My Top 6 iPad mini Apps | Digital Minimalism

[@r0_bot.]

Hey Nick! Coming back to the video to thank you for the Dudel Draw recommendation. I'm absolutely hooked on Dudel Draw now! I've been trying to draw everyday, but it always came down to a point that I had no idea on what to draw. Now a have a blob of colour to work with every day and it became a drawing addiction at this point. So thank you for making this video!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad you’re enjoying!! Pinning this so hopefully others will find it useful too 😄

[@prawn5148]

Do you have a link or something? For me doodle draw has no daylie Shapes. It is only a blank draw…

[@prawn5148]

Auch sry Dudle Draw… :).

[@NicholasGarofola]

I'm 30 tomorrow.... 🎂 You’re all amazing, thank you for the kind words and continued support. ✌🏻✏️

[@silentdingo29]

Happy birthday Nick! 🎉

[@MrLoipurz]

We’re the same ageeee ❤

[@J0S3PH_56]

Happy birthday! As I get older, I start to dread birthdays as existentialism creeps in. I’m starting to realize that getting older is a privilege not everyone gets. I’ve grown to be content and happy to turn 30 next year instead of scared.

[@RagingHamster8330]

Happy Birthday!

Minimalist Hozier staring deep into my soul wasn`t something I was expecting this sunday... Another great video man! Also, happy bday. God bless you!

[@NicholasGarofola]

@@bertinibb thank you brother!!! Happy Sunday 😄

[@jats_jemusu]

minimalist hozier 😂😂😂😂😂

[@syneresis]

when reading on the app, you can reduce the intensity of bright colors (and the screen itself) by going to settings > accessibility > reduce white point. this with a matte screen protector on is amazing.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Oooh good to know

[@IOSALive]

Nicholas Garofola, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

[@stevejones2347]

Dudel Draw looks very appealing, also FTL, and in fairness your previous iPad apps videos haven’t disappointed so I’ll be sure to check them out. Great video as always, and many happy returns on your birthday tomorrow!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much!! Dudel draw is just really, really simple and silly. FTL is very difficult but addicting 😅

[@bullivan10]

Can you do a home tour sometime in the future? i would love to see how you take advantage of space using the concept of minimalism and essentialism, i believe this would be of help to a lot of us on the same journey in terms decor inspo and the need to keeping things simple.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Maybe one day I can touch on this!

[@jnog_me]

Thanks for the recommendations! Loving Forest and Dudel!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@jacetendo]

I bought an ipad mini about 4 months ago because of you. I used to have an iPad but never used it because of its size, found it too big and inconvenient. I honestly have never loved a purchase so much!! Thank you so much for “influencing” me!

[@NicholasGarofola]

😂 I hope you’re enjoying it!!

[@aprilloro7455]

Happy birthday, Nicholas!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you!!

[@omarashraf27]

I'm really glad you found solves. I've been using it for a long time and it's really cool. The animations are something else

[@NicholasGarofola]

Solves is perfect

[@omarashraf27]

[@fatine7290]

Omg it's my first time watching one of your videos and I thought you had a stroke with that long pause ! I had to check the comments to know if you're okay or not

[@NicholasGarofola]

Welcome and welcome to the inside jokes of the channel

[@fatine7290]

@@NicholasGarofola lmao thanks

[@scavenger1362]

I’m finally on the iPad mini band wagon. I’ll check out the dudel draw app. I don’t have paper like on it yet.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Dudel draw is worth messing around on for sure, paperlike is realllllly nice if you draw a lot on iPad

[@ASplashOfJer]

Ever considered the Libby app? It’s great to use if you’re looking to read and have a library card! Cheers 🤙 Happy Birthday 🎉

[@NicholasGarofola]

I heard of it I’ll have to check it out!

[@Whigu]

I have bought Forest but only used it day or two and then forget it... I have tried to use it again but it always day and then I stop using it.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Really? I could see that. Having the widget on the homepage really helps me use it more

[@DigiDriftZone]

I’m using the native calculator app on my mini (beta) and it’s great, Apple did it right.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Good to know!

[@drval]

Have you looked at the new Math Function in iPadOS 18? I’m very excited about it.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I’ve seen it, looking forward to the update!

[@sabrina.1011]

Happy Birthday Nick!! 🥳🎂

I’m so excited to get a mini because of your videos. Just waiting it out in case there will be an update this September 😅

[@NicholasGarofola]

We’ll see what happens!

[@erickdiaz7954]

Nicholas hi, sorry, i have a question, since I´ve been following you, you are a super user and fan of the ipad mini, (i have one for myself too), but, i have been experienced overheat when im usign the apple notes app whith the pencil, is normal to you too? everytime im using the app., writing, or done some financing, the ipad is overheat spècially from one side (i think from de long side of the ipad, where is the apple pencil magnets), thanks,

[@Merryyy203]

I keep thinking about getting an e-reader that is not Kindle (I try to avoid using Amazon) because I want something easier on my eyes, even though I got Paperlike on the tablet. At the same time I do spend a million hours on the computer anyway, so what is the problem? :D You can use the dark theme so it is not too bright, reduce white point and all of that. Forest

[@NicholasGarofola]

Yes! E-readers with that paper looking texture feels really good on the eyes. And dark mode does help as well 😄

[@amalpv.8595]

Will you upgrade your ipad mini next year?

[@achapa739]

New subscriber!!! Great content. 🎉Happy Birthday 🎂 🎉

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you!!

[@ashbear2107]

the staring got more intense every time tho! haha thanks, i still rocking my ipad mini 6!

[@hibiscusbisque3320]

I remember reading some response you made to a comment about the length of your pauses and I thought you were kidding about it Edit: Happy birthday!! 🎉 Good job existing 😊

[@aliciaannewoodward]

Nick, this is a weird question, but is it possible I was your 8th grade language arts teacher? I taught at middle schools in Tallahassee, Avon Park and Altamonte Springs. Thirty may put you a little too young, but you sure seem familiar! Happy Birthday! (PS Love your channel!)

[@NicholasGarofola]

Hi! I never lived in any of those areas, went to middle school way south of all of those cities. But thank you for the kind words!!

[@Cold_FP]

FTL mention!

[@chartreusewinds]

nice video $10 for FTL is a really great deal, please don't do denigrate the work of game devs like this... especially when you recommend a $4 app that probably took 1/1000th of the dev time of FTL... (a fair price for that app, just pointing out how cheap FTL is for such a deep game)

[@ukayrak]

What game is that at 6:48?

[@NicholasGarofola]

Call of duty mobile

[@ukayrak]

@@NicholasGarofola thank you

[@JasonCasey-mm2zc]

[@majecha]

FTL is a great game!

[@NicholasGarofola]

It really is!!

[@X0MT0X]

I like the iPad Mini a great deal, although I avoid free apps (unless from Apple & Google) as the devs need to make money somehow and "If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold."

[@Sub2pixel-e]

Will u buy the mini7 when it’s release?

[@Jimmyfly215]

brother, i hope Apple gifts you an iPad mini 7 when it drops. you have the best reviews of this ipad.

[@NicholasGarofola]

That’d be nice 😅 thanks so much!

[@JameyKing.]

That long pause had my ass rewinding and starting the video. I thought I was trippin lol

[@Mileko-fv5pb]

Happy Birthday!!! Love the pause. A blink in a half and a quick nose wiggle. Love it and the video as well. I think I’m actually going to get an iPad mini

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you!!

I definitely missed 10 chapters of lore from last time I watched your channel because the camera stare caught me off guard

Clean the screen of your iPad before making the video because it is gross.
