Wow didn't realize there is a new thread 
Still think Procamera should be added. Been using it for years and the recent update adds light box.
Btw anyone try out kitcam? How is it?

any idea if the WP7 app has been updated for WP8? i'm getting a lumia 920 in a couple weeks and i'm honestly concerned about lo-res stickers.
really wish the service would work on more than one device at once.

Good job on your reply! I really appreciated it. Especially the sarcasm bit. Was a nice touch. I prefer Twitter, but most of my non-GAF friends (read: The people I actually know in person) don't understand how it works (nor want to be arsed into learning how it works) so I have to use it.
But it's totally okay if you don't use FaceBook.
Good job replying to him in the first place! Total waste of time and you would be a happier person with all that free time doing something else.

I'm using this right now, and I really like it. Can the Apple Podcast app play a video podcast as just audio (hear the audio when you exit out of a video podcast). That's a pretty cool feature.
Yeah, it can. Just tried it right now.

weird, never heard of pocket casts until today, seems like a pretty old app. Currently used downcast and used to use instacast before it got fuuucked in 2.0 (how is 3.0?).
what does it do better/worst than the competition?

New hidden tethering app sneaks onto the App Store - grab it now before Apple yanks it! http://t.co/IajjxcJD
Kind of a complicated way to get tethering working and unfortunately it doesn't look like it would work to share between iPhone & an iPad, but might be useful at some point. Thanks for the heads up

Fuck. Didn't know they took down old instacast and put up a new app. Ended up buying 3 by accident.
sleazy shit yo.

Damn, after the V2 shenanigans of it releasing totally broken, then the additions of the "pro" feature upgrade cost stuff this is ridiculous.
Instacast 2 came out 7th of May. With separate iPhone/ipad versions and the unlockable upgrade. Now he expects his userbase to pay out again so soon?
Actually has the gall to say on his site
"Switching from Instacast 2 to 3.0 is like buying a brand new car."
Yep, does the same job as your old car but costs you a great deal more money for potentially the exact same experience.
Podcasts.app may be janky, but I'm not throwing my money at this dude.

Also it's like someone stole your old car from your garage
Picked up pocket casts, seems nicely designed and ain't missing any notable features i used.

Not disagreeing, but most are decent enough that it's pretty much up to personal preference

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Quick for taking over this thread and doing a massively better job than I ever did! I'm ashamed to say I jumped over to the dark side (Android) and got a Galaxy S3, but I'm hoping to be back soon
I really neglected the other thread once I dropped my iPhone but this new thread is great, love the OP!

Does anyone else find themselves forced to force quit screens periodically because it won't connect?

i switched to downcast purely because i figured the experience would be fresher than "upgrading" to instacast 3.0. wasn't disappointed!

Thanks Gaaraz.
I occasionally think about jumping ship to Android, but nothing concrete ever comes of it.

Maybe the wrong thread but is there a way the iPad can play FLV files?
Natively? I don't think so.
You can get an app that plays other video formats, though.

Saw an update for the Facebook app so I download it. Now it won't open. Delete and download multiple times and still won't open. I'm new to the iPad the last few months. Does this sort of stuff happen frequently?

Thanks!
Tried it a few times and nothing, will try again every once in a while. I'll live.

I use reeder for mac, ipad & iPhone. Syncs via google reader so no trouble there. Not universal though, so you're buying 3 versions.
Ouch. I just don't get Pulses deal. It was fine, now it's working like garbage. Thank you for the recommendation though.
There is a great app for Android too.
It is crazy how much better browsing reddit on iPad/phones is than the browser experience.
I use feedly. Very simple and aesthetically pleasing. Never really liked pulse.
I wish I saw this before dropping 13.00 on the three Reeder apps. The iPhone one crashes and wont let you add feeds, the iPad one is too simple looking and doesn't even have the option to add feeds, and the Mac one is ok...
What do you use when you're on a laptop/desktop?
I have the iPhone app and it lets me add feeds by clicking the + button on the top of the main section (I just sync it with Google Reader though), what do you mean by it not letting you? It never crashes for me (iPhone 4).
Wanted to give a mention to Xfinity TV Player for anyone using Comcast.
It lets you watch movies and TV shows on demand like Crackle, etc. You can even download some titles to watch offline. Selection isn't half bad either depending on your package.
iTunes reviews are horrible, but I've had no problems on the iPad 3.

Tweetbot used to have the top tweets when you checked one of the trending topics, but it doesn't have it anymore. What gives?
It still does for me. It doesn't show top tweets for saved searches though.

So I'll post here since my thread the other day got no responses (rant about Twitter apps):
So I just got an iPhone 5 this past week (not having had a smartphone before, though I did have a second gen iPod touch which I didn't connect to WiFi much since it would cause the battery to go to absolute shit.)
Anyway...
The official Twitter app is alright, but the list/group support is crappy. You can't make new lists from the app, and as far as I know, you can't toggle to just view a list's timeline easily, if at all, like you can with Tweetbot. The other thing is that with the push notifications, you can't change the sound when receiving a tweet. It's either stuck as tri-tone or tied to whatever you use as your voicemail tone, either way an idiotic oversight (not sure if Apple or the Twitter developers here are to blame). I just want to change the goddamn noise (likely to the Twitter noise) when I receive a tweet from one of the people I have set to send me push notifications (Settings -> Notifications -> Tweets.) Is that so much to ask?
The other client I've tried (bought today actually, since I was dissatisfied with the official app) is Twitterbot. Now as I already mentioned, this has really nice support for lists/groups, but has poor notification support. However, you can't set notifications for tweets from specific people like you can in the official app - kind of a glaring omission. Like the official app, it also lacks the ability to change the tone for notifications.
I've looked at other apps, and none seem to have the feature set I'm looking for. Slices is pricey at $4.99, and according to the reviews, doesn't even have push notifications at all. Same goes for Twitterific. Everything else I've seen seems woefully underkept, with the latest updates being in 2011 (clearly won't support my iPhone 5).
So if anyone could enlighten me to something I'm missing in the apps I do have (official app, Twitterbot) or point me to a client that solves my issues, I'm all ears. If not, I suppose I'll just have to bug the developers of each to fix their shit in their next update.

Twitter has been slowly changing the terms and endpoints of their API. It's likely the notification per user has been removed from 3rd party applications.
