I'm like an old man when it comes to podcasts apps and can't figure out how to get one that just downloads episodes when I tell it to and does nothing automatically. Like I'm pretty sure that's doable in Overcast but I just turn into an idiot when trying to use it.

Not sure if you can set this as the global default, but you can just make it a habit for any time there's a new show you want to start listening to.

Ahh I don't think I realized that was a per podcast setting and like 2 out of 10 still had it on. I think I'm good now, thanks!

Am I the only one who feels a lag when using gboard? It's not huge, but enough to put me off. That along with the autocorrect not firing as much (possibly related to the lag) and the image search not working properly when I tried to use it has essentially killed it for me. I've tried 4-5 different occasions and apps, and same result each time.

Bro, Goodreader is still really good. All other PDF readers pale, and my academic wife tells me that it has one feature none others have - being able to email only highlighted or notated sections of a PDF, instead of sending the entire PDF.

Related to PDFs, if I want to load a few dozen PDFs onto an ipad and read them on a plane (no network connection), what's the best way to do this in TYOOL 2016? A couple years ago, it was google drive but you had to manually select each PDF to store locally instead of doing things in a batch operation. Is there an app that does this in a user friendly manner yet? I got 3 dozen PDFs burning a hole in my PC's Downloads folder that need to be sync'd to the ipad.

Open the zip file using Goodreader, unzip it within Goodreader. Finished.

Or throw them in a folder on dropbox/drive/whatever and just sync the folder.

Nevermind, I just found a free and easier way to do it. Dropped the PDFs into itunes, sync them over to ipad as books, open in iBooks. Locally saved on ipad and the reader is good. No email, $, etc., required. This is apparently a new thing compared to years ago in itunes/ibooks.

Same, but I think I used it once to download some long audio-only youtubes and listen to them since doing that through Safari was janky. Maybe someday I'll discover its hidden potential.

pdfexpert dominates goodreader if you're not a loving crazy person who needs like whatever 3 ridiculously obscure features goodreader can do and just need to read/markup pdfs. I say this as a humanities phd student, so you know i'm reading like 70000 pdfs a year.

As a not-student, I agree with PDF Expert for PDF annotation. Especially with the Pro + Pencil. I got the OS X version too, but I almost never use it. It's always so much easier to fire it up on the iPad Pro, but it is nice that it will use iCloud, so my annotation are available on my rMB. I'm not going through your volume, but I do deal with a fairly hefty amount of PDFs.

Is it possible to record video and have the recording stored on the cloud and not on the device? Then, is it possible to record while the app is not open? And would it be possible to control playback of other things while the app is recording?

I bought good reader my first semester of my masters and switched to PDF expert the second and never looked back. So much better. Curious about Mendeley vs PDF expert though. It seems like it could be perfect for research. I'm going to use it for some of my independent studies I guess.

To the first one, yes BUT I've no idea how the process for this works, you can set iOS devices to only store low resolution versions of stuff on your device until the full version is needed but iOS does this "automatically" and I don't think there's any way of manually doing it. To the second, nope.

I actually use Papers for organizing my own research. I looked at Mendeley when I first started my program and actually forget why I ended up choosing Papers over it, but it syncs with Dropbox (this might be why I chose Papers), has both an iOS and Mac app, and has worked great for me in the couple years I've been using it.

I’ve been trying to find a Goodreader upgrade for a while. Does PDF expert allow (1) custom color highlights where I can define the color rather than picking from a preset list, (2) Dropbox folder syncing, and (3) highlighting the actual text (rather than a “marker” over the top)?

The desktop version allows custom hues. 2) Yes. If you have OS X, the native iCloud is superior. But you can use Dropbox or Box for syncing as well. 3) Yes? (not sure what "marker over the top" means). It looks like a physical hi-lighter would on a paper document.

The joke's on you. There is no such thing as a GoodReader upgrade. Just a more expensive side grade that they charge you for again every time there's a major iOS update.

If you highlight in Adobe Reader/Preview, some PDF readers can search the text of those annotations specifically. A couple PDF apps have highlighters which make an image layer on top of the text rather than annotating the text itself (which is of course what happens in real paper highlighting, but also can’t be searched). I ended up buying this, and (on the off chance someone else has the same weird question): PDF Expert does handle highlighting such that they can be searched and the syncing is great.

This seems related, so I'll piggy-back on here. I was just reading this morning about an android app that will automatically record an hour of a/v in the background, then dump it if it's not manually saved. There's no iOS version of that particular app, but is there anything that will even come close to that functionality? Failing that, any way to keep a fairly persistent audio-log running on an iPhone? Or is the solution to just buy a pocket-recorder?
