No app supports all access yet. They claim they're submitting/submitted an update this weekend that supports it though.

Is there an app that cancels unnecessary background processes and frees up memory, like memory clean for OSX?

Or is it not really needed with iOS?

Just trying to maximize my battery life.

There are jailbreak tweaks that will do this, but nothing in the normal app store. As has been said it's not useful* unless you're running 3+ year old hardware like a 3G or 3GS, and even then benefits are marginal by all anecdotes I've heard.

Best way to manage memory is to not pay attention to how much memory is being used at any given time.

I liked the look of that app but when I tried to use it it seemed like I had to add a user tied to their email address, and that it would email them to invite them to join or something. There was no way to just add someone without tying it to a contact.

Am I mistaken about it emailing the people you add? I just wanted to keep track of things for myself and not spam my friends / family about it.

It appears you have to have an email address to include people in your bill splitting, however:

- I've never received a single email after the sign-up.
- You can use a secondary email address that you don't often use.
- You can turn off receiving emails.
- I think they prefer to have a contact listed because of the program's idea of "fairness".

Also, note that when at home, you can also use the site - splitwise.com.

It was my understanding that Gtalk was being folded into Hangouts and everything should be showing up as Hangouts from here on out.

I don't use google+ or hangouts or whatever but I grabbed the app assuming I'd be able to talk to my one buddy I have on Gtalk and can't even figure it out. Is there some hidden buddy list or something I'm missing?

If you hit the "+" in the corner you should be able to search for him by name or e-mail to open up the Hangout page to chat with him.

I liked the part where Kuriyama did his big speech.
I get that they're trying to make it an alternative to texting but it's pretty annoying that they don't display presence (online/away/offline) since no one I know uses Hangouts yet. While I admire their aspirations, people aren't all going to switch over to this. I have a lot of friends who use gchat only when they're at work, and it's obnoxious that hangouts won't tell me if they're online or not.

Piictu is joining Kandu (a Betaworks company)!

We’re excited to announce that Piictu is joining forces with Kandu - “a Betaworks company” that shares our vision and ideals of how technology is a catalyst for a better and richer world. Together we will continue to build and bring users great products and experiences for a brighter future.

Unfortunately, this news doesn't come without hardship. At the end of May, the Piictu app will no longer be available. The important thing: You will not lose any of your photos and we trust you will reconnect with all your piictu-friends on other networks like tumblr, kik, twitter and instagram - some of our fave.

Over the past two years we’ve had the opportunity of supporting and sharing unique moments of our lives in pictures. Piictu was built on the idea that “the change in use of photography” is opening new opportunities to communicate and interact as humans. We’ve seen this stand true and flourish not only on piictu, but on other networks as well.

On Friday May 31st, the app will no longer be available. You’ll be able to download your photos until Friday June 7th by following the instructions on our blog.

How about the...TV Guide app? Just downloaded it now, like it better than the AOL TV/iTV app I was using before at least, and the intro thing says it can link to other services (or directly to those apps?) but I can't tell how that works in practice.

What do you mean how does it know? It just switches to "Claimed" status as soon as you claim one to prevent others from copy+pasting faster than you, it doesn't know if you've actually entered it on the store or not.

Is there an easy way to copy photos from my Windows PC to my iPad without iTunes? I want to bring some photos on a trip to show the parents but I don't want to install iTunes just for that.

EDIT: I need them physically on the iPad because I won't have internet at some points. There's about a hundred so starring them in Dropbox won't do.

Look into iFunBox. I believe it lets you import export music, photos, ringtones and books (?) without the need for iTunes.

Also maybe not dropbox but any third party files app (I use Documents by Readle) lets you download entire folders from Dropbox or anywhere else.

Any apps that give you a list of recipes based on the ingredients (or for that matter any recipes applications) you might recommend? I don't usually have an idea what I'm in the mood for and would really like to put the content of my fridge ( + my mediocre skill level ;)) to get some weird, but tasty foods.

Is there an app that publishes available codes for the free apps/songs you'd get at Starbucks, but for when you don't go to Starbucks/they're all out of the freebies?

Or shares codes given away by people?

It looks like iFunBox requires iTunes to be installed. I tried using some software from CopyTrans to get the drivers but that didn't work. I ended up finding instructions on how to use iCloud to get the pictures into Photostream which is good enough. I did try the Documents by Readle and that would have worked and I tried Goodreader but the photo viewing in the app sucked and I couldn't figure out how to get the pictures out in bulk.

The Starbucks app in Canada doesn't seem to give out free codes, hope they add that in. The capabilities seem to lag behind the US version about 6-8 months.

I claimed it on my phone, and it knows which one I claimed on my laptop. Like it lets me unclaim just that one. It seems to be written with a Twitter API, so maybe it is using my twitter logon cookie somehow.

I'm not sure it is the same apps though. Like I think The Heist and Clear were the most recent ones. And they didn't do any apps at all up until recently, just songs.
