Yeah, that's right.
It's a newspaper I despise and the news app algorithm is throwing up a few articles from it because it is one of the available publications in Australia even though it's not favourited.
I'd like to know if there's a way to remove it from the app, a way to say 'never show me articles from this again'.

There's a Mute Channel button in the share sheet menu inside articles, not signposted very well but it does work.

It does kinda make sense, otherwise people will be able to send replies from your device pretending it's from you. Does it ask you for Touch ID authentication or anything?

Whatsapp is the de facto standard app for messaging in most European countries. So unless you only have friends with iPhones you use Whatsapp. There are lots of mobile plans without unlimited texts so why throw money at your carrier if you don't have to.

All my European friends use WhatsApp, yeah.

Wondering if anyone can give an app recommendation, or point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for an app that will take voice dictation, turn it into a text entry and automatically add a timestamp, and store it in some sort of text file that can be (not necessarily automatically) transferred to either a cloud folder or emailed or something (to eventually get it on a computer).

Bonus points if it can work through Siri.

I don't think any non-Apple app can integrate with Siri.

Nobody in my country really texts anymore, every carrier basically gives them away but everyone just uses Facebook or WhatsApp so it's very rare to get a green bubble these days

If you want it to be able to notify you of upcoming rain in your area without having to open the app, yeah.

Also if anyone knows, does turning on the barometer reporting drain the battery much? I'd love to be able to send back data if it genuinely will improve the already-drat-good hyperlocal reports, but not if it'll kill my battery or data usage. Similarly, is that kind of reporting more or less useless when you're indoors? I know nothing about weather other than rain being kinda wet.

Yes, including from me. Both of us came over from Android, and IIRC there was some kerfuffle about iMessage and moving to/from Android, so it could be vestiges of that.

In the Scheduled view in the stock app there's a separator between days and you can still mark things done in that view, if that's helpful at all.

Can you dictate mail or a note to yourself? Well I just tested out "send an email to myself" and "make a note" and they seemed to work. Email takes a few steps though, since I have a few emails under my contact, then subject, then the email content. Notes just went to the content, but the time stamp is only in the list view...and will change if you edit the note at all. It did put it in my local notes folder though, I think there's a setting for that but I'm not sure, plus I'm still using the older note format (since I haven't updated my Macs to El Cap yet) so I'm not sure if there's any difference for the new one with regards to dictation.

Never got that far because shorty after I posted it's all been working perfectly. I'm inclined to agree that it was some data connection issue (which she always has) and so a couple of things got sent/received as regular sms or something.

japtor posted:

Possibly, but this is the kind of thing I'd want to record maybe 50-200 entries per day, so fudging inconvenience gets multiplied. I've considered the note thing and maybe just saying the time before the actual "note", but would rather not have to do that. Or just creating a dummy contact and sending it texts (which I assume would add a time stamp, and I'd figure out the exporting thing later).

Mostly just wondering if anyone had heard of a canned solution to this. A non-exhaustive App Store search for things like "journal" and "log/logging" didn't bring up anything obvious.

What's the best alternative for iSSH now? I love iSSH, it's still on my iPad Generation 1 (literally the first iPad), but I've since bought another, newer iPad and was hoping for a recommendation. Googling shows a few popular ones (Prompt, vSSH, and Reflection) just to name a few. But I was curious if anyone has any real hands-on experience/recommendations? :cheers:

I connect to a bunch of AIX boxes and use vSSH. I use Reflection on the desktop, and their iOS app seems decent, but the sweet unix friendly keyboard (pipes) of vSSH is hard to beat. And I always "set -o vi" so a handy esc key is nice.

It's not so much as it was pulled, per se, it's more that the developer stopped developing so it started breaking on all new iOS iterations. I'm glad I still have it on my iPad 1. With that being said, everyone in this thread is recommending something different, just like Google :v: I'm going to give Prompt a shot and see what happens, i guess :shobon:

by the way, Ecoute is a pretty great little music app that has Shuffle by Albums (i.e., play an entire album, then randomly select a different album, repeat). It's pretty great. No idea about the other features since that's basically the only feature I care about in a music player, but for $1 it seems excellent.

As I go along converting all my eBooks into Kindle format and uploading them one by one to Amazon's storage, I must ask: do any of the eBook apps for iOS have iCloud Drive support? As in, do they make an app-specific folder the way the iWork apps and Pixelmator do, that I can dump DRM-free ebooks into and they'll show up in the app? If they also synced location between devices that would be great, but it isn't necessary.

I wish iBooks would do this, given that it can read EPUB and all, but oh well. I looked at Marvin and it has a Dropbox-based implementation of this idea, but I don't want to use Dropbox. It feels like iCloud Drive should be able to do this.
