    Shortcut to Log Workout Does Not Work

    I have crated a shortcut to make it easier, or more streamlined, to log a karate session as I can’t wear my Apple Watch during karate. I have made the simplest shortcut possible to just log a workout with “ask each time” set for the date, duration, and calories. The distance is untouched as that...

I'm not sure if this is related to iOS 17.5, or I just noticed it having installed the new update. It seems to...

    OK, so I bought my first ever Apple Watch

    It is a Series 7 45mm Starlight with sports loop. I have had it for 5 hours and I’m very happy with it. My head is spinning from how customisable it is and the various health features it has. Every hour goes by and I’m finding something else new and useful that it does and discovering it...

    iPhone Health App Redesign

    I am curious about your opinions. I've been using iOS 13 for 3 days and i am definitely not happy with the new design of health app. Everything is in tabs and it seems so messy. Really disappointed. I guess there will be an update to this design, it feels so unfinished.
