As far as the App Store goes I know the first time you purchase something after a restart of the phone you are prompted for your password. Once you have input the password one time, you will then be prompted to use the touch-ID for further purchases. Note that if you make a 2nd purchase within

They aren't? How so? I remember this program you could download ages ago that coinsided with winamp called evilyrics, that generated them, when you played a track through winamp, at least 99.9% of the time it would, and I loved that thing to death. I think with apps like soundhound, you can f
