Downcast looks like it had a poor rating. Is it worth getting the Overcast unlock?Bro, you gotta upgrade to Overcast or Downcast. Been gone for years and can never go back.

I think Overcast is worth it. This Verge article explains all of the great features. Also, here's what's gated behind the Overcast paywall.Downcast looks like it had a poor rating. Is it worth getting the Overcast unlock?

Have you checked out Pocket Casts or Castro?I think Overcast is worth it. This Verge article explains all of the great features. Also, here's what's gated behind the Overcast paywall.

Looked again, seems like an issue with the recent update. Overall rating is excellentWeird, just looked at the ratings. I've never had problems with Downcast and would recommend it.
Haven't tried Overcast, though.

Guess I'll be checking out Overcast. Praise seems unanimous. I got into podcasts earlier in the year and I couldn't believe I had been missing out on such an awesome medium. Hardcore History, RadioLab, etc.I use Overcast and love it.
Great interface and it handles having a few playlists of different kinds of podcasts really well.
Well worth the dough to upgrade from the standard iOS podcast app.
Galactic Keep was already updated. Not sure about Geometry DashMain reason I haven't upgraded to iOS 9 yet is for fear of breaking a few of my games. Anyone on iOS 9 tried Galatic Keep and Geometry Dash on it yet?

Just found out geometry dash works on iOS 9 as well. I guess I'm upgrading to 9 then, thanks!Galactic Keep was already updated. Not sure about Geometry Dash
A friend is working on a thesis and asked if I could share this survery. It's about freemium models and would be helpful if you'd be willing to fill it out:

Only thing it doesn't seem to have over Downcast (that I'd actually use, anyway) is the ability to start streaming instantly instead of downloading completely, which will convert to a download once it has streamed in the whole file. I guess it's "under consideration" though, so I can live with the small inconvenience.
Well this is kind of scary

Okay then... I would like to announce my retirement in the freemium world for good now, bye bye free to play games with Facebook connection. I wont miss you.
You're being data mined on GAF and the Internet in general. F2P games is not the only place where data is being collected on you.

Sure, but the Facebook approach is far more personal and invasive.
There's a question on the final page that asks whether you prefer watching ads or social sharing to get IAP currency. They're both trash, but it wouldn't let me finish without choosing one. So I closed it.

I couldn't get into My Brother, My Brother, but I like Justin in Sawbones.Yeah, podcasts are the best.
My favorites:
How Did This Get Made - Andre, Rafi and Andre's wife from The League watch a bad movie and make hilarious commentary afterwards. Pick a movie you've seen before - like The Devil's Advocate and listen to that ep.
My Brother, My Brother and Me - 3 brothers take questions from Yahoo Answers & e-mails and do an advice show. It's amazing, "compilation" episodes are good to start with: 161, 173, 201.
The Giant Beastcast - The only gaming podcast I listen to - great NYC talk, good diversity, a nice approach to gaming.
The Black Tapes - Serial meets The X-Files. A narrative story podcast, start at Ep 1!
This, at least the streaming part (not sure about converting to download but it makes sense), is supposedly coming in the next major update. And, yeah, Overcast is great.
To avoid it at this stage to any extent you'd have to go full on hermit mode with tinfoil clothing and play with pine cones and matchsticks.
A real time strategy game for PC and tablets in which you control a small band of figures by picking them up and placing them on the miniature battle map, just like a game of chess without turns. Each figure has special attributes and abilities that counter each other, forcing you to strategically time and plan your moves against the enemy player.
Need to look into it more. Havent used it while gaming yetJust going to gospel again about Low Power mode in iOS 9. I could game for a full 12 hours yesterday without sucking the battery dry and the phone never got hot.
It is really the background services and shit that make the device warm while the GPU is busy with rendering. I'm never gaming without Low Power turned on again.

Le sigh.. Had to restore my iPhone 5s yesterday since I got the stupid slide-to-unlock bug when I tried to upgrade to iOS 9 and neither iCloud or iTunes worked ; /
Anyway.. Started to redownload some old games that I hadn't played in a while and for some reason I got no music in 99 Bricks. Is this a known bug in iOS 9? I have tried to turn off/on in the ingame settings but nothing happens.

Still haven't updated to ios 9. Does this affect graphics and visual effects while gaming? If so, how much?

No bugs or anything, iOS 9 (and in part, 8) changed the root system entirely and some games that stored stuff there lost it. There a couple of painful losses: Whale Trail, Monsters Ate My Condo, Darkin,... Chillingo apps are the ones who withstand everything.
Battery saving only disables some home screen effects (the zooming for example), automatic background refresh, background app updating and push emails, nothing else. And those few cuts makes the battery last a lot longer than usual.
Tip: Have it on at all times.
Nope, there are no performance changes.
Good to hear. Will switch it on once I update to ios 9. Thanks.
