Thoughts on Transit App vs. HopStop? I see Apple bought HopStop recently, but there seems to be extra IAP for certain local transit systems. I'm not sure what the IAP does though, since I just tried a test route with one of those systems and it seemed to map out the whole thing just fine. I'm not far from NYC, so I'd definitely get coverage in both apps.

Well I also don't want to be tempted to log in on a PC either. Guess I'll just do it and not talk to people. The only people I really text are my family and my girlfriend. Snapchat takes care of the rest of my friends I speak with regularly. Yeah, actually, the more I think about it, the more I don't really need to use facebook messenger either.

I honestly have nightmares about how Steve Jobs wanted to integrate Facebook on the iPhone. It would've changed this side of the tech world for the worse. I'm so glad the Twitter integration is gone.

Have you tried Citymapper? I don't know how their NYC coverage is, but it's fantastic in London.

Well they made Ping before that so I'm not sure how much they really wanted third parties as much as just a little concession to reality.

And both Twitter and Facebook are still integrated :v: (just not in Notification Center)

I need a new Calendar app, but I am extremely picky and anal about them. There are a few things that are complete deal breakers for me.
I use Month view 99% of the time. The calnedar needs to default to month view and be month view oriented. Details of specific days and events need to viewable in a pop up or bar without leaving month view.
Events absolutely have to be able to be color coded.
Month view needs to display the name of events in each days pane, and also show relative times when a day has multiple events.
Must syn with google, though this usually is not an issue.
The biggest deal breaker of them all is that event creation needs to be quick and painless and use 10 key input, no scroll wheels.

I have tried tons of calendar apps and hated almost all of them. Up until recently I was using CCal and it was perfect. I loved it, best calendar app ever. Then I decided to update it for some unknown reason and 10 key is no longer the default. Every time I have to use that awful scroll wheel I want to throw my phone at a wall. Someone help me so I don't break my phone.

I'm pretty positive that Calendars 5 by Readdle does literally everything on your list.

In the Apple "Remote" app on my ipad, there's bar at the bottom for browsing by artist, album, song, etc. None of those buttons are clickable unless I click in the search box and bring up a keyboard first. Once I click and change the browsing view, I can dismiss the keyboard and browse how I want.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Probably a bug, it hasn't been updated for iOS 7 yet. On iPad it won't even rotate to landscape view.

Is there a reason the makers of WhatsApp don't port it over to the PC as well? It's a little bit annoying/inconvenient if I'm on my computer and get a whatsapp message and have to actually use my phone to respond whereas with iMessage I can just tab over to the Messages app and type it up there.

The previously mentioned Untappd is a very slick app, and if you aren't super anal about the way you rate and track beers it's probably your best bet. I use an app called Brew Vault because it offers many more ways to categorize and rate your beers, has an insane amount of beers in it's database ( I would venture to say it easily has double the amount in Untappd, down to the smallest foreign breweries). You can of course add entries (to Untappd as well IIRC). I also prefer to take my own pictures of beers I taste, and this was probably the biggest deal-breaker for me when I tried Untappd. The downside is it's not nearly as slick and doesn't have the cool UPC-code reader Untappd has.

Untappd lets you take pictures of beers you drink. It's not a native app, though, so it kinda sucks. I still use it, though.

It's a web app wrapped in a native app, I promise you. Navigating the program is sluggish, it doesn't remember where you were at while scrolling when switching between sections, and it reloads almost everything between each area of the app.

If it's truly a native app, it's the worst native app I've ever used.

I just got engaged and would like to find some kind of scrapbook or journal app that will let my fiancé and myself snap pictures, import pictures, and other cool stuff, and then have it printed out as a nice scrapbook that we can keep as a record of our wedding planning process.

My best guess would be the Shutterfly app. I don't know how well it works but the Shutterfly website has the functionality you're looking for, my mom orders scrapbook type photo albums all the time from them. They look great.

We used Evernote for our entire wedding, and it was awesome.

It won't do the scrapbook/print thing, but I'd also probably do that in a desktop package, like InDesign.

Hey everyone. I'm looking for a budging app that allows me to have two different balances (my checking account and my girlfriends), the ability to categorize spending with custom labels and to keep track of spending within those categories, and allow me to specify which account the money came from.

If anyone has recommendations i would love to hear them. If I'm not exalt enough on what features I want just ask and I'll try to clarify.

Head on over to the budgeting thread in BFC: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3549291

The apps I use are Mint.com and You Need A Budget. Mint for big-picture monthly income tracking, and YNAB for actual budgeting. Mint's budgeting is awful in my experience but I love how it imports all of my accounts into one place. YNAB is manual-entry, which I find is useful for keeping me honest and not going hogwild and ignoring my budget for a month.

edit: I'm a business guy so maybe my solution is a little too much, you might try Mint and see how it works for you, it's low-effort.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna try YNAB out. I don't quite like Mint because I don't like how I have to manually go back in and chance what category purchases from the same place are. I might get some food from Target at the same time I buy a video game. I like the manual entry into specific categories and it seems to handle two accounts well enough.

It may be more then I need, though. I feel like I'm going to be using it on a very basic level that another app could do for much less than $60, so I'm still open to more suggestions.

Well you can use YNAB for 35 days free of charge to try it out, and you can take the web classes they do for a chance to win a free copy (the ones taught by actual people).

It also occasionally goes on sale on Steam, I got it for $15.

Actually, I kind of like YNAB because it's easy to deal with and other apps and programs are too annoying to deal with and already start off being more than I need. Anyway, you can just watch their videos to get a sense of how it works, and that'd help a lot anyway because you don't really need the software necessarily.
