Apple has updated two small but nice apps.

apple tv remote app

First the Apple TV Remote App got an update. There is a new logo that now looks like the real remote control and the user interface has also been reworked a bit and now looks a bit cleaner. Since the update to iOS 12.2 this control can also be accessed via the Control Center Settings > Control Center, so that a separate app is no longer necessary. But sometimes it is faster to just tap on the app than to go via the Control Center.

apple shortcuts app

Function extensions have been added to the shortcut app: Now you can add actions with the Notes app. Furthermore you can extract numbers from existing texts and use them for actions and also the travel time gives more details. In addition, some bugs have been improved. This usually sounds like the usual blabla, but we are really happy about that. When the App shortcuts were introduced, we weren’t so excited about the stability, but it’s improved a lot since then.
