Our favorite releases this week
Pencil Pro – FREE
The Apple Pencil 2 is one of the best first party accessories for different models of the iPad and iPad Pro, but it does seem limited in functionality out of the box.
Pencil Prolifts those limitations by enabling pairing of new Apple Pencils by simply magnetizing them to your iPad, and it also lets you use the Apple Pencil for what are normally finger-only gestures, such as opening Control Center, answering notifications, and more.
You can find out more about Pencil Pro and how it worksin our full review post.
ProfilePicker – FREE
TheProfilePickerjailbreak tweak is a new release that Netflix needs to take some notes on. After all, it fixes a problem that lots of users take an issue with.
It makes it so you don’t have to pick a Netflix user every time you launch the app on your iPhone, which is useful when you’re the only one who uses your device to watch content to begin with.
