Well the latest version of Gmail allows a lot of 3rd party accounts like Exchange/365 so aside from the UI they’re not much different

It looks like it only checks 3rd party accounts on a 15-minute fetch basis, though, which is sorta lovely.

You can use Mail.app and have push on an Office365 account and fetch Gmail, or you can use Gmail and have push Gmail and fetch Office365.

So okay, I can pin sites to the main interface with Safari.

When I load it, it updates the screenshot in the icon. So if I have a tab open of that page, it takes a screenshot of that and sets it as the image. If I don't, the new icon will be the Safari empty tab because it takes the screenshot before loading the page. :allears:

I'd need a browser set up so it has six icons I set, I click on it and it loads the page, while never saving my data when I dismiss the app. And doubly so never displaying me cached data. Can Firefox Focus do this?

Is Bring still the go-to for sharing shopping lists with a spouse?

I get half!!
Is there an app/web program that is better at organizing documents than Pocket? I mainly use pocket to store essays/articles that I find on the internet, but I feel like the organizational aspect is really sparse. It has tags, but the way it utilizes them is very clunky. For example, not having some type of feature to nest tags, makes it so I need to have a separate tag for every little thing. It would be nice if I could hit the recipe tag, and then have all recipes already sorted into lunch, dinner, dessert. Instead I essentially need separate tags for all those categories, and have to click on each one separately. On top of that, the fact that it separates your articles into archived vs. non-archived is very irritating. I could have some of my recipes sitting in my unread list, and I would never see them if I was looking at my archived stuff. Why not have just one master list, and just indicate what is read/unread using border shading or highlighting?

Would programs like Raindrop, Instapaper, or Lumio do this for me?

If it’s only one simple list, a shared Reminders list works, too. Name it “grocery” and you can just tell Siri “add eggs to my grocery list”.

There’s watch Reminders integration since watchos3, too.

In my experience, iCloud syncing is not good enough for 2 people working off the same list like that.

Dunno, has worked flawlessly for us for a little over a year. We don’t do anything like simultaneous shopping, though, so “real time” hasn’t exactly been a concern if that’s what you mean by “working off the same list”.

My wife and I do use it for simultaneous shopping sometimes and it’s fairly instant. The biggest draw back to me is that it only populates on other devices in the order items were added. If you need to move something further up the list, the reordering won’t propagate to other devices.

Disregard, testing between my iPad and iPhone suggests that it does that now? Straight up seconding the rec reminders.app.

I'm used to a grocery list in OneNote, where we have everything possible in the lists, and toggle checkboxes to mark needed/bought. Can AnyList do this, or does it just want you to add only the things you need each time you're going to shop?

There's multiple kinds of icloud syncing, and I'm pretty sure the really bad one (icloud core data sync) has finally been eliminated from official apple apps.

The bad one was really bad, though.

Individual developers can still use it, but most don't, because it's really bad and they'd get blamed by the users, not apple.

I guess I'm unclear as to how you setup your grocery list.

So you have an entire list of everything you could possibly buy at the store, and just check off un-needed items? Do you then mass uncheck everything before each shopping trip and go through it all again?

Paprika is great but way more than just a grocery list. The only way to share the list is to log in with the same account, though. Also it was $3, but at least we both get it through family sharing.

Good to know.

I have to admit that my family hasn't used iCloud for anything since we discovered AnyList.

It doesn't really work that way but it does have favourites and autocomplete suggestions so you don't have to type out the whole name of every item on the list every time.

I love me some Paprika but Jesus gently caress $30 for the MacOS version is insane. I bought the previous version 3 times (ipad, iphone, mac). Paid $3 for each mobile version and $10 for the Mac which looking back probably means I got them whenever they went on sale. $5 for the universal is a good price and I’ll happily grab that but the MacOS version can wait because gently caress.

I see no reason to update as long as the current version continues to work, unless they've added some crazy new features to it, but somehow I doubt that.

However, the several of the new features in Paprika 3 will not show up on the older versions:

Bold and italic recipe formatting.
Recipe links.
Embedded photos in recipe directions.
Custom meal types will show as the Snack type on older versions.
Menus only have one day on older versions.

This thing works as a "send to" target in a podcast app to download the podcast to your phone and might not completely suck? I haven't tried it yet, but it's free to try out. https://itunes.apple.com/app/minicast/id1321902240?mt=8

Thanks, I'll have to try that. I tried a couple of similar free apps that were supposed to send the files to the watch (I think the name of one was WatchCast), but I couldn't get them to work. Overcast even supported something like this at one point, but it was taken out due to some changes in iOS 11 I think?

E: This actually seems like it will work, but you have to pay $3.99 to unlock the full version for it to send anything but the first episode of Serial. It does appear to work with Overcast or any other podcast app, so I think I'll pay the 4 bucks and see what happens.

E2: Yep, it works! Still wish I could just stream instead of downloading individual episodes, but until that happens, this will work well in the meantime.

Now, if SiriusXM would enable streaming on the watch, I'd be completely happy...

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
I’m living in Europe for a while (years) but my iTunes account and everything I’ve ever bought or downloaded from the App Store are from the US App Store. I just bought a TV over here and I want to download the TV App for it but clicking the link tells me it’s not available in the US Store.

How do I do it so that I can download that one app and still keep all my US apps/subscriptions and the occasional in app purchases (like hearthstone loot boxes) still working?

Make an account in your country, log out, log in with it, download app, log out, log back in with your normal account.

Apple TV makes this a lot easier by storing multiple accounts on the box, but it’s not too awful on the phone either.
