Crystal was a trap. The guy has been receiving poo poo loads of negative feedback because he wants to whitelist some ads.

Which is not a bad thing in and of itself. Known-good ad providers are fine to whitelist if you want (he's apparently going to make it an option) but from what I'd heard, he was going to be taking payments to allow ads through and wasn't willing to divulge the details of deals, which seems sketchy.

Why aren't you guys using Purify? It's on sale for one cheeseburger and I haven't really had any issues with it. Although it's not as customizable compared to something like 1Block.

Does the new Tweetbot have a night mode or theming of some sort? That pure-white screenshot looks like it would be un-useable for me.
It has it in the current version, and even has a function to automatically switch based on the screen brightness.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
What Acceptable Ads is that you pay a third party to evaluate your ads are unobtrusive. If they are, they're added to a list shared by some of the ad blockers.

Banner ads are okay. Full screen covering ads are annoying. onClick popup ads are a sure fire way to make sure I never visit the site again.

Ads survived VHS, TiVo, popup blockers, and ABP. They'll survive Crystal and Purify.

Ah, that's good. Only have an iPad right now, so stuck with the ancient 2012 version (and stopped using it).

Is AppShopper finally dead? Alerts work but the content of the app won't update, showing the same lists of week+ outdated information whenever I refresh.

Oh no :ohdear: If that's true, I'll probably never check my news feed on the Facebook app again. I'll only keep it around for notifications.

I used Paper when it first dropped and liked it but then I quit using it when I realized it didn't have a proper Most Recent feed. Does it have one now?

I find paper cumbersome to use as just an alternate feed. It's strength is in stories / articles.

I really like SwiftKey but iOS support for third party keyboards is not very good so I often don't even bother.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Maybe it was just a temporary glitch?

Are there any good 3rd party apps that let you check your Facebook news feed? I'd gladly shell out a few bucks for an app that consistently did not gently caress up like the official Facebook app does.

TouchPal I find to be pretty good because of the easy access to punctuation. My only gripe is that they don't have a UK English dictionary yet, just US English and over a foreign languages. Once it has UK English and Japanese support I'll be over the moon.

It has used 8% of my battery in the past 24 hours. For comparison, Overcast has used 36% and Music 19%. Seems fine to me? Try turning off background app refresh and location services for it, maybe.

I have background app refresh off for the Facebook app. I also use my work computer for Facebook between 9am and about 4 or 5pm. And mostly use my iPad once I get home.

Facebook has used 30% of my battery in the last 24 hours and 29% in the last 4 days.
