Drones - those remotely-piloted multi-rotor “copters” or airplanes that usually carry a camera - are becoming more and more popular, so there may be a good chance that you either have one or are thinking about buying one for the upcoming holidays. Whether you’re flying for pleasure or you’ve decided to take on a new job as a commercial drone pilot with an FAA Part 107 certificate, there are a number of apps available to Apple users to help you get in the air and hone your skills when you’re not flying. There are a lot of iOS apps for potential and existing drone pilots, but we’ll start off with some notable Mac apps. Microsoft has been working on a totally redesigned version of Outlook for Mac since last fall and the public release of the big update is slated for mid-October. (Zephyr Sim for Mac provides realistic drone flight conditions including weather.) Want to build and maintain flying skills without crashing an expensive drone? Zephyr Drone Simulator is a perfect way to keep your skills razor-sharp, even when conditions outside are keeping you grounded. This Mac (and Windows) app can be purchased as a standalone app (US$99.99), bundled with a controller with a USB input ($139.99), or used with any existing drone controller with a USB output ($109.99 with USB adapter). The app lets you switch between different drones and uses the flying characteristics of each. ![]() At this time, Zephyr Drone Simulator supports the DJI Phantom 3, Inspire 1, and Mavic Pro, 3DR Solo, Syma X5C, Autel X-Star, and Parrot Bebop 2 drones. 3.1 Setting Up Apple Mail In addition to these written instructions, there is a video 35 that demonstrates how to set up and train SpamSieve with Apple Mail. SpamSieve is already removing the spam from your Mac’s inbox, so the normal IMAP/Exchange synchronization will automatically remove the spam messages from the iPhone’s inbox as well. PS - Have you checked out Microsoft Outlook? It really is quite good also.While it’s fun to fly this as a game, it’s really set up as a training system with a complete learning management system built in. In most cases, you don’t have to do anything extra for SpamSieve to filter the spam on your iPhone. Still using Spark on iOS and Mac, I’m going to consider the subscription regardless of needing/wanting the new features, because folks have to generate revenue to maintain development. The one killer feature is the filter based smart inbox, however it doesn’t support matching text in the email itself, making it almost useless for me. I keep checking airmail to see if the overall design has hit the mark (spoiler, for me it hasn’t but it does keep improving. Helps avoid emailing using the wrong account and also ensures that I resist (as much as possible) the temptation (or accidental distraction) of checking work email outside business hours as much as possible. I’m hoping there’s some sort of workaround for the drone setup, e.g. ![]() I’m the type that I something is in the product, my mind always tells me that I need it.Ĭ) Apple Mail has come along quite a way, has the core feature set…īUT I use Apple Mail for my work email, as a result I like to keep my private email in a different app. I don’t have a Schedule option in my Tools menu, so I assume that even though my Outlook version number is 16 (2016 I’m pretty sure I have a more modern version of Office than that), it’s actually Office 365. ![]() I have to admit that my love for Spark has taken a step backwards with the latest release, why?Ī) Overall stability on iOS, app crashes and an odd issue where I reopen the app, if an email is open I get some basic headers but then the main message body is empty.ī) Subscription, I get they need to fund the project, that nothing was taken away and this is just to get new features, however Au$12.99 a month (annual sub $66 or $5.5 a month) just doesn’t translate to value for me, as I only use this for my personal email.
