I pulled a spreadsheet off of google drive the app and put it in Numbers as an excel file awhile ago. I can't find the button to do it again, is it still possible? How?

I think that was changed in the 1.0.1 update so that nothing gets put into iCloud. Episode state is already tied to your Overcast account.

I see that in the patch notes, but it's still taking up over a gig for me.

edit: apparently flicking the Overcast switch off and back on in backup settings solved that.

Does anyone know of an mp3 editor for iPad that can handle large files? I need to crop down some mp3s that are like 4 hours long and over 100 MBs. Don't wanna go buying some app that's just gonna crash when I try to open a big file. I have an iPad Air.

I've been getting some note or splash screen about it for a while it feels like. It's almost like an empty threat cause they've been doing it for however long. "Try the new messages app, it's even more convenient! It has more new features! You better switch cause we're pulling it out of the main app! It'll be better because it's separate and can update without being bogged down by the piece of poo poo main app!"

Anyone know of a good sleeping app? I'm looking for something to play sounds. I enjoy rain, fireplaces, a little bit of nature and an odd one, planets (like Jupiter, Mars, Venus). Apparently they aren't really sounds of space (no sound in space, duh) but some sort of electromagnetic magic.

Noisli has a pretty good selection of sounds (white noise/nature/fire/waves/coffee shop/etc.) and you can layer the sounds on top of each other for mega++ sleeping.

Does anyone here use SyncPass to access their KeePass database on iOS? It's stopped working for me in the past few days, the app just crashes on startup, and their website doesn't load for me. I can't find anything on Twitter or Facebook so I'm a bit stumped. Shame if it's gone because it was by far the best app for this I had found (and I tried a lot of them!).

My only complaint about Sleep Cycle is that I feel like its stats could be more useful. The percentage seems random and the graphs don't really reveal anything I didn't already know. If it charted how long it took me to fall asleep, how my sleep changes based on the sleep I got the night before, and so on, that would be neat.

As an alarm clock though, I love it.

A warning about side-effects makes a placebo/snake oil look more credible.

Are there any decent apps that let me cast pictures or video from my camera roll to Chromecast?

this'd be possible but doesn't quite fit with the chromecast model (your phone would wind up being both the caster and the 'receiver', i.e. thing that the chromecast device talks to to get the data to display). most chromecast stuff has the receiver being something in the cloud; having it be your device is unusual. not to say it couldn't happen, though, it's just an odd fit and i'm not sure anyone's going to bother (all that said - this could be a fun starter app for someone wanting to mess around with iOS development as a hobby, it should be easy enough)

anyway, comedy option: how much can you put up with G+ :q:

I'm a big fan of Storm Sim. It has some presets, or you can make your own soundtrack by layering various rain, thunder, water, wind, and animal sounds and setting how often they should go and how loud. All the randomization makes it constantly change so you're never subconsciously waiting for that one recognizable part of a sound loop -- which throws me off on most white noise programs.

If I remember correctly, it's goon made, too.

Maybe if you jailbreak. Private frameworks are needed to do that sort of thing, so they never make it into the App Store.

Yeah I got into flossing every day by using Lift. It does that whole "Seinfeld Method" thing where you create a streak of events and feel like breaking the streak is more of a barrier than doing the activity.

Also some author recommended some sort of baby steps thing with expectations. Like rather than phrasing the daily goal as "floss", make it "floss one tooth". For some reason that helped me get to the actual flossing if I was super tired and then I'd do one tooth and realize that there was no reason not to just do my whole mouth, even though I was aware that the "just one tooth" thing was a dumb trick.

The psychology of habits is very interesting. I've been meaning to read "The Power of Habit" for awhile.

Just tried to sign up for Spotify Premium in the app, and it brought up an App Store prompt asking me if I want to pay $12.99 for Premium. If I go to Spotify's website, Premium is 9.99.

I know Apple takes a chunk out of any sales that go through ios apps, but I thought they had a provision that said prices for things like this had to be the same in the app as they were elsewhere. Is that no longer the case?

According to this they changed that policy in June of 2011. (For all I know it could have flip-flopped a bunch of times since then.)

Holy poo poo itunes for windows is the most fantastical piece of poo poo software I have ever seen. I just tried it out on a Mac for the first time ever today and it's no wonder Mac users think it's worth their time to bring up itunes in threads all the time. This version is such garbage in retrospect I can't go back.

Can this thread recommend good alternatives? Ideally it's a single program, like itunes, but I will try out single function alternatives. I just need a whole package replacement so I can get as far away as possible.

Does it have to work with your iOS devices? Because I don't think there are any alternatives if so. If not the Zune software was great, if it still exists.
