Quantum of Phallus posted:Pushbullet equivalent - doesn't exist any more, pushbullet cant get the proper permissions on iOS to be worth a drat Really? I primarily use Pushbullet for copying stuff between my iPhone and my Chromebook, and it works just fine but I guess it's not as good without texting via desktop.

It works fine Android -> Mac but the way Apple walls off iMessage, you can't reply to iOS messages via Pushbullet (I mean if you're on a Mac you might as well just use iMessage anyway) For copying files I guess it's good but for Notifications it's totally hobbled for iOS. It used to be SUCH a good app, back when I had an Android and my MacBook paired, it was perfect for replying to texts.

Endless Mike posted:Wunderlist is being deprecated, so that's not a good option. I don't really have a better one for a shopping list other than that Paprika includes that function which I use and Paprika is a fantastic app. For shopping lists, we use anylist -- https://www.anylistapp.com -- which is cross-platform, supports comments & pictures, stores, pricing, etc. Recommended.

Red_Fred posted:OK I am taking the plunge, 6s should arrive this week. From using my 5c over the weekend I know I need at least the following apps: Podcast - Pocketcast Alarm - Default Weather - I use Weatherline and forecast.io (Canada, so Dark Sky is not accessible) Shopping List - Omnifocus for personal lists, Anylist for shared with the wife Twitter - Tweetbot Don't use any of the others, so I can't vouch.

I just started using Strong based on a recommendation from the Apple watch thread. Experiencing some slight bugs but reached out to the developer on and hoping he can clarify. Other than that it is a great workout tracker. Recommend that one for the Android OP.

He implemented a couple of my requests over the years!

This is straight up bugs though, not features. Apple watch app isn't showing up (in watch app) and anytime I try to click something that is user account specific (send feedback, export, etc) I get an error that there isn't a user with my email address even though I verified.

He reached out and helped me. Turns out if you don't have a Mail.app account set up you get the errors that I was. Also, I was a dummy (and am traveling) and didn't realize that I had to put my watch on the charger to start installation of new apps. Once I did that I was on my way. Quality stuff. Can't wait to train with this app on the watch.

Also, you can block ads with Safari.

I keep seeing Tweetbot recommended. What are its big features that make it preferable to the default app? The reviews and screenshots I see make it sound like it does all of the exact same things in basically the same way. I ask because I've never personally had an issue with default Twitter that would make me want to switch. Same question regarding MacOS Tweetbot, too.

Multiple account support with fast switching and simple analytics for your tweets if you're into that sort of thing. Never used the MacOS version though.

Also it blocks all ads and has a dark mode if that's your thing.

In addition to the above, it also maintains a pure chronological timeline, has better and more fully featured mute functions, simple gestures for interacting with tweets that can be customized, interactive push notifications that actually work... The only thing Tweetbot currently doesn't do is let you interact with polls, now that they added images in DMs.

The official app also supports multiple accounts and a dark mode. Though I'd be tempted to check out Tweetbot just for avoiding ads.

I prefer the official app to tweetbot. I like its interface more and I'd miss notifications on it. I'd consider it again though once Twitter has more ads.
