There're a ton of apps to do this in all different ways, and everyone will have their own specific preferences. If you're wanting a reminders-like app: Todoist (subscription based, but also my favorite -- allows for shared tasks) Things (really pretty; expensive; Apple-only) Omnifocus (really complicated; expensive; Apple-only) 2Do (ugly; Apple-only) Wunderlist/Microsoft To-do (Wunderlist is getting killed and To-do sorta sucks) If you're wanting a calendar: Google Calendar (built-in reminders are actually really useful here, too) Fantastical (good replacement, integrates default reminders if that's something you're interested in) If you want a more free-form method: Evernote (price keeps going up; subscription-based) Dropbox Paper (early-stage, weird sorting and requires access via a browser on macOS/Windows) Notion (my new favorite all-purpose notes/storage/reminders app -- seriously this thing is loving amazing [referral link]) *edit: Notion would be really good for tracking haircuts, too.*

I think Mike is right, though, sounds like you want a calendar but maybe not “the” calendar. One suggestion: get Fantastical (everyone should at least consider this anyway imo), make second calendar for your school stuff. Have iOS calendar only show your first calendar, have Fantastical only show your second calendar. (Or vice versa) Checking off items would be swipe left + tap delete.

I have an app called "Productive" which reminds me daily to do stuff (I use it to remind me to sit up straight and to stretch). Might do the trick?

I was hoping for something like Entry: Class A (X) Read chapter 1 (X) Do assignment 1 On a specific date, with multiple classes and multiple checks (maybe 6-8 per day). Each days entry is different and notices carries over if I forget to check it off. Does that solve it?

Schedule them for certain days and manage them around. It's excellent and I use it to manage my work and home stuff. Works great with recurring items also.

I don't seem to have any way to change the settings in Facebook messenger. I guess there's supposed to be a tab at the bottom right called "me" but I don't have it. Any ideas how I can access it?

Seems like it'll likely keep track of tasks daily, I don't think your tasks will migrate to a new day, but if you set a deadline and miss it, it'll still be marked as needing to be done.

Hi, ios11 has ruined the podcasts app. Is there an app that will let me play the playlists of podcasts I have synced to my phone? I tried Overcast but it didn't seem able. Thanks.

I looked into this because I have "podcasts" of radio shows in iTunes, and the sad answer is there isn't another app that will play them. I gave up and moved everything to Overcast.

Been using Downcast forever but just got an 8+ and figured I'd try Overcast. I like it, it's nice and simple but it doesn't seem to refresh my subscriptions in the background when the app is closed. Downcast did this, is this a feature I need to pay for, did I just not set my app up right, or is it just a feature that isn't available?

Is there a good iPad app that can airplay a photo to an Apple TV in the background? Like for example, if I load up YouTube and airplay it to my TV, I can go and do other poo poo on my iPad and it will still keep the video playing on the TV. Reason I ask is I'm running a D&D campaign in my living room and it would be nice to throw images up on the screen when I want, then go back to using my other apps to run the game while the image sits there.

I'd be slightly concerned with image retention/burn in, if the images need to be up for a long time. Even LCDs can suffer from it, but not as badly as other types of display.

Just a shout out if there's still someone unfamiliar, the free version of Hiya has had about a 100% ID rate for me on telemarketer/robocalls. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hiya-caller-id-and-block/id986999874?mt=8 (just reminded because it blocked another one)

Might explain why they've been pretty good at flagging the calls coming in for the most part. For anyone interested in this, just keep in mind it's going to have full access to your call and message LOGS (not content) and your Contacts. if you use a 3rd party login (Facebook, Google), it will have access to whatever info is typically available to 3rd parties using that authentication. Privacy policy looks fairly straightforward. There's a little bit of weaselly words sprinkled in there, but for the most part it's an intelligible policy that's appears to be better than most services. https://hiya.com/hiya-data-policy If I weren't already getting acceptable service from T-Mobile in catching these kinds of calls, I'd have no issues using this.

Can you export a list of podcasts you're subbed to and which episodes you've played/not played from iTunes to import into another app? And if so, how?

Downcast did this, is this a feature I need to pay for, did I just not set my app up right, or is it just a feature that isn't available? I'm still holding out for the full rewrite of Downcast the author is apparently working on. I'm sure it's going to end up being a subscription thing since he now says he's working full-time on Downcast. I've looked at Overcast but I can't give up the degree of configuration and control Downcast offers. As for your background updates, iOS tracks the apps you use most often (and when you use them) and uses that information to decide how often to allow the app to run in the background. Given more time using the app it'll get to run in the background more.

Overcast's background updates happen when it receives silent push notifications. If you didn't allow notifications, it might not be waking up to download new episodes?

astral posted:that is the dumbest-sounding thing No, it's a good use of data tracking for the os to optimize the response of the stuff you use the most. If it can anticipate that every time you pick up the phone you reload Awful.app, maybe it could have threads refreshed already, allowing you to get sad that no one responded to your excellent comedy and turning the screen off again (which is generally the biggest power draw). Assuming it's true.

It's not unreasonable to imagine there's an app you want to be able to do things in the background without you having to interact with it. You'd now have to do the dumbest thing - using an app that you rarely have a need to directly interact with - to be able to make it work in the background. Assuming it's true.

You'd now have to do the dumbest thing - using an app that you rarely have a need to directly interact with - to be able to make it work in the background. It doesn't stop everything else, and it definitely doesn't pre-empt push tasks. If they put any thought into it, and really assuming they didn't is stupid, it probably just prioritizes more commonly used apps to stay in active memory and refresh more often.

It isn't hard to think of plenty of cases where frequency of use wouldn't correlate with how badly you want or need updates and background refreshes.

cbirdsong posted:Overcast's background updates happen when it receives silent push notifications. If you didn't allow notifications, it might not be waking up to download new episodes? Blocking notifications only blocks loud user-facing notifications; it doesn't block silent ones. What is more likely to happen is that you get the push notification when you're on cell service and have cell downloads disabled. A silent notification only gets the app 30s of time before it goes back to bed. The app can't keep trying across the course of the day to download, nor can it wake when you get wifi connectivity. It can only wake when you wake it or when another podcast updates, at which point it'll download everything it can. If you're one of those people that kills apps when you're done with them to "save battery" then you're making the problem far worse for yourself. If you listen on the drive home, kill your podcast app before you walk into wifi range, and neither listen at home nor listen to podcasts that update while you're at home, then the app will never download anything for you. hey girl you up fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Oct 4, 2017 |

Cesium Music Player is free on the app store for a limited time. It's perfect if you have your own local music library and don't need all the streaming stuff in the default iOS Music App. It's an updated take on the old iPod app. I've also got a weird request. Are there any camera apps with absolutely no on-screen controls?

Admittedly it's been a while since iOS 7, but I assume it's still handled the same.
