Anyone else have Apple maps stop loading data in the last couple days? The maps will load, and basic data about my recent items will load. But searches and directions just sit on the "loading" spinner unit a time out.
Phone and iPad, wifi and cellular. Phone's on iOS 10, and iPad on 11.
I mean, I can use Google maps for directions for now, but it's hamstringing my "Hey Siri" experience.

Ever tried Waze? Once you do you'll probably stick with it.

Not having that issue. Maybe try deleting the app and redownloading?

I love Apple Maps. Using it with my watch and Siri is too convenient to switch to another app. Of course, I live near the Bay Area so the navigation works great for me here.

Depending on the rate of your adoption where you live, Waze is either a Google Maps clone with less features and worse UI, or a complete life-changing experience.

Being that I live in Austin, a massively overpopulated city that can't spell "urban planning", it's definitely at the life-changing end of the scale for me, but if you don't have hundreds of people feeding real-time updates on your route as you drive it may not be all that.

Google owns Waze and is supposed to be incorporating Waze reports into Google Maps but I haven't seen it the few times I've tried.

Mhm it's very well adopted in Chicago. The place-finding features are better in GMaps, so sometimes I'll find the place I need there, then type the address into Waze.

Siri, Watch, and Carplay are all advantages AMaps has but I personally don't care about those.

I know its bean asked a million times since ios 11 came out, but jesus gently caress thanks for making the native podcast app into poo poo apple.


All I want to do is play episode 183, and then when its done episode 184 starts playing unless I set the sleep timer to stop playing at the end of 183. I don't want to have to make playlists to to do this. Ive set overcast to oldest to newest but it it switches to the newest episode every time. Do I have the settings wrong or does overcast not do this? Is there a podcast app that just does this? I dont need a million playback features.

Downcast does this and I prefer it to Overcast.

That's how I use Overcast and it works fine for me. Go to a podcast's "Unplayed" list and it should have an upward triangle. If you tap the "Unplayed" header (which I've done by mistake) it'll swap to playing newest first instead.

You can also change the play/sort order in the third tab there. The one thing that threw me is that unlike the subscribe/notification/keep stuff in that tab, this seems to be a global setting, not a per-podcast setting. Tapping the header or changing the settings section will change it for all podcasts.

I assume you'll need to make a playlist if you want some podcasts to go one order and some to go the other. I am not sure why this is.

Downcast is awesome for customization but feels like overkill for "playing podcasts in order".

I thought native apps just were hidden when you hit the "-" button in jiggly mode? Only re-download is on an OS update?

Issue fixed itself as soon as I tried to show it to a "Genius" yesterday. Back to loading near instantly.

I have and I didn't. Way, WAY, too many times routed to a left turn with no signal across a main thoroughfare (like Wilshire, lol) which ADDS time to a journey. So much for that time-saving, traffic-avoidance routing!

Since a while ago they added an option to avoid difficult unsignaled turns, so that probably wouldn't be an issue anymore. Specifically because of roads like Wilshire.

That’s how it was in iOS 10, but in 11 it actually does delete the app.

Surely true, but iOS 10.0.x sucked also. Apple just isn't any good with their initial software releases, but they are pretty good about ironing them out.

Every single iOS release has new reports about "battery life problems"

Every single goddamn one.

Every single new site has a "users report battery problem" article queued up and ready to go, just waiting for that fist MacRumors forum post to hit so they can press "submit".

And every single time they're either 1) iOS indexing everything and people playing with new features that drain the battery or 2) a legitimate problem that gets fixed in a couple weeks in a quiet minor point release.

Just update your phone, it's fine and cool and good.

This sure as gently caress is category 2... apparently fixed in iOS 11.1.

Most major iOS releases have had major bugs in the first few versions. It's not a huge deal, but it could well be a problem to someone who doesn't use massive amounts of battery. (Which sure as gently caress ain't me, I've sewn secret pockets for extra battery packs into my clothing.)

fwiw 11 seems to be the buggiest .0 release, at least for me, since 8. i did get a significant hit to battery life when i updated (on an iphone 6) but that has seemed to have reached some kind of equilibrium, though it took literally weeks. or maybe i've just got used to it, who knows

SeANMcBAY posted:

and honestly this is hardly an 'iphone 4 on ios7' (or iphone 4s on ios 9, which i'd argue is worse) situation. the weakest phone hardware-wise that will run 11 is the 5S, a config that i have used albeit briefly, and it's totally fine. looking forward to the reported improvements wrt lag though

i feel like they look alright on apps that have got a complete redesign with them as an integral component, like the new app store (which while prettier still works like absolute poo poo), but they seem to have just been slapped into apps like mail out of obligation and look really out of place there
