Is there an alarm app that would allow me to set an alarm which goes off every weekday, and also has a “turn off tomorrow” button, similar to iOS wifi? When I turn my alarm off on the odd non-work day, I always forget to turn it back on.

You set a time for it to wake you every weekday and then on the days you don't want it you can go into sleep mode and skip the next alarm

Or do you not mean the iOS sleep, but a sleep feature in the app “Alarm Clock”? I can’t find that feature in that app. Pertplus fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Jan 20, 2022 |

Yeah at the top of the alarms tab in the clock app should be a 'wake-up' schedule feature. It's that

Just tap that and tell it to skip. Easy peasy. Oh, there’s literally a “skip alarm” button if you tap the alarm. Had no clue. Thanks!

Sadly, that version of the alarm doesn't let you use a custom alarm, for reasons...

I am looking for a drawing app for my daughter. She has a 7th gen and Apple Pencil. What is my best bet? She is in preschool.

Procreate seems pretty amazing but I think it may be too advanced / too much for a preschooler. I’ve used the free version of Flow by Moleskine to do quick sketches and stuff - I find it straightforward enough to jump into and just use but I don’t have an Apple Pencil.

Not really sure if this is the right thread or not but is there any tv tracking app that can provide reliable data on upcoming airings? I’ve got TV Time, which is great, but it’s also seemingly unable to tell me when next episodes of Star Trek Discovery, Bluey, and a couple of others air. It apparently uses trakt.tv for its info but IMDb also has inaccurate future air date information. Is this just where we are at now? I do get that shows without announced premier dates won’t obviously have them but like Discovery had an announced 13 episode run and trakt.tv seems to think it was just 10.

I use the official Trakt app and find it really useful. I have it filtered to only show upcoming season premieres though. If there's some sort of error with the metadata I think you can report it on the Trakt website and it'll get fixed

Is there a Safari extension that unfucks Twitter? Twitter keeps blocking their site with a page telling me to sign in and such when I scroll down or try to tap on a persons handle to see who they are etc.

Is there a messaging app that could work over Bluetooth so you could use it on a plane? Got cheap seats for a long-ish flight so me and wife and son will all probably be in separate parts of the plane.

Does Google Maps regularly poo poo the bed for anyone else? I’ve been getting anything from total just laggy unresponsiveness to black screens on car play, to searching for restaurants around me and it showing results that are nearly 140 miles away in a town not even close to the name of the town I’m in. It’s been awful particularly this week.

GMaps is the only app that reliably softlocks my phone, once a week or so, it's trash.

It's been fine the few times I've used it, but apparently they are dealing with a host of poo poo due to Ukraine/Russia - stuff as basic as displaying street names and to who - not that it excuses bad service everywhere else given the size of Google

I’ve seen the issues that people in (usually remote) places have with Apple Maps, and I’m so glad to not be one of them. It works great for the most part where I am, the last time I remember it sending me to the wrong destination the person I was meeting used Google Maps and it sent her to a different, but also wrong, place too.

I just wish Apple Maps could catch up in simple usability to Google Maps. If I'm looking up public transit directions to a place, I don't want to have to do the mental math of "7 minute walk to the bus stop, and the bus leaves at 16:05". Just tell me what time I need to start walking at like Google does.

I sometimes use google maps instead of apple and I find it's so busy and messy looking. Apple maps looks a lot cleaner and is more pleasant to use. I definitely agree it should have walk times for public transit (that's also the main reason I use google maps)

I generally prefer Apple Maps for the Watch integration while driving (gentle taps on the wrist at turnings) and overall cleaner UI, but I found a really annoying gripe with it this weekend: It’ll silently change routes and ignore your initial “avoid tolls” choice. This happened twice in two days - on the outward journey I was sure I’d chosen the toll-free route, then went into autopilot while listening to podcasts and ended up paying £6.50. On the return journey I was more vigilant with the UI choices and it still would’ve sent me the same route (which I definitely didn’t choose this time) if I hadn’t ignored the directions. It’s a route I know well (from my house to my parents’) so it’s partly my own fault for not paying enough attention, but equally that’s why I set the route in the first place..

I just wish any of them would politely deal with rest stops and gas stops when on road trips. It always triggers a frenzy of route recalculations, which is technically the right thing to do I guess but it would be nice if it was more graceful. What would be really cool is if you could enter the estimated range of your vehicle and it suggests a gas stop around that point. Or rest stops every couple hours. Other than that they've both been almost identical in terms of overall performance. Apple Maps still has issues in urban areas, it's rare but sometimes it picks really weird side streets when staying on a main avenue for a couple more blocks is more efficient. But google is real bad at knowing speed limits and buries me in a lot more sponsored pins.

i definitely prefer apple maps to google maps overall, but there are still a couple of things that bug me about it. one is gently caress yelp. all my homies hate yelp and i will never install the yelp app to read dumb reviews from mad suburbanites. the other is that it could be a little more proactive about speaking turn directions. sometimes it's like "turn right" at the moment i'm passing through the intersection and i'm like yeah let me just swerve wildly here

Also a web interface so that I can plan stuff when at a PC and be able to share location pin groups or point to point directions to other people without them having to own Apple devices would be sublime. For that reason alone I just default to Google Maps for almost everything.

Siri is so awful though. I didn’t realize how spoiled I was with Assistant. I set a double tap on my phone to run an Assistant shortcut instead.
