and are all…

1 Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar £1799 / stuff.tv/AmbeoSoundbar Utterly convincing Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D sound, ample power and lots of inputs mean no other soundbar currently available can perform feats with the solidity and confidence of this Sennheiser. The sheer room-filling scale of this device’s sound is remarkable, and it’s hard to think of any content that wouldn’t benefit from being Ambeo’d. That’s why, as well as being the biggest and the most expensive, it’s the best you can buy. Stuff says The Ambeo Soundbar is a big unit but the sound it makes is bigger still 2 Sonos Arc £899 / stuff.tv/SonosArc Don’t expect this soundbar to do everything a multi-speaker Dolby Atmos setup can do, but its up-firing and side-firing drivers give a real sense of scale for…

1 Half-Life: Alyx from £22 / Oculus, Vive, Valve Index Announcing Alyx as not only a ‘midquel’ but a VR exclusive got some Half-Life diehards riled up… but in classic Valve fashion, the end result is utterly brilliant. Alyx succeeds because its universe just happens to be a perfect fit for the format. It’s also larger and much more robust than most VR games, at a meaty 12-15 hours. And though it unfolds at a different kind of cadence to past Half-Life games, it feels like a fully fledged solo campaign and a key part of the franchise narrative. Stuff says Valve’s beloved series returns… and offers one of the strongest arguments to date for VR gaming 2 Beat Saber from £23 / Oculus, Vive, PSVR Gleefully swing your twin…

The slinky sprinters On Running Cloudrock Waterproof Yes, it looks as though you’re walking on pieces of Lego, but On Running has created one of the lightest pairs of hiking boots around, weighing only 445g. Plus, with a stylish silhouette, these boots won’t look out of place on the high street. The waterproof design is built for speed-hiking, which is perfect if you’re running late for an appointment up Ben Nevis. £180 / on-running.com STREET The dapper drifters Red Wing Classic Moc Toe 8849 Some trends, like the cardigan sweater and Cliff Richard, are best left in the ’50s – but Red Wing’s Moc Toe boots haven’t aged a bit since 1952. Ideal for work or mooching about the city on weekends… and if the past 70 years are anything…

NOW ADD THIS SONY WH-1000XM4 When playing games that require concentration, you need complete immersion – and that means shutting yourself off from that noisy nuisance known as the real world. In our review, we called Sony’s WH-1000XM4s the best all-round noise-cancelling headphones you can buy. They’re ideal for thinky games, whether you’re playing the in-game soundtrack or just pumping in mellow tunes in order to keep your brain working smoothly. And of course, these comfy cans are superb for listening to music too. £240 / sony.co.uk 7 BILLION HUMANS In a world where robots do all the work, humans are bored. So the robot rulers have them perform menial box-shifting tasks, ‘programming’ them using step-by-step instructions. The mix of puzzling and satire is first-rate, and you’ll never gripe about…

BRICKIT APP If you’re a Lego fan you won’t need help discovering new kits, but what about new builds from existing ones? Rather than having you laboriously tot up a blocky inventory to feed into a website, Brickit App asks you to tip your bricks on to the floor and photograph them, whereupon, like magic, it’ll suggest what you can build. £free / iOS (Android beta) JUSTWATCH We’re fans of JustWatch for making sense of the mess of streaming networks. Search for a show or movie you fancy watching, and it’ll outline where you can do so. And the New and Popular feeds can take over when you’ve already guzzled a (virtual) pile of box-sets and are wondering what to feast your eyes on next. £free / Android, iOS MELA…

JONATHAN YEO STUDIO Ever wondered what an artist gets up to in the privacy of the studio? Jonathan Yeo invites you into his, in a rather more literal sense than you might expect. Using AR, you can place a miniature studio on your desk or blow it up to life-size, poking around while the artist works away on his latest splotchery. £free / Android, iOS NOW ADD THIS OSMO CODING STARTER KIT Some kids respond better to tactile objects than fiddling around with virtual ones on a screen. Osmo gives you the best of both with its Coding Starter Kit. Through connecting physical blocks of code, the user influences what happens on the screen – composing music, solving puzzles, or helping Awbie the monster get his fill of strawberries. £99…

FIND YOUR WAY ■ Start slow Don’t try to do too much at once – otherwise you’ll fail, become disheartened, punch your teddy bear and decide resolutions are a waste of time. Instead, make small changes, log them on your phone, infuse them fully into your routine and only then build towards doing more… if you feel the need. ■ Give yourself a break Digital systems can be oh so inflexible. Apple, for example, obliterates Activity streaks if you have the audacity to be bed-ridden for a day. If this bothers you, seek out apps and services that allow you to pause routines, or to do tasks a certain number of times within a set period but on whichever days you please. ■ Fill in the gaps You might want…

What’s the story? Jaybird has an excellent track record for sporty buds built to withstand whatever the outdoors – or the gym floor – throws at you. We were big fans of the original true wireless Vistas, and this sequel sticks to the same winning formula: 8hr battery life, solid customisable sound and a secure, comfortable wingtip fit. But there are notable improvements too – like even more total playback time (24hrs with the case), military-grade durability and a weatherproof case, plus new ANC and hear-through skills. Are they any good? The Jaybirds set the benchmark for fitness buds. The one-piece wingtip and ear-gel design delivers an almost unrivalled fit and the audio performance is rich and full, with plenty of bass and excellent customisation in the app. That includes…

£240 / stuff.tv/EchoShow15 DAY 01 Amazon loves to throw new types of Echo device at the wall to see what sticks… and this time it really is throwing something onto the wall. The Echo Show 15 is a HUGE 15.6in take on the ‘Alexa with a screen’ concept that can be used in either portrait or landscape and is designed primarily to be wall-mounted. It comes with a mounting kit, while a longer cable is available should you want to hang it up away from a power outlet. And if the thought of wall-mounting puts you off, then it can also be placed on a funky (and naturally separately available) stand. Almost everything here could be done already, but it’s the extra polish that really makes the Echo Show 15…

1 Google Pixel 6 Pro from £849 / stuff.tv/Pixel6Pro The Pixel 6 Pro is a true flagship device and the best Google phone yet. With smart shooting modes adding flexibility and a trio of lenses delivering delightfully detailed images under every kind of lighting, this Pixel is trading blows with the best. It has one or two weak spots, but Android 12’s slick user experience mostly makes up for them. It’s the fact that cameras are now only a part of the package, rather than being the main benefit, that will give Apple and Samsung owners serious pause for thought. Stuff says Ambitious and uncompromising, this is Google’s finest smartphone by far TIPS & TRICKS Go to Settings > System > Gestures to enable taking a screenshot with a tap…

1 Apple Watch Series 7 from £369 / stuff.tv/WatchS7 If you’ve got an Apple Watch Series 3 or even earlier, upgrading to this one will be like walking into a lighting shop from a dark and foggy winter evening: the display is bigger and clearer, and there are new input options too. As a wearable it can’t be beaten simply because it does so much, especially if you’re into fitness; just bear in mind that it’s probably not worth upgrading from a Series 5 or 6 – and of course, its usefulness remains totally dependent on you having an iPhone. Stuff says The mighty Apple Watch cements its place at the top of the wearable tree 2 Garmin Fenix 6 £542 / stuff.tv/Fenix6 Anyone who’s truly into their fitness will…

1 Amazon Echo (4th Gen) £65 / stuff.tv/Echo Having morphed from a cylinder to a sphere, the latest Echo is an excellent newsreader, weather forecaster, personal assistant and intercom straight out of the box; but it’s now also a capable speaker and a very accessible smart home hub. It doesn’t sound as good as the Sonos One or Apple HomePod for listening to music, but it’s significantly smarter than both and considerably cheaper too. Stuff says An all-round upgrade that makes the Echo a smarter speaker than ever TIPS & TRICKS The Echo’s built-in Zigbee hub can hook up hundreds of smart home devices without a bridge. Pair a compatible thermostat and the Echo’s temperature sensor can activate the heating. Alexa Flash Briefings deliver bursts of news or trivia; choose…

1 GoPro Hero10 Black £330 / stuff.tv/H10B At a glance it’s almost impossible to tell the Hero10 Black apart from its predecessor. Each is a little box with screens front and rear, and a lens housing that juts out. Under the hood, however, GoPro has truly levelled up its latest action camera – and much of that is down to the new GP2 processor. It’s more responsive and captures better images in all lighting conditions, while ‘nice to have’ features (better livestreaming and webcam support, faster wireless and wired transfer of video) iron out some old issues. Stuff says Beefed-up internals make the Hero10 Black a nippy, powerful, polished action cam 2 DJI Air 2S £880 / stuff.tv/Air2S DJI’s laurels remain assuredly un-rested-upon, and this may be its best drone…

1 Fujifilm X-T4 £1399 / stuff.tv/XT4 The Fuji X-T4 might be the high-end mirrorless camera of your dreams. Relatively affordable for a flagship, it excels at stills and video thanks to in-body image stabilisation, high-speed shooting and 4K recording at up to 60fps. Rapid shooting is backed up by fancy AF tricks that feel equally fast and reliable, and even the battery life goes above and beyond the usual standards. There’s no doubting this is a worthy successor to the already fabulous X-T3. Stuff says A superbly capable mirrorless camera for shooting pretty much anything in style TIPS & TRICKS It’s easy to set up the X-T4’s customisable Q button: just hold it down for a couple of seconds for options. Avoid those wonky horizons by turning on the built-in…

Harumph! ‘Ms’ indeed! Another male role model lost! It’s political correctness gone mad! We assume you’re doing a hilarious joke there, but this game was never intended to change the world. It began life as a bootleg of sorts – designed by GCC, who were big into enhancement kits for arcade cabinets. GCC figured it could patch Pac-Man, which was huge at the time, and thus was born Crazy Otto, who looked like Pac-Man if he’d been punched in both eyes and had two skinny legs glued to his bottom. He was chased around mazes by monsters with blue feet. Um, OK. So where exactly did gaming’s breakout female character arrive from? Predictably, GCC’s efforts caused lawsuits to fly… but Pac-Man’s owners were keen on how this update fixed their…
