2 Acompli niggles: 2) Sometimes it hangs a bit trying to open an email from a lock screen swipe, etc... [edit] No idea if it does push or fetch, but I can tell you I just got 3 emails in the span of 5 minutes where my phone dinged the same moment the notification popped up on my gmail on my computer/browser. I've never had it happen that fast before. Feenix fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Oct 6, 2014 |

I can't believe how good Acompli is. Goodbye OWA.app. I just wish it had more granular options for 'focus' content than just the sender address. Unless I'm missing something? I'm sad that it's free, though. It makes it feel like we're on the clock as far as it's useful life.

It feels more cramped to me than mailbox. I like the calendar stuff but in terms of just email it feels a little needlessly complex. Mailbox is super slick and simple I'm just gonna stick with that.

So, what's the go to for filling in PDF forms these days? Ideally free?

Liking Acompli quite a bit so far. It does indeed push gmail, and has appropriate lock screen/notification screen swipe actions. It was bugging me that I couldn't swipe to delete on alerts in the gmail app. Fonts are very clean and everything's got a nice place to it. Calendar is rather nice too for what seems like the secondary/tertiary feature of the app.

It's really more like, "you forgot to put your postal code in this form. Email it back to me ASAP with your postal code." I don't even think it recognizes fields so much as let's you annotate text onto a document.

Can the default weather widget not be turned off independently of the location ETA thing? That's annoying if true. So if I want to keep location ETA and try a custom weather widget, I gotta cram two weather widgets in the Today screen.

Josh Lyman posted:I'm not sure why there's still so much hate for the Podcast app. I haven't had any problems with it. 1) You play your podcast, you sleep the device and keep listening. You hit home, swipe up, and pause (or pause from headphones). An hour or two later? Good chance you can't resume without going all the way back through the app. Overcast doesn't have this problem. 2) Playing a podcast at anything but 1x? Need to unplug your headphone jack? Good chance that the track will play with no sound when you resume, necessitating a force close and restarting the app. Also, the app lost your place. Overcast doesn't have this problem. I also found the "auto-deleting played episodes" function in the stock app to be very spotty. Overcast deletes it as soon as I've played which is what I want. This is all leaving aside Overcast's web interface, which maybe other apps have too. I am very happy with Overcast these days.

I've had this problem with all of the major podcast apps on iphone 6+ -- Downcast, Overcast, and Pocket Casts, so YMMV there. Didn't try apple's podcasts cause I gave it enough chances during a full calendar year.

Will any of the podcast apps "import" any of the data from Apple's podcast app? I'd like to try another app but I have a big backlog and lots of half listened to podcasts that I don't really want to manually redownload and scrub through.

Most will import your subscription lists, but I don't think any will keep track of your backlog or listened/unlistened statuses. What I did when I switched apps was moved over my subscriptions, turned off new downloads in the old app I had been using, and listened to the backlog, letting a new one build up in the new app. When I'd cleared the backlog, I switched over.

The only thing I don't like about Overcast is there are only two states for any podcast: on your device or not. I wish there was some kind of "previously played" status for podcasts that have been listened to and deleted. When you're going through the back catalogue of a podcast it is handy to know at a glance which ones you've heard without having to dive into program descriptions. Otherwise Overcast is great. The Smart Speed is cool (23 hours saved for me) and it stays longer in memory (so I can resume from the control centre) than any other podcast app I've tried. Edit: the push functionality is fantastic as well, which was one of my bigger peeves with Downcast.

I realy like the default podcast app. It downloads new shows, deletes the ones I have listened to, indicates new shows, works with siri "play newest episode of _____". It even lets me pick up where i left off on my desktop when I get home. I guess it doesnt have auto volume, but desired volume is a function of how loud my environment is anyway.

Smart speed sounds awesome but I haven't tried Overcast for exactly these reasons. The most important one for me is Siri compatibility for driving. I wish there were more options to use apps with Siri even though I guess it could mess with security.

Your credentials are stored on their server which retrieves your email and then serves it up to you in their app. That makes me very uncomfortable. No thank you. I really should have been more thorough researching the app before I set it up.

Thirst Mutilator posted:Didn't know this. Added to the OP. I saw it mentioned here, so I hunted all over the site for more information and just found vagueness until I dug it up in their privacy policy. This is literally the only place I saw it mentioned that said, "hey, we have your credentials on tap" quote:Some email accounts (ones that use Microsoft Exchange, for example) also require that you provide your email login credentials, including your username, password, server URL, and server domain. Other accounts (Google Gmail accounts, for example) use the OAuth authorization mechanism which does not require us to access or store your password. I should note, GMail users are in the clear for cached credentials. They still have unfettered access to your email account, and your email is *still* moving over their systems so they can apply the "Focus" algorithm on them. They seriously need to make that more clear in the application description on the App Store. e: added a couple more thoughts. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Oct 7, 2014 |

Yeah, if you use Gmail they use OAuth and they should see nothing but an access token. However that does let them have total access to your email, and probably Hangouts/Gtalk transcripts too, since those show up in a unified mailbox in Gmail. But if I used that for Exchange with my work email, they'd put my head on a pike. I would imagine that for most people who use Exchange, their email credentials are also their Active Directory credentials for logging in on everything else at work. Doesn't matter if the Acompli privacy policy says they won't sell that info, that's not the point. Their credential db is a goldmine for someone who wants to break in and extract logins to use on attacks elsewhere.

so If we signed up with the app but then changed our mind and deleted the app what do we need to do to make sure they no longer have access, just change our email password?

Depends on which accounts you linked. Login to Gmail and revoke their access through Account Settings. Change your iCloud or Dropbox/Box passwords. Did you delete/erase the accounts within the app before deleting the app?

If you removed the account from within the app before you deleted it, according to them (at least from what I *think* it said in the privacy statement) it will remove your stuff from their servers. Regardless, change your password so ongoing access is denied. Additionally, if you use Exchange remove the Active Sync client in your OWA settings called "Acompli".
