iPhone apps S/D

There’s just so much shit, and so much of it has a tenuous future. Google Keep? I mean... A bunch of these iOS apps could disaappear eventually too. So, yes, data portability is key. And maybe don’t just leave your stuff in iCloud Drive, ET. You should probably back that up somewhere else too. I hope you have!

I just migrated all my shit from Evernote to OneNote, sayonara fuckers

Geographic and service redundancy

(A thumbs up.)

notational velocity + dropbox + notesy

yes that's how i do it too, but stevie d is on windows when not on phone so

Plus that trio fucked up horribly for me and I lost a ton of notes.

i haven't had trouble with it since i started being careful about not having two copies of NV open at the same time. but yeah, potential for havoc.

I'm doing this thing where I forget almost everything on purpose

Straightforward (and accurate) OCR app? Best I've found so far is MS Office Lens, but you have to upload the scan to Word or other MS product. I'd like to just scan and immediately have text that I can C/P.

FB app will not let post the first comment on a thread, comment button does not seem to work. If there are existing comments I can click on those to get comment box.

I don't know if this is the best place to even ask this, but does anyone know the best way to download or print iPhone text messages? A client needs to turn over all text messages between himself and 3 or 4 other people; too many for screenshots to be feasible. (He doesn't have a Mac and some of the texts are w/ non-Apple users, otherwise he could just print from Messages.) I've Googled this and it's still unclear what's worth buying.

There's a way to extract it from a back up; hold on

Thanks, Stevie. Let's see if the client can handle it....

anyone heard of Mobdro? it's absolutely blowing my mind. streaming tv with basically everything you could want. i'm old and out of touch so more than likelyit's either a) well known/passe, or b) malware/trojan or something

c) both ;)

As far as I know, it's as safe as the next unauthorised app. Lots (and lots) of people use it though with little (if any) reported problems.

Not been able to find it in the App Store? Only something called mobdro but for music only? Confusing.

There's a few different apps called that in the store, I'm curious which one you're using?

It's not in the app store. I just searched mobdro app and downloadEd from a mirror
It's been pretty great so far.

Mobdro apk, not app

Yeah, you'll have to sideload it as it's banned by Apple and Google.

I bought a $2 alarm clock app in which I can "record" the steps I take to my kitchen (coffee pot) and the alarm is supposed to ring until I get up and walk there each morning, but it doesn't work properly. Anyone got a good alarm clock app that does GPS well?

do smartphone GPS's work well enough to reliably/consistently measure, like, several feet? In my experience there's always been a several-meters margin of error but I haven't fucked w/ anything in a few years so ymmv

They don't work indoors, in any case...

I have a big apartment, so it's a good 30 steps! I just want something that knows I am no longer in my bed. I can do math while half asleep and turn off those quiz-based alarms easily :(
I fell asleep at a PJ Harvey concert once, I am a champion sleeper

I fell asleep at the Harmonia concert at le poisson rouge in 2008... while standing up

(I'd just gotten out of the hospital to be fair)

i was not aware of that

Use it all the time.

My kid found these the other day. I rarely use iMessage but who cares this is awesome

any recommendations for video-editing apps other than imovie?

Lumafusion?

are you sure?

My wife just started using it. I watched some of the tutorials with her and it seems pretty damn powerful.

I myself am not a video guy tho

Had a thought this morning that I should start checking ebooks out of the library, and managed to do so over lunch via the OverDrive app. Pretty easy process and works great. Any other good library-associated ebook readers out there?

Overdrive is the runaway market leader there afaik

Reeder v3 is now free — still by far the best RSS reader imo

HATE reeder. It’s too goddamn gray. Fiery Feeds forever.

Libby is great. Simple easy.

Reeder my favorite iOS app, period. V4 underway (hence promo on v3)

You can change the colour scheme in Reeder now

Yes, to more kinds of gray.

Gave up on Reeder awhile back and switched to News Explorer. Staying there.

Scanner app recommendations?

I have happily used Scanner Pro for years.
