Twain of Pain posted:I just started using Paprika which seems to work pretty well. Not sure if it's worth $5 but it hasn't been a bad use of Google funbux. It's also recommended by The Wirecutter who generally seem to know their stuff. I know the dev for Paprika used to post here a couple of years ago. I liked the app well enough but it had some weird Android quirks. Edit: And it hasn't been updated in a long time. Updated January 4, 2015

peepsalot posted:The google+ app on my Nexus 5 won't open, it just sits at the logo screen with a big G+ in a red circle. How can i make this work? There was a fairly large update to G+ over the past few weeks that's had some non Play Store stuff pushed at the back end too. I wouldn't uninstall updates but I would clear it's data and cache.

The traffic ones aren't addresses and the mobile Maps app doesn't like vague cross roads. I'd wager that the weird formatting on the last two prevents the algorithm from seeing the address listed. For shits and giggles I pasted the last two in a standard Google & Maps search and they can't really figure it out either Maker Of Shoes fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Teeter posted:It used to be built in to Maps, where you could just flip the Latitude thing on and select people would see your location on their map. I suppose the Facebook app is the best option because it's cross-platform and nearly everyone has it, I'm mostly just upset that it's another feature that Google appears to have switched around and abandoned altogether. Google has been doing that for over a decade. And I can't really fault them for this specific change. Friend location is a very social thing. Why did they have a social thing in a utility app to begin with?

Putting my family on a Music/Red plan was easily the most successful Christmas gift I gave out this year. Kid watches a ton of YouTube, fiance listens to a ton of music at school and at the odd times a fire up a YouTube link it's super nice to never have to see an ad. Beyond worth it.

Tunga posted:Anyone using Google Play Family sharing? It says that my payment method is invalid and therefore won't let me share any apps. But the card works fine for buying stuff and no amount of switching the family payment method or re-entering card details makes any difference. Anyone else got this? I've seen it before and I was forced to email Google support. I just went here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6286986 Clicked on Contact Us on the top right. You can request either a chat or a call.

AlexDeGruven posted:Oh man, the amount of YouTube content my kids consume on my XBOne makes Red 2000%+ worth it. When my oldest forgets and launches YT from his account it's staggering how many (and how lovely they are) ads come in. This. I don't consume much YouTube outside a few random videos but my kid does. I didn't realize how grating the constant ads coming out of his room were until I put the family on Red.

CLAM DOWN posted:Oh weeeeird. That's good for Android users who have the latest play services I guess, which again I think that probably covers a majority of phones at least here in north america would be my guess? Doesn't solve the issue of cross platform though. Correct on both counts. It's really well built and lovely to use but I struggle to find it useful as an everyday app short of a few tech nerds I chat with.
