This version supports map caching for offline use. Zoom in on the desired area/city, and write 'ok maps' in the search box. It's fucking great.
If I zoom in on the city in general, does that cache everything within the zoom boundaries?
Yep. I just cached Montreal, turned off wifi, and was still able to zoom in to the max level and get the names of tiny alleys.
I use HD Player for DTS files. It's a barebones player, but it does its job.
Oh snap, that's fucking amazing!
Hmm, so guys, I'm shit outta luck. Really. All I touch these days becomes broken (video card freezes, phone dead, mobile phone semi dead, satellite tv not working, to name a few...). But this is not so interesting for you, so let's cut to the point.
I need to prioritize. First thing is finding a way to get out of middle-age and have bookmark sync.
So as I'm a Firefox guy and an Ipad guy I am officially fucked. Not love at first sight between the two. Ok, I install Chrome, import my Firefox bookmarks and... lol, lastpass don't work on my bank account in chrome. Lolroflbbq indeed.
What do you say gaf ? I am really pissed (doesn't help that my firefox doesn't play well anymore with my 560ti and the pc need a reboot regularly).
Ideally I would like to keep Firefox, nothing against Google but the inability to use page down etc in the bookmark menu is a little jarring to me. And the absence of shortcut to open the real bookmark manager doesn't help.
What are my options ?

listen to the mad man
Definitely works, it's just a matter of making sure it's set up properly. Sometimes to auto submit thing doesn't play well, just use the auto-fill and manually submit
Nope. I mean you seem to describe exactly what happened to me on Firefox. the bank login/pass would not auto-fill, but as in a few clicks I could target a field and initiate a "manual" fill, what did I care.
On Chrome, auto-fill is not working (big deal, as I said), but the "manual" fill is just giving me... blank fields.
So I'm clearly new to Last Pass and wouldn't dare say I am 100% sure of myself, but there seems to be some problems in LP handling of Chrome. A quick search on their forum showed quite a lot a site that don't play well for one reason or another. And more importantly I read a post by someone which looked in charge saying that Last Pass use an API that plays well on Firefox but is more problematic on Chrome. This is a distorted summary of a post I glimpsed over some hours ago, I don't guarantee anything I just said. In fact you should certainly burn your PC after reading it, just to be sure. I have never existed. I am a dog.

iTunes podcasts don't sync with Downcast on iOS. There is a Downcast Mac app that you can buy though that will do that.
Not available in the US yet, but this is great, as long as it is by tomorrow morning.

I downloaded the Iron Man 3 Jarvis app yesterday... It's a lot of fun as yes, he does respond to voice commands and it is Paul Bettany's voice.
I do need to download the ringtones/message tones that the app has and use them as I think they're great.
It's also a second screen app for IM3 of course.

any good simple Note taking app without online synching.
I hate the iOS Note, every time you open it it just wants to sync

I'm still a bit pissed that it's not an update of the old app, while the iphone version got updated much faster and was free for a while. I might wait for some sort of sale or something.

So is Reeder completely useless?

I just...why is there a Reeder 2? I haven't using RSS for a long time but didn't Google stop Google Reader? I think I downloaded Reeder for my iPad when it was free but never actually used it.
I really don't know what I'm talking about

There are other RSS services that replaced Google Reader.
Do any of these apps support Newsblur?

I did but yet it still syncs
Even turned off documents n data
Looks like the music controls on the lock screen. Pretty cool.
Should help if you take out your iCloud.com email account. I use my Gmail as my iCloud account, but anytime I (accidentally, most of the time) try to enable notes sync, it asks me to create one, and it's easy enough to just hit the "Create" button and forget about it.

Yeah that's wat i have my gmail.
Redownloaded Notability hopefully it helps

Weird, but it seems you've found an alternative anyway.
On that note, we'll need a thread title change soon. :lol
A legitimate app that lets me stream all my documents and comics (well, mostly comics) from my PC to my iPad (like Air Video) has finally surfaced!
The AirBookReader has some issues though. Can't open from *.rar files, only *.zip. Also it has a weird numbering convention of only 1 character. Also it doesn't remember one level back so you have to scroll down again to where you last were.
But it's a start. Hopefully they fix these in an update. Is there any other types of apps that do this other than this?

This sounds fantastic. Can it stream from an Airport Extreme's USB HDD?

hope its free update!
Biggest problem i have with pocketcast is that it usually takes a while for feeds to update. Could be hours even though the rss feed is up for some reason.
You know, downcast really could use a visual makeover.
been using reeder 2. another $5... but its really good! The gestures work nicely, and the animations are top notch. It's a bit laggy on my mini though, but hey, at least its finally universal now.

Dumb question, but I bought pocket casts for Android...guess I'd have to rebuy for iOS?

They confirmed via Twitter that the next Downcast update includes changes to the UI to closer match iOS 7 and support for background app refresh.
Nice.

CNN app is now iOS 7 compatible but nothing changed, not even the icon

Not sure they mentioned a potential release date, and they also said that the UI isn't getting a huge overhaul, but it will "feel at home" with iOS 7 installed.

I normally wouldn't have a problem paying for it again, since it is a great app. But at this point I've paid $5 each for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac OSX versions of Reeder. While it's nice that the developer is finally making the app universal, it certainly sucks for those of us who have supported all of his previous efforts.

but then you think about it, I don't think Reeder has any real type of 'sponsored feeds' shitting it up. Makes sense to charge for big updates.
Still odd that there isn't anyway to do 'paid updates' on app store.
