I use Tweetbot, but Twitterific is good too.

Just saying, it's a ticking timebomb until Twitter forces the sponsored tweets on the APIs as well.

Does anyone use iCloud photos and Dropbox camera upload? I have both turned on, and it seems that Dropbox is uploading duplicates of old photos repeatedly.

I wonder if it's re-uploading when a full sized picture gets downloaded onto the phone via iCloud photos?

I should probably just turn off Dropbox camera upload, but it is useful for sharing.

I have both on and it has caused no problems. I also upload to OneDrive without issue.

I did notice that if I turned it on on my iPad, I'd get duplicates in Dropbox, but with it only on my phone I have no issue.

Are there any PDF readers that will sync position across devices? I've got an iPad at home, one at work, and my iPhone that I'd like to read a large technical PDF on, but I don't want to have to keep remembering where I left off on each device.

Yes. And PDFs can now be synced through iCloud.

I'm not sure if there's a way to do it from your phone directly but I've loaded plenty of PDFs onto iCloud from my Macbook Air.

I really like AnyList for grocery shopping. It'll automatically group things by category and lets you set favourites so you don't need to type out anything you buy regularly. There's a whole web / meal planning premium component too but I've never had reason to try it.

Not sure about other apps, but if you just use Reminders and make a list called "Grocery" you can tell Siri "add <thing> to my grocery list".

I like "Our Groceries" - It allows you to sync with another phone/user - It's pretty handy.

Strongly seconded.

Also, it offers list sharing that syncs instantaneously. Like, amazingly instantaneous.

Oh and you can resort the grocery categories so that they match your own local grocery store and your normal path through it. It's one of those things that seems so small but now it's the (second, instant syncing is seriously phenomenal) best part of the app.

I like Bring! because it has a fairly robust watch app.

I can also share the list for my partner when he goes out shopping.

Is there an app that lets you check off all the subscription services you have access to, and browse their respective movie catalogs in a unified search? And going one step further, is there such an app that lets you add your own video collection as well?

Use case scenario - my wife wants to watch a romantic comedy when we get home. She pulls up the app, selects a genre filter, and sees results from Netflix, HBO Go, and my own blu-ray collection. That sort of thing.

No. In theory, an application could do this, but it would necessitate a shitload of manual labor - tracking what each streaming service classifies as what genre (and dealing with poo poo like "Is a romantic comedy a specific category, or a subset of romances? What about dramedy's? etc) and manually dealing with each streaming service's search functions (if it's exposed to 3rd party requests at all!). But I think the biggest blocker is you'd need to pass your login information for each service to a 3rd party developer, and I cannot see that flying with Apple and the App Store policy.

The theoretical app would just provide a list though, like instantwatcher.com . No need for an individual's login info.

You might want to look at an app called FanTV. Not sure if it does a genre search, but if you search for a movie/show, it'll tell you which services it's available on, and if you have that service's app installed, you can open it by clicking in the FanTV app to watch it.

Autodesk sketchbook supports layers, another big app from a famous desktop art developer.

Procreate is astounding, and supports layers.

Pixelmator is good too, it's as close to proper desktop photoshop on the app store.
