decypher posted:My own opinion of Hipstamatic is that it takes great quality, high detail pictures with some really neat effects. You have a less fine tuned control over the outcome, but for me that's part of the appeal, actually. In fact, while I do have a handful my favorite combination of film/lenses(which you can save for easy access), I enjoy shaking the phone to get a random film/lens and just seeing what happens. I just want to chime in and agree with everything you've said here, I've purchased every add-on to Hipstamatic and will continue do so, they far-and-away have the best "hipster" filters for iOS. Some of their best paks are very subtle, you wouldn't suspect they came from that app. Unfortunately it seems like they've been kind of overtaken by these do-everything apps that add cheap, obvious filters.

the kawaiiest posted:Yeah Hipstamatic is fantastic. I have every hipstapak too. Sometimes I like to just shake my phone and shoot, just for the fun of it. Oggl is mind-blowing if you have a large collection of hipstapaks. I don't even open the app unless I've got a lot of free time as I'll lose an hour editing a handful of images.

TheJoker138 posted: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. Do you still need the PC version for everything to work properly? Mac user here.

tuyop posted:Camera+ is pretty much the gold standard. I wouldn't say Camera+ is the gold standard so much as it has simply snowballed in popularity to the point where no one can catch up in name recognition. ProCamera 8 is one example of a much more versatile and powerful camera app. There are several others if you look.

Anyone use the sleep app Pillow? It seems to be one of the only Apple Watch apps that actually uses the accelerometer (Sleep Cycle for instance requires the phone by your bed and watch support is simply stop and snooze). Anyways, the "smart wake-up" feature has never once worked for me. It wakes me up at the exact time I set my alarm. All settings seem correct, ideas?

Maybe you’re just dead asleep before it rings? Haha, you know looking at my sleep tracking it seems like I am usually pretty down there.

Chinook posted:I have a daily alarm that wakes me up on my phone. Some days I get up before the alarm goes off, so I would like to be able to jump into the shower without the alarm going off while I'm in the shower. However, that requires toggling the entire alarm off, and then going back in and turning it back on at some point. Can't help you with the iPhone, but if you have an Apple Watch it does this.

xzzy posted:Watches are actually super rad now. But I wouldn't wear one to bed. I wake up at my lightest sleep cycle via Auto Wake for maximum wakefullness and it's brilliant. The sleep data it collects via Apple Watch haptics is insane. I'll be damned if I'm putting my phone on the bed for half those benefits (looking at you Sleep Cycle). Or using an alarm like a normal person.

Lazyhound posted:I found sleep tracking to be counter-productive because it made me have to consciously think about going to sleep. With AutoSleep and AutoWake everything is done without any user action (save for stopping the alarm). So once a week I check my stats and know if I'm carrying a debt or not (both by hours and percentage of my goal). If I am I try to catch up a bit. And if I'm like 50% ahead of my goal I know to quit being a lazy dipshit.

FCKGW posted:Sleep Cycle hasn’t required you put the phone on the bed for a couple years now. They do everything through the microphone now. I bet that has sent accuracy through the roof... For anyone that doesn't sleep alone, Sleep Cycle is worthless. For anyone that does sleep alone, it's still nearly worthless. They've even gone so far as to create an Apple Watch app that doesn't bother to use the watch for anything but stopping the alarm. Motion sensing and heart rate are key to increasing accuracy.

xzzy posted:All consumer sleep trackers are pretty much poo poo if you dig into the research on how they do what they do. You take any conclusions the software makes into a doctor's office to talk about your sleep quality and they're gonna be all "uh no we're gonna hook you up to a machine that records your sleep before we try to fix anything." Nothing is going to stand up to proper sleep study, but if you look into the science behind what some of the better ones are doing it's solid science. You can go all-out and buy a dedicated sleep tracking device (Beddit, Emfit, etc.) for about as close as you'll get without a clinic. The Apple Watch apps AutoSleep and Auto Wake are by far the best sleep trackers available on the app store, relying on actual movement and heart rate to qualify sleep. Trash like Sleep Cycle which just listens for ambient noise gives the better choices a bad name.

dc3k posted:Sleep Cycle has motion detection. That used to be the only option. I think when they added the snore recordings thing they set microphone as the recommended method Yeah when it's on the bed. The crazy thing is they've got an Apple Watch app that doesn't use the more accurate motion available. It's simply an on/off switch.

I don't but I sure as hell checked, lots of apps gently caress up your battery like that. tuyop posted:Pretty sure that’s just what it records energy usage as when it’s playing podcasts in the background. You can reduce this by turning off the silence cancelling feature and stuff. This must be it. I probably listened to about that length of podcasts yesterday. Thanks to both of you.

Montalvo posted:I tried browsing on my iPhone with all of the big three browsers (Chrome, Safari, and Firefox) and Safari is definitely the smoothest and most comfortable option, so I'll probably stick to using that and use the free version of 1Blocker, since I don't actually browse very heavily on my phone. On my Macbook I'll stick to using Chrome, only because there's a few Chrome extensions that I like to use and I don't like that Safari's pinned tabs are duplicated across all open windows. So to that end, is there a third-party way to sync your Safari tabs Crime?
