Contingency Plan posted:Is there some way to stop the Twitter app from automatically jumping to the most recent tweet in your feed? It's really annoying to open the app after an hour or two, have it jump up, then have to scroll down so I can resume reading chronologically. Honestly, if you have any problems with the official app, your best best is to just use one of the two far better apps: Twitterrific or Tweetbot.

xzzy posted:So apparently Apple has brought in Trent Reznor to help redesign Apple Music. I have no idea how he's qualified to help out with such a task, but I guess we'll find out eventually. Honestly the problem with Apple Music imo isn't that it's not intuitive or the look/feel. For me it was failing on me two times in times I depended on it to work, including one time when I explicitly saved some albums to listen to on a 8 hour plane ride only to find out on the plane that "I couldn't access my (saved) music with airplane mode turned on and without a data connection." Like what the hell. I know for every complaint like me there are approx 42-69 other people saying shrug it worked fine for them but the fact that it can happen at all is unacceptable.

I honestly haven't had any trouble with this in like 10 years of Apple music stuff ownership (Apple Music kills ipod classics btw). And now with Apple Music it's just like, hear a cool song, search for it in music.app and click add. It's really kickass.

All I know is that they both offer ~30 million tracks and that I was able to find almost every single one of my hundreds of albums, many quite obscure, on both Spotify and Apple Music. Nobody but you is going to be able to tell you whether it's better for your specific library. As far as your playlists, did you actually search manually for the stuff it couldn't find? I suspect that whatever hacked-up third-party solution for transferring playlists from one service to another probably didn't find everything, even if it's available.

Yeah, I've just tried checking it out and a large percentage of music from my playlists on Spotify isn't on Apple Music at all. Not even that the artists didn't put some songs there, but that the artists just don't exist on AM. O'll give it a go a bit later if it improves.

Sorry to resurrect a recent topic, but is there something wrong with Dashlane? I had been using it and didn't see many problems. I was just thinking of subscribing when I read this thread. Instead, I started shifting everything over to 1password but stopped because I wasn't sure why Dashlane wasn't recommended. Am I missing something?

Dashlane isn't as good as paprika, overcast, or whatsapp so it gets passed over. But seriously, it's just not as popular as 1Password or LastPass. A password manager isn't that crazy of an app and the only things distinguishing the big two are business model and minor UI differences so why wouldn't you go with the one of those you prefer like everyone else except the spergiest Linux weirdo who must use keepass? But if you want, use dashlane. I'm sure it's just fine.

Question about the Friendly App, the Facebook alternative thingy. When using this in conjunction with Swiftkey - having granted Swiftkey full access - Friendly forces me to use the old rubbish keyboard. I seem to remember a way to use both of them in conjunction but can't figure it out. Anyone know? I've had a look through both apps' settings & Googled it but had no success. Cheers babies.

What the hell, google. https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/gboard-search-gifs-emojis-keyboard.html A keyboard with embedded google searching. I mean, the concept is kind of cool, they're kind of forcing multitasking into iOS, but given that keyboards in iOS can log every single key you enter, I really don't think hooking it up to a search engine is all that great an idea.

It's very good, feels as if it better recognizes what I'm swiping than the Microsoft one. Really doing a bang up job of making me happy I switched from Android when they keep bringing my favorite things over. Just get force touch (or whatever it's called) on the third party keyboards with haptic feedback and I'll be happy as a clam.

they also address privacy concerns in the app description itself, so... Privacy We know the things you type on your phone are personal, so we’ve designed Gboard to keep your private information private. What Gboard sends to Google: • When you do a search, Gboard sends your query to Google’s web servers so Google can process your query and send you search results. • Gboard also sends anonymous statistics to Google to help us diagnose problems when the app crashes and to let us know which features are used most often. What Gboard doesn’t send to Google: • Everything else. Gboard will remember words you type to help you with spelling or to predict searches you might be interested in, but this data is stored only on your device. This data is not accessible by Google or by any apps other than Gboard.

Unfortunately, the force touch API isn't really available to 3p keyboards. Try scrubbing left/right on the space-bar to move the cursor around - it's a decent stand-in.

Hey that may actually work better! I found that the force touch to be a bit picky, sometimes it would fire up but others it wouldn't depending on if I was at the end of what I typed or in the middle... Couldn't dial it in totally. But that space bar scrub is dang near perfect.

Kind of? OS 9 is leagues better than 8, but they still suffer from draconian memory limits and a messy keyboard API. Instances of the keyboard getting randomly replaced by the stock one or other such annoyances occur less frequently and can be further mitigated by trimming your active keyboard list. Basically try it out, you may be surprised! Or not, depending.

Its gesture typing is so much better than Swype or Word Flow, at least in my experience. It just seems to get what I intended to type more often.
