Unless you're really into being super organized and planning tons of poo poo to the T, then it's probably a huge overkill. It goes very deep. I've used it (on mac, iphone, and ipad) and determined it is way too much for me. I prefer a simpler program like Things for my remembering to do stuff. Yes, I love Things.

Is there a way to get rid of the "In addition to searching your iPhone, Spotlight now shows suggestions from the Internet, iTunes, App Store, movie showtimes, locations nearby, and more. You can change this in Settings. Learn more…" message when you pull down for spotlight?

I'm kind of realizing that my workflow needs some work if I'm going to be helping like 100 students manage their projects. I have no idea what's in store but my example idea is students sourcing the fabric, tailoring, printing, shipping, marketing and sales of a class t-shirt to learn about globalization. My thought is that it'll be most effective if something can let me manage it like a business where the "product" is ultimately student outcomes. So does it have the ability to list 100 individuals, their projects, all those project resources, and the outcomes that those projects help meet? My nearest alternative is going to be some kind of terrible cumbersome excel database.

How does wunderlist compare to things? Things seems perfect, but it's not available for windows. I need something that I can use on my iphone, ipad, and Windows desktop. That seems to limit my options. What I like about things is how can you can have separate categories for like active tasks, someday tasks, and then individual projects. Can Wunderlist do this? Otherwise I might just use Things, and manage everything from my phone and ipad. Megasabin fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Sep 24, 2014 |

I used to use Things, now I use Wunderlist. They're about the same for what I need it for, with Wunderlist actually being a bit better in terms of sharing lists.

Another app I use in addition to Things is Anylist. I use it mostly for a shared grocery list with my SO and other shopping and trip packing lists. It does a pretty good job organizing your grocery list into categories (meats, dairy, produce, etc) making shopping a little more efficient.

My fiancé and I use the aptly named Shopping List. You can categorize, add unit prices, separate out the lists by store, sync with multiple users, etc.. Usually she adds to the list and I get a notification that lets me know I need to make a stop on the way home from work.

You can disable the suggestions and the Bing™ Web Search or whatever and it will just return to the same old iOS 7-style spotlight with just a blurred-out homescreen and the search bar at the top.

I have a notification badge on Hangouts but no unread messages in the app or anything in gmail. How the gently caress do I get rid of it? Why is there still no "clear notifications" button?

Crosspostin' from the AT&T thread: I've been using DataMan Pro to track data usage on my iPhone, and it has been absolutely fantastic. However I now have an iPad on the same AT&T Mobile Share plan. DataMan doesn't support any kind of syncing or sharing across devices (I asked the dev). Is there an elegant solution to tracking shared data usage across two devices?

My only qualm is that it sometimes overestimates my usage by a little bit, which I suppose is better than it underestimating.

It's not mentioned anywhere, so I'm guessing that the answer is no, but will marvin sync reading position between devices, or is Kindle still the only app that will do that?

If you sync it with Dropbox, then yes it will. I mean, between an iPad or an iPhone. It won't sync with your Kindle or whatever.

It uses dropbox to save some files that keep track of this. If the device running Marvin can talk to dropbox over the internet then it can sync reading positions.

I've been having this same issue on 7.1.2 and haven't upgraded yet. I think it might be a hardware issue but I took it to the apple store and they couldn't replicate the issue.

 Forecast+ has a very nice looking notification center widget and is $.99. I got it without reading reviews, and it sucks. When you enter a city, it doesn't indicate which state that city is in. Searching "Portland" gets three results, each called "Portland, US". When I search a unique city instead, I get one result but the forecast data is highly suspect. It doesn't match at all with The Weather Channel app, for instance. TWC says tomorrow will be partly cloudy with a high of 73F and a 10% chance of rain. Forecast+ says partly cloudy with a high of 70F and 90% chance of rain. Has anyone found a forecast widget that isn't crap?

How do you figure the data is crap based on comparison to one other weather app? Forecasts even 24 hours out are highly variable and can differ wildly depending on the model and data used. I would stick with it for a few days if you like the widget a lot, and see how the forecasts compare to the actual weather in your area. I'm sure most other weather apps will be updating with widgets fairly soon.

It's a common complaint about the app. I'm not sure where it's pulling its info, but it seems like a major drawback when the one thing the app is supposed to do is done wrong.

True, also I was unaware this is a common complaint about that app. I've just never had weather apps match up perfectly so I tend to just compare their data to what actually happens in my area before passing judgement. Carry on!

Well if the app says it's sunny right now and you look out the window to see clouds, their data is probably suspect. I started using weather.gov earlier this year and though it's kind of lovely on a mobile device, it's been the most accurate I've seen. Hell of a lot better than the crappy yahoo backed weather app that Apple keeps shoveling on us.
