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!

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.

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.

How I Wrote Matchstick Men (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 July 2015 02:28 (eight years ago) link

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.

Je55e, Thursday, 16 July 2015 17:48 (eight years ago) link

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

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

rip van wanko, Friday, 6 January 2017 21:23 (seven years ago) link

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.

groovypanda, Friday, 6 January 2017 22:56 (seven years ago) link

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

Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 6 January 2017 23:54 (seven years ago) link

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

his eye is on despair-o (Jon not Jon), Saturday, 7 January 2017 01:33 (seven years ago) link

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

rip van wanko, Saturday, 7 January 2017 08:42 (seven years ago) link

Mobdro apk, not app

rip van wanko, Saturday, 7 January 2017 08:42 (seven years ago) link

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?

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Monday, 16 January 2017 19:59 (seven years ago) link

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

DJI, Monday, 16 January 2017 20:37 (seven years ago) link

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)

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

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?

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 27 December 2017 22:02 (six years ago) link

Overdrive is the runaway market leader there afaik

Reeder v3 is now free β€” still by far the best RSS reader imo

Overdrive now has an app called Libby that looks kind of charming and easy to use.

The NYPL has something called SimplyE that is pretty bad.

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

Jeff, Saturday, 1 September 2018 14:08 (five years ago) link

Libby is great. Simple easy.

Jeff, Saturday, 1 September 2018 14:09 (five years ago) link

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

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Saturday, 1 September 2018 14:32 (five years ago) link

You can change the colour scheme in Reeder now

stet, Saturday, 1 September 2018 14:46 (five years ago) link

Yes, to more kinds of gray.

Jeff, Saturday, 1 September 2018 15:42 (five years ago) link

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