For me, the tweets remaining counter is sometimes there and sometimes not. It doesn't seem like it's super consistent. But it was exactly the same way in Tweetbot 3.

The number shows up only when there are unread tweets on screen. If you've scrolled back down into tweets you've read before, it goes away. You can tap on the conversation bubble tab button on the bottom to jump to the most recent unread tweet and he number will come back.

I have no idea why it works this way, but that's what I've figured out.
Yeah but it doesn't show up for me sometimes even when I'm going through unread tweets and haven't scrolled back :haw:

It is, but Chrome is great at blocking bad content, faster for browsing, and it syncs up with all my bookmarks/searches from Chrome on my PC which makes it an ideal, seamless browsing experience for me.

For whatever reason my notifications aren't showing up as a badge icon on my Facebook app. I tried logging out on the app and then back in, turning them off and on again in the notifications part of settings.app, uninstalling/reinstalling the app, etc. Just doesn't seem to want to work.

I expect nothing less from this garbage app but I wonder why this is happening all of a sudden.

Lifehack: instead of ordering a Flake McFlurry, order a 50c cone w/ Flake (+50c), ask for a spoon with the cone and a free cup of water. Down the water, dump the soft serve into the cup, break the flake, and you have a McFlurry for 1/5 the price.

Do this only 3 times and you will have saved enough money to afford Tweetbot.

Anyone else getting fb messenger crashing on start up? iOS 11 on iPhone 7 Plus. Tried restarting the phone and deleting/redownloading.
Not Messenger, but the FB app fails to load when I open it sometimes. I'll have to go back to the home screen and then try loading it again and then it works. Also on a 7+, but you know, this has been happening for a while, so it's definitely not isolated to iOS11, and it may not even be isolated to the 7+.

I think Facebook just employ some real no-knowledge app developers. I've had issues with their apps for years that I haven't had with other popular apps, and I feel like once they finally push an update that fixes my issues, the update will remove features that I used regularly before so it just creates new issues.

This seems like something that should've been worked out and standardized across all (or most, at least) new cars years ago, but it totally hasn't and that's really stupid.

You buy a new car expecting it to have all this fancy new tech, and in some ways it does, but when it comes to stuff like using a phone with it (which tons of people want to do seamlessly), most cars are severely lacking in that.

Why? What's wrong with it?

I've been using the pro version for years and I've never had any problems with it. It gives me all the options I want in a weather app/weather widget. Is there another app that has the same options/customizablity that's more accurate?

I ran into issues where it was either not pulling data at all (it would display temp and time from 12 hours prior) or it was pulling data from an entirely different area. Even the radar map would be for another state. I just uninstalled and moved on to Carrot Weather.

I mean if it works for you, by all means keep using it. I'm just saying I could no longer rely on it so I found another one that I could.
I'll run into a bug every now and then where it'll list one day in the 7 day forecast as being 9999 degrees, but nothing beyond that. I usually just laugh it off. Radar's always worked consistently, for my area at least.

Since BeWeather's bugs started getting pointed out ITT, I've started noticing some in mine, like weather displaying as 30 degrees when it's actually 90 or it saying "Next hour: No data available" or stuff like that.

Is there a weather app that has a customizable widget like BeWeather does but with accurate weather info? I don't mind paying a few bucks.

I already tried out Hello Weather and that one didn't.

I looked at Carrot's UI and I still like BeWeather's layout way more, even if some of the weather data is garbage. Not paying for that when I already paid for BeWeather ages ago.

I guess what I want is an app with BeWeather's exact UI/customizability but with always-accurate weather data.

I started using Pocket Casts a few weeks ago and it's my favorite now, thanks to the trim silence feature, the extensively customizable speed settings, and the web player/PC app which sync to your account and display all the most recent episodes of your podcasts.

I was using Downcast before that for years and it also rules, though it doesn't have those same features.

Twitteriffic wrote a blog post about the upcoming changes due to Twitter being shitheads who are intentionally breaking their APIs for third-party apps. In short, they can no longer do live streaming of tweets, so they may be 1-2 minutes behind, and if you want notifications, you'll have to turn them on in the official app. TweetBot will be updating with similar soon, I'm sure.

So Tweetbot 5 came out and I'm down with all the changes except for the one where it's even worse about notifying me when people mention me.

I know Twitter limited access to third-party apps recently and this was also an issue in Tweetbot 4, but 4 felt like it handled this better than 5. I don't think I'm getting any notifications in 5. I didn't turn notifications off or anything, but like sometimes I'll check Tweetbot and someone will have @'ed me hours ago but I was never notified about it.

e: lol wait, I checked my notification settings in the app and they were all shut off. I had to turn them back on. I definitely hadn't turned them off though. Does updating to 5 just disable all notifications by default??? :raise:

I updated earlier and checked the new stats page, which kindly let me know that since I started using Pocket Casts in June, I've listened to 15 days worth of podcasts :shepicide:

At least I haven't been using this as my podcast app ever since I started listening to podcasts regularly years ago. That number would be something staggering if so.
