Disappointing Pie posted:I used Pocket Casts for ages but switched to Overcast and I love it. It even has a web app that stays synced with your apps. Holy crap I didn't even know this and I've been using Overcast for a while. This is amazing. I just wish the app had chapter support and would display the entire description.

PocketCast web syncs your play spot but you have to pony up $10 for it. I am not switching from PocketCast because Overcast's webplayer is somehow worse than PocketCast's.

bronin posted:Are there any other apps like "out of milk" out there? I just need a simple app for grocery lists that I can share with my girlfriend so we can both add and cross off items. Its more than a grocery list, but my girlfriend and I use paprika and its great. We plan out the weeks meals and when she gets home before me, she can see what we are making that night on the calendar and start doing the prep work before I get home. It costs s few bucks but it has really come in handy, and it has the shopping list functionality you are looking for to.

iKeyWi and a jailbreak is more stable than any legit keyboard mod I've used, yet and ikeywi isn't even officially supported in ios 8  I think you're out of luck.

I was actually about to say, I really like nintype most of the time, but it seems randomly buggy as poo poo (usually with orientation switches, quick replies from the lockscreen, etc) I can't tell if it's a failing of the app itself, or just issues with apple's handling of third-party keyboards.

SwiftKey has basically become my default. It's the best. Minuum is okay, but it tends not to autocorrect when you want it to. For some reason Swype seemed like night to SwiftKey's day. I hated it. I have that weird spaceman looking keyboard on app shopper for a price drop. If it's got as big of a learning curve as people say, I'm not willing to invest 5 bone.

ICHIBAHN posted:Any stable, reliable apps out there yet? Swype and SwiftKey are dogshit still. The reason third party keyboards feel unreliable are due to issues with iOS, and nothing on that end has changed yet. It is usable, but you will get obnoxious delays in switching keyboards and in the keyboard launching in situations like spotlight, with every keyboard.

Anybody know of a good to-do app that supports handwriting? This is all I could find and the dev has a dead website but I might try it for 3$. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/manage-handwriting-to-do-task/id384312640?mt=8 None of the digital to-do lists has ever worked for me like writing poo poo down but it sure would be nice to have modern digital to-do list features thrown into the mix.

Like you can fill the calendar with whatever recipes you wanna do that day? That's neat, might make me buy it. E: Just checked it out on the store and apparently it does. It's just not universal but I guess it'll still synch between iPad and iPhone. Zwille fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Dec 9, 2014 |

Not a library as much as a custom search engine and parsing support for most popular recipe sites. It's like pocket for recipes (reformatting them to be awesome) + a calendar + a grocery list app. All of these features also work together very well and sync by account. What I mean is you can find recipes for pancakes on allrecipes, save it so it's formatted by ingredient, directions and nutrition, then add milk from the recipe to your grocery list when you see that you're low. I don't use the calendar function much.

tuyop posted:Easiest is maybe to share a reminder list, in the stock reminders app. Personally, I find the autocomplete to be really useful in dedicated grocery apps. You usually only have to type a few letters, and it can also fill in the category like produce. We use AnyList, but I think any one with a canned list of ingredients would be pretty useful. (AnyList is $8 a year for all the features, which seems a bit pricey to me, but it works fine if you don't pay.)

Jedi Knight Luigi posted:SwiftKey has basically become my default. It's the best. And I assume you mean Nintype by spaceman looking keyboard. The learning curve isn't too bad for just typing at least, I'm still getting better at it but I generally got the gist from the little tutorial and just typing random stuff out. Basically just think of it as a tap and/or swipe keyboard with both fingers, simultaneously if you want (side note: it kinda fucks you up on other keyboards once you're used to it). It kinda seems easier the less you think about it and just go, at least until you gently caress up really bad on a quick swipe and forget to type some key letters of the word with the opposite hand. I think the main issue is just remembering the shortcuts to little stuff, like swipe down on V is comma and down-M is period (I think), and a bunch of stuff like that on top of the other gesture and menu commands. Non typing action wise, there's a shitload of settings (which you may or may not need to ever bother with) and they're all within the keyboard itself (to avoid the full access thing), so it can be annoying to mess with them. I've tweaked some stuff to my liking and left a bunch alone cause hell if I know what they do. And something a few people would be interested in since it's come up before, it supports multiple dictionaries simultaneously. Adding to the dictionary is simple too from what I can tell, just type something out slowly enough and it'll add once you hit space, it also shows a little "+yourword" thing on the spacebar as you're typing like that.

Ok I've had Ecoute got a couple of days and I must say it's fantastic. Great app. Especially as it was free. Download it now, especially if it's gratis. Side note, is there any way to change how mp3 files are opened on the iPhone? I'd love to make Ecoute my default music player. Probably one for the jailbreak thread I expect.

I originally posted this in the wrong thread - apologies. Simply, I want to be able to build video playlists on my iPod Touch (5) again. I used to be able to natively, but an OS upgrade a year or two back did away with that. Then I tried MVP Player which cost me $3, but it was splendid until, you guessed it, an update cocked it up. I have nearly 400 short videos that I simply want to be able to play, in random order, with my iPod in landcape. Any suggestions? Rather frustrated. Edit: .mp4 format, if it matters.

First of all, the design is very nice, the icon and the name are appealing to me. Second of all, it just does everything I want well; you can post what you're listning to to Twitter and Facebook, queue up songs, read song lyrics. Plus it has a nice interface and does everything Music does (plays songs obviously, searches for stuff, plays audiobooks and podcasts).

Kenny Logins posted:Based on my experience with Scanner Pro since iOS8: work reliably. What is going on with iOS8? Many of my go-to apps have either not been updated yet and suffer from bugs induced by iOS8's changes, or have been updated and nearly broken by those updates. It's not 100% absentee developers either. For instance Trillian has recently proudly announced updates for every platform they'r on... except for iOS. That one hasn't been updated since summer 2013. It works ok on the iPhone, but on my iPad it's all messed up. The message pane is off screen in landscape. There's 3-4 others that I use frequently that are in a similar state and it's getting annoying. I don't recall this big of a mess in the last few iOS version updates. Weird.
