bazaar apparatus posted:Twitterrific 5 - Latest edition of the popular Twitter client that invented the idea of posts being called 'tweets' and I think they also were the first to use bird imagery in their icon. Anyway, this is the only client around right now that has me thinking about switching away from Tweetbot. It really is fantastic. I've been using it instead of Tweetbot since it was released and I might actually stick with it.

IUG posted:I've been interested in starting to use one of these services. Do you have to pay a fee to start using this before the app? Then do you have to buy the app for each computer you use too (or at least a Mac license and a PC license)? There's no overall fee to use the service, but you will have to pay for licenses to use each version (iOS, Mac, PC). It's not cheap but it's been worth every penny I've spent so far.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:The desktop versions of 1Password haven't been upgraded to 4 yet. Anyone know if that causes a problem? i.e. does running 4 on my iPhone and 3 on my Mac (linked with Dropbox) cause any problems? I'm sure they wouldn't have released the iOS version yet if it was a problem.

silloh posted:I have a general question about 1Password. I've been thinking about getting a password manager for a while now, but would it be worth it to only get the iOS app without the desktop one? Is it even "usable" without the desktop versions? I don't think it would be worth it. You really need to use it everywhere to really be helpful, but if you had to skip one I think you'd be a lot better off using just the desktop version.

The Batman posted:I'm not sure why Pocket Casts doesn't get much love here. It's a great app in my experience. I've spent significant amounts of time using Apple's Podcasts, Downcast, Instacasts 1-3, and Pocket Casts and ultimately Pocket Casts is the one I always come back to, but I think there are a few things that turn people off from it.
Pocket Casts is a great app, and it suits my needs almost perfectly, but I can definitely see the issues that other people might have with it. Diabolik900 fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Feb 4, 2013 |

geera posted:The reason they did it this way was to avoid a total meltdown of their servers when 500k+ people downloaded the app the second it was released on the App Store. By releasing it for free, they can control the rate of signups without people freaking out that they paid $3 for an app that they can't use. There probably wouldn't have been 500k+ downloads in the first day if people had to pay for it though. Giving it away for free only ensures that more people will download it, and most of them will be disappointed when they can't actually use the app. Plus it's obviously going to be a lot harder for them to make money on it now.

priznat posted:I just expect Mailbox to get bought by google or apple and then the app dies on the vine just like Sparrow. At least we won't be paying for them to showcase for investors this time! This is what I'm afraid of, especially now that they're giving the app away for free. Sparrow was great, but they weren't able to sustain the business even charging for the app. They've definitely picked up the pace with activations today though.

Minidust posted:Huh, is it possible for an iPhone to just "miss" an app update somehow? My pages in the app just never load. Oh well, I'll take it to the appropriate thread, thanks for the link! Sounds like you have the old app. Pokeyman took over development because OHIO didn't have time to work on it anymore. He had to submit it as a new app because there is no way to move an app to a different App Store account. I believe the old app should have prompted you to download the new app at some point, but I was already running betas of the new version by then so I honestly can't say for sure that it ever happened. You're not the first person to miss the switchover.

It's basically only in-app content that you need to use Apple's in-app purchasing for. That's why Amazon can sell physical goods through their apps, but not Kindle books or mp3s.

I've only found two differences, and they're pretty minor. The "Detail" view shows the username and avatar above the tweet instead of below it now, and your own tweets show up with your avatar on the left instead of the right.

Lexicon posted:Any recommendations for a podcast app that is specifically good for listening to back catalog episodes? Instacast really doesn't handle this use case well.... It mostly seems to be written under the assumption you are listening to current episodes. I really want a convenient way to listen to, and keep track of old [EconTalk and Hypercritical] episodes. For Hypercritical, instead of an app you might want to check out http://5by5timemachine.com/ It basically lets you create a delayed feed of any 5by5 show. I've been using it to get "new" Hypercritical episodes every week since it ended.

RSS readers have been too dependent on Google Reader for a long time now. Google Reader is essentially the only platform for syncing RSS subscriptions across different clients. That's not really a good situation, especially since Google hasn't seemed to care about Reader in years. Now that they're shutting it down (with a pretty good amount of advanced notice) we're sure to see a bunch of replacements pop up. Ultimately it's probably for the best that it's shutting down.

echobucket posted:It apparently has automatic downloads (I'm assuming this is complete background downloads much like newsstand downloads) As far as I can tell, this assumption is wrong and they're playing by the same rules as third-party apps when it comes to background downloads. As a matter of principle, this seems like a good thing, but honestly I really want automatic background downloads of my podcasts, so I wish Apple would take advantage of their ability to break the rules in this case. I'm trying the app out for a while, and I may end up fully switching to it anyway, but this is the one feature that would definitely convince me to make the switch.

Question Mark Mound posted:So is it worth making the switch back from Downcast yet? I've never been a fan of Downcast (I've been using Pocket Casts, but have spent at least a week trying all of the major podcast apps), but it definitely seems a lot less buggy than it used to be. At this point, I'd say it comes down to your personal opinion of the features and UI that each app offers. It's only been a few days though, so I might still change my mind.

Of course, other apps actually have text there that says "Tap to see timeline gap". Zuckeyburg's half-rear end programmers strike again.

xzzy posted:Well, their desktop OS does and it was a result of years of time in the courtroom. I've never used one of their phones. Those court battles only came about because Microsoft had a near-monopoly on desktop computer operating systems, and they were accused of using that monopoly to gain an unfair advantage for Internet Explorer. If Windows wasn't so dominant, they probably wouldn't have been forced to change anything. Apple doesn't even have the highest market share among mobile OSs. It's a very different situation.

Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if something eventually forces Apple's hand when it comes to setting default apps. My point was really that this is a very different situation than Windows in the 90s, so you can't really look at the Microsoft situation and say that the same thing will happen to Apple (which isn't really what you said anyway, but I've heard it before).

spongeworthy posted:The problem with choosing Most Recent is that it doesn't respect the custom settings you have set on Facebook-proper. I've got about 50% of my friend's feeds blocked and choosing Most Recent shows all of them. I can't speak to the newest versions because I got rid of my Facebook, but at least as of a few weeks ago it didn't work this way for me. I'm not saying it didn't do it for you, but I'd say that it's an issue with the app itself sucking. Most Recent is not supposed to work the way you describe.

I don't follow that thread, and I don't even use Dark Sky/Forecast.io, but I thought someone said that last time this came up.

My first impression when playing around with the app is that it looks like the iOS 6 Music app, but better. I hope that all the built-in apps end up looking like this, but with some more color variety rather than everything being predominantly white.

It's a very well-done app, and I think their philosophy of starting with something simple and extremely polished and (presumably) building on it over time is admirable. I don't think there is really any problem with the app itself, especially since it's a version 1.0 app, but the level of coverage it's gotten is a little ridiculous and it surely wouldn't have gotten so much attention if anyone else had built it.

Kheldarn posted:As the owner of a Kindle Fire, let me tell you: Don't waste your money. Get an iPad and the Kindle app instead. Owning a Kindle Fire doesn't really show you what owning an E-Ink Kindle is like. I bought a Kindle back when they still cost $400 and I loved it. Totally thought it was worth the price, but since I got an iPhone and iPad I've hardly touched it. The Kindle has a much better screen for reading (and the current Kindles are even better than the one I have) but to me, they're not so much better that it outweighs the convenience of reading on an iPhone and iPad. As long as you've already got the iPhone, I say try just reading on that for now and if you don't like it, then you should try the Kindle.

Push notifications are enabled for the app and for all my podcasts, and backgrounding is enabled too. Yep, I've gotten a couple already.
