Good deal; I've been on Android for years, so I didn't know if iOS handled it natively or not. Thanks!

So Mailbox started randomly missing emails for me this week. They would be sitting in my Gmail inbox but no amount of refreshing would make them appear in the app. Had to uninstall, that kind of bullshit can not stand.

So I'm having a weird issue. I had to get my phone switched out, and I had corruption in my iCloud back up so had to start fresh.

The Facebook app isn't showing up in Notification Center. Like, it's not just not showing notifications, but it's not even in the list of apps in Notification Center or the list of apps not in Notification Center. It's like it doesn't exist. And it's also not giving me notifications. Any ideas?

I find it strange that the Google app has true full-screen browsing (top indicators disappear when you scroll down) while Chrome and Safari don't. Is this really the case or is there some option I can enable to get it on either one of them?

Don't have the google app installed but if you mean indicators like the URL bar and back buttons, those definitely disappear for me?

I mean this is what it looks like in Chrome:


And this is what browsing in Google App looks like:



I like Google App browsing because it's 'real' full screen, but there's no URL bar or bookmarking available at all. It's just funny to me that this isn't an option in Chrome, but it is in Google App and a number of (probably buggy) 'second-rate' browsers. Or maybe I'm missing something and there's a way to achieve complete full screen browsing in Chrome or Safari.

Edit: had the browser screenshots backwards.

Oh, you mean the top bar. Fun fact: tapping the top bar will move your view from wherever you scrolled down, back to the top. That might be why they included the top bar?

But you can do that in google app as well. You just have to scroll up ever so slightly to being the bar back, then tap it and you're back at the top. It's also got an easily accessible 'search within page' function for finding a specific word or phrase. It's like the ultimate browser, except stripped off all features that make it worth using outside of looking at google search results.

I'm really starting to dig google app and it's related services. Google Now always tells me about my commute, and tells me about the weather in a consistent way. Notification center may or may not show any of that information. The voice search is so good, I feel like Siri hates me now in comparison. I even got on my laptop and set up Google Keep to be my new reminder app, but that's when I ran into a wall. There's no good Google Keep app for iOS and drive.google.com/keep is literally unusable in Safari or Chrome for iOS.

I've read the op and used google but still can't figure this out. If you're an admin on a Facebook page how do you comment as yourself and not as the page name? Also my wife and I both have alpine stereos in our vehicles, hers is 6 months newer and a little different but both are the same model. They have a USB cord that you can plug your phone cord into and play your phone through. Mine has always worked fine but the first time I used hers it showed an error on the radio and my charger cord began acting like it had a short. It progressively got worse (plugged in at home to the normal cube) and quit charging within a week. I bought a new cord and it charges fine in the house but will error the radio out within 10 seconds. Any one have any info?
My phone is a Verizon iPhone 5 current update on phone and fb app.

So, what's the best app to save youtube videos for later viewing on the iPad, preferably at something higher than 320? I've tried both Instapaper and Pocket, but they only play the video at hideously low resolution :(

Fantastical is the only calendar app I've used thus far which was designed intelligently enough to incorporate reminders on the same calendar. 90% of the poo poo I want to put on my calendar is like "pay bill" or poo poo so setting an hour long engagement to do so? gently caress that. Fantastical though it does it.

What drives me absolutely batty about calendar apps is that absolutely none of them support crossing off days in the past. Half of them don't even colour weekends differently.

Can anyone recommend an app to make some shopping lists? Possibly with the ability to share them with others, although not necessary.

You don't have to create an account though? You just log in with whatever other calendar accounts you already use to sync them...

E: Unless I'm forgetting something. It was a long time ago but I vaguely remember just hitting the "Facebook" button and it being good to go.

I guess there are a lot of good options, but we use AnyList, and it does not annoy me. Free with IAP to add features. It has shared lists, though you do need to create an account for that.

I use Facebook events a lot, so it's a feature I would have wanted anyway. And it's integration with it and Google Calendar is pretty much why it's my go to app for this kind of thing.

Then don't put "buy dew from the market" as an event on anything that you need a reminder for? I honestly don't even know what you mean by that, truth be told, or why Sunrise would be forcing you to do it somehow.

I bought "Reporter" because I like the idea of tracking my boring life but it is ridiculously overpriced for what it is. I bought it due to a glowing Fast Company review, presumably those guys don't get a lot of apps.

It's not terrible or anything just way too limited to justify the $4 price tag. Don't make the same mistake I did! Save your money.

Thanks for the honest review. I collect data on behavior for a living, and Reporter interested me too. But before I jumped in I decided to stick in my Appshopper wish list and see if it would get any price drops any time soon.
