I'm pretty sure knowing that I'm not paying a random amount of money for a subscription alarm clock will do wonders for my sleep. Is there any way to get the built-in Bedtime alarm clock to use a glaring klaxon alarm instead of soft tinkly good-vibes poo poo? The damned thing doesn't wake me up half the half the time if I fall asleep with my phone in another room.

It isn't hard to think of plenty of cases where frequency of use wouldn't correlate with how badly you want or need updates and background refreshes.

I guess it isn't that horrible in the grand scheme of things, but when I'm looking into an app and on the fence about it, a recurring charge for perpetuity makes me nope the gently caress out of there real quick.

Google Keep supports shared lists. The android app is markedly better than the iOS app because you can see each other typing and have an edit war in real time

There's still no way to get twitter links to open in a third-party app instead of the official client if you have it installed, right?

priznat posted:Anyone know if there are any apps that allow you to mass delete safari bookmarks on iOS? For some reason I have hundreds of “No title” folders on mine, probably some cloud link service thing that was broken and I didn’t notice filling up my bookmarks with this crap. If you have a mac delete them in OS X safari, or set up bookmark syncing in iColud windows and get the chrome extension* then delete them in chrome *this may be what gave you hundreds of dupes, if my experience is any indication. Hasn't happened lately, though

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Had a quick question which I can't seem to find an answer to on google. The best way I've found to add your own books to the native Books app is to add them to it on a mac and have them icloud sync over to the ipad.  If I open documents from the filesystem (icloud or smb) on the ipad they don't seem to stick around in the app's library

bleh, looks like all the poo poo I already paid for still works, and the ridiculous subscription fee doesn't add anything I really care about, though if they're making things like "custom event colors" and "time zones" premium features its days are probably numbered e: if you add an event there's a color button that nags you for money

Is there another app where you type/dictate the details of a new calendar event into a single field and it reliably parses out the name, time, date, etc? That's my favorite fantastical feature

One more vote for paprika. On a related note, what's a good reader for pdf/epub documents that will let me copy/paste out of it without appending quotation marks and an attribution like the apple books app does?

ArcaneMan posted:Is there an app where I can take a picture of a receipt or bill and it saves a pdf and does text recognition and perhaps saves metadata like bill totals, date, etc.?

GreenBuckanneer posted:Is there an app that works well with transferring pdf/cbr files to the ipad from windows? I've tried several apps, and they seem to transfer data to the specific app's "documents and data" but when I go to load up that program, the program, doesn't matter what, never seems to "see" the data properly, and there's no file manager I can find that actually views the filesystem so I can move/copy them out of whereever the gently caress they went to, so instead I have to delete the whole app in order to clear out that used storage space. you can mount an SMB share in the Files app and copy your documents over that way, then open them with the app of your choice

I have a feeling that the extensions targeting particular large, monetized websites like youtube and twitter aren’t going to have a very long life in the app store. Apple killed off all the alternative youtube video player apps a few years back

Neurophonic posted:NextDNS + extra blocklists. The free tier is plenty for phone browsing. This is working well for me so far, except that the “GoodbyeAds” list (and maybe others?) blocks metrics.icloud.com which appears to break the App Store on an iOS device. At least I think it’s that domain. Whitelisting it appears to have fixed the problem

I’ve found that looking at the radar is the only real way to determine whether a slight chance of rain is actually a guaranteed downpour and the radar map in the new weather app fails to load for me about nine times out of ten and is extremely low resolution and blotchy when it does

Import all the recipes you like into Paprika? (This has the huge caveat that Paprika's recipe parser is way better at getting recipes out of webpages than at translating PDF-formatted ingredient lists into something comprehensible)

OldSenileGuy posted:Is Paprika the go-to app for recipe organization? It's 5 bucks but if it's good and doesn't have a subscription i'm happy to pay it. Paprika is awesome, the only new feature I truly need is a way to completely disable the in-app browser, which is only good if you want to know what a mommyblogger recipe site looks like in tyool 2024 without an ad blocker, because you're trying to kill an epileptic person or something I have no idea about parsing out instagram recipes. I suppose that is the brave new frontier of content scraping, which I think instagram itself will fight tooth and nail if they catch anybody doing it. Youtube people usually at least have the decency to put the damned recipe in the notes
