A few more application suggestions, maybe: Languages - This is a really cheap ($.99) offline translation application that also looks good. Due - My favorite reminder app. It's $4.99, and not quite as creative as Clear, but really straight forward and cleanly designed. There's also a Mac app that syncs with it. Check the Weather - My favorite weather app at the moment. It's fully featured and well-designed. It also has Dark Sky's short-term weather radar built into the app. ($1.99) Recall - This is an app for jotting down movie, tv, and music (among other things) recommendations. ($2.99) Squarespace Note - Really nicely designed, gesture driven note taking app. Syncs with Dropbox, Evernote, Squarespace, or other services. It's also free. Launch Center Pro - This app is a bit hard to explain. It's sort of like a springboard inside of your springboard. You can create a ton of shortcuts for things like calling/texting/emailing a certain person or opening apps to perform certain actions. Disclaimer: I feel like this should be ridiculously useful, but I have a hard time remembering to use it. ($4.99) Edit: Handoff is a pretty useful app as well. It uses a browser extension to send pages from your Mac or PC to your iOS device. Delivery Status - If you buy a lot of stuff online, Star Wars Sex Parrot pretty much demands that you buy and use this. Articles - This is the universal version (an iPhone only version is available for $2.99), but this is the best (subjective) Wikipedia app for iOS out there. It just looks great. maduin fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Dec 13, 2012 |

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? Nah, it works fine, but 1Password 4 isn't really anything special.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Yes, the pro version was universal. Before it was iPhone, iPad, and Pro versions but now they're just moving to one universal app. The iCloud snc is pretty nice in case you're the one person out there's that doesn't use Dropbox. The worst part about the new 1Password app is that it requires my master password when iOS kills it in the background. The old version used the 4-digit pin you could set if you wanted it to, but the new one always reverts back to requiring the entire password.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:The iPad one was always like this. Plus have you gone to settings and set up the quick unlock code + how long before it auto locks? Yeah, I've messed with the various settings extensively. The Android version always required the master password too, but my universal version of 1Password 3.x definitely lets me unlock it with only the 4-digit unlock code by turning off auto-lock.

GMusic just updated with all-access support. It works, but it's not nearly as good as rdio or Spotify. People were asking about using Google's all access a few pages ago though.

The Apple blogs are all going crazy about Vesper, a new notes app by Dave Wiskus, Brent Simmons, and John Gruber. It's actually really clean and well-designed. It won't replace Evernote, but it looks great for taking quick notes.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:It's their new pricing model. $99/year for access from 5 computers (pc/mac) and tablet/phones (no idea if tablets/mobile devices count). You also get 20 gigs on SkyDrive and like an hour of Skype calling / month. It also keeps up to date with Office so it isn't that bad a deal on paper? If they do an iPad app it's what I'll probably switch to. It's an even better deal for .edu accounts. A 4-year subscription is $80.

petewhitley posted:It sounds like the developer is offering it free for awhile as a concession due to Google Reader shutting down and his not having all three platforms sorted out in terms of features/parity. Presumably it'll go back to paid once the Mac/iPad 2.0 versions are released and everything falls into place. I'm actually going to guess he'll release a completely new app and charge everyone again rather than just update the existing app. Not that that's really wrong, since it's a pretty huge update.

Lexicon posted:I've used Instapaper for a long time and still do (one of my most used apps), but I'm not sure I'd start using it today if I weren't already now that Marco Arment has sold it on, and its future is a bit uncertain. Especially given the cost. At this point Instapaper is being run by the same people running Digg and I have no idea how they plan to sustain a business without turning to ridiculous advertising. I was a hardcore Instapaper user but would never recommend someone buy it at this point.

1st AD posted:Is there a good Google Play Music app? As far as I can tell, the only ones out there are glorified browsers with the ability to play music in the background, don't support All Access, or both. Not really. The best one I've found is Cloud Play. Google really needs to stop loving around and release an official app though.

OGB posted:I think this is one of those instances where he's just building an app that interests him, but may also have some cross-over for others. I'm at the least willing to see what he does differently, but considering I have Downcast on my iOS devices AND Mac now, it's going to take quite a bit to pull me away. He'll charge $10 for it and it'll have half the features. It'll look nice though.

Disappointing Pie posted:Tapbots wrote a blog today about the state of their apps on iOS 7, Tweetbots been submitted to the app store completely rebuilt from the ground up for iOS 7 apparently. Hopefully they don't but I have a weird feeling they may charge again for this app. Surely they won't. That looks a lot like 'hey guys, we didn't update poo poo for a year, but now we need you to buy our new app so here's an excuse! We promise we didn't abandon everything!' to me. I'm sure their new version will be nice, but if they're going to charge again (and I'd bet whatever the cost of Tweetbot is they will), I'll stick with Twitterific.

Twitter has turned their app into a giant piece of poo poo, and anyone who likes the service should be terrified of them destroying that too. They seemingly have no vision of what the future looks like. And Fantastical 2 is amazing--Flexibits is one of the best developers that exists right now both on iOS and OSX.

Jolan posted:Not all apps are priced that low, and even if they are, it's the principle of the thing. Pulling an app so people have to buy it again without any prior notice or significant changes to the software is a con. It's implied that you don't just buy a single release of an app, you buy future support with it. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess there were major feature changes or a complete app redesign for iOS 7 and you're making poo poo up to support your original complaint. This is also why so many developers are moving/have moved to subscription models. And yeah, what app is this?
