1 1 New iOS and Android apps worth downloading.

Steam Link, the official streaming application of Steam rejected by Apple, finally landed in the App Store last week. Steam Link can "filter" PC-side games to iOS devices through local network streaming media, thus playing PC games on mobile devices.

The usage of Steam Link is very simple. First make sure that the PC and the iOS device are in the same network environment, and then you need to adapt the controller. You can choose to continue to use the handle operation, or you can choose to simulate the keyboard or handle operation through the touch of the mobile phone (there is a certain probability that you will vomit blood, so use it with caution). When the application recognizes the PC device with Steam turned on in the network environment, it will automatically turn on the PC's big screen mode and synchronize the screen to the mobile device, and then you can directly control Steam and the games in the library with your mobile phone.

Although Steam Link can make iOS devices play "masterpieces", the actual running end is still a local PC, so you can't expect to improve the game performance through Steam Link or completely get rid of the constraints of PC. In addition, the official suggestion is to connect in series in the 5GHz network environment. After my personal test, 2.4GHz can basically meet the demand, but occasionally there will be mosaic problems, both of which have the problem of degraded image quality, so if your iOS device is separated from your PC by a wall, you can try to make do with 2.4GHz.

Wallpaper applications have not been recommended for some time. This Pic Me seems to have attracted a wave of "bad reviews" just when it was put on the shelves last week, but after the experience, I think it is still "promising in the future". This wallpaper application has rich picture materials. The developer said that the pictures are all from the photo website Pexels, which is a little reassuring for us who have just experienced vision china's "coquettish operation".

Pic Me provides three categories: the latest, the popular and the color, among which the color category provides 1 1 common color categories. For users with obsessive-compulsive disorder of "photo album" with locked home screen, it is easier to form photo album by screening wallpaper materials by color classification, without having to choose one by one. In addition to color classification, the application also supports filtering wallpaper materials by Chinese and English keywords, but the results obtained in Chinese and English are quite different, and Chinese labels will be more abundant. It is suggested that developers can optimize later.

At present, there are two main problems in the application, one is frequent flashback, and the other is that the picture loading time is long, which really affects the user experience. Developers' responses to these two questions are being optimized. In addition, it is suggested that Pic Me can change the current picture definition option to clipping function for iOS devices, so that the downloaded wallpaper can be used directly without further adjustment when setting, which is expected to further enhance the user experience.

As a completely free scanning tool, the handheld scanner has done a good job in scanning speed and automatic recognition, and the application also supports basic editing functions such as cutting, rotating and moving. What's even more surprising is that the handheld scanner supports OCR text recognition function, and several test results are satisfactory. It is absolutely enough to recognize the characters in the picture every day.

No matter how well the mobile phone is made, it seems to me that the default wallpaper loaded with artistic atmosphere for each generation of one plus mobile phone is the first echelon of similar wallpaper. If you also like the wallpaper style of one plus mobile phone, or are looking for some new wallpapers to taste recently, you may wish to try the wallpaper application Abstruct launched by Hampus Olsson, the designer of one plus mobile phone wallpaper.

All the wallpapers in ABSTRACT were created by Hampus Olson himself. Although the types of wallpaper are mainly abstract geometric figures, their styles are still varied. Because of this, Abstruct has eight sets of optional wallpaper packages built in, among which the author's selected works, one plus official wallpaper collection, AOSPA official wallpaper collection and digital painting style package can be used for free, and the other four sets need to be purchased internally for 1.99 USD to unlock.

Whether these wallpapers look good or not is a matter of opinion. If you think the wallpaper that comes with your mobile phone is pleasing to the eye, it is naturally very cost-effective to have more than 300 wallpaper of the same style for 1.99 dollars. In addition, the design of the Abstruct application itself is also excellent, and the experience of browsing and setting wallpaper is not only eye-catching, but also very smooth.

Finally, the wallpaper provided by Abstruct is 4K resolution, which can be easily satisfied by even the best Android models on the market.

If you have been exposed to Android beautification, or more accurately, if you have tried most of the iconic packages in the app store like me, you will be familiar with Meeye.

As an older third-party icon package on the Android platform, Meeye is sought after by many users because of its visual style that combines the icon features of MeeGo system and modern design details, and its icon coverage is unambiguous, which is applicable to both domestic and foreign daily applications. Generally speaking, Meeye is one of the first choices for users who like Fiona Fang-shaped icons.

This time, the Meeye is flat launched on the developer's page leveled the previous Meeye at once, without the overall saturated texture of the original Meeye icon and the shadow of the icon body. The style is actually quite similar to the OneUI system icon that was popular some time ago. However, after careful comparison, it is not difficult to find that because of the good foundation of Meeye, this icon package of Meeye is flat, with less "candy flavor" and less plastic texture in color matching than OneUI. I even think this icon package is more suitable as the default icon of OneUI.

Of course, all the above are personal opinions, and the icon package is actually the same as the wallpaper above. At present, Meeye has adapted to 500+ icons. This aspect shows that developers have no intention of simply publishing Meeye's 2500+ icon flat. On the other hand, with the word-of-mouth endorsement of Meeye, I believe that the coverage of this plane icon will gradually be full in the future.

Speaking of cameras, most people think that the camera is started in full screen, and then a good-looking photo is taken seriously. If the camera can be started with a floating window of any size, and it won't interfere with other functions of our mobile phone when running, what will you do with it?

Recently, the cool window camera has provided us with such a possibility. The window camera adopts the popular material design 2 design style. With the help of the floating window function, it can enable us to start the camera application with any window size, support taking photos and recording, and indicate the camera status through the line color of the window border of the floating window.

More importantly, in addition to simple window size settings, the window camera also provides many custom settings. If you want to use this app to read novels while walking, you might as well turn on the window camera, and then set the camera window to be translucent and "not responding to touch events", so that you can pay attention to the road conditions while paying attention to the screen content.

In addition, the window camera not only supports the mode switching of taking pictures and recording, but also supports the front and rear cameras. In other words, besides the examples mentioned above, you can also take selfies. More ways to play, or to explore and explore.

I grew up tired of keeping a diary, probably because the first time I wrote a diary was not spontaneous, but because the teacher assigned it as homework. Of course, I believe many friends still keep a diary after work, which is really a very good habit. If you don't keep a diary manually, you may choose a diary application like Day One. Electronic diary can record more types of information, which is more convenient to search and realize long-term retention of content.

Diary email is a unique diary service. You don't need to register an account to use it, but you can write an email directly and send it to private@diaryemail.com address. If you want to check your diary, log in to the diary email website with your email address. If you want to share your diary, diary mail supports inviting multiple friends. Access control is also flexible. Only your diary sent to friends@diaryemail.com address can be seen by your friends.

As I don't keep a diary myself, I'm not sure whether the diary mailbox really conforms to the usage habit. In fact, because the diary mailbox is based on Web and mail service, you can even use it as a cloud notepad or post-reading tool. Of course, readers who insist on keeping a diary are advised to try it here.

Remove. BG is a service that uses deep learning matting. After the Photoshop plug-in was launched some time ago, a new cross-platform desktop client is now launched. Compared with the web version, the biggest feature of the desktop client is the batch processing of pictures.

To use it, you need to download and delete it. BG client first, and then apply for a free API KEY in official website. It is worth noting that the free API key can only be called 50 times a month, and only small-sized pictures are supported. For the use of large size and high frequency, you need to pay by volume.

Remove. BG is my personal favorite service, and the effect is very good. One of the most common applications is to change the background of photos. It only takes a few seconds to use the web tool provided by REMOVE. BG takes photos of any background.

Perculia is a Bluetooth assistant tool recently put on the shelves by LightScreen developers. It allows you to link a specific Bluetooth device in the menu bar with one click, which is a bit like the tooth fairy we introduced before. However, Perculia does not support setting a separate shortcut key for each Bluetooth device like the latter. The developer said that if there is a great demand from users in the future, they will consider adding this function.

In addition to the one-click connection function, Perculia also supports creating icons for each Bluetooth device in the menu bar, so that you can see the remaining power of the device at a glance. The low battery reminder function also allows you to charge the equipment in time to prevent the equipment from running out of power and affecting the work. Perculia can be downloaded from the Mac App Store, and the application is completely free.

MCast is a serious macOS podcast application launched by domestic developer @, which supports basic functions such as searching, playing, notifying new programs and watching popular podcasts. You can also control the playback of mCast through the media button on the keyboard.

At present, the function of mCast is relatively simple, and it does not support common functions such as account synchronization and download. If you don't have much demand for synchronization, as one of the few podcast applications on the macOS platform, mCast is still worth a try. MCast can be downloaded from the Mac App Store at the application price of 12 yuan.

Easy PDF can be said to be an online version of the PDF utility Toolbox, which supports PDF format conversion functions in common formats such as Word, Excel, PPT and JPG. You can also find more complex functions in Easy PDF, such as PDF compression and OCR text recognition. Although these functions are certainly not as effective as professional PDF applications, they are free, platform-free and "run after use", which is very suitable for users who have little demand for PDF editing but occasionally need to solve related problems.
