It still exists, but of course they buried it deeper in the menus. Go to the 'more' button at the bottom, scroll down to the feeds header and tap on it and it's listed there.

Jut found it. God damn that's out of the way. And below the useless "Apps" section. Can we reorder those damn sections at least? Can I add Most Recent to Favorites? Gimmie something, FaceBook! No one fucking cares about what you think we care about. You're worse than YouTube. Just show me my subscriptions uploads only in reverse chronological order and don't try and tell me what to watch!

I'm not going to be surprised when Facebook removed the most recent option from the app, and I'm sure it's coming sooner rather than later.
In other news, the Podcasts app just updated to version 2.1 to coincide with the release of iTunes 11.2 today. Supposed to include better syncing and browsing. I'd be curious how the improvements are since I don't use it and use Instacast instead. If they could ever get the syncing to work correctly between the iOS app and iTunes I'd drop a 3rd party player in an instant especially since there is now Siri support in the Podcasts app.

I can't believe that I am going to say this, but from what little I used it since the update the Apple Podcasts app is actually quite functional. I've been using Instacast for OS X and iOS as my solution to syncing podcasts everywhere, but it appears that iTunes and Podcasts.app actually work just as well. This is only through a few hours of testing, but early signs are positive.

Along with Cloud Magic it's probably the nicest of these type of apps, especially if you're into inbox zero. I have a hard time getting into it though because the default app is so deeply integrated that using anything else feels clunky.
Tweetbot for iPad. I don't know if I'd buy that right now, though. I assume they're going to release Tweetbot 3 for iPad sooner or later. Anyone know anything?
Yeah that's one of the reasons I held off
It's a different way to manage your inbox, but I definitely prefer it.
I switched to the inbox 0 philosophy when I tried Mailbox, and I'm not going back.
Mailbox is a super nice app, too.

The Mailbox app is really slick. It's fast, clean and easy to use. My main problem with it is that it doesn't use your gmail tags which I use extensively. :/

Probably the one thing that keeps me from using pretty much any Google app at all. The only one I use is Google Voice out of necessity, and of course that one is really in a league of its own as icons go.
I was wondering if someone could recommend me an app to help me stop smoking. There seem to be thousands in the App Store, and most of them look rather shitty.
Regarding features, I don't even know what to look for. Some charts and statistics maybe, like money saved or number of cigarettes not smoked. Maybe some advice to cope with withdrawal.

Never heard of that, did you try "the patch" or Nicorette Gum?

Does anyone have any recommendations for fitness apps that can be used in conjunction with a simple cycling machine? All I really want to to is keep track of how much distance I covered on any given day, and in what time etc via manual entry.
I use a speedo app for swimming which works like this and it's really useful, but all the ones for cycling I've found seem to be centred around GPS tracking or Bluetooth gizmos.
Cheers.

Never heard of that? Well, take a look.
No, I've actually never tried patches or any other of those methods. But it doesn't matter anymore, it's been almost exactly a week since I stopped, and I'm fine.

Quick sly bump. Anyone use/know of such a thing?

Just manual entry? Do apps like Endomondo allow manual entry for exercises like those? If not you could even just use Evernote.

No idea, but I'll look into it. Using a note app is really a last result as it can't provide any insight or analysis of the results. The speedo swimming app I mentioned has challenges that allow you to plot your distances over popular stretches of water across the world (eg: from Alcatraz to the Golden Gate Bridge, and across the English channel).
I could work out that stuff manually of course, but having it done for you is much more helpful.

There is a horrendously ugly google voice app you can use, or you can use Hangouts or the regular dial-out method.
I have a work iphone and we're using an Exchange server for our mails. Is there a better mail app available than the default one that works with Exchange?
The main thing that is bugging me with the default app is that I'm using a bunch of folders with rules set up in Outlook to filter the mails between the folders. The filtering itself works fine but the badge icon only count unread emails in the main inbox and not the stuff in the sub folders (which is the vast majority of my emails) and it's really annoying.

so I could switch to iPhone, download Hangouts and it would use my current Google Voice number and I could still get free texting? I can't imagine adding $20/month to my bill for texts when my total bill is $58 after tax right now.

You can make and receive calls via Hangouts on iOS, but I believe for GV texting your only option will be the Google Voice app. Does Hangouts on Android retrieve Google Voice texts? I don't think it does that on iOS. Personally I use Hangouts just for Hangouts, and the Google Voice app for everything else. Easier for me to keep it straight in my head that way.
Edit: I want to make sure I specifically answer what I think was the meat of your question, ha: you can use your current GV number and most all the functionality of the GV app is just like it is on Android. Just kinda ugly.

Line i think.

This is probably a stupid question but is it possible to post photos to Gaf from your iphone?
Not directly. Same as on a computer, you need to upload it elsewhere (e.g. abload.de) and embed it with the img tag.

Thanks!!
Just tried to go download it. App Store tells me it is "no longer available". No sure why...

Try the Minus app then. Minus is a pretty good image host. Though I have noticed occasional blackouts.
Feedly has been hit with DDoS attacks for the 3rd day in a row, bringing the service down. Quite annoying whoever these scumbags are trying to extort them.
Still, is there no way for Feedly to protect against these attacks? I feel until Feedly pays the demands this will happen every day.

Just released my first game for the iPhone and iPad. It's called Overlap Tap and it's a game of concentration, dexterity and stamina. It's designed to be simple to play but challenging to master, and great for killing some time throughout the day. It supports social media so you can share your scores with the world. Please give it a try and if you like it please give it a review on the Appstore, it helps tremendously.
BONUS - I'm giving away a $10 iTunes giftcard to the first person in the world to get 5000 points! I designed the game and the best I've managed so far is 3200. Good luck!!

I don't understand your game. I keep getting a game over right away. And I have to look at two ads between each game over.
Did you look at the "how to play?" Concept is simple, tap on each bar only while it's passing underneath over overlap. Too soon or too late and it's game over. Make sure you tap on each bar directly.
The more bars you can keep going and the smaller the overlap you go with will cause your score to go up faster.
Should only be one ad between games.
should I change the "You can be reached by iMessage at..." to my Google Voice number?
if so, anyone with iMessage will come thru the Message app and everything else through Google Voice, right?
I read that you can make calls from the Hangouts app with your Google Voice number, but it uses data. I had to drop down to a 6 GB plan on Verizon from unlimited by upgrading, so I'm watching my data now. I hope the end goal for Google would be for all texts and calls to happen thru Hangouts with your Google Voice number and calls not using data. Is that obtainable?
is there a way to set it so if I go over 6 GB it kills the data connection and only uses Wifi?
edit: So just realized changing it to my GV number won't work... my only hope for nice messaging on iOS is if Google gets Hangouts together or I pay $20 more per month for texts... though the GV app is pretty good, just never got refreshed visually.

I don't think soit seems like calls would either have to use data or use your minutes.
someone want to try to convince me to use Mailbox over Gmail?
jsut loaded it and it's asking to "get me to 0." What exactly does it want to do? I never, ever delete any emails. Right now it says I have 28,000 messages on the read badge even though all my emails are currently read.

It's going to want you to archive them all. If you don't subscribe to the 'inbox zero' philosophy, then Mailbox loses a lot of usefulness or appeal.
