Hello Fellow MacBook Users.

I am new to MacBooks, this is my 1st ever MacBook. It is the M3 Pro MacBook Pro Space Black Base Edition.

Ok, so the questions I have is about looking for some Apps. It is hard finding something Great Especially when you are new to something.

I am Studying Japanese. So what Apps would be good for learning another Language. I also have the Languages added to my Keyboard since I have been learning for a bit. I have fully learned Hiragana and Katakana as well as some Kanji. I am learning Kanji right now since I think it will help me reading.

Anyways, I would love to know what Apps are good for something like that.

Another App I am looking for is a Diary Type App. Something where I can go and write and write.

I was thinking about buying the App called IA Writer, but I think $50 is a lot. That said if the App is worth it I would be ok with getting it.

I am willing to buy the Apps if they are worth it and give the Ability ti do what you want without issues. The lower the better though.

P.S. Can be skipped. Just my opinion. Thanks Again!

Thank You!

P.S. I never imagined how amazing the MacBooks are. I had bought the Lenovo Legion i5 Pro which had a 1600p 240Hz Screen with a I7 13700HX and RTX 4070.

It was Powerful for Gaming, but even when using it sometimes often it would have Judder which made it feel like a Cheap Laptop. Gaming was Amazing, but I have a ROG ALLY for Portable Gaming and a PC I7 13700K RTX 4080 with Windows 11 Pro so I did not need another Windows Laptop. That said what personally to me the Battery was what was Baffling I got around 3 and a Half with turning off Discreet GPU, Brightness Down to 40%, HZ down to 60Hz and a couple more things.

In the listing from Best Buy it said up to 5 hours. I was How LOL. My M3 Pro MacBook Pro, damn is it something Amazing with how Fluid responsive and Battery blows anything away.

Not to mention it speaks really good with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, 12.9 iPad Pro M1, Apple 4KTV and Apple Watch Ultra Gen 1. Not to mention it is very easy to transfer Documents between Windows and Mac OS. I was able to get some Photos and TextBooks/Google Docs so easy.

I don’t think I will be able to switch to another Laptop. I just keep getting in Deeper into the Apple Eco-System and Rightfully So. It is something Amazing and people know it.

    I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of the laptop! Don’t mind the iditos that comment “didn’t read” instead of scrolling on. In any case, I see a lot of people using Anki. The YT channel here! learns japanese and also went through a Mac transition, so I hope you can find some useful tips there. Regarding the Diary App, with the next iOS version (17.2) Apple will release the Journal App, which should do something similar to what you are looking for. It hasn’t been confirmed yet but it may also be available on Mac. Day One is another one that a lot of people use, which is also available on Mac. Other than that there is also Obsidian and LogSeq, which can be used as a diary. They use normal files so could be encrypted while you’re not using them.
