The best apps to read and annotate PDF books on iPad

PDF Read Annotate iPad Apps

One of the best things about electronic books and textbooks is that you can mark them up. Rather than a physical book that you rent or buy and want to sell later, with books on your iPad, you can make notes and highlight important points. Plus, you can read wherever you go with your device.

Here are the best apps to read and annotate PDF books on iPad.

Adjust each of your iPhone’s various volume levels independently with SmartVolumeMixer

At first glance, it might seem like your iPhone has just one volume control that you can change with the volume buttons at the side of the handset, but there are actually nine different volume controls present on your handset.

It can be challenging to discern which volume control you’re adjusting when you press your device’s volume buttons, and so iOS developer midkin just launched a new jailbreak tweak called SmartVolumeMixer to make life a bit easier in this department.

Review: Willgoo case keeps your Apple Pencil charged and its accessories within easy reach

I'm always forgetting to charge my Apple Pencil in a timely fashion, which can be annoying when I'm out and about without any dongles or cables. And because of its design, I refrain from stowing the Apple stylus in my bag or backpack out of fear it might break without any protection. Apple's leather case and others I've tried weren't very helpful. But Willgoo's handy stylus carrying box with a built-in battery has solved my Pencil woes in one fell swoop.

Hackers demonstrate 0-day exploit on iOS 12.1 at recent Tokyo-based Pwn2Own contest

Despite the absurd amounts of time and money that Apple pours into security efforts to make iOS one of the most secure mobile operating systems available today, it seems that even iOS 12.1, the latest publicly-available firmware version on the iPhone and iPad, isn’t entirely hack-proof.

At the recent Pwn2Own contest in Tokyo, Richard Zhu and Amat Cama, a duo of white hat hackers, reportedly harnessed the power of a powerful Safari-based 0-day exploit to recover a photograph that was recently deleted from an iPhone X’s native Photos app.

Lace 2 provides jailbreakers with more control over the Lock screen

The Lock screen has come a long way in many of the most recent iterations of iOS. Instead of just being a place to tell the time and view your missed notifications, the Lock screen has become a hub for everything that matters, including app-centric widgets that can help you discern important information at a glance.

Depending on how much you utilize these aspects of your iOS device’s Lock screen, a new free jailbreak tweak called Lace 2 by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson can help you take better advantage of it all.

Editing an entire video on iPad Pro

YouTuber Jonathan Morrison has taken it upon himself to edit an entire video on his new iPad Pro. He went in skeptical but came pleasantly surprised by the powerful combination of the unreal A12X Bionic processor and the excellent LumaFusion app.

This tweak removes ads from Facebook Stories, in-app videos, and more

If you use the Facebook app on your iPhone or iPad, then you probably noticed that the social platform has started injecting advertisements in everything you do, from watching videos to perusing Stories, etc.

Advertisements are a necessary evil because they help drive revenue, but too many in one place tend to become a nuisance for the end user. With that in mind, iOS developer Rishanan created a new jailbreak tweak called FacebookAdBlocker that aims to revitalize your Facebook experience.
