It’s just one of the awesome ideas in this week’s Crowdfund Roundup. We also have a wireless charger for MacBook and MacBook Pro, a high-quality speaker that’s small enough to fit in your pocket, and the ultimate Apple Watch companion.
GarageBand for iOS often gets dismissed as a toy by more experienced musicians. That’s partly because it’s free, and partly because it looks so simple when you first fire it up. And it is dead easy to use — making some great music is simple even for a first timer. But if you take a while to dig in, you might be surprised at just how music power GarageBand for iOS now packs.
