That's one of the issues I alluded too. Sometimes the keyboard disappears entirely and you have to restart the app. Pretty chill.

Yeah, I just had my first hang up this morning oppening facebook messenger. I think it's too soon to tell if this is going to really annoy me or not.

Coming from android I find it incredibly frustrating that iOS hangs up on something that newer android does stock very well. I would think that with it's large user base, and messenger being such a big thing for so long, that someone at Apple would have done this a long time ago.

This all seems to be related to the new keyboard API. Except for "secure" or password fields, it looks like anything that accepts text input is using this new API, regardless of whether a custom keyboard is installed.

Custom keyboards are a brand new thing barely over a month old. Apple never had to worry about it before. Yeah, they probably had issues pop up in the betas, but it should get sorted shortly. Even though it really should have been identified and addressed before general release.

I used to use an app called "Geek News" which would grab headlines from some IT news websites. Sadly the app hasn't been updated for years, and you can't change which sites it looks at for news.

Is there a newer app which does the same thing?

Or Flipboard, Zite, and Circa--all of which have curated sections for Tech that draw from similar if not the same sources. The first two are both basically magazines with different interfaces, Circa allows you to keep updated by stitching together a story from multiple sources and giving you a realtime notification with breaking info on stories you select.

I have some issues with SwiftKey and messages still. It usually won't open unless I switch to another app that will load the keyboard first, and then back to messages.

You could use TeamViewer or Splashtop to remotely control your machine. I use TeamViewer myself although not very often since my home internet speeds are garbage.

OK, try killing both the App Store and Apple Store (double tap Home, and swipe them away), then go into Settings > Services > Privacy > Location Services and turn off Location Services for the Apple Store and try again.

Also, if you're not on iOS 8, then you'll need to redeem the code through iTunes.

Whelp, can't use the Health app anymore for the one thing I actually cared about because the British have to be different and use a slightly different Metric System than everyone else, so Apple has to shut the whole thing down.

Is a pretty graph of my blood sugars too much to ask?

Yes. Yes it is. The other blood sugar tracking apps in the App Store are all for Type-2 fatties, not broken snowflakes like me last I checked.

MyNetDiary has a diabetic version that isn't too bad. I don't know anything about how the British measure everything, but the app handles mg/dL and mmol/L units.

Read the fine print though: they want a subscription to export data. I don't require this so it doesn't bother me but it's probably a deal breaker for most.

Also no healthkit integration, so there's that too.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

In the end, can't you just use an excel spreadsheet to monitor your health? I use it for my lifts, weight, BP and other health factors and easily link it to various forms of ourput of my own design. For most people, it's a way to get use of Excel that they might very well rarely ever use otherwise.

If you enjoy Excel, sure, use it. But it's perfectly reasonable that our pocket computers be able to log data in a sensible manner.

Is Excel not considered sensible? I haven't looked but it wouldn't surprise me at all if there weren't premade Spreadsheets with macros to track health. All you'd have to do is enter the data.

Edit- There are a lot. Here is a good one.. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/blood-sugar-chart-TC006197787.aspx?redir=0

Sorry, guy.
This should be relevant to all you Camera + downloaders. I just got an update for the app that has descriptions about an ultra high resolution TIFF mode that takes up way more space per picture but is good for the really great pictures you want to take. i'm sure they're not liars, but I found it interesting that such a thing existed as part of the camera API or whatever. Do you know if this is really possible or they be bullshitting?

It's really possible, other camera apps do it (and have been doing it for a long time). Hueless and ProCam come to mind but I'm sure there are others.

loving hate the smug update notes that accompany every Camera+ update. Really hope their writer would die in a god drat fire.

The app loving sucks, in my opinion. 645 PRO takes much better pictures, has great options, and I've never had to "edit" a photo taken with it. Its been said in this thread before about 645 PRO, but it takes pictures that make you go, "Wow, I can't believe that was taken with an iPhone."

The interface can be intimidating at first but it's pretty easy to understand once you play with it.
