Curio
£5.99 PER MONTH
Apple recently
unveiled its own
magazine service,
but if you prefer to listen to
articles then Curio is for you.
It’s got thousands of hours of
content from The Guardian,
The Washington Post, Aeon
Magazine and more, all read
by professional narrators.
Why you need it: It’s got a
great selection of content.

you listen on the go.

Rolando: Royal Edition
£2.
An App Store hit
in 2008, Rolando
disappeared in iOS’s
32-bit app-ocalypse. Now
rebuilt with the ‘2.5D’ style
seen in its (also AWOL) sequel,
you swipe and tap through
platform-based puzzles to
help a rotund tribe reclaim
its kingdom from invaders.
Why you need it: Tactile fun
for kids in particular.
What it’s best for: A look back
at mobile gaming, remastered.

you fix your Mac.
What it’s best for: Clearly

After an 18-year absence,
CorelDRAW is back on the Mac
with a dedicated app for 2019.
The app features a number of
interesting features, including LiveSketch.
This is a vector graphic tool that uses neural
networks to improve your work. For example,
if you hand draw an imperfect circle and enable
LiveSketch, it can automatically correct your
disc-shaped sketch into a perfect circle.

[ALBUM]
You’re the Man
Marvin Gaye £9.
The lost 1972 follow-up

On. The earworms here,
like I’m Gonna Give You
Respect, deserve a place
in your soul playlist.

[BOOK]
The Genius Who
Took Apple to...
£9.
... the Next Level
follows Tim Cook’s
rise to the helm of one
of the most valuable
companies in the world.

[PODCAST]
The Last Podcast
on the Left
FREE
Three hilarious hosts
discuss horrors real and
imagined – serial killers,
legends, conspiracy
theories and more.

Elsewhere there are tools to help graphic
design, illustration, page layout and photo
editing. Corel has also launched a website
called CorelDRAW.app, which is a web-based
version of the app that lets you pick up your
work when you’re not at home.
Although CorelDraw has been associated
with Windows for years, this version feels like it
really belongs on macOS, with familiar controls,
plus support for Dark Mode and the Touch Bar.

TechTool Pro 11
£123.
