What is best weather app for ipad
Best iPad Pro Widget Ever!
what is going on guys Nando place on
ether here with another video and today
we're gonna talk about my new favorite
widget for the iPad pro and it's called
usage so here we go so about two days
ago I was you know scrolling through
Twitter as one does and I came upon this
tweet right here which I'll put up on
the screen and it's by a guy named Andy
and he posted basically a screenshot of
his home screen and I saw this widget
which looked really really cool and I'm
I'm a I'm a nerd when it comes like
utility styled applications and widgets
and things like that like I was always a
person that had on their MacBook on the
toolbar had like a utilities banner that
showed you know how much CPU was being
used if any data was being transferred
things like that so when I saw this I
was like what is this went onto the App
Store found what usage was the first
thing it was free
absolutely for you guys and I actually
reached out to the owner slash creator
developer of the app usage he also said
that yes it's free there's absolutely
zero ads and there is one in app
purchase but I don't really see the need
for that you guys can play around with
it
it's a compare function but again the
actual application itself and all of its
power and everything that it does is
absolutely free so definitely try it out
guys but I definitely wanna I'm gonna
dive into and show you guys what it does
what it looks like and what the point of
it even is even though it is kind of a
stagnant widget just for things to look
at a glance I like it just because it
gives me more data on the iPad and
basically how it's running in real time
so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna share
my screen and show you guys exactly what
it is I'm gonna show you guys how to
download it how to set it up and put it
on your widget screen and then also how
to set up all the different types of
data that you can choose to show on the
widget screen by itself so let's hop
into it guys alright guys so for the
purpose of this video I actually removed
the usage widget from my widget screen
right now because I do want to walk you
guys through the entire process of how
to set it up so basically what we do is
go into your app store type in the app
usage it'll be the first one right there
and it's this little blue one with the
circle with the white blue circle and
this is what it is so usage itself it's
basically an app that shows all of your
hardware info and activity from
beginning to end so there's six I think
there's six or seven different
categories but the main features are
gives you
CPU activity graph so let's you know how
much of your CPU and internal power
you're using in real time which is
really really nice and then what I'm
gonna do here is just open it so I can
show you guys what it looks like so the
app itself is actually really really
nice it's big its colorful it lets you
know what's going on so in real time it
lets you know how much CPU you're using
how much memory you're using a memory
refers to Ram so it says the total 3.66
design with 3.9 3 gigabytes of RAM so
let's you know your memory allocation so
how much is active how much is inactive
how much is wired and how much is
absolutely free which means it's not
being touched whatsoever so as you can
see my memory usage is pretty high
overall but the only active portion of
it is at 36% which is nice
also gives you real-time stories this
one isn't as as crazy because you can
just go into your About section but it
is nice to kind of see it at a glance it
gives you how much storage you've used
which is how much is free and also the
total and then also this is really
really nice especially if you want a
limited data plan so this is kind of
less you know how much data you used
since rebooting the device so you can
you can either reset this manually
within the app itself or reboot the
device and then it restores and resets
itself also so shows how much data I've
used over Wi-Fi and it would tell me how
much data data I've used over LTE or 4G
or whatever the case may be if I did
have a sim activated or a data activated
iPad which I don't and then it also
shows you real-time networking activity
so I show you the graph of how much
network activity you have coming in and
also going out so whenever I'm uploading
a video you'll see that the sending is
through the roof because I'm trying to
send like a gigabyte or two gigabytes of
video file to YouTube so it shows that
the network activity is actually a
little bit higher and then lastly of
course the battery section this is the
one that we're gonna work on with the
actual developer himself and it
basically just shows you how much
battery life you have if you're charging
if you're on low-power mode and also the
type of battery that's in the device
itself and how many milliamp hours so
this way you know they have nine
thousand seven hundred twenty milliamp
hours technically if I bring a ten
thousand milliamp hour
or Bank I should be good for two
fullcycle charges so that gives you just
an idea and pretty much lets you know
exactly we have going on internally and
then the last little snippet is just
basically a very very short version of
the About section tells you the name of
the iPad what version of iOS or iPad OS
you're on and the last time the device
actually rebooted so this itself is
really really nice and then if you go to
the compares feature this is the actual
feature that is the paid in that version
so let basically if you have another
iPad or any other iOS device you can use
usage and then basically compare what
the batteries look like again how useful
is that to somebody else I don't really
know I haven't touched that and if you
can actually share the app on social
media and unlock that feature for a day
many other configurations basically this
lets you move around where you want each
different thing to be so if you want
battery all the way at the top you can
I'm gonna keep it where it is unless you
change the color as you can see down
here the colors change so the updates
going to add two new colors I believe I
like this light blue version that's just
who I am and then this is the actual
today's widget which we're gonna touch
on right about now so once you have the
app set up the way you want all you do
is you go scroll all the way down to the
widget section where it says edit then
go down to where it says usage will add
it and then since I really like usage
and I want it to be the second thing I
see I always want the weather to be the
first thing I see so I'm gonna put it
second then you press done then you
scroll up and then what you can see is
that here is the usage app right but
when you first download it this is what
it looks like it's basically four blank
boxes for you to choose which data set
you want to be shown on the widget set
right and then so basically the choose
you just tap on the tooth source will
click on CPU boom there's my CPU graph
right and again this is real-time
information and the graph shows you 50
seconds of real-time activity so that's
also really nice so the next one I'm
gonna choose is battery gotta see how
much battery I have so basically what
this means is how much better I have
this indicator means that it's charging
it's like currently am as you guys can
see on the top right and then this
little icon right here just would
indicate that you're in low power mode
or you're below 20% battery so when
that's lit up
you're below 20% basically notifying you
you got a charger your device a little
bit also what I like to do is add
network activity so it shows you how
many gigabytes are up and down and
receiving and then the last one I choose
is usually either storage or memory I'm
to go with memory because it shows you
exactly how much free RAM you have and
that's what we're looking at right now
so that is the widgets app in a nutshell
guys I really really like it I love all
this information at a glance I was
always a big fan of having it on the top
toolbar with in Mac OS so now what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna show you guys how
to use it within another application
because I saw that somebody commented
within within I think the review section
or maybe on Twitter that said hey this
app is great but I can't open it up when
I'm within another app and I can't see
how much like RAM or data is being used
because it's on my widget screen and
it's covered when an application is open
so the easy solution is just to hit it
with a slide over so here you'll be able
to see exactly what's going on so you
can see that there was a little spike
here because I am on Safari so it's a
little bit more the CPUs being used up
versus not at all right the interesting
part is that it does say that it has
eight cores here and I thought the 812 Z
was only I was supposed to have eight
cores and this one suppose to have seven
so probably physically it had eight
cores but only seven of them are active
but that's basically how you would run
it if you wanted to run it side-by-side
with something else so let's say if I
click on luma fusion pretty high
intensity app pull this up again and you
can see CPU is just through the roof
spiked up like crazy while I was loading
up the mom's rendering live you can see
that there's a little traction on the
bottom of the CPU so that is the usage
app in a nutshell guys really hope you
enjoy it and let's go back to the normal
view so hopefully you guys enjoyed that
top-down view of the iPad using the
usage app using the usage app but again
I really really like it it's free it
gives you a bunch of data that I really
enjoy that I really really like to see
at all times which in my case is battery
how much data is being used how much CPU
is being used at the time and also RAM
management which is huge for me
especially because my iPad is my main
computer and I want to make sure it
lasts as long as possible both like in
the moment and long term so just one
more thing to add on to the usage app
like I said I was speaking to the
developer yesterday and he told me there
is an update coming out tomorrow which
has a couple more colors so basically
just a little more because
zatia of the app itself and I asked if
there was a way to program the app to
let you know if the how fast the iPad is
charging right so if you guys saw I
showed you the actual iPad battery
portion which lets you know if it's
charging and if it's a low power mode
essentially right so I asked if there
was a way to indicate how many watts of
power is going into the iPad itself the
exact what is that the iPad is taking in
unfortunately they can't actually do
that with his application but what he is
trying to work on is designated whether
or not it's quick charging right so I
know that the iPad itself there's
nothing no marketing material no actual
info about a fast charging iPad pro
because at the end of the day does come
with that 18 watt break in the box in
that I would consider that in normal
charging but for an iPhone that's
considered fast charging right but the
iPad is capped at 30 watts of power
input so you could technically get a
faster charger a bigger watt it's a
charger and charge it faster so what I
talked to the developer of usage about
was being able to indicate that it is
fast charging maybe when it does hit
that 30 watt threshold maybe a little
indicator that says hey you're getting
maximum power input from whatever charge
you're using versus hey you're getting
regular or maybe you're using a 5 watt
charger that's charging it's super slow
and it'll tell you like hey this is not
charging fast enough while you're using
it just be aware that your battery's
still going to drain even though it's
quote-unquote charging so that's the one
thing that I'm hoping that he's gonna be
able to do he said he's gonna look into
it he said you probably will be able to
do some sort of indicator that lets you
know you're fast charging or normal
charging but again I like that and I
also love dealing with these kind of
creators because it's easy to
collaborate with them and let them know
like hey people want this maybe you
should get rid of this and they're more
than willing to listen to what I have to
say and what everybody else has to say
so highly recommend you guys try out
usage all it'll be the first link in the
description below absolutely free go
show him some love on Twitter as well
try out the app it's below it also works
for any iPhone and any iPad not just the
iPad pro and again highly recommend
trying it out guys it's free you got
nothing to lose but that's going to do
