Rawpodcast - Ep5 - Apps we can't do without

Hi folks and welcome back to the Raw Podcast!
For episode 5 we decided to meet in Ikea. Dave needed to sort out a Kitchen and Paul never misses an opportunity for some Swedish meatballs.

So we meet in the canteen over coffee and said meatballs and decided to record our latest episode there and then.

Topics covered this week are….
The new Fuji 23mm F2. Dave is excited about this as it’s a quite similar to the 23 1.4 that he has but much smaller with a quicker autofocus. It’s also water resistant. Ireland is a wet place. Bonus.

Paul is excited about the new Apple Watch and iPhone launch that will take place on the 7th September. More of that in the next episode for sure.

For this weeks main topic of conversation we are discussing what applications we could not do without. So, drumroll.

A couple of notable exceptions that we totally forgot about.
Paul loves this weather app on his iPhone called Dark Sky. It’s not available on Android (at least not in Ireland). Gives you rain notifications that are accurate almost to the minute.

Another app that really should have been mentioned is Sync Folders Pro. Dave uses this for backups. There are a ton of various sync options if you want to tweak things to your liking but basically Dave likes to clone his drives. When it comes to keeping your images backing up is probably the number one priority out there so if this is the one thing your not doing yet then you need to get on it.
