It always blows my mind when people have like 30+ apps on their phone. One of my friends got over 250! I'm like WTF :blink: :ermm:

 

Everything seems working fine so far though from the ones my friends use.

I don't see any problems with having 100+ apps on any platform. I have lots of apps, but certainly not 100+ (50-75 range)

 

Everything has worked okay so far. I'm just peeved my ipod touch 5g has gotten slower, but everything seems to be working. The only weird thing is it shut down randomly on me (after a full night of charging) while I was playing music in my car (hooked up to my car's USB port/Lightning connector). I'm thinking maybe a clean start could help some of my problems.

I've had over 30 probably over 50 apps on my phone at one time, but (mind you) I wasn't really using all of them.  Occasionally I delete all of my apps or setup my iPhone "as a new phone" just so I can download what I need as I need it.  That easier than sorting it all out.

 

But when you have apps for all the local stores Starbucks, Sam's Club, Walgreens, etc. and then apps for online shopping: Amazon, ebay.  Then all the apps to track your finances.  Apps to remote control your computer.  Apps to access all the various music services (I typically have about 5 of those).  And however many social media apps.  They all add up....

I updated yesterday - pretty damned soon wished I hadn't, so tried rolling back and guess what... iTunes crashes if you even attempt to remove this POS off your phone and I tried twice with the same effect.

 

Most of my day is spent listening to podcasts in the background, but Apple have turned what was a great podcasting experience into a comprehensive nightmare - gigabytes of podcasts that I have accumulated over the years have been deleted forever from my hardrive and phone without even asking - new podcasts that have been downloaded are not synced correctly to my iphone - I had 80 odd episodes of one podcast I was listening to and it only puts the latest episode on my phone and sod the rest.

 

So add the podcast app to your list - I thought it was rubbish when they first released it, but now Apple decided if you want to listen to podcasts you have to use their lame POS app and its complete and utter rubbish - well done Apple you will never get me back a customer ever again.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
