Is there a Duolingo thread yet? Seems like something goons would be into, but it being educational/language/ios/android/game/software I don't know where to look for discussion.

Duolingo is discussed quite frequently in the Spanish and French threads.

There are language learning threads in other sub-forums.

I'm sure the proper threads would have Duolingo offered in the OP.

If the app decides to work right, the Apple Store is offering Camera+ for free.

Note that it's the Apple Store app, and not the App Store app. It's a seperate app.

It's US only (word is, you can change your region to get it), iPhone/iPod only (can't get it on your iPad), and iOS 8 only (you should be able to get it using iTunes, to save for when you update).

If you don't have the Apple Store app installed, open the App Store on your iPhone, then search for and install Apple Store.

Once that's done, open Apple Store, tap on Stores at the bottom of the screen, and scroll down a little. You'll see the Camera+ icon. Tap the text below it, then tap the green Download now for free bar at the bottom of the screen.

This will give you a popup saying you're going to the App Store. Tap continue. The App Store will open, and the code will already be filled in. Tap Redeem in the top right corner to install Camera+.

Of course, it's at this point you have to hope it works. A lot of people (myself included) have been getting codes that say they've already been redeemed. I can't get it to generate a new code, or accept the one it gave me, no matter what internet advice I've tried.

Good luck!

(And if you already own the app, I'll be happy to take your code. Maybe that will work for me...)

It was always like, five bucks (or something)? I kept thinking, "Nah it won't let me do more than I do now." But now even the 5S camera is legit enough to benefit. I mean, it shoots at 2000 ISO with 1/2s exposure and looks like this:



And I wasn't trying to hold it still! The 6+ must be awesome.

Okay, yeah. If you've been getting the "code already redeemed", quit both the app store and apple apps, then re-do it.

In other news, Camera+ is pretty ace.

SwiftKey if you want to pay nothing. Swype if you want to pay a dollar.

I'm using Swiftkey and its pretty buggy. Sometimes it causes my Messages to freeze up and I have to close it through the multitask menu and reopen Other times it'll register keystrokes half the time, and I have to close and re-open messages again. This is with all the latest 8.1

Its nothing gamebreakinig as it happens once or twice a day. But it's still annoying.

I forgot to mention that SwiftKey is my only keyboard. That might be the reason why I'm not having any problems with it. When I had the default keyboard installed along with it, this happened all the time. So I uninstalled it and kept just SwiftKey.

Nope, still does it when I have Swiftkey as the only active keyboard in settings. This is not a new problem for me, I'm just a little sad it's still a thing in 8.1. :smith:
