ooh, feedbin looks promising. I'll probably get an account for this once the Mac version of Reeder is updated or in July when Google reader closes.

Not sure if this is the place to post this or the OS X app thread since it kind of involves both, but I'll try here first. I finally feel the need to purchase a password management apps that will sync between iOS and OS X. It seems like 1Password and DataVault are the two most popular solutions. Anyone have experience on which one I should go with? 1Password is quite a bit more expensive, but seems to have some useful features that DataVault doesn't. Is it worth the extra money for 1Password?
It really is. Might be my new weather app.

Anyone here use mercury browser for opening torrent files? Safary (with download manager) seems to be able to save them as a recogniseable torrent file but mercury saves them as some php plain text file. Now I have to switch to safary to actually get a file that utorrent will recognise.

Given that what you're describing is some sort of MIME type error, it probably depends on the site serving the .torrent file.
Is there any app that allows you to schedule reminders every four weeks instead of the same day every month? I have been using the default reminders app but my weekly and monthly reminders have been getting out of sync, and I need them not to.
I can use the calender app if I have to, but a reminder app works better for me. I like being able to check things off.

Howdy guys.... I hope it's appropriate to self promote an app that a friend and I have been working on.
I'll give the link here:
Gurles
It is the first Selfie network.
Website is here.
Website is very simple because it's all about the app. It's available through Google Play as well.
I think most GAFFERS will like it. It's rated 12+ by Apple and we officially launched about 16 hours ago and jumped from about 500 in the Social Networking charts to a peak of 83 and hovering around about 90 now.
Check it out and let me know what you think, it would be great to get some GAF Feedback!

Congrats on the release. That's awesomely narcissistic. I actually like the idea. The branding is not quite up my alley, but the overall aesthetic and vision is internally consistent. Good luck to you guys!

Check wunderlist.
1password is really better in terms of encryption your data and keeping it safe.
I'm on computer science and my teachers who are experts on cryptography trust more on 1password.
What... does this actually work?
What did your teachers have to say about the recent exposure of a 1Password design flaw?

Neat app from one of the Kickoff devs. It finds new and upcoming albums based on your music library.

Notifications can be local as well.
This is amazing! I was literally just thinking over the weekend how much I wanted something like this. sogood.gif
Does anyone have any experience with Ecoute? It seems like a slick replacement for the default Music app but it doesn't seem to add much in terms of functionality. I'm hesitant to pay £1.99 for an app that doesn't do anything different than a coat of paint.
well, everything has flaws.
the only sure way to never have troube is saving every password on your brain. xD
and even that isn't 100% safe.
And no pc or software is 100% safe, unfortunately.

Thanks for the response, that's the way I was leaning.

It has queueing functionality, and last.fm scrobbling if you're into that. It's pretty damn good, I don't use it much though cause (like most apps now) it doesn't run too well on my iPhone 4.Does anyone have any experience with Ecoute?

Although it is a design flaw, I'm not sure why you would surmise that it's particularly problematic. An attacker needs local access to your files; he still needs to crack your master password (which, if you've chosen correctly, is not feasible regardless of the encryption used); this is simply a flaw in the implementation of the algorithm that allows automated attacks to be a little faster--and it's already been noted by the team that makes the software and being patched on a go-forward basis.

So despite being a long time fan of Tweetbot (I've bought it on all platforms, including Mac) I just can't get away from the fact that I spend a lot of my time working at a Windows PC and it frustrates me not having access to a fully synchronised Twitter page/client.
Can anyone recommend a replacement for Tweetbot that provides the ability to sync your timeline position across at least iOS, Mac and Windows (as I say, it could be browser based)? An Android option would be useful as well on the off-chance that I jump ship in the future. I'm no power user, so multiple accounts etc. don't really mean a great deal to me.

well tweetbot uses tweetmarker (icloud is the other option) and that is cross platform. there should be one windows client that uses tweetmarker, right?
Interesting point. I have it configured to use iCloud, but I'll see if I can search down something for Windows that uses Tweetmarker.
EDIT: http://tweetmarker.net/
Thanks, looks like I have some research to do.
Well, Webmarker is horrible and I'm not sure what to make of Watrermark. Everything else (aside from Nymphacus, which I'm considering) appears to be a Windows 8 app which means METRO IN MY FACE! 
And reading this doesn't fill me with hope that even Tweetmarker will remain forever. Why couldn't Twitter just leave their third party support the fuck alone? Wankers.
Tempted to ditch it altogether.

Is there a podcast app that's for iPhone and iOS and automatically downloads podcasts and syncs them up within both iPhone and iPad?
Downcast. Plus it's Universal.

Has anyone had syncing issues with Downcast? I typically listen to podcasts on my phone, but occasionally I'll use my iPad if I'm home, since I have it linked via bluetooth to my Jambox. Whenever I open Downcast on my iPad, though, it syncs down every podcast that is "new" to it rather than new to me, which could be hundreds depending on how long it's been since I sync'ed my iPad last. So I basically don't use my iPad for podcasts anymore.
Other than that Downcast is awesome.

Check the iCloud sync settings. They're actually pretty granular.

Downcast is really good. If you happen to have a Mac too that you are trying to sync with, Instacast just came out with their beta podcast app for Mac and they have a universal app for iOS. They use their own cloud solution for syncing between devices instead of iCloud. I've only been using it instead of Downcast for a week but it seems to work well enough. The biggest downside is the price. The iOS app is $5 and it looks like the license for the Mac app is going to be $15 once it's out for beta at the end of the month whereas I believe that Downcast is only $2.
If any one wants to learn Spanish, the Brainscape app is free today (normally, $10)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/learn-spanish-brainscape/id435124768?mt=8
They also have some other free programs today for things like vocab ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gre-vocab-genius/id380833751?mt=8 ), music theory ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/music-theory-with-audio/id438110068?mt=8 ), French ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/learn-french-vocabulary/id405358036?mt=8 & https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/learn-french-vocabulary/id405358036?mt=8 ), and etc:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/brainscape/id380833754
I bought the Spanish one at $10 a few months ago, but if some of you guys get in on this for free, maybe I'll feel a little better
Note that they sometimes update their apps to demo versions so make sure you create and login with an account.

They do. It's not for the free version yet though.

You might still be able to back up to a previous version if you synched with your computer.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask..
I've downloaded loads of Podcasts using the iOS official app, but when I goto iTunes on my Mac they aren't appearing in there, anyone know why? New music that I bought on the iPhone is in iTunes when I open it, just not podcasts. Any ideas? Cheers!

I don't think it syncs individual podcast downloads, only subscriptions.

That's not working either
I've just synced my phone with USB on iTunes and they still aren't in sync. They are both showing completely different podcasts! In fact, if I goto the iTunes store on my Mac, it doesn't show I am subscribing to ones that I am subscribed to through my phone. Very weird.After searching online, it sounds like subscriptions don't sync between devices, only if you've listed to a certain one (that you've subscribed to on each device! If that's really true, what a stupid idea! Can't even get that working now, wtf.
Are you sure the feature is gone? People at macrumors say its still there after update

Free version limits the amount of cache you can do, not sure why they haven't disabled it fully. Perhaps it was only the unlimited cache on the premium version that Apple & Youtube object to.
Thanks! Good to know, I'll inevitably forget to cancel by the end of the year so I'm glad it can be done before the end of the subscription.
