Scanner Pro is so good. It's so easy to get a document that I'm bound to misplace like an eyeglass RX or my dog's shot records and just stick it in the cloud. Microsoft Lens is pretty amazing at photographing whiteboards though.

Scanner Pro has been huge for me and my family. Every receipt, invoice, or document that we receive we quickly scan it and it automatically shoots up to our Google Drive scan folder (for later categorization). I can't count the number of times I've needed to reference a manual, or pull an invoice to dispute something, or any other number of cases and it's so wonderful to have it all in one digital place that I trust it'll be there. Plus I just toss the paper as soon as it's scanned, so no clutter in the house. It's lovely.

Is scanner pro better at that than Dropbox? I used to use scanner pro but pretty much forgot about it. I already have Dropbox and their scan seems consistently good.

All the scanner programs work similar. It's whatever works best with your particular workflow. Dropbox would limit you to Dropbox storage I suppose. It's more 'having a good scanning app' is important rather than which app it is.

Scanner Pro can do OCR in multiple languages including different writing systems (Latin, Cyrillic, “Japanese” (doesn’t say which script), Greek, and traditional and simplified Chinese) so there are better/worse apps depending on your needs.

I found it mildly annoying that my iOS manual was on the “reading now” section of the Books app (it’s not exactly a book you just read through), so I hit the “Mark as Finished” button for it. Suddenly I got a notification that said I’ve completed my “reading goal for the year.”

So my wife and I now have a kid so we’ve finally set up a shared calendar for events which is good. She’s going back to work and has a set rotating roster which I set up with custom repeats etc which was easy. My roster however is 5 days a week with my work being open Monday-Saturday. All my shifts are simple 9-5s though and my day offs are always Sunday and something else but there is no rhyme or reason to it so repeating events won’t work. Is there a way to just like cut and paste an event , so for example I could set up a Monday 9-5 “teacup @ work” event and then just “paste” it onto my days for the month? I can’t import from work as we do it on a google sheet calendar :/

XBenedict posted:I mean, yeah, but if your job is using a free Google product as a calendar, then WHY NOT loving GOOGLE CALENDAR? Don’t even get me started. Google sheets was a compromise from an old excel spreadsheet saved on a shared drive. I work for a company that is worth billions of dollars and had stores in 15+ countries . Unrelated note but since iOS 13 I’ve been using swipe to type - it’s good and I never had a Samsung so I’ve never used it before. I don’t know if it’s an iOS update thing or maybe me just thinking it is but I’ve noticed a ton more typos in normal typing though. So many words just not hitting what I’m trying to type, and a lot of accidental spaces or capitalisations that I didn’t have before. I didn’t change phones- has anyone else experienced this? Or am I just imagining it?

Nope, same thing here. I think it's driven by the swipe back gesture to delete. I switched to Gboard while they sort it out.

I can’t tell if this is due to ios13 or an app update for the YouTube app but in ios12 days I could drop out of the YouTube app in the middle of watching a video, come back to the app in many days and the video would still be where I left it. With ios13 and the latest YouTube app sometimes the app will behave as if it’s cold starting even after just dropping out of the app for a few minutes and I have to go back to my watch history to find the video I was in the middle of. Very annoying.

I noticed the exact opposite on my iPad. Apps that wouldn't stay in memory for a hour are still there and ready the next day on 13. That may be the new OS taking better advantage of the extra memory though. The spellcheck doesn't appear to be working as well anymore. I spell like rear end so I'm fairly dependent on it.

Just switched to an iPhone and am looking for a replacement for Sleep As Android. It had an alarm feature that forced you to scan an NFC tag to turn it off. It became an essential part of my routine. Since Apple decided no one but them gets to dirty their NFC reader, is there a decent alternative that uses QR codes or barcodes? I found "Barcode Alarm Clock" but it's a piece of poo poo that crashes after I silence it, and used 18% of my battery today doing nothing but being in the background. More than 1.5 hours of netflix in a low signal area.

PirateDentist posted:Since Apple decided no one but them gets to dirty their NFC reader Third party apps have been able to use the NFC reader since at least iOS 12, and iOS 13 opens it up so that anyone (including you!) can use the NFC reader. The Xs, Xr, and 11 line (ie newer phones) have additional hardware that give it passive reading as well. Dunno what app you’re looking for, but with Shortcuts you could make an automation where scanning a specific NFC tag will turn off (or on) an alarm or multiple alarms. If there isn’t an app you could just set like 10 alarms annoying close to each other and make the automation turn off all 10 of those alarms when you scan the tag. That way you either force yourself to get up and scan it or you’re gonna have an alarm sound every 5 minutes. Set another automation to [send you a notification with a tappable action to] turn on your alarms every night and you’re set. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Oct 23, 2019 |

Do 3rd party alarm clock apps have the ability to let you turn off the alarm without unlocking the phone, like the stock one? When I moved over from Android I tried a ton of clocks and none of them could, and boy am I missing some features in the stock app.

I'll check it out! Though gently caress, does every app have a drat subscription instead of one time upgrade now? Seems worse on iOS than Android, but maybe that's just because I'm looking for new apps for the first time in like five years.

Sleep Cycle is designed to not lock at all. You turn on the alarm and put the phone face down on your nightstand. It turns off the screen automatically but it still an unlocked phone. I think it works with a locked phone though. I've never actually tried. It has tap to snooze though which is the best feature EVER.

The only problem with alarm apps that keep the phone unlocked is that it keeps the phone from doing automatic iCloud backups. I switched back to the stock app because I was only getting backups on the weekend.

Seems worse on iOS than Android, but maybe that's just because I'm looking for new apps for the first time in like five years. Apple has been pushing towards subscriptions and more and more developers are starting to go that route yeah. I think I also read blog posts every now and then about how in general iOS users are way more likely than Android users to go ahead and pay for apps/subscriptions so there's a market/support for it at least. It's also not terrible uncommon for subscription model apps to have a "lifetime unlock" IAP too if you don't want to subscribe, Apollo (reddit client) being one of them I think, nice if you know you are going to be using it for longer than n years.

For the developers the old model was absolutely horrendous in terms of getting paid for your time and energy. God forbid you charge $3 for the app you worked on full time for a year or two.

Well that's the (in my opinion worse) alternative to the subscription model. They've gotta get paid for their effort somehow or else the app will just become abandonware
