Seriously YouTube Red is worth it you watch a ton of YT. Plus it works on more than just the phone so that kinda owns.

Personally yeah, I watch a ton of vids and just having the convenience of not seeing adds and having background video playback is worth the $10. Also I spend $10 on dumber things so this is actually not bad for me on a month to month basis. That being said I understand it's not feasible for everyone to bother with a monthly payment.

You also get google music plus in that price tho, so you can cancel Spotify if that's one of your $10 a month subs and come out pretty level.

While it’s (obviously) done nothing to fix the UI layout I’ve found the GPM app performs significantly better for me on the iOS 11 beta than it did on 10.3 Odd because pretty much everywhere else the device now feels slower

Sort of blows my mind Apple hasn't made more effort to sort out Apple Music. I'd switch from Spotify in a heartbeat if it had some sort of web player and improved suggestions. On the subject of password apps, so you use them in conjunction with Keychain?

1Password doesn't work with Keychain. You can add it to the share(?) button in Safari where it'll open up a mini applet or whatever and you can copy the password from there and paste it back into the website. It's a bit clunky to be honest, especially if you use a website that requires 2FA and you use 1Password as the code generator. They must have an open API that app developers can use as well cause I've noticed some apps have a dedicated 1Password button on their login page. Otherwise you'll have to manually switch to the app and find the password. The official keychain password manager is very rudimentary and probably doesn't support things like 2FA code generation and saving of other fields like those "help I forgot my password: what is your mother's maiden name?" questions. You should never actually put real answers in there by the way since it's trivially easy to figure out your mother's maiden name or the city where your high school was etc if someone really wanted to get in. So I just generate a random phrase and have 1Password save that as the answer instead.

I was surprised and disappointed to be asked for some by Apple when I set up an account but I can't remember the last time I ran into them otherwise

Is there a good app for making diagrams (maybe just flowcharts)? If it takes advantage of the apple pencil that would be even better. I need to throw together some diagrams for a presentation and would rather draw something than use some of the more clunky software I have on my computer. And obviously some level of professional quality is required.

It works OK, it's serviceable but if you will be using Google Voice 8 hours a day for 5 days a week you should probably get an Android for work is my guess? I'm supposed to have a GV number for work but I don't do a lot over the phone. I just list my personal number

I'll rarely use it, I just want it to work when I get incoming calls or need to call into a conference line. Probably a little on call eventually, but I have used my company phone maybe twice in six months, if that. Most of the time I will be using Skype for Business on my computer.

Google voice is annoying because if the inevitable "wait which number should I call you on?" discussions and Google has shown no care in the past for suddenly removing services or merging them into other shittier services. Nonetheless if it works like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc, calls and text messages to your google voice number should just show up like push notifications. Just think of the google voice number like a screen name for the google voice instant messenger app, I guess. It'll be completely divorced from the phone number tied to the SIM card.

Just think of the google voice number like a screen name for the google voice instant messenger app, I guess. It'll be completely divorced from the phone number tied to the SIM card. That's only an issue if you're telling people both numbers & if you care what number people call you on. If the latter is true, don't do the former. The whole point is that it's a phone number/account divorced of the one on the SIM. What features did you sign up for if you didn't think that?

I've been using GV with my work iPhone for 3-4 months now, it's been pretty great. The app itself does need to reload quite often but I haven't had any issues with messaging or calling.

I signed up for GV a long time ago, think right when it was renamed from Grand Central or whatever. Anyway this was back when I was in college and I think I lived on campus. I think I had an iPhone but there was no GV app so you had to do this weird thing where you dialed out to another number and calls/text messages were relayed out. Also GV didn't support sending pictures or support those phone numbers that have like 5 numbers only that some things use to text confirmation codes or sweepstakes entries to. All I remember was I really liked the idea of GV (a phone number in a "foreign area code! I can check my text messages in my gmail! No more "hey you, new number this is BorisGalerkin" texts!) and really wanted it to work but it was just a pain. Everyone already had my number so I'd tell people "hey new number [GV number]" and then there would always be the ones who never bothered saving the GV number since the one they had in their phones still worked. Also I don't know if android was a thing or mass adopted yet, so the idea of a GV number was really weird to everybody. Then there's the times where I'd accidentally call people from my "real" number instead of the GV one, or when I wanted to send pictures I'd send it from my real number or tell people to send them to the real number etc. It was just a total mess. Sad.

Google Reader, Google Buzz, 1-800-GOOG-411, Knol (more like lol), Talk, Wave, iGoogle, … Yeah I wouldn't rely on Google services either. e: How could I forget google+, which is technically still alive, but I remember reading a few years back how they were making a big deal out of it and really putting their eggs in the google+ basket only to fail spectacularly.

I had it back when it was introduced on Sprint and even with an Android phone it was loving terrible. Now it works pretty well for it being a Google developed iOS messaging app. Plus you can still use your web browser to send/receive messages.

Hangouts was pretty cool and the way they decided to just abandon it instead of making it the default Android messaging app really made me sure they had no idea what the gently caress they were doing.

But did they? There's a Slack channel I'm in and I see the developers talk about Hangouts meetings now and then. (Or do you mean they changed their focus? I've never used Hangouts before but I always thought it was like Skype and it seems like that's what it still it.)

A product can be abandoned for all intents and purposes but still readily available and used. That's what Hangouts feels like.

A group of 4 friends and I use Hangouts to chat every day. It works well on desktop, iOS, and Android. If Google ever discontinued, we'd probably move to Slack or Facebook.

My collection of RPG pdfs has grown vast and I find it inconvenient to read PDFs at the game table on my phone. I bought an Ipad to have these documents handy, but I'm finding it a real bear to simply create a PDF library on the Ipad. It feels like the only real way to do this is to create a PDF library in some file service (google drive or dropbox, I guess) then import the documents to some form of PDF reader. Is this how I should be handling the problem? I'm completely new to IOS and it's weird not having a file system. Is there an app someone can recommend for organizing and viewing pdfs? The adobe app seems to have stability problems.
