From the Cornish Soundboard to WWDC in California

19th April 2025 by Jacob Woolcock

In 2011 I was sat at home watching The Apprentice UK and the task was to design a Soundboard app to sell on the App Store.

I watched in horror as the candidates inevitably messed it up and thought to myself “I could do better than this!”.

I’d never coded an app before, but decided in that moment that I wanted to learn. I bought my first Apple Developer Program membership in order to download Xcode and started writing my first lines of iOS code.

Cornish Soundboard

Building my first app took many months of learning, trial and error, searching Stack Overflow for help and getting very frustrated at the smallest problems – but it felt so rewarding when things worked and eventually my simple little app started to take shape.

In August 2011 I launched the Cornish Soundboard on the App Store. Featuring Cornish friends and family members sharing some of their favourite local phrases, the app was a bit of fun and a way for me to learn how to code in Objective C.

Over the years the app found an audience in Cornwall (as well as further afield) and was downloaded nearly 25,000 times!

This fun little project that I’d been tinkering away with on my laptop had taken on a life of its own and it got me thinking about what to build next.

Soundcheck South West

I took this excitement and started working on my next app, which was to be a way to discover live music in Cornwall. Originally Concerts in Cornwall, over time the app grew to cover the whole south west of England under the name Soundcheck.

This became a real passion project and took many years to get to a stage where I was finally happy with it, eventually launching in 2018. Unfortunately, that app didn’t find the same audience that my first one did, despite being far more useful, nicely designed and technically impressive (in my opinion!).

I’ve dabbled with other apps and ideas in the years since, but finding time to properly commit to any of them recently has been tricky whilst teaching and now creating YouTube videos too.

But that hasn’t lessened my passion for coding, whether that be teaching my students or just getting excited about the latest and greatest developments in my own time.

WWDC

Since 2011 I’ve eagerly watched every June as Apple unveils their new software, operating systems and SDKs at their Worldwide Developer Conference – WWDC.

Every time I’ve dreamt of going to be there in person, to learn from the experts and share that sense of excitement with the wider community. Consequently each year I applied for tickets in the random lottery, but was never successful.

That was until last week when this email arrived in my inbox…

I’m thrilled to share that I received the news I’ve been dreaming of for the last 14 years – an invitation to WWDC in California. For the first time I’ll be able to learn about this years software updates from the people who made them, right in the centre of the action at Apple Park.

I’m excited to see what could be announced. Perhaps new apps or tools that could benefit teachers and learners in the classroom? New system features which developers can embrace across their apps? And of course the latest and greatest features for everyone to use on their Apple devices.

Whatever WWDC25 brings I can’t wait to be truly inspired and to bring all of those ideas back with me to channel into QuickTips, my teaching and hopefully even some more app development in the future.

Now, this wouldn’t be a WWDC blog post without a few random predictions from the author, so in the spirit of all of the similar blogs I’ve jealously read over the years here are four predictions which I’d like to see happen this year…

1) A cross-platform redesign. The big rumour this year is for a more visionOS style interface to be bought to iOS, iPadOS, macOS etc. This could mean brighter, almost glass like elements and more 3D depth to what you see on screen. A refresh like this could make the different platforms feel fresh and exciting, as long as it doesn’t come at the cost of usability and accessibility.

2) More power to the iPad. The iPad hardware is incredibly powerful and quite frankly feels capable of a lot more than it’s currently being used for. In recent years we’ve seen more apps like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro come to iPad but there are still operating system level features which would make the device so much more powerful. Running apps in the background would be a good start here, as would a more powerful Files app like we have on the Mac. I’m hoping this is the year the iPad takes a big leap forward.

3) A new naming convention. If the interfaces and designs are going to be bought closer together this year, I’d like to see the same happen to the names. It’s increasingly hard to keep track of iOS 18, watchOS 11, macOS 15 and visionOS 2 when they all have different version numbers! I’m hoping that this year will bring something a little simpler by unifying the names around a theme (perhaps an animal, location or constellation?) – imagine iOS Phoenix, macOS Phoenix, visionOS Phoenix etc, etc.

4) A dedicated Memoji app. Recording Memoji for my videos in 30 second chunks in the Messages app is far from ideal. There is so much scope for a really fun app here (in my head it’s called Memoji Studio) which could use Apple Intelligence and the existing Memoji technology to supercharge your animated persona. Let us create full person animations rather than just faces, let us customise objects the Memoji interacts with, the background – the list can go on and on. Every year I hope for this and every year I’m sad when it doesn’t happen. I don’t have much hope for this one, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I’ll share some of my experiences at WWDC after the conference and can’t wait to share a whole new suite of QuickTip videos when the software is officially released later in the year. Going to California feels like such an adventure and I can’t wait to see what Apple Park is like in person!

Speaking of which, I’ll be out in California for a few days around the WWDC keynote itself so if you’re reading this and you’re also going to be in town please do reach out so we can grab a coffee. You can email me here.

500 QuickTips and Counting!

18th February 202517th February 2025 by Jacob Woolcock

Today I’m celebrating a huge milestone: I’ve just created my 500th QuickTip video! When I first started making these bite-sized tutorials I never imagined I’d reach this number, but here we are. It’s been an incredible journey and I want to take a moment to reflect on the achievement and most importantly to thank you for being part of it.

500 Videos

Over the past five years I’ve covered everything from hidden iPhone features to iPad productivity tricks and countless tools to support teachers in the classroom. Here’s a little breakdown of where those 500 videos have gone:

149 QuickTips for

iPad

325 QuickTips for

iPhone

26 QuickTips for

Mac

That’s a lot of QuickTips!

The Numbers So Far

Looking back, I’m thrilled by how much these videos have helped people. The numbers are beyond anything I expected when I first started 5 years ago – for instance my videos have been seen by over 9 million people, which equates to a staggering 19 years worth of time people have spent watching and learning!

It’s humbling to know that so many people have found my tips useful. Whether you’ve watched one video or hundreds, your support, comments and messages of appreciation have kept me going.

A Huge Thank You

Creating 500 videos has taken a lot of work, but it’s been worth every second. The best part? Knowing that these tips are making a real difference, helping people make the most of their iPhones and iPads. So, thank you for watching, subscribing, sharing, and supporting the channel – it truly means the world.

What's Next?

500 videos down, but of course I’m not stopping here! There are always new features to explore, hidden tricks to uncover and better ways to help you get the most from your Apple devices. I can’t wait to see where the next 500 take us!

Here’s to more QuickTips, more learning and more tech made simple and friendly. Thank you for being part of the journey!

Meeting Tim Cook and HRH King Charles III

15th December 2024 by Jacob Woolcock

A few weeks ago I was one of six Apple Distinguished Educators who were contacted by Apple, inviting us to join them at Battersea Power Station for the afternoon. We weren’t told any more than that, in fact we weren’t even told which other ADEs were invited, but it sounded intriguing enough to say yes to and to make plans to be in London for the day.

Shortly before the event itself we learnt more details – namely that we were one of four groups of people who had been invited as guests to represent different organisations which Apple works with in the UK and that we should be prepared to speak to some key people during the afternoon. Just hours before we arrived in London we learnt that those key people included Tim Cook and HRH King Charles III. To say I was shocked would be an understatement!

After a minor existential crisis on the way to London (was I really about to meet the King and a man who has inspired me through his work with Apple for over a decade?!) and multiple panics about whether or not I’d packed smart enough clothes for such an occasion, it was a relief to meet my fellow ADEs. A coffee and catch-up with Zainab, Ruth, Laura, Kerry and Tim helped ease the nerves and before long it was time to head to Apple’s UK headquarters inside Battersea.

From here on it was all a bit of a blur, but the team at Apple were incredibly kind and friendly, ensuring we were all in the right place at the right time. The six of us were grouped together in a prime position, and staff were in place to direct the special guests over to our group for a brief conversation. We didn’t know how much interaction to expect from either of the VIPs, but when they arrived at our station Tim introduced us by saying to the King by saying “Apple Distinguished Educators are educators that we hold up in high esteem because they’re transforming education using some of our technologies.”

After such a warm introduction the King shook hands with a few of us and spoke briefly about where in the country we’d come from. He spoke with several of us, learning a little more about who we were. As the former Duke of Cornwall he was interested to know more about where in Cornwall I was from and when I mentioned Hayle we ended up chatting briefly about the Cornish Chough project at Paradise Park in Hayle, of which he was a major supporter.

As quickly as the moment had come it passed as the group of VIPs moved further down the atrium of Apple Battersea to meet the next group of invited guests and we were left to process what had just happened. A brief scramble to get some photos that nearby people took of the encounter followed by grabbing out coats and heading outside for one more surprise.

As we were led around the front of Battersea Power Station we were treated to a special concert from RAYE, who played a lovely set of Christmas classics alongside some of her own tunes. The concert was made even more special by seeing the festive artwork of students from nearby St. George’s Primary School projected onto the side of the building.

The whole experience was incredibly surreal, but something I don’t think any of us will ever forget. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been chosen as one of the six Apple Distinguished Educators to chosen to represent our community for this occasion, a real honour given how many incredibly talented educators there are in the country.

I hope this post gives a little more context to the meeting and how the day unfolded – but I also hope it’ll serve as a reminder for me in the future that if you work hard and embrace opportunities that arise (no matter how vague they are!), good things may be waiting just around the corner for you.

2022 on YouTube: A Reflection

31st December 202231st December 2022 by Jacob Woolcock

Introduction

I’ve come close to writing a blog post like this for the past few years. The end of December rolls around and I realise it would be the perfect moment to step back from creating YouTube videos and reflect. And yet, for whatever reason, I haven’t done it until now.

That changes today.

In this blog post I’ll attempt to do a ‘Spotify Wrapped’ style look at my channel, sharing lots of numbers and stats (I love a good graph!), things that worked well, things that didn’t go quite as I’d hoped and plans for the future.

When I first started out making videos for YouTube in August 2019 I used to love reading posts like this to learn everything I could and to motivate myself to keep going even though my latest video only had half a dozen views. Having read so many posts like that myself it feels only right that I should contribute one back into the world.

And who knows, perhaps this will start an annual tradition and encourage me to take another look back in December 2023…

2022 Headlines

Creating Videos

In the last year I have published a total of 139 videos. This includes 44 videos released alongside iOS 16 and 27 videos released at the same time as the Freeform app.

One big discovery for me this year was the realisation that there are two types of videos on my YouTube channel. There are ‘evergreen‘ ones that will still get many thousands of views years after posting and there are ‘trending topics‘ where videos will get an initial surge of views and then they’ll slowly taper off. These two types both unfold very differently, but both with equal success. A trending topic video can enjoy a large amount of views for the first few days or weeks before slowing right down (i.e. straight after iOS 16 is released and people want to learn how to do X or Y immediately).

These videos require planning and research to make sure they are released at the perfect time. Too early and it’ll get lost in YouTube as nobody is searching for it, too late and the trend will have peaked and viewers will already be moving onto something new. Whilst this is tricky, the reward is high as there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a video you’ve just released suddenly getting thousands of views an hour. I’ve found Google Trends to be a big help for researching these trending topics, along with my own knowledge, experiences and time spent on places like Twitter and Reddit learning about what’s getting people excited with their technology at the moment.

An example of a Trending Topic video came in October when a popular iOS developer I follow on Twitter, Christian Selig, took a fun feature out of his Apollo for Reddit app and turned it into a new app called Pixel Pals. Not only was this a fun app but it played with the key new feature of the iPhone 14 Pro – the Dynamic Island. I realised straight away that this app would likely become very popular with people looking to customise their iPhones so I set to work creating a tutorial on how to set up your own Digital Pet in the Dynamic Island straight away. At the time of writing this video has picked up over 66,000 views since October 2022 and is still going strong gaining around 800 views a day.

Add an Animated Digital Pet to the Dynamic Island

Evergreen content is an entirely different proposition. To create a video that has a life beyond just a week or two I have realised that I need to step back and consider what somebody might be typing into the YouTube search box at any given time. “How do I change my Lock Screen wallpaper?” or “How can I print from my iPad?” are both questions that could be asked at any time – not just during a trending moment.

I see these as prime candidates for videos as I can create a high-quality and straight-to-the-point video that will answer these queries. I won’t spend ten minutes beforehand talking about what a wallpaper is or explaining the very concept of printers – instead I’ll jump straight to the point and create an easy to follow guide to achieving the task the viewer is trying to do.

These videos are the very opposite of ‘click-bait’. “OMG! FIVE THINGS YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE AN IPAD CAN PRINT?!” is not what that previously mentioned viewer is searching for. They want an answer to their question, not to be entertained or shocked. At least, I hope they do!

Simple thumbnails, informative titles and straight forward, honest content. I believe that’s the key to an evergreen video.

In June Apple unveiled their latest updates to their iOS operating system at WWDC. For me, this meant endless possibilities for new QuickTips. For each new feature, there’s the potential for a new QuickTip or two to help people who don’t watch WWDC to make the most of their devices come autumn.

My videos aren’t targeted at people who watch events like WWDC live. They’re not really aimed at people who stay up-to-date with the latest iPhone every year either. I’m trying to help the average user who has an iPhone, iPad or Mac and wants to get the most out of the device they’ve paid for.

So when a big update like iOS 16 comes around it’s the perfect change to create some bite-sized and easy-to-follow videos to help people learn about the new features their devices have now got.

I created a spreadsheet (of course I did!) to plan my videos and diligently worked through the summer to put together 40 QuickTips based around the new update. I released these three-a-day in the weeks following the iOS 16 launch.

There is a part of me which wonders if I would have been better off releasing the videos all at once to potentially capitalise on the trending topic nature of iOS 16, but that part is counterbalanced by the thought that releasing 40 videos at once could potentially destroy my recommended views from people who get suggested my videos by YouTube. It’s hard to know which was to approach that really – perhaps this is something I might reconsider for next year.

Your iPhone just got a massive update with iOS 16.

Another exciting moment for video inspiration came later in the year. In December Apple released a brand new app, on three platforms, for the first time in ages.

Freeform is a great tool and one that there was almost no content on YouTube for (apart from some 50 minute long walkthroughs). I spotted an opportunity here to create some evergreen content that people can access in the future to help them use Freeform, but also the possibility of some trending videos that might take off as Freeform was launched.

I set to work planning a series of videos to demonstrate all the key features of Freeform, as well as answering potential questions that I could imagine future users running into. As an Apple Developer I was able to have early access to iOS 16.2 (containing Freeform) which allowed me to explore and create content ready for its general release.

I used the app itself to help me plan my videos and ended up creating a full tutorial (split over 9 parts) which I then recorded and edited for each platform.

A fun easter egg that I don’t think anyone has picked up on yet is that each series featured the same tips, but set around a different fictional city-break. iPad users will see me plan a trip to San Francisco, iPhone users will see me researching Cologne and Mac users will see me considering Tokyo.

Whilst these videos enjoyed a nice initial uptick in views, I wouldn’t consider them as having hit upon a trending topic. However, they are all steadily going along now and are appearing in YouTube search results, which hopefully will ensure they bring evergreen viewers to my channel in the future.

Exploring the Data

To understand a YouTube channel I believe it is best to examine three key metrics: Views, Watch Hours and Subscribers.

These three numbers are linked and show the health and viability of a YouTube channel. They’re also an excellent way to reflect on growth in a concrete way across multiple years.

This year I’m proud (and mildly shocked!) to say that my videos achieved a total number of 1,549,054 views, which resulted in a total watch time of 35,697 hours. I genuinely find it bananas that there are so many people who have seen (and hopefully learnt something from) one of my videos this year. In all, my channel grew by 8044 subscribers in the last twelve months.

Anybody who knows me will know that I do love a nice graph. In fact, I’ve been keeping track of my YouTube channel since I started in 2019 with a spreadsheet that shows these three metrics over time. Below you will see three line graphs, showing how my channel has grown since it first began.

Views

For me the most exciting part about this graph isn’t the spikes (usually around a big event like iOS 16 being released), but rather how the views level out after that spike.

They consistently level out at a higher place than before each spike, showing that after the trending videos have died down the new evergreen videos are doing their job and raising the total views across the board.

One thing I’m very proud of is surpassing a quarter of a million views in one month!

Watch Hours

This graph mirrors the previous in terms of the spikes and raises afterwards.

However, it’s interesting to see how the watch time in 2021 (the green line) was dramatically higher than in 2022 at one point.

I think this is largely down to my videos being shorter this year as I’ve been trying to return to my roots of creating short and to-the-point content. Last year I tried to pad them out a tiny bit but that didn’t feel right, so this year I’ve gone back to basics.

Subscribers

Wow, look at that green spike! Oh wait, that was last year.

Subscriber growth has been steady, but not as dramatic this year. Last year I had a few key videos that did incredibly well and, by a quirk of fate, they were also ones where I put a direct call to subscribe in the video.

I’ve neglected this a little bit in 2022 and looking at this graph it’s clearly something I need to work on for next year if I want my channel to continue to develop.

Year On Year

Overall I think these charts paint a relatively healthy picture of growth and I think they fairly represent the amount of time, energy and effort I’ve put into creating videos this year. There are some big spikes around the time of big iOS updates (which is generally when I have a lot of new and relevant content to share) as well as year-on-year growth across the board. I would like to work on my subscriber growth in 2023, although that comes second to creating good quality videos and I don’t want to spend 20 seconds of a 60 second video asking people to subscribe!

I think in general I would describe these charts as being steady. There’s no explosive moment where everything changes. I haven’t had a super-viral success where I’ve been getting millions of views a day. No breakout hit that’s suddenly upended my life. Perhaps one day that will happen, perhaps not. To be honest it feels like it’s almost entirely down to luck and the YouTube algorithm.

But let me be honest – knowing that I’ve created content which has hopefully helped 2.9 million people is an incredible reward in itself.

Most Viewed Videos

In the last twelve months these videos have had the highest number of views on my channel. Three out of the top five were published this year (in fact in the last 4 months), which gives me confidence that my channel is growing and that the content I’m creating is both relevant and useful to people.

This also proves my theory of evergreen and trending topic videos, with a combination of both making up my top 5 this year. I’m hoping that by continuing to target a mixture of both going forward I will be able to maintain a steady level of views and a steady pace of growth for my channel.

Viewer Data

A big question I wonder about is how people find my videos in the first place. Sharing them on Twitter or Facebook is great, but only results in a handful of views.

This chart shows that in 2022 a whopping 85.3% of my views came from search – either directly on YouTube or as featured results on Google Search.

Evergreen videos are the force behind this, with many of my videos now the top ranking result on Google and YouTube for many common (and slightly less common) iPhone and iPad queries. However, having so much traffic from search does bring with it a pretty major downside, as we’re about to find out…

One really interesting statistic I’ve uncovered this year is that the percentage of views from subscribers as compared to non-subscribers is incredibly low. Not just a little bit low, ridiculously low.

This is not a happy chart!

What this tells me is that only 3% of people who watch my videos are subscribed.

To put this into context, a vlogger type channel would probably see the majority of their views coming from subscribers, with only a small percentage coming from non-subscribers. In effect, the opposite of my chart.

Naturally the question here is: Why don’t more people subscribe to my channel? The ratio of likes to dislikes, combined with the number of views and positive comments suggests it isn’t that people don’t like my videos. Instead I have a hypothesis…

Because so much of my viewership is gained through YouTube Search and Google Search, those people are coming to find an answer, getting an answer and then moving on with their day.

Imagine for a moment if your washing machine broke down. You might look on YouTube to find a fix. A really helpful video pops up and you solve the issue you’ve been having. Maybe drop a cheeky like or a comment to say thanks. But do you then really want to subscribe to a channel all about fixing different types of washing machines? I’d imagine not.

I think this is where my videos fall… Being a channel based on answering questions rather than a personality driven channel seems to mean I fall under the radar of getting new subscribers, but above the average in getting my videos showing up at the top of search results.

Another factor here could be that my channel currently shares videos related to the iPhone, iPad and Mac. Just because you enjoy a video about using Keynote on the iPad doesn’t necessarily mean you’d also want to learn how to change your Login Screen on a Mac. Those two devices are very different and as such have different audiences. I feel like I almost have to change my approach slightly and focus down more on one particular platform at a time.

Next Steps

Reflecting back on the last twelve months has given me lots to celebrate and be proud of, but also lots of food for thought in terms of how to continue growing the channel in 2023. I think there are three main areas I’d like to work on over the next year, which are:

Increase Focus on Trending Apps

The biggest spikes in my yearly graphs come when I release a video at just the right time and it starts to take off as people are searching for it in real time. These videos are usually linked to a trending topic (like iOS 16 being released) but they are also just as often linked to a popular app or viral trend that comes out of the blue. At the moment I'm good at preparing for big OS updates, but not so reactive when a new trend or hot new app comes along. To increase growth I need to follow the same principle I used for my Pixel Pals video and experiment with new content that might just catch onto a trending app.

Improve Metadata

I will spend this coming year trying to improve my Titles, Descriptions and Thumbnails to improve the view counts on each video I post. Quite often the majority of my time is spent editing a video to make it look perfect, but then the other elements - the metadata - is rushed so I can get it published. I need to spend more time fine tuning this element to increase the rate at which people click on and view my videos. I hope this will mean that my pie chart next year will have more green and less grey in terms of the views of each video I publish.

Firstly, I will be more direct with my call to action in each video. It can be very short, but I want to encourage people to visit my channel to see if there are other tips they may enjoy as well. I don’t want this to be annoying, or to make people click off a video, but I feel there is a balance to be struck that I haven’t quite found yet.

Secondly (and this is a bold move!) I am going to split my channel into four. In fact, I’ve already started that process. Let me explain…

Prior to now all my videos have been in one place. A ten minute iPad QuickLesson about Pop Art sits on the same channel as a 50 second guide to controlling music on your iPhone Lock Screen. It’s no wonder a potential subscriber might be put off when they see such variety of videos on one channel.

So I’ve rebranded my channel into ‘iPhone QuickTips‘. The majority of the views there were for iPhone-centric videos anyway and that’s what most of my subscribers were watching. Whilst I haven’t deleted or unlisted any other videos, they no longer appear on my channel homepage. Instead I’ve created new channels for ‘iPad QuickTips‘, ‘Mac QuickTips‘ and ‘iPad QuickLessons‘. Any future videos will be uploaded to the relevant channel, rather than all in one place.

I hope this will make my offering clearer to potential subscribers, whilst also having the benefit of not cluttering up peoples recommended videos with ones from me that they aren’t interested in. If you’ve read this far into my (now very lengthy) blog then perhaps I could encourage you to subscribe to any of the channels that interest you by using the links below.

Live Demo: Making a QuickTips Video (from Start to Finish)

9th July 2020 by Jacob Woolcock

Right, let’s do this.

Every week since the 2019 Institute I’ve made a 60 second(ish) Quick Tips video – designed to teach my colleagues a new skill or tip for their iPads. They’ve grown since then and are now shared widely within our community and beyond. I’m thrilled that these little videos have taken on such a life of their own and at the time of writing they’ve been viewed over 65,000 times on Youtube.

So I thought (given I’m making one anyway), why not live-stream the process from start to finish? We’re taking from the initial recording of the Memoji and the iPad screen itself to bringing both into Final Cut Pro X and going through the process of editing, tweaking, altering, polishing and exporting. If people are still hanging around I can go through the thumbnail creation process in Adobe Photoshop CC too and even the uploading and keywords tagging on YouTube. Literally from start to finish. All my secrets shared (most of them anyway!).

I reckon this will take around an hour and a half. It might be boring and nobody might come. Or there might be a few of there for a nice chat as I work.

I might have had a lot of coffee and be buzzing and talking nonsense. Nobody knows. But that makes it a little more exciting, right?

So yeah, if you’ve nothing else to do this Sunday or if you just fancy learning a bit about how I use Final Cut Pro to create these videos then add this to your calendar. I can’t promise a slick and smooth presentation but you will see the entire process. Maybe you can even help me choose the subject of the video (let me know in the comments if you’ve any ideas!).

Event will take place on Sunday 12th July 2020, starting at 1.45pm BST. Please send me a DM on Twitter for the Zoom link and password.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am not a Final Cut Pro wizard. I will probably be doing things in a very awkward way and and sort of expert would probably laugh their head off watching me.
