I have a question about the facebook app. Since the various 'timeline-esque' updates I can't figure out how to view the 'likes' on a photo. Have they moved this somewhere else or have they just been really :downs: and broken it?

The app doesn't let you view the likes which is really dumb. I only keep the app installed so I can upload pictures to facebook easily from my phone. Otherwise, I use the website for everything else.

Did anyone else grab a copy of Kitchen Confidential when it was on sale AND read it with the Play Books Android app? The book updated a few days ago and now Play Books force closes every time I go to read it, but only that book.
I remember seeing a bunch of negative reviews on Play saying the same thing, but now they are all gone. :tinfoil:

Yep, that exact thing happened to me. I'm reading it on my PC now.

So LevelUp Studio is working on Plume 3.0 right now and one of the major changes is a new UI that works with ICS. Right now there is an alpha build up for 3.0 but it is far from finished (couple bugs and some icons are not final).

You can download the build here: http://levelupstudio.com/betatest/index.php?topic=173.0 (you'll need to register, but it's worth it cause they release updates everyday pretty much).

Here's what it looks like right now:

Your post said 'where you can see comments,' so I thought maybe you were having trouble with that. If you're talking about likes, yeah, the app's worthless for poo poo like that.

Anyone know how to set this?

I don't think you can, but if you touch the little triangle with the house on it in the corner, it looks up your location and lets you choose that.

Does anyone know of an app that will set off a notification every hour? It doesn't need to do anything else, just make a sound at the top of the hour.

Finally. The one thing I always liked about the iOS App Store over the Market was that the App Store showed reviews for the current version, so you didn't have to read through a bunch of reviews about bugs that were fixed months ago.

edit: not seeing how to mess with reviews shown

Edit2: never mind, have to click on "see all" first.

I messaged the developers of the app after posting that question, because I also noticed that it was reporting 500+ downloads so it must have just been released.

I was told "follow me is one of our most requested features and we are currently working tirelessly to incorporate it into the application."

Poweramp question:

I was drawing Lady Gaga on Draw Something last night and used the player screen on Poweramp as a reference. I poked the album cover a bunch of times (to stop the screen from sleeping) and I must have pressed something wrong because now the album art's not there anymore. I tried everything (different album cover settings, restoring an older TB backup of Poweramp, deleting and adding the album again, poking randomly around the screen). Any ideas?

You probably messed up the ID3 tag somehow. Try adding the album again and see if that works. If not, add the albm cover to the tag.

Poweramp question:

When you long press the album art it searches for alternative album art(by id3 tag Google image search I think).
You may have brought up that menu and got what you had when you randomly tapped.
Just long press again and select whatever art you want in the future if it ever happens again.

Really? I've had no issues ever with Music. Scrolling (even in landscape!) is smooth, even with a few thousand songs, making playlists, pinning stuff, streaming, etc etc. Since it has lockscreen and notification controls in ICS, I haven't had any desire to look for an alternate music app. Is it buggy for most people or missing features many can't do without?

I switched to weatherlove because it looks amazing with ICS. It has a lot of widget choices, so it's a decent replacement for beautiful widgets if it's hosed.
