Clear is the prettiest, simplest and nicest app for this, get it.

Clear would be good if the things could be used as a reminder. Like I often need to remember to do things. i'm a morone yada yada yada and so relying on opening an app is something I can't afford to do..


Other than that clear is good

Especially that one guy who apparently had to tweet several times just so the dev could get a full appreciation of how lovely he thought they were for not adding onto an app (that they presumably like) fast enough.

I like that the guy is threatening to stop using an app that he already paid for if the developer adds his demanded feature but does it two weeks late.

Twitterrific is free right now. I know you're all hard for Tweetbot, though. I use the official app like a pleb.

Edit: My bad, apparently it's now a free ad-supported app with IAPs. I guess you guys have good reasons for those Tweetbot boners.

I just started using Twitter again earlier this month and started out using the stock app, which was alright but kind of annoying for everyday use. Then I remembered I had bought Echofon Pro years ago because it had been great back then, so I reinstalled that and the newest version sucked. I bought Tweetbot after reading some reviews and it's easily the best Twitter app I've ever seen and it's been great for the past couple weeks that I've been using it. I don't think I could ever go back to any other app after this.

Does the newest version of Tweetbot have an iPad version? Pretty lame how it's not universal.

Nope, Tweetbot for iPad and Tweetbot for iPhone have always been separate products, because they have two totally distinct UI's. It's not just a big version of the phone app.

Tweetbot for iPad is still great and worth every penny you'd pay for it, but it hasn't been updated for iOS7/brought in line with the newest version on the iPhone.

Is there an app with the wifi file server functionality of Air Sharing with the ability to store the documents from the app in iCloud?

I realize I could add my Dropbox account and use that to keep the data in sync with my iPhone and iPad but I'd rather it Just Work. I've paid for iCloud which is another incentive.

Maybe Documents by Readdle, it's free. I know it has an iCloud storage area but I haven't tried the wifi sharing much at all (pretty sure it has that at least).

Monetizing on the App Store is hard. It makes sense, people seem to like to "try before they buy," and without any demo or trial functionality, free with IAP works.

Plus free with IAP isn't as insidious as it is with games. You're buying features, some of which you may use, some you may not. This isn't death by a thousand cuts.

E: Also I've found the best setup is Tweetbot on iPhone and Twitterrific on iPad, since the iOS 7 version of Tweetbot for iPad isn't out yet

This is what I do also and it works fine. For how good Twitterrific is, I still miss some of the little things Tweetbot does, chief among them handling of images: I love the way I can flick those away to dismiss them way too much compared to how small a part it is. Also the way Instagram pictures/videos open as regular images do, no browser pops up. Related note: if there's a Mac Twitter app that does this let me know, I'm using Twitterrific on OSX now and having it switch to the browser suuuuucks compared to Tweetbot on iPhone.

I'm not at my Mac right now so I can't confirm that it works the way you want, but have you tried Tweetbot for Mac? I would think it would treat them the same way as their mobile apps do.

Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 WATER monster you control (except this card) to Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed if "Raging Eria" is removed from your side of the field.
That seems pretty clearly intended for people who already have a 365 subscription for other reasons and need to be able to edit .doc's on an iPad and have the formatting stay precisely the same.

Heh, you can do an IAP of $99 for it. And if you do it that way, Apple gets 30% and Microsoft only gets 70%.

So reading the description on Office 365, it says 5 computers + 5 devices can use the apps, so that's not a bad deal.

edit: Wait does that mean 5 guys can use Word at the same time? Or does that include only installation on 5 machines? Because I was thinking of buying it for my small office, but not if it's only 1 device at a time.

It's 5 computers + 5 devices for the 1 account that uses it. You can use it at the same time, but everyone would have to login with that 1 Microsoft account.

I want to personally extend my thanks. I used iCab on iOS 6 pretty much the entire time, until they started pushing updates that made the drat thing pretty crashy on the iPad 3 with iOS 6. Then I deleted it, switched to Safari and didn't look back.

However, their claim of a complete rewrite for iOS 7 is spot on - it just works! I have it set up too look similar to Safari, but with extra awesome features. I'm happy that the dev took the time to fix his software!
