Hey Nic, Thanks, I guess maybe I never tried using it, going to test it out now. I still hope in IOS 7 they are more options when swiping down, as I think the swipe down to delete things was my favorite change in IOS 6 On Jul 2, 2013, at 4:28 AM, Nicholas Parsons wrote: > Brian, the default g

Hey Alex, Have you used Blind Square also? Would love to hear how Seeing Eye compares to it, if you have any thoughts. I love the developer for Blind Square as he is constantly working on improving the app. My only gripe with Blind Square is the GPS accuracy seems to be off a bit, and I'm not s

Any Good Replacement for Newsrack?

Hey all, As an avid RSS user, I just found out that Newsrack is going bye bye. I mostly follow my RSS feeds on my iPhone now with Lire, but would like to have the option to go through them on the mac as well. I don't believe any app on the mac will sync up with Lire, so I guess just find a cheap

Hey all, I have listened to a few podcasts on setting a location reminder, but can't seem to do it either through Siri or manually. With Siri, it keeps saying she doesn't understand when I say when I arrive at Family Dollar Store, and I have put the store into my contacts. Manually there just s

Hey Nicholas, A few questions for ya. I was using Newsrack on the mac, and liked that you could just arrow up or down through the message title and once you moved over it, that marked it as read. With Read Kit does it do that? I guess I am looking for an RSS reader that quickly marks articles a

Hey all, I am noticing now that a lot of the new RSS readers work with services like Pinboard and have long work with programs like Instapaper. What are people using and what do you find most accessible? For some reason I think I looked at Instapaper a long time ago and it wasn't accessible. Wo

Hey Gigi, Just wanted to say thanks so much for the comparison. I have used Blind Square for awhile, and it is pretty good. It is not perfect, as I do notice the feet and time position of a location are off a bit, but I think this is due to GPS not being a perfect accuracy down to the smallest d
