iPhone apps S/D

darksky looks awesome; I may have to get this.

i know, i hate buying apps but this kind of specificity makes it super tempting...

I buy apps all the time. Some a buck, some a few, seldom more than $5. I use some sparingly, delete the ones I don't use. The really useful ones I'd readily pay $10 for, but since they usually cost less I just realize that going through a handful of dollar or free apps that I spend a little time on and throw out is part of the price of finding the good ones.

the only apps i've bought are like, games i couldn't live without (and hardly use anymore...) and this sleep cycle app because i never hear my alarm(s). oh and instapaper (which i also rarely use now). everything else, free free free

sleep cycle app?

http://www.sleepcycle.com/

yeah, you fire up the app and put it on your mattress when you go to sleep and it somehow monitors where you are at in your sleep cycle based on your movements...and it starts a 30 minute window of your desired wake up time and wakes you up when you're at the lightest point in your sleep? i don't know how great the science is, but it works okay for me. i don't have a regular mattress, but i think if i did, it would work better. i'm a really heavy sleeper...

xp yeah that link explains it better than i did!

I tried to use it and basically had to punt because I didn't have a free outlet to use to plug in my phone

i mean i still use it in tandem with 2 other alarm clocks, so...it's not like it's the best thing ever.

I use it exclusively, it's great

there's talk about it upthread; I thought it had its own dedicated thread but I can't seem to find it

i do and i just bought it. let's see.

fwiw I haven't used it lately but I have a bracelet that does the same thing

I like spending money on apps, but then, I live in a small apartment.

I've bought tons of apps. The ones I use most are Instapaper, Reeder, maybe not much else.

WDYSCLL? (search for: SleepCycle)

Probably said elsewhere upthread, but what's the best current app for recording phone calls?

is there one?

it always drove me cuh-RAZY that my iphone couldnt record calls while my sony ericsson shitphone totally could

i use google voice

what does it sound like

sounds pretty good

hello my future girlfriend

does anyone have a solution to this problem:

-i'm going to a cottage for a few days
-need to do some work on my MBP when i'm there
-may need to email some files from my MBP
-no wifi, and my iphone doesnt do mobile hotspot/tethering
-can i get files off my computer and onto my phone and email them over 3g?

you can do it over USB. might need to download an app onto your MBP.

then where do i 'find' that stuff? on my phone?

An app like FileApp allows you to do this. You do the transfer in iTunes when the phone's connected. It's kind of buried in one of the iPhone tabs there (at work so can't give you step-by-step)

yeah, i can guess how to do it from itunes - but will i be able to email it from fileapp on my phone?

Yes. Just checked on my phone. There's the regular "send by email" action.

thanks!

So yeah - at home now. When you're iPhone's plugged in, you click on it in iTunes, then go to the "Apps" tab. At the bottom, there's a section called "File sharing", in which apps like FileApp show up and allow you to add files.

STILL cannot find a good app for giving me bike directions in and around Philadelphia (and outside of too I guess but that's not as important). Has anyone had any luck w/ bike direction apps?

google maps is okay, if you use the website and not the app

do they do bikes in mobile now?? last time I tried they didn't

Any way to stream audio from computer to iPhone over WiFi? So I can just play something on my laptop upstairs and listen to it on the kitchen w/ headphones?

Oh apparently Orb Live does it but I'm not paying $10 to do this. Anything besides that?

you could maybe set up dropbox to do something like that?

The only way to play more than one song at a time that I know of is through BoxyTunes, and w/ that you have to download all of the files to your phone :(

http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/ios/ is what you want

(ah, it needs Airfoil for Mac, which I have but forgot is £20)

I haven't tried SqueezeCast yet, but it sounds like it would work:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/squeezecast/id344982128?mt=8

You'd have to install the (free) Squeezebox server on your laptop and tell it to use your iTunes library (if that's where your music is). The SqueezeCast app should then be able to connect to the server via WiFi and play your tunes on your iPhone.

Hey, it works

Home Sharing does this if you just want to listen to your iTunes library.

audiogalaxy?

Where do the Notes sync to when you connect your iphone to yr laptop? All the internet tells me is the mac method (I'm PC) or 'in Outlook', but I can't see them anywhere. It's definitely syncing some things automatically, as my calendar shows up in Outlook. Help :/

any recommend a good terminal app? need to ssh etc

havent tried it but Prompt is written by the panic dudes who are pretty good at designing mac stuff: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prompt/id421507115?mt=8

I think Prompt is iPad-only? iSSH pretty decent.

No, Prompt works on iPhone too. It's pretty good.

I stand corrected!
