Episode Details

This week on AppStories, John and Federico kick off the app swap challenge, with each of them giving the other three apps to use. We’ll be checking in on how it’s going each week with a final roundup of the results of the experiment after WWDC.

On AppStories+, we each pick aspirational apps and OS features that we wish we used more but don’t.

Also available on YouTube here.
