So my dad needs a good app to organize his photos on his iPad. Does iPhoto allow you to easily make folders, and add a description to each photo? If not, any other apps that will allow this?

Anybody used Scanner Pro by Readdle? Any good?
Anybody?
Does he have a Mac? iPhoto for iOS relies a lot on the desktop app. Would he enjoy something like Photo Table?
Mailbox is now available on the iPad.
Two small nit picks:
No image of the day inside the inbox, and it's landscape-only.
Not deal breakers, but I like the daily images, and I'd prefer having the option for both landscape and portrait, since I use my iPad primarily in portrait mode.

Double post!
Wake Alarm for the iPhone is an alarm clock app that looks pretty cool, and seems to have a good idea on how to get you out of bed.
You slap your phone when you need to snooze, you flip your phone over to turn off the alarm, and you shake the phone to turn off the alarm, (hopefully) waking you up in the process.

No mac. We ended up buying a couple of apps. This one seemed to do most of what he wanted: https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id393858562?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=4
Thanks for the suggestion though.

What do you mean by image of the day? I don't see it on the iPhone app. I'm sure they will eventually add portrait. They have been tweaking the app here and there quite often.
On the inbox (err "Mailbox") folder, when you clear all your mail, the Mailbox logo has a different photo each day. You can tap the logo and see the photo.

That's the whole point of mailbox, really, getting you to Inbox Zero.
I say just archive it all and start fresh. Once you are at an empty inbox, this app is very good at helping you manage mail as it comes in, and keeping it at zero.
Also inspired me to go on an unsubscribe spree. What's that noise? That's right: nothing - the sound of no mail coming in

Bro fist.
Unsubscribed the fuck out of a ton of mailing lists.

I don't push my email, and while I don't organise my mail (I just leave it in my inbox), I virtually zero it by keeping it read.
I just discovered Readr, and I love the concept. It's basically Netflix for magazines.
You get a 7 day trial (at least you're supposed to, I didn't, maybe I'd installed it ages ago and didn't realise), then you get 20 free minutes per month. If you want unlimited reading, it's £6.99 / $10 per month, billed like a normal mag subscription through iTunes so will auto-renew unless you cancel.
For that you get access to read whatever magazines you want from their collection, which is quite sizeable so far. You also get all back issues of most of the magazines, especially useful for some magazines like Retro Gamer where the content isn't as controlled by what month it is.
Most magazines update straight away when the latest issue is out, but a couple I've seen choose to restrict the latest issue to buy only (all older issues including last month's are included in the subscription).
You can also add international magazines if you like too, so it's good for reading magazines from other countries without having to pay subscription and shipping fees.
As far as gaming magaznies go it has GamesTM, Retro Gamer, X360, Play (UK), Hyper (Australia) and PCPowerplay (Australia) [Those are the English-language ones I can see, there may well be gaming magazines in other languages too]. It has various other magazines - sports, motoring, science, tech, mens and womens' interest magazines, lifestyle, food, etc.
Worth a look for the 20 free minutes at least to see if it saves you money on any subscriptions you have so far.

How favorable does Readr's catalogue compare to Next Magazine or Zinio? Next Magazine is $10/$15 a month and Zinio is launching a Z-Pass subscription plan for $5++ (should be available in the UK later this summer):
Next Magazine has the New Yorker, Zinio has Edge. They are also multiplaform....

I think it's quite a good catalogue Readr have got, with some big titles but also some notable omissions.
I got an email about ZPass, had a look at the American version but the title selection doesn't seem to be that great, unless they're expanding it or I looked in the wrong place - I couldn't find Edge, GameInformer, Retro Gamer for example, but I suppose if it's only $5 they won't include every title in their catalogue.
Readr is double the price but unlimited magazines (I reckon there's at least 100 different publications, probably more, on there, and you could technically subscribe to every one of them that offers Anytime pass (most of them) if you wanted and can speak multiple languages. I do like that all special edition books are included in the price (for example Retro Gamer's "Collection" books that are usually about £12 in the shops).
Some of the magazines I've seen on Readr from a quick look round the store:
- Seemingly all Imagine Publishing magazines (GamesTM, Retro Gamer, X360, Play, How it Works, All About Space, iCreate, Web Designer, Advanced Photoshop, etc - and their special edition books too.
- MacUser, PC Pro, Computer Shopper, Micro Mart, Custom PC, Web User
- NME
- World Soccer, Rugby World, Golf Monthly, lots of cycling magazines, Mens & Womens Running, Mens & Womens Fitness
- Various car magazines (Total 911, Evo, Auto Express, F1 Racing, GP International, etc)
- Various mens & womens magazines
- TV magazines etc
- International magazines (e.g. I've added Hyper and PC Powerplay from Australia to my library to see what they're like).
There are quite a few omissions though. No Wired unless you buy each issue separately (presumably NextIssue or whatever it's called have the exclusive on that), no FourFourTwo, no Edge, no Future magazines at all yet actually, although Readr say they're expanding the range of magazines they have)
If you'd read more than a few of them it's probably good value. Retro Gamer for example is £2.99 a month, and stuff like the PC magazines are over £30 for a year's iPad subscription, so if you do read those then Readr would probably make financial sense.

where are their designers? how can they make such a good-looking app and be incapable of making a decent icon?The Yahoo weather app updated its icon. I don't like it.
it's worse than the last one.

I have it set to a weather livetile through a WeatherIcon 6 jailbreak tweak anyway.The Yahoo weather app updated its icon. I don't like it.
What app(s) do you dudes use for time management/reminders? I'm using any.do right now. I love the minimalist design but something a little more fleshed out would be nice. The one thing it doesn't have that I want it to be able to mark off tasks as done or not done instead of just deleting them. I need to be reminded of my failures lol.
I use the default Reminders app. Nothing fancy.

WTF...
Do any of you have major problems with the Twitter app on an LTE network? Everytime I click on a link it loads and loads until it says A server with a specified hostname could not be found. In regards to pictures the bar will fill up to about 25% and then show a black screen. This happens with 7 out of 10 pictures I click on. If I'm on wifi everything works flawless. I'm getting great speeds on LTE too so I don't WTF the issue is. Iphone 5.

When I archived everything in Mailbox, I still have the badges (260). I suppose because they are still unread or something?
It could be an issue specific to your provider? I've never had an issue using Tweetbot to access Twitter via LTE. I'm using the Bell LTE network in Canada though.
The Transit App | iPhone (Free) is currently featured on iTunes as an Editor's Choice pick.
It looks pretty solid from the brief amount of time I've had with it of picking up TTC and Go Transit schedules based on my location. It covers a ton of major cities in the US (including TheBus in Honolulu) and Canada. Not all of them do real-time predictions, though.

I posted this in the iPhone 5 thread a few days ago but it really belongs here.
I am looking for a finances app that I can log into and sync our credit cards and bank account information that then pulls and sorts everything to show us really quick and easy just what our money is being spent on. Yeah, that sounds lazy, but it would be an interesting app.
What would work for me on this one? Is there anything better than Mint?

Do you not like Mint? It works well. Personal Capital is similar, but it's more tailored for investing.
what is the best app to record lectures? My co-worker is starting law school in the fall and I'm trying to advise her on an iPod Touch model to buy. I'm thinking a refurb 4th gen 16 GB would be good, not sure what app though. She's using a deactivated 3GS now and apparently it's running out of space (8 GB) and randomly shuts off.

New Yahoo weather icon is lame.
All these weather apps, but I don't know that any of them have good hurricane tracking.
Hmm. Looks interesting.

I like the lightroom presets that they have as well (not so much their Aperture one's though - long story) but yeah, VSCO are good people and do good stuff.
Nicely designed app, using now thanks!
Downloaded apps are tied to the Apple ID that downloaded them, can't be shared without essentially pirating them.
