huge fan of the new phone call notifications, was just reading an article and i got a call, and instead of switching right to the phone call screen, it just comes down like a regular notification and you can accept or decline right from that, or pull down to see the full call screen. very awesome.

 

No *you’re* spending all morning organizing your apps and screens. Not me. You’re doing that.

 

Is Overcast being buggy for anyone on iOS14? It was fine on my drive to work this morning but I’m trying to listen on my lunch break but it keeps randomly stopping while I was using Tweetbot.

 

Did anyone get a good recommendation for an app that has a widget that shows your steps?

 

This is genius

 

I've had that happen a few times with this release and the beta (I don't use Tweetbot, but the same issue). It sometimes stops when I'm not doing anything, and it's always a little glitchy if I'm using the Amazon app specifically.

 

Hmm iOS14 is destroying my battery life on my 11 pro max

 

Ah ok, I never used the beta. I saw Marco Arment said the iOS 14 version of Overcast wasn’t ready quite yet so hopefully it’ll get fixed with that update.

 

had no idea about back tap! incredible haha.

 

Both me and my gf just stole this brilliant idea lol

 

Same. I've had to charge twice today and I'm not using it anymore than normal.

 

Yeah this is nuts. I'm gonna have to go back to the 13.

 

No issues for my battery life. Weird.

Anyone using Safari on MacOS - what wallpaper are you using on your home screen? I'm using the food based one because why not.

 

Havent really noticed any battery issues myself, running ios14 on my 11pro max.

 

First attempt at some widgets. Will have to see how everything actually works in use and tweak.

Today view:



Very similar to what I've had for a long time. I use it mostly as a way to launch my most used Shortcuts. I really need MyNetDiary to get their widget done so I can slot that in next to the Water widget.

First page has a bunch of changes that I'm really going to need to get used to:



Hoping Fantastical can release their widget sooner rather than later so I can replace the default calendar widget. Going for a "productive/most used" first page. Something letting me know what my day looks like, what I need to do, and the tools I use most to do those things.

Page two:



This is more of my "things I use every day" page. Listening and sports up top. Social and reading in the next line (plus the very often used 1Password). Then going into my logging apps, and then a little health section for keeping up to date on all that.

Third page is the one I'm not really sure what to do with at the moment, it's mostly just some other apps that I want access to, but don't use all the time, but don't want to bury in the app library:



Gonna give this a spin for a couple of days and see how I feel once muscle memory gets used to it and what I use/don't use and if it need any tweaks.

 

Me either, I just spent like 2+ hours on it fucking around with the home screens and was at 80%.

 

the battery widget annoys me because it has those two blank spots haha

 

I've gone from 100% to 25% in about 8 hours of very normal usage. I dont think I've ever had to charge this phone other than when I'm sleeping. So that sucks.

 

Same. Even with AirPods connected there's still an empty spot. I want to replace it and make it wider and kick it down to the very bottom. Haha. But I don't have anything else in that spot yet. Day Two Blues.

 

How are you doing the shortcut widgets without the app icon in the top left?

 

Tried checking what's using the Battery the most and done a force quit apps and reboot? I'd be looking to see if anything's using a lot of background activity.

 

literally the only things I think that can fill up all four spots at once is if you have an iPhone being charged by a smart battery case while wearing an Apple Watch and having AirPods in

lol

 

Which ones? The one in the Today view? None of them launch apps, I think they only show the app icon when they're app specific or they use the app in the first step. All of those are just custom shortcuts I've made for doing stuff with various apps, so that's my guess.

 

Makes more sense on an iPad, keyboard, pencil, pods, etc., but yeah, it's very silly here. Really excited about one day putting MyNetDiary next to my water widget because I'm a fucking dork tho.

 

Can you walk me through the Log food and Log weight shortcuts? I have a log food one that launches Lose It but it looks ugly af and it only triggers to log dinner.
