Ten essential Retina-enabled OS X apps for the new Macbook Pro



MacBook Pro

If you've managed to get your hands on one of Apple's new MacBook Pros, you'll have spotted that most apps don't look that great on it yet.


The high-pixel-density Retina display runs at a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800, allowing for four times the number of pixels as the previous model. But most software isn't built for resolutions that high, so Apple has doubled up the pixels on old apps. On the one hand, that means you can still use those apps, but on the other hand it means that edges are jagged and don't look great.


Unfortunately, the only thing that'll fix that is a software update from the developer of the app. That's going to take some time, but already some developers have started pushing out updates that enable Retina resolutions for their apps on the new Macbook Pro. We've rounded up ten of the best.
