That got me the updated version. Here are some release notes by the author: http://feepk.net/2015/02/27/vlc-for-ios-2-4-0/ Apple just yanked it.

CaptainPsyko posted:The App Store is kind of hosed at the moment, but once it's not, there's finally a great free alternative maps/driving directions app. http://360.here.com/2015/03/11/getting-started-ios-basics/ Cynical question of the day? What's their revenue stream (how do they fund this)? I'm real reluctant signing up for a "free" service and handing over data points like "where I am geographically when using app". It's why I'm reluctant to use Google Maps as well, since my data is their commodity as well. I guess I'm still of the mindset that I like the be the consumer that's sold an app, rather than being the product myself that's being sold. I get that it's probably all VC cash right now, but eventually investors are going to want to see some kind of return on it.

I wasn't thinking about location based advertising, more the sale of demographic data. However much companies claim to anonymize I simply can't get that foil hat off my head.

Diabolik900 posted:Apps can't just stay active all the time. No disagreement there. The ten minute limit isn't true anymore though. My understanding is that the apps can now have however long it takes to finish whatever they're doing, but with the major caveat that its time isn't guaranteed to be continuous. Also there are a few ways that apps can be woken up in the background, which wasn't possible before. Wasn't that the issue with Facebook app draining the battery? Constantly doing location updates in the background? 8 is definitely a lot more relaxed in terms of apps that can actively do stuff in the background.

Yeah, the only time I've ever had good results with OCR of *any* kind is when I'm using either a quality PDF or a document scanned on a flatbed scanner. If I'm scanning a doc with a phone it's usually so I can review later or want a copy with a signature. Although I wonder if I can use the OCR built into Devonthink Office Pro on a phone scanned document. I'll have to test it.

I agree, I've tried them all (except todoist), and settled on Omnifocus. I recommend Omnifocus, but really only for people who are juggling multiple projects and would see value in the contextual views of your tasks. Otherwise Reminders seems to work fairly well for most others.

Bottom Liner posted:Does the Amazon music app kill anyone else's battery? My 6+ died really fast yesterday with the Amazon app using the most of the battery, and I wasn't even streaming but playing my offline library. Did you just download the app and start using it? Has this been the behavior for a while if you've been using it longer? Did it just start after the 8.3 update? Another thing to check is to see if it's using location services. Some apps that use location services are buggy and ping your location way too often. I'm looking at you Facebook.

Diabolik900 posted:The wording is confusing, but I believe Apple Music will do everything that Match does. I think Match is just being kept around for people who don't want to pay for Apple Music. This was kicked around in the WWDC thread, and I think that's my conclusion as well. There still *some* Apple Music features for the free tier, but storing your library in iCloud isn't one of them. I'm pretty sure that's the "they compliment each other" part. I already have Beats Music, so my account gets converted at the end of June, but I'm hoping I still get credit for the free introduction period for Apple Music. Regardless, having the iCloud library storage for streaming and the availability of all of Apple's music library(except maybe some artists here and there) pretty much seals the deal. Their library dwarfs any other (legal) streaming services. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Jun 11, 2015 |

Minidust posted:Has it been said whether Apple Music has the same 25K song limit as iTunes match? I'm not looking to discuss whether anyone "needs" that much music. It's just that if I have to start picking and choosing what to include from my library, I'm not gonna be interested in the service. The selling point seems to be the convenience of having ALL your stuff available. iTunes Match wasn't a 25K limit on library size, it was a limit on how many songs you had that didn't match anything in the iTunes catalog and needed to be uploaded. For me it worked out to about 1200 songs out of over 10,000 when iTunes Match started. So unless your library is full of things like field recordings you took of Tuvan Throat Singers, you're probably going to be fine.

TheJoker138 posted:We don't know if it's the same with Apple Music though. I would assume it wouldn't upload stuff that matched things in their streaming library, as the way it's worded says specifically: "If you have music that’s not in our catalog, we upload those songs from iTunes on your Mac or PC." Well it already doesn't upload songs that match regardless of where you bought them. But from the wording on the iTunes Match page, if you bought the songs from say, Amazon, you get access to the iTunes store version for iCloud storage and it counts against your 25K total.

I'm not sure if this is new or not (I think it is), but her phone can't "see" my library in iTunes Match, but can see Purchased music. I have a separate iTunes account (tied to gmail address) from my iCloud account (where my email, cal, and iOS backups live). My Apple Music is tied my iTunes account, not my iCloud account. Same as my iTunes Match account was.

Setting a bunch of alarms is becoming impractical. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alarmed-reminders-+-timers/id371886784?mt=8 It has an in-app purchase for US$2.99 for "Extras Package" that includes this: quote:DayMinders (Extras Package) features repeating reminders throughout the day, such as start at 9:00, repeat every 45 minutes for 8 hours. I downloaded the free version and it looks like Day Minders is *separate* from the a daily repeat. Do you can set a reminder to repeat at a certain day/week/month interval and DayMinder setting to give you additional repeating within each day. I didn't pay for the "Extras Package" to test since I don't really have a use for this. Oh, and it hasn't been updated since Sept of 2013, so no iOS8 optimization and it looks all huge on the 6 and 6 plus.

Ineptitude posted:I haven't used the app store for ages and when trying to buy an IAP a few days ago i had to update my payment info before being able to buy. After updating the payment info i got a prompt asking if i still wanted to buy the IAP. I clicked yes, got the "purchase successful" notification and returned to my app, only to find i didn't receive the purchase. Now i have waited for 2 days and i still haven't received my purchase nor an email from Apple with the purchase confirmation. My bank statement doesn't mention the purchase either. Fire off a message to Apple Support using their web form. Sometimes Apple will wait for small purchases so it can bundle them together with other purchases to submit to the payment processor. I usually see this for 1.99 and 0.99 purchases. Until it's submitted, you don't get a receipt nor is it reflected on your card. Apple support can tell you if it's in the pipe.
