Apple apps that will make your life easier.

2021 was a year of expansion for Apple’s services, bringing innovative new apps capable of enriching users’ lives in many ways.

The familiar Apple Music added new releases to its existing library of 90 million songs, while introducing innovative features that transformed the listening experience. The updated auto play feature, the ability to share lyrics from your favourite songs with others, improved search and a new design make listening to and discovering new music a delight. If you would rather skip the search, Apple Music Radio offers a variety of stations with ready-made playlists to suit every musical taste.

If you prefer talk shows, Apple Podcasts offers shows and channels covering a wide range of topics. Some even offer subscriptions, allowing you to enjoy exclusive content and ad-free listening.

As part of its mission to bring you closer to wellbeing, the Apple Fitness+ app introduced two new features. Time to Run is an immersive, episodic audio experience featuring popular running routes in major cities, carefully selected workouts and motivational talks to help you achieve whatever fitness goal you set yourself. If you find running too strenuous, you can turn to Time to Walk, where artists, athletes and celebrities share stories and music to keep you company on every walk.

A new app that has already won hundreds of awards for many of its original series and films within just two years of its launch is Apple TV+. With new and improved features such as For All of You, Share Play and the redesigned Store tab, it helps you discover personalised recommendations, watch with family and friends, and keep all your series and films together in one place.

If you want to read books without having them take up space, Apple Books lets you read them digitally. Apple’s library includes over 8 million titles, some of which are even free. When reading gets tiring, you also have the option of listening to them. The brand-new Audiobook Store includes a wealth of popular and captivating works, as well as new curated collections such as Audiobook of the Week, making it easy to find your next favourite book.

Another innovative app from the company is Apple News+, the number one news app. With the Read Local feature, you can find the week’s best stories and news from local publications. Beyond the reports themselves, you can also take a look behind the scenes to see how they are covered by some of the world’s best professional journalists. You will also find hundreds of audio stories from publications such as New Yorker, People and National Geographic.

And when it is time for some fun, there is Apple Arcade, where children and adults alike can choose from over 200 family-friendly games, all without adverts or in-app purchases. The collection includes classic favourites as well as new titles added regularly, and can be shared with up to 5 family members through a single all-inclusive subscription.

You can enjoy all these services and many more through a single Apple One subscription. With a range of tailored plans for every subscriber, whether individual or family, you will have instant access to the best entertainment experiences, games, news and wellbeing programmes.
