I don't like the stock app because it was a huge pain in the rear end to sync non iTunes store stuff with it, especially password protected stuff.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:I use Picky, if only because it emulates the iOS6 music app with iOS7 UI and colorized now playing. If you're looking for something more, this probably isn't for you. Picky is great, and I still don't know what the gently caress they were thinking with the iOS7 redesign of the stock app. Any artist with more than 2 or 3 albums takes so loving long to scroll through that it's useless.

Yeah, I've had nothing but problems with notifications on Skype on iOS. Sometimes it lets me know someone has messaged/tried to call, sometimes it doesn't, and it NEVER shows badges even with them turned on.

So I'm a filmmaker, and I had been using a site called muralnot up until recently as a preproduction idea board. It's essentially a virtual cork board that you can put photos, links, videos, notes, etc onto. Here's an example: But recently they've started charging a crazy monthly fee, so I need a replacement. Preferably something that works on ios and a website. Any suggestions?

Also a Minnesotan who takes public transportation 4 days a week, with long walks between campuses on two of them, and I have a job where I'm outside a good portion of the day on the other days, so I also like having accurate, fast weather.

It says that it uses Chase Visas, and I have a Chase Visa, and it says it's not usable.

xilni posted:Chase has said cards branded by others (in this case Amazon) remain under the control of the branding entity for deals like this. Consensus seems to believe Amazon views Apple as a competitor, more in the realm of mobile payments than phones, and doesn't want to cooperate, possibly vice versa. Well that's loving stupid.

Cyrano4747 posted:Yes, one of the largest - if not the largest - online retailers of books, music, software, and movies deciding not to help a company that directly competes with it in those fields to launch a new and potentially extremely lucrative payment model is just loving moronic. I don't know about that, but I do know that anytime I'll be using iPay or whatever I now won't be using my Amazon card, but will instead be using a different card. So if their goal was to get me to use their card less, I guess they succeeded?

Isn't the stock music app the same as is on the ipod touch, though? Why would they assume someone who bought an mp3 player wouldn't have much music? I wish Picky would change it's stupid app icon, though.

Suqit posted:You can always use Siri to pick what you want to play. I have multiple songs named the same thing. Either by coincidence or by having live versions. Half the time even disregarding that Siri is pretty terrible at actually understanding the names of songs. And I don't want to be on the bus talking to my phone. That seriously sounds like something a developer who has never used the app they designed in real world conditions would say.

teraflame posted:Chunky Comic Reader is by far the best comic app I've tried. Gives you tons of options of importing comics, very good presentation and features. I was surprised that it crushed comic zeal so thoroughly. I'll grab it, thanks. Why would they remove organization from Comic Zeal? There's no point in even having dividers if you can't see what they're named. And not showing the names of series makes doing sub-series (Spider-Man, then within it Amazing and Spectacular or whatever) completely impossible. I don't understand what this guys thinking was when the way it was before worked perfectly.

Comic Book App Update: I tried out Chunky and while it was nice it couldn't do the organization stuff I like with subfolders and such, so I shelled out the $8 for Comic Rack. The way it scrapes Comic Vine is kind of clunky, but I've decided to just deal with it because the UI on the app is so good once it's all set up and working. Would highly recommend now since Comic Zeal poo poo the bed with the last update.
