TheJoker138 posted:Preferably something that works on ios and a website. Any suggestions? Private Pinterest boards, maybe? Or if you're already using CeltX anyway, you may be able to do it with one of their confusing combinations of iOS, desktop, and cloud apps. Edit: Looks like you'd now have to be on a paid CeltX plan to get that functionality.

nickutz posted:The Facebook app essentially killed my battery today. Is revoking it's background app refresh privileges enough to keep it from doing it again? I assume that stops push notifications as well? It's been enough for some of us.  Background app refresh and push notifications are separate things. You can have both, one, or neither, as your preferences dictate. I'm not entirely sure what the hell Facebook does with Background App Refresh (other than consume battery), but it's apparently not anything I care about. The checkins feature nobody on the face of earth uses, maybe?

OldSenileGuy posted:What does the app give me that I can't get from the forecast.io webapp? Does the paid app give me more info? It's faster, you get more (or more optimized) information, and there are no ads (not that the ones in the webapp are intrusive). Having just fired them up side by side, the added/changed info:
And, like ChetReckless said, you can get notifications of precip slightly before they're forecast to happen.

tuyop posted:You could try Moves, which works off of the background location tracking and shouldn't, in principle, use any more battery power than geofencing (which is none). Moves works really well on the 5. There's a very small hit to battery life in "Battery Saver" mode, but it's nothing like, say, Argus's godawful battery murder. "Accuracy" mode makes a more noticeable dent, but it's still worlds below Argus.

NyxBiker posted:Will they ever make Track my iPhone to track your iPhone via IMEI, man they just stole my iPhone and it was disconnected from the internet so it's gone, but would be cool in the future to get this feature in the app. Why? If you have Find My iPhone (and thus activation lock) turned on, the phone's value is already only as parts. "Tracking" by IMEI—which would require carrier cooperation, which is a non-starter right there—adds nothing to that.

Cheesegod posted:Say I have an iPhone app. If I turn that iPhone app into a universal app, and the current user upgrades to the new version of the app, will the iPad version automatically be installed (provided the user has an iPad and automatic downloads turned on)? Automatic Download only picks up new purchases. So no, if this is an update to an existing app, it won't appear on the iPad by itself.

Minidust posted:Are aftermarket CarPlay units a thing yet? Might be car shopping, and by extension, head unit-shopping soon, so I was wondering. Pioneer, Kenwood, and Alpine are CarPlay partners. Pioneer has several options (the entire NEX series), Alpine has one (the ILX-007), and Kenwood has finally joined the party with the DDX9902S and 9702S. Note that Alpine's offering doesn't have Bluetooth, so it's only a CarPlay unit and will not ever support untethered CarPlay.

flosofl posted:OmniFocus is a great project, but it's too drat expensive if you can't get work to reimburse you. It's also total overkill unless you're a complete GTD freak with multiple projects with a ton of inter-dependancies. It's at least cheaper since they split the desktop version into Standard and Pro. It was ruinous when Pro was the only option, no matter how much of the immense feature set you needed.

Cyrano4747 posted:What if I disconnected the phone from the cloud, deleted all the photos there, and then had her sync the phone with the laptop? Would that automatically transfer the photos to the computer and, eventually the cloud? I haven't tested it, but conceptually that should work. The iPhone just shows up as a standard DCIM camera. It wouldn't be as painless as iCloud Photo Library, but if you've got a huge photo library, it may well be the least painful option (assuming she doesn't want to be able to show people photos at the drop of a hat). Another option would be Carousel by Dropbox; it'll periodically offer to delete photos for you once they've been uploaded to Dropbox. She'd then have to download them from Dropbox on her computer to import them into Photos.app, so again, not totally painless, but it would help keep a small phone limping along. That all being said, have you double-checked that her iPhone is (still?) set up for "Optimize iPhone Storage" in the Photos & Camera settings? Keeping full-size images, not the device-appropriate versions, was/is the default setting.

bobfather posted:I don’t look at Facebook but a couple times a day. The problem is the Facebook app acts like a voip application and stays active even when you aren’t looking at it. Hence the complaints about its egregious battery usage. Or the complaints about its recent penchant for ducking your audio if you don't explicitly force-quit it. The Facebook app is dreamy.

Yes, but Google owns Google and gets the full $9.99 on Android. There is no "cut". Want $9.99 on iOS too, add 30%, get... $12.99.

Rick posted:I started to look into stand alone GPS units because I do some back country driving in AZ from time to time. The article said that most people are probably better off with just apps on their smartphone, but it's a 3 year old article so I don't know if the recommended apps are still what people are using. If you're somewhere with cellular coverage, Maps or Google Maps actually do really well in the Arizona back country. If you need something that can deal with the real boonies, where LTE fears to tread, HERE Maps will let you download the whole state and has a surprising number of backroads and forest roads. That being said, the speed limits are frequently terribly out of date or just plain wrong, so the first thing you'll want to do is turn off the speed warnings. Otherwise you'll want to murder your passengers and drive into a goddamn tree after hearing the speed warning chime so often.

rear end Catchcum posted:so what's the deal with that? I thought Google bought Waze (and also intergreatted it into Google Maps) so when I use Google Maps, am I not getting the "best" route that Waze would offer up? Nope. They're separate apps, with largely separate data sources and features. The majority of what they share is Waze's crowdsourced traffic and accident data.

Zigmidge posted:I've had ALL of my apps randomly sign me out of my accounts on more than one occasion. Most recently last night. The gently caress is up with that? If we're talking third-party apps, it's usually dumbass developers using the cache (which can be purged at any time by iOS to reclaim space and is explicitly not for data that should be persisted) to store your credentials. In some cases their asses are sufficiently dumb to be doing this intentionally in direct contravention of common sense and the developer docs; in other cases it's because otherwise intelligent developers are using a lovely, poorly-designed cross-platform framework, which is still itself some high-level dumbassery. There are also a lot of really dumb apps that will sign you out for any blip in network connectivity. "Oh no, can't reach the server on our first attempt, better throw everything out!"

The Lord Bude posted:I knew that, but it doesn't explain why they couldn't apply what they learned to their desktop product. Because enterprise users are boring as hell and terrified of change, even when it's good. A lot of what they learned from Acompli/Outlook Mobile has been rolled back into their desktop apps, but it requires that you have New Outlook available to you. (Most corporate users do not, because their admin has locked it out.) And all the exciting stuff hits the Mac version much earlier than the Windows version because the Mac users actually use it.
