BisterdDave posted:When I signed up for YouTube Red I did it through my iPad which set payments through my apple id. Now that I've got rid of all my apple devices, what's the easiest way to set up the payments to be made through Google so I can take advantage of using my Google Play balance? Would I just have to unsubscribe, then re-subscribe through Google? If you have a Android phone or tablet, you can change payment methods inside the YouTube app. Tap on your account icon in the top right, then tap my YouTube red, then scroll to the bottom and pick update payment method. You can pick a credit card or your play balance there. Don't know if that will work in your particular situation having previously paid via Apple.

Basically I had to unsubscribe through iTunes, and then I'll have to resubscribe once my current sub ends. Also I had no idea Apple charges an additional 30% for subscriptions (I was paying $13 a month). Seriously, gently caress Apple!

I thought they prohibited sellers from making things cheaper outside the App Store as it obviously is in this case but I guess not.

They take a 30% cut of all App Store sales (I believe Google's rate is the same), and Google decided to offload that onto Apple by charging an extra $3/mo. I thought they'd tried to put an end to that, too, buuuuuut ???

Google prolly said they can stop charging the thirty percent most efficiently by not offering the youtube app through the store and apple said ok charge it

I like Fenix a ton for Twitter but it eats data like a motherfucker. I've been using it today while my power is out and over a few hours of off and on use it's used over 300MB, which is silly for what should be mostly text. Anyone know if there are better mobile data options in Flamingo or a different app?

That represents easily hundreds of images and dozens of videos. I don't think you're going to find an app that limits that unless you can find one that has "don't download images at all" as an option, which... you won't.

I dunno, that does seem high to me if you've got your media settings (about the same in both as I recall) pretty conservative and you're not clicking through to videos and stuff. If I'm without home internet for a while I usually don't go over 1-200MB a day for plain stuff like Twitter, Awful, web and mail. Maybe y'all have busier timelines than me though?

What's a good app for resizing these huge animated gifs my phone will now export out of its moving pictures? If I want to drop them on twitter, etc. I'd pay 5 bucks for something good with no BS

I opened it maybe four times over the span of three hours and it used twice as much data as everything else I used in that time combined. That's a lot to me. Fenix does have an option to disable loading media embeds and previews, but it's a toggle and not something that I can set to turn on automatically on mobile, which feels like an oversight.

vulturesrow posted:Is Pocketcasts (in the op) still the recommended podcast manager/player? After Beyondpod released a total dog turd of an update, I switched to Pocketcast. At first, I was underwhelmed, but it took Beyondpod months to release an update (which was only half fixed). When they finally did, I realized I didn't miss the million little settings that Beyondpod offers, so now, after years, I'm a Pocketcasts fan.

vulturesrow posted:Is Pocketcasts (in the op) still the recommended podcast manager/player? To me the primary selling point of Pocket Casts is the web player. That said, from what I've heard PC's support for paywalled podcasts is somewhat lacking and other apps handle them better. I've never had the problem so I can't comment on that.

I've been using PocketCasts for a really long time on my phone and sort of scoffed at the idea of using the web portal. Why why did I do that!? It's pretty great. And the sync works really well between phone and site. I'm sold. Even before that when I was just using the phone app it was really great. Add me that to the group of people recommending PocketCasts

Well, one of the big issues with the hosed up beta was that the app would lock up after about 30sec of playing an episode and crash. One of the big things I look for in a podcast app is "can play a podcast", so this was a doozy of a dealbreaker. And they left it like this for months. Podcast Addict is also very good and I said for a long time that it would be what I switched to if I ever moved away from BP. I actually installed it and Pocketcasts at the same time, but never took the time to get used to PA's interface, so I just stuck with PC

Which of the many many Twitter apps features a timeline widget? Earlier versions of Falcon had one, but the latest release seems to have dropped it. The product descriptions in the Play Store for the thread title recommendations don't mention any widgets and I don't feel like spending money (albeit beer money) on different apps to find out if they come with a widget.

mcbexx posted:Which of the many many Twitter apps features a timeline widget? Just a widget that shows your timeline that you can scroll down without filters or anything? Flamingo has one, it's my primary method for browsing Twitter. I'd probably never look at Twitter if I had to open an app but if I'm bored I can just swipe right on my home screen and there's something to read! I tried a few others here and there but I needed transparency and I needed the letters to have shadows for legibility so a bunch I installed, noped out, and uninstalled but there were a bunch that had one in some form or another.

Anyone know of an assistant app that just launches the web browser or maybe even any other app the user chooses(no search or context based on screen content). I just want to turn the "hold home button for assistant" that I wouldn't otherwise be using into a launcher. It's like a 20 line app but I thought I'd check first.

I used to use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gn%3DAndroidPIT It's not an assistant app, it instead just lets you change all the single-press, double-press and hold actions for the buttons, so you could make a long press on home open your browser or any other app. Granted last phone I used it on, it had physical buttons for the ones I wanted to modify, but it's worth a try.
