MacOS Mojave First Impressions and Review
Today I updated my MacBook to the new Mojave OS. Now I haven't had much of a chance to use this new OS but I do have a first impression of what I've found.
For starters I do like having the option of the light or dark setting. At first when I downloaded the new OS during initial set up I was asked if I wanted to go light or dark. I of course being curious chose the dark setting, being that I've never before seen it. I tried it out for a moment or two then went into the system preferences to change it back to light.
Upon setting up your new OS you may want to go with the dark setting yourself to give it a try. I do recommend doing this to see if you like it. If not no worries I will tell you how to change it back. Simply go to your system preferences, choose general, and on the top row there will be an option for changing from light to dark and back again. Very simple to switch them back and forth.
Another new feature I like is the news app from iOS has made it over to MacOS. I do enjoy looking at breaking and trending news articles on my iPad and iPhone so I don't think it would be any different on my MacBook. This app is actually one of the first differences I noticed after the update.
Speaking of apps the App Store has finally gotten some love. The task bar is now located on the side and the featured app section is much smaller in my opinion. The layout seems easy enough to navigate and find what you're looking for. I am not overly excited about it but it does look cleaner and as I said easy enough to navigate.
I haven't tried the new FaceTime app but it is said that you can make multiple calls at once. I also can't speak for the desktop image changing as the day progresses. This was another rumor I have read but only time will tell on this one.
