Hughlander posted:Thanks for the input then! I'll make sure you get a participation medal for it. It's really not that complicated if you have a decent stereo. My Blaupunkt deck automatically connects to my phone almost instantaneously and auto plays whatever I was last listening to. I don't have to take my phone out of my pocket. I literally turn the key and music or a podcast is playing within one or two seconds, and I can change tracks directly through the deck, as well as take phone calls and get navigation directions. This isn't even a fancy or expensive stereo. It's a no frills $100 CD player.

I was surprised apple accepted this app in the first place. I guess if you get a slot, you can win rewards by not blocking Apps, but the whole thing makes me nervous just by having everything going through their network. It seems to work as advertised, but it does slow loading times down.

Millions posted:Someone at some point suggested creating a track that's roughly a minute of silence and naming it "aaaaaa." The silence will play automatically, giving you enough time to pick a real song. I actually just rename a song that I really like so it's first alphabetically. When I get sick of that particular song, I change its name back and rename another. It's worked well for me for the past few years.

If you aren't opposed to paying a few bucks, I like Carrot Weather. I used to be all about BeWeather, but Carrot is a fun alternative (and they both use weather underground as the source for their info). They both are paid, but both have great widgets and watch apps, and Carrot Weather has a cool iMessage app.

Endless Mike posted:As noted, most developers get around this by offering a limited-function lite version and/or putting features behind IAP. I think the latter is becoming more common now that family sharing of apps exists. A good recent example of this is Super Mario Run, which allows the first world for free, but locks the rest of the game behind a  paywall. From what I've read, this may have backfired for Nintendo, since sales plummeted after the first few days and many people have complained about the lack of content provided during the "trial" and the "high" cost of unlocking all content (even though the game is super polished and most people have no issue paying 4-6 times as much for other Mario games on other platforms). Edit: and thanks for the precious recommendation for buzzfeed news. I never thought I would praise anything associated with buzzfeed, but the news app seems to be top notch. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Jan 4, 2017 |

With Pioneers AppRadio 4, you can use CarPlay plus Pioneers version (called AppRadio), which allows other third party apps (like Waze) to be used. It's not perfect, but definitely better than just CarPlay alone.

I've also turned several coworkers into it, and it's become an indispensable app for those people. So yeah, I recommend it.

The best part of the subscription is the new icon. I had most all of the features unlocked because I paid for the app back in the day, but I paid the just to not have the orange icon anymore (and it also replaced it in CarPlay which looks much better now). I wish there was a podcast app that would stream from the Apple Watch 3. There are apps that allow you to upload, but they all suck and streaming would be much more convenient and would take advantage of the whole reason for having an LTE capable watch. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Nov 9, 2017 |

Legs Benedict posted:i didn’t realize overcast was on a subscription now, that sucks rear end. i agree that marco doesn’t need the money necessarily but was trying to make a broader point that people generally seem reticent to pay for apps under pain of death The app is still free (though used to be paid) and some of the subscription features are grandfathered over for those who initially paid. The 9.99 a year is for a couple of mostly unnecessary features (ad free, new icon, and manual uploads). It’s basically just a way of supporting the dev without just handing him money. The ads are the most unobtrusive I’ve ever seen and do not effect the use of the app in any way. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Nov 10, 2017 |

Generic Monk posted:did marco ever explain why the font changes in the dark mode? it does make the whole thing look a lot more generic. i give marco a lot of poo poo but the general design of the app is a really great compromise between minimalism and personality, and i didn't realize how big a component the font was in that until i saw the app without it. truly greater than the sum of its parts imo I assume it's because the normal font seems like it would be harder to read on the dark background.

hey girl you up posted:This thing works as a "send to" target in a podcast app to download the podcast to your phone and might not completely suck? I haven't tried it yet, but it's free to try out. https://itunes.apple.com/app/minicast/id1321902240?mt=8 Thanks, I'll have to try that. I tried a couple of similar free apps that were supposed to send the files to the watch (I think the name of one was WatchCast), but I couldn't get them to work. Overcast even supported something like this at one point, but it was taken out due to some changes in iOS 11 I think? E: This actually seems like it will work, but you have to pay $3.99 to unlock the full version for it to send anything but the first episode of Serial. It does appear to work with Overcast or any other podcast app, so I think I'll pay the 4 bucks and see what happens. E2: Yep, it works! Still wish I could just stream instead of downloading individual episodes, but until that happens, this will work well in the meantime. Now, if SiriusXM would enable streaming on the watch, I'd be completely happy... empty baggie fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Dec 22, 2017 |

Since the app update / iOS12 update when I get in my car it just starts playing the wrong podcast, almost every time. I’ve had that happen a few times but it’s pretty random. Actually, it seems to happen to me when I get a phone call and then resume listening to a podcast.

TraderStav posted:First rule of Carplay, make sure you haven’t set up Bluetooth with your receiver in addition to carplay. The head units sometimes trip out and don’t know how to behave when both are connected. I’ve never personally had this issue, but with car stereos, aren’t phone calls typically handled through Bluetooth? I haven’t noticed with my CarPlay unit, but my previous stereos would always kick over to Bluetooth when a phone call came in, even if I was connected through USB.

Yeah, after I posted I thought about it more, and it makes sense that CarPlay would handle all of the phone stuff the same way. Years ago I had the original Pioneer AppRadio, before CarPlay when it was just Pioneer’s iPhone compatible software, and I’m pretty sure it dealt with all phone calls through Bluetooth, but since Apple developed CarPlay, it makes sense that everything would go through that. E: I still have that original AppRadio but nobody wants to take it from me. It only supports the 30-pin dock connector, so it’s functionality is limited with modern hardware. iPhone 5 launch day was a sad time when I realized upgrading my phone had rendered my car stereo useless. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Apr 9, 2019 |

I can only assume that Apple’s reasoning is that the chances of someone getting your password AND access to your devices are slim, but it does seem to be a terrible implementation of 2FA that appears to cause just as many issues as it solves.
