Just a quick summary so some of you can save the time opening the App Store and spending precious megabytes, from what I can see the widget is rather large and not customizable, so if those are your needs (they are mine), pass on it.

I'm sure a lot of folks moved on to other apps but If you've stuck with it now's a good time to open it for (probably) the first time in months. Widget isn't sluggish garbage anymore either. Does it track television shows yet????

Hey what do all you Patrick Bateman wannabes use to keep track of people's raised lettering, pale nimbus, white, business cards? I've been getting a lot of them at my new job and somehow I think I can do better than just taking a photo of them and throwing them in my drawer. Well, I can do better than the photo part. They're still going to end up in my drawer.

Evernote Scannable is pretty cool, and doesn't necessarily require Evernote as a service. You can send images out of it to anything that supports the iOS 8 share system. It's really cool at distilling the data in business cards in one quick step and can add the info to your contacts on your phone if you want. If you do use Evernote it'll save a copy of the card image and also extract other data that Contacts can't save (linkedin urls, twitter handles, etc), save that in a searchable notebook, and keep that info out of your phone's contact list.

I'm trying to email a video I shot with my iPhone to a relative, but my phone is complaining that the video is too long and that I need to trim it. I know I can just use dropbox, which I plan to do, but I thought that one of the magic and revolutionary new features in iOS 8 was to be able to automatically send attachments of arbitrary size use iCloud Drive. Am I crazy or is something not working right?

I don't have my Mac with me, but I went to icloud.com and tried using the mail button in iCloud photos and it complained that the video wasn't under 20MB so maybe it's not available in Canada or something. Dropbox to the rescue.

Can anyone tell me how to change the wunderground widget to display Celsius instead of Fahrenheit? I've changed it in the app but the widget isn't updating. Edit: several hours later it's updated itself. It might have been due to a phone restart Lady Gaza fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Apr 22, 2015 |

So out of Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive, which has the most robust iOS app? Things like sharing integration, password protection, notifications/widgets, etc...? I'm using an android phone but my next will likely be an iPhone, and I'd like to cut out the step of downloading and checking out each one.

They're actually all pretty good. Pretty sure they all support TouchID. Dropbox seems to have the most iOS integration.

They're actually all quite good, though I prefer Dropbox because of the more frequent (I guess this is the word I want here) integration with other applications. Everyone seems to support Dropbox, while you'll occasionally find Drive and OneDrive unsupported. I actually also really like Carousel for my photos. This is such a nerd thing, but with auto-upload and Hazel running on my Mac to organize them inside of folders according to date, I've built quite an archive, and I prefer Carousel quite a bit (their implementation of albums and sharing is really great) over browsing photos through the OneDrive app. I will say, though, OneDrive is by far the best deal of the group, especially if you're a student. MSOffice+OneDrive for 4-years for $80 is pretty crazy.

New files that I upload from my computer don't show up on either my iPad or iPhone unless I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It's really rather annoying.

I now use OneDrive for personal stuff (I got 1TB with my Office365 sub) and my corporate box.com account for work.

A highlight in a text in Goodreader syncs and it's on all the devices I care to check as soon as the new version of the text downloads. For things like YNAB, it's nearly instant.

I'm using an android phone but my next will likely be an iPhone, and I'd like to cut out the step of downloading and checking out each one. They're all good in all those ways. I don't see any reason to limit yourself to one, we could give a better recommendation if you told us the sort of thing you plan to do that needs cloud storage on your phone. Do you use MS Office constantly with OneDrive poo poo on your computer and need these things with you at all times? OneDrive is good for that. And a huge amount of cheap or free storage. Google Drive is good but has weird app switching stuff (open a doc in Drive, get taken to the Docs app  )Dropbox is just a folder with limited collaboration options within iOS, but it has the most support for syncing among services. Personally, I've edited docs on an iPhone 5S many times in Google Docs, and it wasn't painful except when dealing with tables. I almost never open Dropbox unless I'm sending someone a link to a large file, but every app that needs it syncs that way, which isn't very many on my phone these days. I've never used OneDrive for anything on my phone, and I haven't found any reason to use it much over Google Drive on my iPad except for integration with my Windows work machines and word documents with very specific formatting.

Saw the recommended podcast apps in the OP, can anyone vouch for any of them? I use "Network" at the moment and it's crap. I don't use mobile broadband so I want something where I can easily download podcasts to listen to outside of home.

I've been using Pocket Casts for months now and love it except for one thing: there's one podcast I listen to where I've listened to most of its episodes but not all of them, so I tried to mark the ones I'd already listened to and just download periodically from the unmarked ones since that would mean I hadn't listen to them. The only way to do this in the app is to favorite them (at least, I think), and sometimes it seems like the favorite stars just disappear on some episodes for seemingly no reason so I'll have to go back and favorite them again if I'm sure I've listened to them already. That's annoying as poo poo and seems like it should work better than that.

Overcast has a really bad problem of forgetting whenever I re-order my playlist of what's coming next and just spit it back into chronological order, but otherwise I like it.

This annoys me to no end, but I like the app enough that I deal with it anyhow. I find that if you force close the app after re-ordering and re-open it, it will maintain the new playlist order.
