E: drat apparently that sale ended today. I'm still gonna pick it up because it's gonna look great on my 6+ I just know it

Yahoo Weather is the best weather app and it uses WU.

What's a good app with basic Photoshop-like features for iPhone? Pixelmator looks good but it's just for iPad. Right now I just need something that lets me blur out portions of a picture, but I'd rather get a general-purpose image editor that can do that than a one-trick app.

Use Aviary. It has blurring as well as basically all the adjustments.

It doesn't have layers or stacks or masking though.

BeWeather also uses Weather Underground for it's weather information.

Apparently it's the same price too. One happens to have a cool spinny globe though.

I like it, thanks for the recommendation! I don't see myself needing layers or anything, although I do wish it had masking. The blur tool will get the job done though.

It might be worth noting that its huge collection of in-app purchases are all free until January 5th if anyone else is interested.

I'm a grad student and I just got an iPad and I'm looking for apps for reading (and organizing and taking notes on) journal articles (almost always a pdf). A friend suggested goodreader but I was wondering if anyone else had suggestions. Ideally I would like to be able annotate, as well as sort based on either year or author (if it can automatically generate that information that would be a plus as usually the default file names from the various websites are rather useless). Anyone have any ideas?

Sente is the best solution I have found and I was 100% satisfied with it. I still heaved everything over into BibDesk for drag/drop citation when writing my dissertation, but Sente was my workflow for reading/annotating articles. Papers app was what I originally used but jumped poo poo when it came time to get serious since it was still pretty janky in terms of sync and annotation. Sente has excellent auto-scan for picking up metadata.

In that it is using WeatherUnderground API or whatever, does it tell me weather in my hood (local neighborhood weather station) much as WeatherUnderground does?

LivingEarth and Yahoo Weather don't have a way to drill down to the PWS level as far as I can tell. Entering the station codes doesn't do it, anyway.

I'd imagine it has to do with mail server's being 3rd party run and nothing to do with Apple. But yeah, Apple should be able to note when you've at least read a message with the Mail.app on OSX and have that reflect in iOS. Maybe they tried and it was too buggy, maybe Apple is a piece of poo poo lately. Maybe gently caress you?

Paper still handles messaging in app and doesn't nag me to get messenger. It still savages your battery life though.

I actually re-downloaded the app to check out of curiosity (I've been using BeWeather) and I notice Yahoo Weather has prominent ads now. Booooo Yahoo Weather.

I wouldn't say Camera+ is the gold standard so much as it has simply snowballed in popularity to the point where no one can catch up in name recognition. ProCamera 8 is one example of a much more versatile and powerful camera app. There are several others if you look.

Camera + is a slow piece of horse poo poo. Don't use it is my recommendation.

645 PRO is dope, like I've mentioned in the past.

AvgCamPro, Slow Shutter, Filterstorm, Snapseed, photo fx, Snapseed, Facetune, VSCOcam, and PhotoStudio are some of my favorite photo taking and editing apps.

Oh and buy Hipstamatic and all the films and lenses cause it takes amazing photos too.

When I had an iPhone my goto camera was Camera+, It was simple to use. I was moving towards Laminar Pro. Occasionally using Camera Awesome, VSCOcam and Perfectly Clear. Try them all find the one that fits best. And be happy that you're not living in the hellscape that is Android Cameras like I am now.
