I mean some of that data presumably has API costs associated with it. If you use it that much, $25 a year doesn't sound unreasonable

Yeah I get that. It seems like transit schedules and routes should be pretty much fixed though, so the API calls are prolly for stuff like vehicle tracking and whatnot. Like I’ll gladly pay $25 for being able to live track my route but I dunno about paying $25 just to be able to access schedules for all the routes (which imo shouldn’t really be changing).

I haven't used the app as public transport near me is abysmal, but does it not show when a bus/train is running late/delayed?

I wanna say it does but I haven’t used it in years. I just redownloaded it cause I’m moving to a place where I’ll be using public transit more. But showing a bus/train is delayed is what I mean by tracking vehicles and stuff. I’ll pay extra for that, but I’m not going to pay extra just to be able to see the schedule for a specific line.

1Password question.

What’s the difference between clicking on the 1P icon that’s inserted inside the text field and selecting the proper login, vs. tapping on the “password” bar right above the keyboard? Which is the preferred way to use 1Password? Why are there 2 ways to insert passwords from my password manager?

Best public transit line tracker/searcher app similar to “Transit” app? I used to use this app all the time but now when I download it again it wants me to subscribe to regain access to things I had before, like “show all lines”.

So it turns out that none of this ended up mattering because my local transit authority gives everyone who uses the app a free premium subscription, so I’m still using Transit.

Wow, Anki. That’s something I forgot existed.

I remember buying the official app for like $20 or something as a poor college student. It’s awesome. It really helped me with learning and retaining poo poo in college.

In Wallet there’s a package button that seems to be for tracking packages but I can’t seem to figure out how to add UPS tracking numbers to it. There’s only a search bar. What’s the deal with this menu?

I need to keep track of my time split between 2 projects at work for billing purposes. It doesn’t need to be exact just need to know at the end of the day something like “6.5 hrs project A, 1.5 hrs project B” and I’ll prolly never need anything more than 30 min increments. A Lock Screen widget seems perfect for this. Any suggestions with iOS 17 now?

Ok the iOS 17 photos addition of identifying breeds of cats & dogs and identifying what food is in a photo is not necessarily super accurate or useful (well the food one is useful if you like to check recipes) but it's pretty fun even if it misidentified my cat Lulu as a wirehair and my cat Rokit as a Bombay. :)

It’s identifying my cat as an “American Wirehair” as well. My cat’s not even American lol. I adopted her oversees from a different continent.

I feel like Apple News used to block articles from blocked sources? IIRC the gray box showing that an article/source was blocked would still be there and it might have said what the source was, but I don’t remember it telling you the title of it or anything. Just something like “an article from Fox News was blocked”.

Anyway I think people itt recommended the Trakt app for tv episode tracking. Is there a way to mark a tv series as “not interested in watching anymore” so that it doesn’t show up in my “continue watching” feed? Without deleting the tv series entirely?

Pretty sure your only option would be to switch to 'Single Tab' mode in Settings. That puts the bar back at the top as well though.

Not the OP but I have my address bar at the top and it still shows this annoying tab bar on the bottom.



It’s super annoying.

Chewy started pushing deals to me even though I disabled “deals” so I just ended up turning the whole app off. Kinda sucks because the tracking and auto ship notices are nice.

Kind of a long shot but is anyone else having trouble logging into the Kroger app? The app refuses to let me log in citing incorrect credentials but I can log in on the website just fine and I was logged in in the app until recently.

The reason this kinda matters to me is because Kroger has a ton of coupons and savings that aren’t advertised in store. The Kroger app can be used to scan barcodes which opens the product page and then you can see if there’s any coupons or cash back to clip to your account. It’s a non-insignificant savings.

You can also say "set a timer for 5 pm" and she will do the math and set that timer, whereas before she’d say "I can’t do that but I’ll set an alarm instead" causing my alarm list to become massive.

“Set an alarm for five minutes” makes no sense in English, unless you add “from now” to the end.

It makes perfect sense because you understood it without any ambiguity.

My iOS to Imgur upload shortcut seems to have broken, anyone know a good share sheet shortcut for photo sharing (to whatever free service, not sure if imgur is still the best option)

Also is there an iOS shortcut thread here?

Swing by the Awful app thread. We have shortcuts for days.

Look at the last pages of that thread or the iPhone thread. You'll know you're in the right place when you see pictures of cattes and doggos.

Alternatively I've found that just signing up for their email and/or sms tracking is "good enough" and I don't really need it updated in real time in a shiny app.

Having trouble watching YouTube videos on my iPad with the Vinegar extension. On my iPhone it works fine, but on my iPad videos are just back screens and audio only. Anyone know how to fix this? I've tried disabling and reenabling the extension.
