Whoa, huge news for iOS nerds. Matthew Panzarino has the scoop:
Workflow has been around for a couple of years and we’ve covered it and its updates. It shares some similarity with the service IFTTT, in that it allows people to group together a bunch of actions that can allow them to perform complicated tasks with one tap. It had built up a sizeable number of users and downloads over the past few years.
Workflow the app is being acquired, along with the team of Weinstein, Conrad Kramer and Nick Frey. In a somewhat uncommon move for Apple, the app will continue to be made available on the App Store and will be made free later today.
Workflow never really clicked for me, but I’ve been meaning to give it another try. This certainly provides ammunition against the argument that Apple doesn’t care about power users any more.
