Welcome to #290 – a note from the editor

Hello and welcome to a very Wintery issue of Swipe magazine.

As usual, we’ve got our latest roundup of handy apps to help you prep for Christmas – this year, we have a whopping 28 recommendations to keep the festive season stress-free. But we’ve also got a Winter Safety feature that outlines a few ways your iPhone can help you stay safe when the weather takes a turn. Be sensible out there folks.

Elsewhere, we’re wondering why it sometimes takes Apple so long to port their own apps to their own devices, and also how to cut down on social media ‘doom scrolling’ without throwing your phone in the trash.

You’ll also find a guide to the new animation suite, Procreate Dreams, and a look back at one of our favorite strategy-in-space games, Galcon.

All that and more in this latest edition. Enjoy!
