Today, Canva is so much more than just graphic design. It’s a visual worksuite. So, in this post, I wanted to do a quick rundown of some of its latest updates and remind you to forget the rest, because Canva really is the best!

Note-taking apps are going through something of a renaissance right now. New ones are popping up all the time, while some of the more established options are finding a whole new fan base.

CarPlay is great when it works, but when it doesn’t there are few things more frustrating! Unfortunately, no single method is guaranteed to fix CarPlay when it doesn’t connect with your iPhone.
