chupacabraTERROR posted:Hm, it didn't work this morning but seems to be working now. Maybe I pressed the wrong button. There really is no problem with the default app anymore. It was TERRIBLE for the first few versions, but it's been really solid for at least a couple months. Save your $2. This is assuming you don't care about location based downloads (e.g. automatically download all your podcasts when you get home). I always stream so I don't really give a poo poo about that.

chupacabraTERROR posted:What is better about downcast? This tends to make it hard to find good comparisons. But lets see, there's only a few real things I see beter in Downcast after playing with Podcasts for a couple minutes: * Downcast has 30s and 2m skip forward, Podcasts only has 15s. I'm a bad person who uses the 2 minute button to skip ads. * Podcasts makes it harder to see the show notes (only from the episode list, not Now Playing), and it removes any links which is dumb. * Location based syncing is a hack, but it's all we got until iOS 7 which should fix background downloads for good. Otherwise they are *very* similar. Downcast has a ton of settings if you want to configure it to exactly your liking, but I don't use most of them.

Question Mark Mound posted:It didn't even occur to me that anyone had launched Vine after the first few days of launch. It's weird. I started hearing about vine here and there at first. You would think with twitter behind it they would have made it more noticeable. But I guess they wanted to do a soft launch and get the kinks out.

Killer features for me: Downcast lets you adjust the base volume by podcast if you hate having to turn up the car stereo every time you want to listen to Fresh Air. You can swipe and tap to skip ahead/back 30s and play/pause, which is great if you use it in the car and don't want to take your eyes off the road. If you send the system "Previous/Next Track" commands to downcast (like you might from the multitasking bar, a dock, or the lock screen audio controls) it'll skip ahead/back 30s rather than change tracks or restarting from the beginning.

Vine is really cool and I've had a lot of fun using it, but I think the one thing holding it back is that it's really difficult to find your Facebook friends on there. You pretty much have to either ask them in a separate channel, or wait until they post a Vine video on Facebook.

I was recently given an iPad mini and I've been getting all my apps set up on it today. While I really love Reeder on the iPhone, it seems like the iPad version isn't nearly as developed. I can't even manage my subscriptions on it (add, remove, tag) and that's kind of silly. Does anyone have a suggestion for a rss reader that works well on both the iPhone and iPad? I'm halfway tempted to just use the iPhone version on my mini even though it'll look stupid.

At this point what are the best drawing/sketching apps around? I've been out of the loop for a while when it comes to iPad apps. I'd also love to find one that emulates painting fairly well.

It's a bit buggy in my experience. For me sometimes the notifications or badges don't go away unless I go to my hangouts list. I have had no badge a couple of times as well. Hopefully the next release will fix some of these bugs.

Only asking because my group of friends have made the switch from Facebook messenger to Google hangouts, and that's the one thing that didn't like about it.

My wife and I are in our early 30s and the talk of our social networks has been our taking our twin 5 month old daughters out to their first breakfast at a sleazy dinner (complete with pictures). Getting old is the worst

I'd also love to find one that emulates painting fairly well. Otherwise for vector art I'm not sure. I use TouchDraw for stuff but that's a bit overkill (and not particularly smooth workflow wise) for sketching, Adobe Ideas might be better for that, or SketchBook Ink but that has its own quirks from what I've played with.

What's the best free remote desktop app? I know LogMeIn is in the OP but I'd rather not install a separate server. I don't need any fancy video streaming (though that actually would be nice), just want to be able to remote in to check on the status of long workloads and what not.

You don't need a separate server for LogMeIn. Just run the client on your desktop and its remotable from the app, or browser if you happen to be at work with a no-fun firewall.

What platforms and network setups? Like if it's Mac to Mac and you have control of the network (like mess with ports if necessary) you could use the built in Screen Sharing/Back to my Mac, or any VNC client with it (albeit with worse performance). If it's for another OS and/or a more complex network then I don't know which ones can work without installing a server.

It's very easy to set up. Just activate your youtube and pocket channels from IFTTT (authorising IFTTT to use them basically) then add the 'recipe' (it was already created by somebody else). After fiddling about with the various read it later services I've gone all in with Pocket and deleted the rest. I'm not sure if any of the others support Video but Pocket has for a while, as well as its core function of saving websites in a stripped down format.
