In this podcast, Thomas Domville introduces us to AdGuard Pro for iOS. AdGuard Pro is More than just ad blocking in Safari! It’s the most effective adblock browser plugin with data tracking prevention. With AdGuard Pro you can select different DNS service providers, which opens new possibilities: faster and more reliable internet access both for Wi-Fi and cellular connections, parental control, protection from phishing and malware and shielding your DNS traffic against interception and snooping. Add to this the Privacy module that detects trackers in real time and lets you decide which to block and which to let through. And all this on top of the excellent ad blocking in Safari, which has already proven to be of an unrivaled quality by the free AdGuard for iOS version. ‎AdGuard Pro — adblock on the App Store https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adguard-pro-adblock/id1126386264?mt=8

<p>In this podcast, Holly gives us a demonstration of <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blindfold-doggy/id1435160109?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D8&at=11l4LS">Blindfold Doggy</a>, a dog ownership simulation game for iOS.</p><p>Description from the App Store:</p><blockquote><p>After learning the sounds your dog makes when he needs something, you must take care of your dog: feed him, walk him, give him water, brush him and play with him.</p><p>For example, to walk your dog, put on his collar and leash, open the door and start walking: swipe down with one finger. Each down swipe takes you one step further from home. Each up swipe takes you one step closer to home. When you leave the house for a walk, the front door automatically closes behind you. To go back inside, walk back to the door and open it. Make sure you close the door, or your dog may run away.</p><p>Once you've mastered taking care of one dog, try taking care of two. It's much harder!</p><p>Then try the adventure game - go shopping for new toys and food, and take your dog to the veterinarian for routine checkups.</p><p>The game comes with limited play before you run out of food. To get unlimited play, or other options, use the in-app upgrades.</p></blockquote>

<p>In this episode, Chris Wright shows us how to quickly restart an iOS device with the Assistive Touch Accessibility feature.</p><p>Assistive Touch is a feature of iOS and iPadOS that allows you to perform a variety of common tasks from one centralized menu, or map tasks to specific gestures. Intended primarily for people who are not able to easily interact with hardware buttons, it can also be helpful if you can't see the screen and need to quickly restart your device, which might otherwise require you to guess the precise button release time.</p><p>It can be turned on by going to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch, and toggling it on. By default, it appears as a menu that's constantly visible onscreen; double-tap this menu and select the task you want to perform. You can also configure a custom action as demonstrated in the episode, where a "single tap" (double-tap for VoiceOver users) of the Assistive Touch menu would initiate a device restart instead of revealing the menu.</p>
