iPhone apps S/D

ya honestly i find NNW is still so buggy its useless

doesnt sync properly either... folders thing... etc etc

Nothing like that here.

gps tracker!

OK - you NNW freaks officially need your own thread. Aren't there other cool apps we can talk about? Anyone using BeatMaker regularly?

Why bother? The free one's good enough.
I wanted the remember-where-you-are thingy, and I liked it enough that I want to pay the dude for it. All the reviews of other apps going "Ya totly awesum app but SHLD BE FREE one star" piss me off, but saying that, £6 is steep

remember-where-you-are? What's that do?

New version of Frotz will extract .dat files from .zip files.

It keeps your place in a long document, which is v. handy

How does it integrate with things that use documents?

I'd check the app before asking but I don't know what it's called.

instapaper pay-for version = less-useful rip-off

i think it's more that the free one is so good, rather than that this one isn't worth $10. also in what way is it less useful? i'm finding it much more so (remembering place in document, deleting pages).

Frotz 1.0.1 is out and it extracts dats from zips. I just installed every compatible Infocom game, whoo.

yes rip-off is wrong, it just feels like much too much of the price is donation rather than for getting features.

I think it is less useful because of the honking great bar at the bottom to turn on tilt scrolling, which I don't like at all.

Jesus, mobile safari's keyboard is some laggy shit in 2.2

Tilt in Safari keeps not working.

Air Sharing. Free. For a while. That is all.

NNW latest release is hell of buggy.

Fucking Aurora Feint update screwed the game for me. Lost my character and i can't get past the initial game tutorial.

Thanks for the Air Sharing tip! Nice little useful app.

The 2.1 firmware prevents Frotz playing any games it didn't come with. I think this is an insurmountable fucking problem.

lol I was just coming here to post about Air Sharing

also lol at The Game app

air sharing and stanza are so good!!

OTM.

I wish there was an app to receive bluetooth files, but it's against the SDK rules.

Which Twitter app is the best? I like Twitterrific but haven't looked at many of the others. Ned needs a good one.

All the effing rules on the iPhone are weak. My Sony phone could tether, drag-and-drop mp3s in the finder/Windows Explorer, and copy files to and from the device over Bluetooth. iPhone? You have to use iTunes to manage MP3s, and god forbid you try to copy them FROM the iPhone (and I actually have MP3s that I CREATED and have copyright for), no tethering allowed, and no bluetooth file management. Plus, no USB file storage. It's weak.

Did you actually think this was going to be different from the last 4 years of Apple mobile products? STFU & take it here: I HATE APPLE

Not that I didn't BUY one... It's more of a love/hate thing.

its like having a gifted child who just wont try

actually i'm a little fed up with the way my iphone handles email--

it takes forever to download the headers, and then sometimes even longer to download the message content. anyone else experience this? (i'm still on the edge iphone)

lately i've been yearning for the days of instant blackberry email. shiiit.

I haven't noticed on my iphone. But the way the text messages look is AWESOME. I do mind the automatic spelling checker. :-( Half the time I don't notice so it switches words. Other than that, it ROCKS. I have an iphone. YAY.

yeah, cutty is otm abt the loading times of on iphone e-mail

there's so much wrong with it, but it's still by far and away the best phone/electronics I've ever owned

search: the style.com app which is very well done

NNW latest release is hell of buggy

it's fucked. so much so i've just downgraded to, er, version 1.0.7 (no idea where 1.0.8 went off my HD, but hey). the biggest problem is not removing read items/feeds from the list ... i know some people didn't like the scorched-earth way it did that, and i guess that's why it was nice there was a little menu to control how long things stuck around. only, er, it DIDN'T WORK.

there's a lot of moaning here; apparently a new version has already been sent to apple for upload to the app store, but fuck knows when that'll happen :)

Byline FTW.

How do you downgrade apps, btw?

stet -- right click on app, reveal app in finder and then replace copy in iTunes hierarchy with copy from yr time machine backup

this was a bit more awkward as the name of the .ipa file was different. but deleting the new one, then doing an apple-I on the app in iTunes and telling it where to look for the old one (ie in, er, the same folder) worked fine.

oh top, thanks.

Ta Grimly.

Plus, no USB file storage. It's weak.

How much does a USB stick cost these days?

oh cool, it keeps old versions of the .ipa!?!!!!

i guess it's only kept the old version because the new one had a slightly different name (ie has 1.0.9 on the end) so didn't overwrite. that'd explain where 1.0.8 went, i guess.

the email bugs me too--cant tell if its the network or the phone but its slow and it doesnt really "push" the mail

Whoever suggested style.css ON IPHONE gets one (1) free sexing from me.

Don't get the latest 2 Across if you want LA Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, or AARP crosswords. They're being removed in the latest update.

2 Across is several dollars well spent.

This latest NNW is worse than I thought. It's actually unuseable.

haha what else is new.

has anyone used any of the ny subway apps? am i revealing myself as a jersey kid by even asking?

just installed 2.1.

that whole thing about dramatically faster backup times?

ITS A LIE
