Acquired app turned into a free download by Apple,Software,Mobile Software,Applications ,Apple,iOS,Cloud Computing
Apple has acquired Workflow, a personal automation app first released in 2014 that can string together commands based on ‘recipes’ made-up by the user.
Workflow is designed to run on Apple’s iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and enables user to ‘cook up’ a variety of workflows for quickly carrying out a number of tasks, whether that is ordering an Uber taxi, creating GIFs or tweeting a song that they are listening to.
It’s tightly integrated with Apple’s notifications menu, and also allows users to export a workflow as a standalone app that sits on the home screen.
What’s more, the app, which is similar to IFTTT, won an Apple design award in 2015 at the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
In a rare move, Apple is keeping the Workflow app in the App Store and setting its price to free , having previously cost £1.
