Other than the stock mail.app, can anyone recommend a good Exchange client? Ideally, it would be all in one (email, cal, Todo, etc...) but I can work around just email. I was using Mail+ for Outlook and loved it, but with the 6 Plus the Comically Huge Fonts/Keyboard is starting to get on my nerves.

I'm a huge fan of Acompli and the iOS 8 update for it just dropped over the weekend. It's an all-in-one client that pulls in *everything*.

Do you know if it does push gmail or can I still only get that via the gmail app?

I *think* it's push since it goes through their servers as an intermediary (same way they do Exchange push). The server-side retention understandably freaks out some privacy advocates - for me personally, they state pretty firmly in their privacy policy they won't resell data to 3rd parties and I'm more concerned about the NSA politely asking Gmail for my passwords when adjusting my tinfoil hat.

This looks dope. Why is it free?

Venture capital. Pretty sure their long term plan is corporate enterprise deals.

Is there a better & well-integrated solution for managing Contacts in iOS? The built in app is kind of a mess, as far as I can tell. I have users having a really hard time with syncing from Exchange, contacts going missing, dupes being created, etc.

Is there a go-to drop-in replacement for executive types?

CoBook used to be a good answer but it got acquired and abandoned. Still might be worth a look.

Does Untappd cover other non-beer drinks? I like a nice fruity Rekorderlig or a Bailey's and milk or whatever. I'd like to be able to keep track of places in my city that serve those sorts of things.

Greetings fellow mixed drinker! Sadly it does not.

possible new app idea! PassdOut

The benefit to using Plex is that it's fairly universally supported. I can use a Plex client on my PS3, for example.

Just a shout out if there's still someone unfamiliar, the free version of Hiya has had about a 100% ID rate for me on telemarketer/robocalls. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hiya-caller-id-and-block/id986999874?mt=8 (just reminded because it blocked another one)

I've just moved over from Android and the only thing I can't find are apps that :

1. Have certain apps require an extra fingerprint login

2. Create a hidden folder for media storage

Any recommendations?

Sounds like you're the target market for this new app!

Private photo vault apps have existed for years. Nude, a new app from two 21-year-old entrepreneurs from UC Berkeley, attempts to create the most sophisticated one yet. Its key innovation is using machine learning libraries stored on the phone to scan your camera roll for nudes automatically and remove them to a private vault. The app is now available on iOS, and I spent the past week testing it.

e;fb so let's add some content...

All this is telling me is that at least one guy was paid to look at dick pics all day and mark them as either “dick” or “no dick” to get some machine learning data or whatever and then someone else, possibly the same guy, had a job designing an algorithm to sort out dicks and to babysit the algorithm in case it goes too wrong.

What an exciting world.

Not just dicks!

quote:

Chiu and Chen attempted to use existing, open-source data sets to detect nudes. But they found that the results were often inaccurate, especially for people of color. And so they built software to scrape sites like PornHub for representative images, eventually amassing a collection of 30 million images. The algorithm still isn’t perfect, the founders say. (“If you have man boobs, those will be imported,” Chen says.)

I bet this doesn't work on images of people with skin tones that aren't white

They said that their first pre-importing-all-of-Pornhub revision had that problem, so I imagine now they just flag every picture of anyone as a nude. Which for many is accurate.

Ever tried Waze? Once you do you'll probably stick with it.

Depending on the rate of your adoption where you live, Waze is either a Google Maps clone with less features and worse UI, or a complete life-changing experience.

Being that I live in Austin, a massively overpopulated city that can't spell "urban planning", it's definitely at the life-changing end of the scale for me, but if you don't have hundreds of people feeding real-time updates on your route as you drive it may not be all that.

Google owns Waze and is supposed to be incorporating Waze reports into Google Maps but I haven't seen it the few times I've tried.

I switched to KeePass because I hate 1password's new subscription strategy (the only thing that would make it worse is if they somehow ~pivoted to video~) and it isn't nearly as painful as I remember!

I've done some searching and heard about Spark, Edison, and (ugh)Outlook. I'm open to paying for an app if it's good, but I don't really want a subscription service. I actually already downloaded Outlook and it's surprisingly not bad for a Microsoft app, but I'm wondering if something better is out there, or a goon-consensus "best mail app."

Outlook is probably the best (it's what I use) if you're using Exchange. It started out life as a third-party mail app (Acompli) that Microsoft bought, branded, and made minor changes to.
