Stocard looks nice, but after the first card, it won't let me add any others to Apple Wallet?

And Pass4Wallet is ok too, but I hate that the Apple Wallet automatically stacks all of the card from Pass4Wallet into a single stack that you have to swipe through horizontally.

Why do you make this so hard, Apple :mad:

Speaking of store apps (kinda) I just started using the 7-11 one (again) in Canada and I love it. They've added a lot of features since I used it last and the best thing is the mobile checkout which works great.

Usually when I go for a slurpee when it's hot there is a lineup of folks and this way I can bypass all that, it rocks.

I hoard my 7-11 points like a miser though I don't know why..

Is that in the US because all the ones around here in BC Canada have em. It would probably mean it’s coming as lots of companies trial run stuff in Canada with the smaller market.

It’s great just scan barcode with camera, pay with apple pay and then show phone barcode to a little box by the door and it glows green. Really makes it fast and convenient.

Oh yeah that is annoying. There is a workaround: you can give cards a 'color'. Then cards with the same color sit together (you only see the color in the top right). So I have a stack of cards I use a lot and a stack I rarely use.

Apple serious needs some built-in way to just generate your own Wallet passes rather than assume every small shop or conncert venue is gonna make their own app for making cards.

It would be nice but what I’d really want is more granular control to make geofences to have cards automatically come up when you’re at the store in question. Lowe’s does this and it’s super convenient. Can’t see it being viable unless they hook it into their maps service or something.

Stocard will pull up cards using geofencing, which is why left unattended it will eat battery like few other apps.

Are these alternate players? I’m curious about that now, what kind of things do they add or change?

I read an article saying apple music is putting ads for their other radio shows in playlists and stuff which really sucks. I haven’t had that pop ip yet but I hope they shelve that idea! I could understand on their radio stations but a playlist? Nah. Also short interview clips with artists about a track which really doesn’t need to be in a playlist either thanks.

So I'm a Spotify user but I'm trying to move over to AM since I already have Apple One. My main use case for using Marvis is Last FM scrobbling but it doesn't have a CarPlay app so I'm looking for one that does.

I also keep requesting native AM Last FM support in the feedback app and if anyone else feels like doing that maybe it'll happen? Spotify and Tidal both have it.

You can do this using Pass4Wallet! They're not super-accurate though. I live in a town in Europe with lots of small shops bunched together and it's not useful for me. It uses apple's own location-checking (like what they use for geofenced reminders) so it hardly uses battery as far as I can tell.

I guess there's already been some talk about this, but I can't add a card to pay with Apple Pay at all right now. iPhone SE2, latest iOS and all that.

My old card has worked fine for years, but the phone won't verify this new card I got today, just keeps throwing out some vague errors every time I ask it to verify it. It's not the card's fault, I know that. What can I do here?

E: Nevermind, had to open my bank's app manually because Wallet wouldn't open it itself despite saying it would.

Does anyone have a Spam Call Blocker app that they recommend? I'm tired of getting multiple spam calls a day, but I'm wary of simply turning on "Silence Unknown Callers" on my phone because I don't want to miss the odd call that's NOT spam but also NOT in my contacts list. (For example, I got a call the other day from my building's management company that I would not have wanted to miss - I only picked up because the number was local and didn't appear to be a spam number.)

Edit: I guess I could just turn on “Silence Unknown Callers” and assume that any ‘real’ callers that aren’t in my contact list will leave a voicemail. But if there’s a spam blocker app that works seamlessly, that’d probably be nicer.

T-Mobile has one called Scam Shield that is great. I am unsure if you can use it without TMo though.

I think every carrier has an application that tries to mitigate spam callers. On ATT I have one (ATT Call Protect, IIRC), and while I still seem to get them, a lot are named “SPAM RISK” and I’ve yet to miss an expected call that was erroneously flagged as such in 2ish years of having it.

Goddamnit, I'm getting ads in Outlook now :negative: I figured this day would come eventually, but still, I've been using it/loving it for years.

What's the best email app that has Gmail push and no ads? I'll pay a few bucks if I have to.

Where are you seeing ads out of curiosity? I have a personal office 365 subscription, wonder if that's supressing them.

Otherwise interested in this as well, the gmail app for iOS seems bleh.

At the top of my inbox. Just started seeing them today.

Of course I just went to look and now it seems to have disappeared :doh: But there was a message I didn't recognize at the top of my inbox and the word "Ad" appeared in blue next to it.

I’m also shopping around for a different email app seeing as my work requires Outlook with some pretty specific permissions/settings and I want to separate my work/personal email accounts. I’ve been using Edison recently, which is decent.

I'm looking for an app that can help me organize some projects/tasks. I'd like to have organize in groups, with each group having its own history, task list, and reminders. I feel like there are a billion of these and they all do something different, so I figured I'd ask here while I'm looking on the app store.

Hm...Microsoft To Do actually looks really useful and nice for this.

You could use uBlock Origin in Firefox to block that element. A lot of times though sites will have things in place that stop the page from scrolling until that box is gone.

Works on both desktop and mobile!

Pretty sure they haven’t so it’s odd to recommend in the iOS apps thread. Firefox on iOS is basically a safari reskin.
