Re: How Do You Use iOS?

AirPort Utility is also very handy as a Wi-Fi scanner, irrespective of whether 
it’s used to control the excellent Apple devices.  You need to enable it in 
Settings, but once enabled, you can scan for every nearby network and learn its 
channels, MAC address and RSSI.  Good for troubleshooting, and also learning 
what the coverage is going to be like.  Every impression is logged, and you can 
output a table for sharing.  I often prefer to use this interface to the one in 
Settings, which is much noisier.  Of course you need Settings to join networks, 
but learning about them first with your iOS device is definitely very cool.

Donna, Third eye is fairly new and doesn’t recognize as many things as TapTap 
See. Also, TapTap See can recognize pictures on your camera roll.

Just curious, why would one want to have both Tap Tap See and Third Eye?  Is 
there something that one does that the other doesn't?

[Christine Grassman]

“Read this” recognizes and reads the label, such as nutrition facts. “Recognize 
this” simply identifies the object, such as “glass” or “door”. At least that is 
what I have discovered with minimal use; I downloaded it only yesterday.

Ok, with the third eye app, what’s the difference between the recognize this, 
and the read this, options?  This is probably a dumb question, but either way, 
it takes a pic of the image and reads it.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Jessica Moss]

I’ve just tried out the Ocado app, but for some reason, even after telling it 
to sign me in with paypal, it still wants me to register.  Is there any way to 
get around that?
  I don’t see how to figure out whether or not they deliver in my area, and I 
don’t want to sign up with them if they don’t just to have them repeatedly 
sending me e-mail’s.
  Can I get some tips for this please?

I know what you mean.  Ann Arbor Michigan, where I used to live, had those 
crazy politicians--and a lot of crazy people too.  We're a lot further south 
now, which certainly has some disadvantages, but things are much more laid-back.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Jenine Stanley]

The other nice part about the Watch app is that you can review the most recent 
recordings via the Watch so if you recorded a phone number or appointment, you 
don’t have to dig into your iCloud drive to find it.

Hi Donna,

 Yeah I've live in Dunedin all my life bar about 6 months when I lived in 
Auckland New Zealdns largest city.

  The univerisyt here is the oldest in NZ,  and the first in the country back 
in the late 1800s.

 It's great to live here other than stupid polititions  making stupid rules for 
the city.

Hi Simon,

thanks for the info re airport.  I might have to check it out.

University towns are nice, aren't they?  My husband and I have lived in one 
ever since we got married.  Even now, though we are outside of town, our 
nearest town has the local university.
Cheers

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

HI Donna,

 It's great, it runs from my watch so I can start it and finish it on the watch 
and the recording is saved directly to iCloud drive for you to call on when 
it's needed.

 I find it's great quality recording and it works both on the phone and the 
watch, and the recording can be longer than what I've been able to get voice 
recorder to take

Hi Jeanine,

Just curious, what is it that you like about Just Press Record as opposed to 
say the built-in Voice Memos app?  I'm just wondering.  People have talked 
about that app before, but I've never understood what it's advantages are.

Oh yeah I forgot about the just press record app, I use that from my watch more 
than my phone,

It comes in handy to record things in meetings.
 Oh and when the boss is spinning crap you can let him know that your recording 
the meeting and listen to how he shuts down what he is saying.

I like the Phone app because it records in an uncompressed format, mpeg4.  You 
can change the names of the files and set up folders, etc.

I was never a big user of the Voice Memos app and I’m sure it can do the same 
things but there is that Watch app.

Honestly, I cannot stop smiling when I read your lists of apps and discover all 
of the various ways you use them.

To those who have not yet posted, please remember that you do not need to list 
only apps that have not yet been mentioned; just list the apps that you use and 
how you use them if they are not self-explanatory.

Personally, I am making a list of all of the marvelous apps you have brought to 
my attention that I have not yet explored.

 From the bottom of my heart, I thank you and, let’s keep ‘em coming.  (Big,

Hi Mark, cool thread here’s my response to add to the others.

1. Good Mail for Enterprise, it’s a secure mail client owned by RIM now that I 
use to access my work email.  Since it’s a secure network we need to use a 
client like this to access exchange.

2. iMessage, I use the native messaging app as well as the Mac app to work with 
engineers in the field or other coworkers.  It’s great for me as I can respond 
on any device so it makes working very simple if I can cut and paste to the 
same conversation on my laptop and pick it up on the phone.

3. CNBC, I use the watch lists and also love the automatic notifications so I 
get my important breaking financial news.

4. Ootunes / i heart radio / radio.com / tune in pro/ XM sirius, these are the 
streaming music / media apps I use.  I like the XM because it syncs with my 
car, the other apps are just good over the air aggregators.

5. WhatsApp: secure messaging that’s encrypted end to end.  Migrating to this 
away from other apps for securit

I forgot to mention that I use both the native podcast app and pocket casts for 
podcasts.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Jenine Stanley]

Donna, 

The Watch app is indeed amazing and is my lower right complication on my Watch 
face. The quality is quite good as well on both Watch and phone. 

I like the Phone app because it records in an uncompressed format, mpeg4.  You 
can change the names of the files and set up folders, etc. 

I was never a big user of the Voice Memos app and I’m sure it can do the same 
things but there is that Watch app.

Donna, I hear the watch app for just press record is top shelf, I think that’s

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

Hi Jeanine,

Just curious, what is it that you like about Just Press Record as opposed to 
say the built-in Voice Memos app?  I'm just wondering.  People have talked 
about that app before, but I've never understood what it's advantages are.
Cheers,
Donna

Hi

The apps I use at the moment are:

Kindle, one of my favourites; KNFB Reader occasionally; Tweetings for Twitter; 
Facebook; a couple of TV related apps called Sky+ and Sky Q; Notes, often for 
jotting down grocery lists; Reminders, almost daily; Calendar; Mail, though 
more for reading than writing; Access Note, mainly for writing down my dreams, 
then sink thee notes to Dropbox, so there’s another one slipped in there :) and 
Safari, probably my most used app; and how could I forget: Music.

All the best

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[David Chittenden]

Also, TomTom and Navigon download the maps onto the iDevice, so a data 
connection is unnecessary when using either app. I prefer TomTom's interface 
over Navigon's interface. Note: Apple Maps uses TomTom's map databases.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

I mean valid physical address, such as a postal address. I use my mum's 
address. In the field for credit card, choose the last option which is enter 
address, or something similar. Type in a valid physical address for the 
country. After that, one must use iTunes gift cards for the particular country 
if one wishes to buy apps. Also, one cannot have gift cards for multiple 
countries at one time. If one changes countries in the iTunes store, one can 
only get free apps from any other store. Note: when a credit card is used, it 
must be from the same country as the store which is open.

I think it'salot better but it's been around a longer time and it's more for a 
driving GPS system than a walking  gps system.

I've had that and the navagon systems since before google maps and apple maps 
really got off the  ground.

And I must admit they are used more when I'm in a city I don't know as well as

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

Hi Donna,

 First the airport utility is for accessing the airport express and airport 
extreme wifi devices from apple,  very simple to use and allow you to access 
the AP / router without having to know your ip address 

It's not one that makes you think your flying, that's Scotts mushies!

We don't have a lot of takeout food options with delivery 
We have a lot of simple little Asian style places that do takeout  or the 
standard KFC, pizza Hutt (brother to Jabba),  hell pizza is my favourite,but 
nothing here in my town very exciting 

 We've got a population of around 120 thousand at this time of year due to 
2  students at the local university,
 But nothing like a lake or pontoon  boat to spend the drinking time on.
 That sounds so awesome.

Oh, Simon, you don't know what you're missing with take-out.  It's the best!  
You don't have to cook or clean up, and you usually have all kinds of 
interesting food options.

Yes, the place where I live is very nice.  We have a pontoon boat that we call 
our floating patio.  During the summer we take it out on the lake for eating, 
drinking, and general merrymaking.  Lots of fun.

I haven't heard of many of the apps on your phone.  I've been surprised by how 
many of you have the Airport utility on your phone.  What do you use it for?
Cheers,
Donna

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi David,

 When you say physical address, you mean physical mailing address as in a 
letter type postal address or a email address?

 I'm sure I could get the email sorted easy enough and the postal mail address 
if I neded to.

Simon,

If you have a valid physical address in the US, it is possible to set up US app 
store for free apps. Then, purchasing US iTunes cards (I get them through 
PayPal using a US PayPal account), one can place money in the US iTunes account.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

This list is what you make it to be.  Mark asked us to list the apps so if you 
don’t like the thread, you can talk to Mark about it.  I for one am enjoying 
this thread very much.  It’s a nice way of getting to know what people do in 
their lives and to see how common that we almost use the same apps.

I minimise the number of installed apps.  This is mostly so I can

places the obligation upon me of hiding all unused apps,
downloading on the phone rather than the computer, and configuring
the apps immediately after setting up my phone.  My usual technique
is to find trustworthy developers, and then install apps by those.
I don’t use location services, for privacy and battery life.  I
also avoid communication apps because I need peace and quiet and
hate distractions. Email me or use iMessage—separates most of the

I collected 270 gallons of Sap and that boils down about 40 to 1 for the final 
product.  I can’t tell you how different but also better it tastes than what 
you get in the store.  What you get in the store isn’t even maple.

I feel a youtube topic forming.

 So what apps do I have?  Apart from what comes with iOS, which are all 
 right IMO and not worth substituting, and apart from the many games which 
 are mostly from Hosted Games LLC and Choice of Games LLC (which are all a 
 lot of fun):
 1Password password manager.
 AirPort Utility to control AirPort base stations from Apple.
 Apple Store to look up what Apple are doing and sometimes buy from them.
 Hungryhouse to order takeaway food (I know, I know).

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Donna Goodin]

Oh, Simon, you don't know what you're missing with take-out.  It's the best!  
You don't have to cook or clean up, and you usually have all kinds of 
interesting food options.

Yes, the place where I live is very nice.  We have a pontoon boat that we call 
our floating patio.  During the summer we take it out on the lake for eating, 
drinking, and general merrymaking.  Lots of fun.

I haven't heard of many of the apps on your phone.  I've been surprised by how 
many of you have the Airport utility on your phone.  What do you use it for?
Cheers,
Donna

Take mushrooms and talk to your cat, that’s an enlightening experience.  I had 
a cat talk to me once about string theory while enhanced.

That’s how you communicate with nature, not with electronics.  At least not yet 
anyway.:)

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Scott]

So I’m lucky, I get to live in the woods and still have take out.:)  Let’s hear 
it for the burbs outside a major city.:)

When I move to New Hampshire I’ll probably lose that capability but gives me a 
reason to grow a garden and live more healthy.  I’ll also have more maple trees 
for more sirup.:)  I made 7 gallons this year and would love to step that up to 
more.

Simon,

If you have a valid physical address in the US, it is possible to set up US app 
store for free apps. Then, purchasing US iTunes cards (I get them through 
PayPal using a US PayPal account), one can place money in the US iTunes account.

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Donna,

 Sounds like you live in an amazing location, reminds me of a small town called 
Wanaka,
 Lake, mountains and beautiful  countryside and sceenary 


Like you I don't have takeaway apps on my phone as we don't really have a lot 
of takeaways like the USA,
 But pizza is only a phone call away if cooking is out of order for the day.

 I really don't use a lot other than what is on my phone,

 Audible kindle 
Mostly iBooks for my e-books and audio books,
 IOS mail, outlook,
 Gmail app, google earth, google maps, apple maps 
 KNFB reader, apple store app, airport utility,
Word, powerpoint excel,
Pages numbers and keynote, PPT and keynote I don't use a lot of 
Notes,
 Chrome, firefox, zoom chat client, skype,
Navagone both new zeland and austrailia,
Tomtom,
one note,
remote for itunes and still trying to get it to work for apple tv.
Yamma  and yamma light,
 Microsoft rdp for remote access, issue though is it doesn't give voice prompts 
back to the Voiceover user.
Server auditor for ssh  
AD assist for active directory  access on the go,
 PS to go, a powershell reference app,
Mac tracker,
Cisco any connect for vpn to work.
Citrix receiver,sonos & sonabit (for the appel watch)
Spottafy,
Office 365 admin,
Stuff, online NZ news app,
Stylus 
One drive,
Syncplicity enterprise cloud storage app,
Dropbox,
VLC 
Netflicks 

and a number of apps that are specific to New Zealand users, like trade me NZ = 
ebay,
 Lotto, nz version of a lottery 
Seek a job searching app,
Jobs, a job searching app,
Yellow signs


I"d love to have better access to the USA store but I believe I neeed a USA 
credit card to join it.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Donna Goodin]

Delight Games is sort of like the Choice of Games series.  They have different 
"books" depending on what your taste is.  But they're fun.

I just started playing One Button Travel.  It's fun, but really different.  If 
you like the Choice Of Games, and also like dystopian stuff, I think you will 
like this game.  Note that I just started One Button Travel, so I don't yet 
know everything there is to know about this game.  But so far I'd say it's one 
of the best games I've seen in a while.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Jessica Moss]

What’s the delight games bundle, and 1 button travel?  I really wish our local 
paritransit would come out with an app that would allow you to do everything 
you need to do, as far as booking/checking a ride, considering that perfect 
example, the Links system in Orlando, already has one, and from what I hear, 
you can do everything under the sun with it.  How accessible it is, is a good 
question, because I don’t know anyone who uses it.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Thanks Donna.  I’d previously purchased the Delight Games bundle but only now 
is it accessible.  Going to have fun playing these.

And One-Button Travel is … well, a bit meh, really.  Give it a try—hey, you’ve 
paid for it—but I probably won’t be keeping this around.  Frequency, the 
Lifeline series, The Martian, etc all provide a somewhat more emotive 
experience with the same style of gameplay and a real-time aspect.

Most of the apps on my phone are games.  By any objective measure except my 
own, this means I have more crap on my phone than useful apps.  This is, of 
course, exactly how I like it. :) Although it’s probably unfair to characterise 
it as such, I still feel that iOS is a frivolity all by itself, and that while 
it isn’t entirely general-purpose I’ll never be able to take it seriously as 
anything but a consumption platform for having fun on.  I have more apps on iOS 
than on my Mac or Windows machines, but if you exclude the games the trend is 
opposite: more useful stuff on desktop. I just wish the few good things about 
iOS—it’s ease-of-use, it’s convenience, it’s modular and task-oriented 
nature—didn’t have to come at such a high cost of being restricted heavily in 
functionality and choice of applications.  I still hold out faint hope that 
Apple will one day liberate the platform from their tight grip to encourage 
more innovation, but until then, it’s really for my enjoyment more than 
anything.

The Speed Test App is just fine.  I have used it and have had no issues.  I did 
have Voice Dream but didn’t like it.  I May try the other one that Sabahattin 
is talking about though.  Airport Utility is a must for me too so I can control 
my Airport Extreme.

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

[Simon Fogarty]

So how accessible is the speedtest app you use?



I need a speed testing app.
-Original Message-

Subject: How Do You Use iOS?

I minimise the number of installed apps.  This is mostly so I can easily demand 
refunds for newly tested apps, rather than what I used to do of impulse-buying 
and then regretting it much later on when the app is actually needed for 
something important.  It also places the obligation upon me of hiding all 
unused apps, downloading on the phone rather than the computer, and configuring 
the apps immediately after setting up my phone.  My usual technique is to find 
trustworthy developers, and then install apps by those.  I don’t use location 
services, for privacy and battery life.  I also avoid communication apps 
because I need peace and quiet and hate distractions. Email me or use

IMO and not worth substituting, and apart from the many games which are mostly 
from Hosted Games LLC and Choice of Games LLC (which are all a lot of fun):
1Password password manager.
AirPort Utility to control AirPort base stations from Apple.
Apple Store to look up what Apple are doing and sometimes buy from them.
Hungryhouse to order takeaway food (I know, I know).
MacTracker to look up details about Apple’s past and present products (a little 
slow to update, but excellent).
my giffgaff to manage my giffgaff account, an iPhone-compatible pay-as-you-go 
VNO in the UK. For £5 credit when signing up use 
https://www.giffgaff.com/orders/affiliate/sgucukoglu
NatWest to manage my NatWest bank account. Supports Apple Pay, though I’ve only 
used that online with Apple and hungryhouse.
Remote from Apple to remotely control iTunes (including AirPlay) and Apple TV.
Speedtest from speedtest.net for accurate speed measurements.  My ISP, A, 
does not throttle or prefer them.

KNFB Reader and VoiceDream were both once installed, but I now rarely use them, 
so they’re out.  You can use Speak Screen quite effectively to replace 
VoiceDream Reader, and I have a dedicated Sara appliance from Freedom

How Do You Use iOS?

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

I minimise the number of installed apps.  This is mostly so I can easily demand 
refunds for newly tested apps, rather than what I used to do of impulse-buying 
and then regretting it much later on when the app is actually needed for 
something important.  It also places the obligation upon me of hiding all 
unused apps, downloading on the phone rather than the computer, and configuring 
the apps immediately after setting up my phone.  My usual technique is to find 
trustworthy developers, and then install apps by those.  I don’t use location 
services, for privacy and battery life.  I also avoid communication apps 
because I need peace and quiet and hate distractions. Email me or use 
iMessage—separates most of the noise out. :)

So what apps do I have?  Apart from what comes with iOS, which are all right 
IMO and not worth substituting, and apart from the many games which are mostly

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Dan Rathburn]

Hi,

It lets you use an IOS device like a tape measure.  After calibration, place 
the device at the start of the measurement, tap Start, move to the end of the 
measurement, wait a few seconds and it will give you the distance.  The 
calibration is a bit tricky and it's good fro rough measurements.

HTH,

Dan

I just want to thank you all for contributing to this thread.

Honestly, I cannot stop smiling when I read your lists of apps and discover 
all of the various ways you use them.

To those who have not yet posted, please remember that you do not need to 
list only apps that have not yet been mentioned; just list the apps that you 
use and how you use them if they are not self-explanatory.

Personally, I am making a list of all of the marvelous apps you have 
brought to my attention that I have not yet explored.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you and, let’s keep ‘em coming. (Big,

Hi Mark, cool thread here’s my response to add to the others.

1. Good Mail for Enterprise, it’s a secure mail client owned by RIM now 
that I use to access my work email.  Since it’s a secure network we need to use 
a client like this to access exchange.

2. iMessage, I use the native messaging app as well as the Mac app to work 
with engineers in the field or other coworkers.  It’s great for me as I can 
respond on any device so it makes working very simple if I can cut and paste to 
the same conversation on my laptop and pick it up on the phone.

3. CNBC, I use the watch lists and also love the automatic notifications so 
I get my important breaking financial news.

4. Ootunes / i heart radio / radio.com / tune in pro/ XM sirius, these are 
the streaming music / media apps I use.  I like the XM because it syncs with my 
car, the other apps are just good over the air aggregators.

5. WhatsApp: secure messaging that’s encrypted end to end.  Migrating to 
this away from other apps for security reasons.

6. Bria soft phone, allows me to connect to my PBX, enables me to encrypt 
both the payload and signaling for my calls and has very good features that are 
totally accessible.  Also supports video.

7. Open VPN: allows me to connect to my own Open VPN server from my phone 
so when on public WiFi or other open environments I can encrypt my 
communications.  Supports very long keys and SHA-512 hashing firewall feature 
so very secure, especially good for traveling internationally

8. Apple Pay: love it, use it with my phone and watch.  B of A is also 
introducing card free ATM machines that you use your phone to authenticate.

9. Bank of America App: basic banking app

10. RSA Security:  Allows me to authenticate at work.  Use pin + RSA back 
end to produce a code I enter when logging in that changes every 60 seconds.

11. GPGtools:  Allows me to encrypt and decrypt emails securely.

12. IMAP weather Radio for weather alerts.

And as mentioned your good ol Major League Baseball app to listen to the 
San Francisco Giants or if anyone asks up here the Red Socks.:)

Other than that I like the included apps like the stocks app, music, video, 
and calculator.

I hope you will contribute to this thread by listing the apps you use most

Okay, here we go:

1.

I use the iOS clock for wake-up alarms and in some cases, to time

I use my Calendar for virtually all my appointments.  Today, for example I

Subject: Re: How Do You Use iOS?

Hi Mark, cool thread here’s my response to add to the others.

1. Good Mail for Enterprise, it’s a secure mail client owned by RIM now that I 
use to access my work email.  Since it’s a secure network we need to use a 
client like this to access exchange.

2. iMessage, I use the native messaging app as well as the Mac app to work with 
engineers in the field or other coworkers.  It’s great for me as I can respond 
on any device so it makes working very simple if I can cut and paste to the 
same conversation on my laptop and pick it up on the phone.

3. CNBC, I use the watch lists and also love the automatic notifications so I 
get my important breaking financial news.

4. Ootunes / i heart radio / radio.com / tune in pro/ XM sirius, these are the 
streaming music / media apps I use.  I like the XM because it syncs with my 
car, the other apps are just good over the air aggregators.

5. WhatsApp: secure messaging that’s encrypted end to end.  Migrating to this 
away from other apps for security reasons.

6. Bria soft phone, allows me to connect to my PBX, enables me to encrypt both 
the payload and signaling for my calls and has very good features that are 
totally accessible.  Also supports video.

7. Open VPN: allows me to connect to my own Open VPN server from my phone so 
when on public WiFi or other open environments I can encrypt my communications. 
 Supports very long keys and SHA-512 hashing firewall feature so very secure, 
especially good for traveling internationally

8. Apple Pay: love it, use it with my phone and watch.  B of A is also 
introducing card free ATM machines that you use your phone to authenticate.

9. Bank of America App: basic banking app

10. RSA Security:  Allows me to authenticate at work.  Use pin + RSA back end 
to produce a code I enter when logging in that changes every 60 seconds.

11. GPGtools:  Allows me to encrypt and decrypt emails securely.

12. IMAP weather Radio for weather alerts.

And as mentioned your good ol Major League Baseball app to listen to the San 
Francisco Giants or if anyone asks up here the Red Socks.:)

Other than that I like the included apps like the stocks app, music, video, and 
calculator.

Hello Everyone,

I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and the Mac Visionaries Mailing
List:

I was having lunch with a friend today at a sunny outdoor café and, during
our conversation, the subject of iOS and the number of apps we use on a
regular basis came up.  As we began listing our favorite apps, I once again
realized how much iPhone and it’s related apps have revolutionized my life
in almost every aspect.  

Below I will list the apps I used today and/or within the last two days.  In
some cases I will list the name of the app, in others, I will only list the
type of app. 

I hope you will contribute to this thread by listing the apps you use most
often as I and others would like to get to know you and, perhaps, discover
an app or two about which we can learn.

Okay, here we go:

1.
Clock:
I use the iOS clock for wake-up alarms and in some cases, to time activities
such as workouts or cooking.

2.
Calendar:
I use my Calendar for virtually all my appointments.  Today, for example I
was reminded of two upcoming doctor appointments and, of course, today’s
lunch date.  I also used it today to schedule new appointments including a
date with a person I met via an online dating app which I will list below.

3.
Messages:
I send and receive text/iMessages all through the day for everything from
staying in touch with friends to financial activity notifications.

4.
The Weather app:
Even though we do not have much variation in our weather patterns out here,
I usually check the weather at least once a day, before going out.

5.
Financial apps:
I use my financial institutions, including banks and credit card companies,
apps to transfer funds, pay bills, and monitor account activities.  Just as
an aside, I do not use any third-party services to manage my finances.  AT
this time, I need absolutely no sighted assistance in reading/monitoring
account activity or paying b

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

[Simon Fogarty]

Thanks Scott, I’ll have to go have a look at them.

I’ve been looking for a good vpn for home for a while.

I was thinking of just using SSH from my mac mini but I got side tracked.

But thanks those options give me further thoughts.

Now off to warm up for black sabith concert.

Hi Simon,

first, the Good mail app is very similar to other mail apps but with some 
differences.  You get the same folder structure but there are buttons 
intermixed between each message so if you swipe from left to right you might see
unread, subject, then right whether you’ve responded or the date etc.
At the top there are buttons for things like inbox, outbox, and towards the 
bottom you have buttons for the calendar or other features like document 
sharing etc.
The accessibility is very good and includes fingerprint recognition 
so you don’t have to type in your password.  It’s not as clean and streamline 
as the native mail app so there’s more fluff but the fluff isn’t so fluffy that 
it’s unusable.  For a company app you’re forced to use, I don’t hate it.:)

As for Open VPN, actually, I run the VPN instance on a droplet at Digital Ocean 
running Centos 7.  I can’t recommend Digital Ocean enough.  You can create an 
account, select your OS of choice (Unix flavors), spin up your machine, receive 
your root password in email or pre-upload an SSH key, and select from machines 
as little as $5.00 per month up to $699 per month depending on how much memory 
and disk and CPU you need.  All disk space is SSD so the performance is 
unbelievably good.  Machines provision in under 60 seconds and reboot in under 
10.  For $5 you get more than enough machine for a VPN including 1 CPU, 512M of 
memory and I’ve never been billed for transferred data but they say 2GB.  For 
$20 you get 2 CPUs, 2GB and 40GB of space and so forth up to 20 or more CPUs, 
64 GB of memory and lots and lots of disk.
http://www.digitalocean.com

You install the server on CentOS or Ubuntu and then you can install various 
clients including for the Mac, Android, IOS, Windows and of course any Linux 
Variant.  You issue a certificate for each and bam.  I’d say if you follow a 
good tutorial and have a basic understanding of Unix you should be fine.  How 
too Forge has a good example as does Digital Ocean on their forums.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Scott]

Actually you’re in for a disappointment then because your Mac eventually will 
run IOS if the Mac lasts long enough and Apple doesn’t get out of the PC market 
entirely.

I think it was with the introduction of the iPad Steve Jobs announced then that 
the goal was to unify all the products from the laptops to the phones to the 
tablets on IOS eventually and that each upgrade would bring the platforms 
closer.  I think you can argue that’s under way now and well underway at that.  
It might have been the introduction of the App store.  I for get exactly but I 
remember that being in the announced long term Apple road map.

Hi Scott,

Interesting your using the RIM mail client for exchange connectivity for your

How different is it to outlook or the mail app on the phone?

I hadn’t heard of RIM doing a IOS app?

And OPEN VPN I assume your server is setup on a mac at home somewhere and if so 
how difficult is it to setup?

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Scott]

Hi Mark, cool thread here’s my response to add to the others.

1. Good Mail for Enterprise, it’s a secure mail client owned by RIM now that I 
use to access my work email.  Since it’s a secure network we need to use a 
client like this to access exchange.

2. iMessage, I use the native messaging app as well as the Mac app to work with 
engineers in the field or other coworkers.  It’s great for me as I can respond 
on any device so it makes working very simple if I can cut and paste to the 
same conversation on my laptop and pick it up on the phone.

3. CNBC, I use the watch lists and also love the automatic notifications so I 
get my important breaking financial news.

4. Ootunes / i heart radio / radio.com  / tune in pro/ XM 
sirius, these are the streaming music / media apps I use.  I like the XM 
because it syncs with my car, the other apps are just good over the air 
aggregators.

5. WhatsApp: secure messaging that’s encrypted end to end.  Migrating to this 
away from other apps for security reasons.

6. Bria soft phone, allows me to connect to my PBX, enables me to encrypt both 
the payload and signaling for my calls and has very good features that are 
totally accessible.  Also supports video.

7. Open VPN: allows me to connect to my own Open VPN server from my phone so 
when on public WiFi or other open environments I can encrypt my communications. 
 Supports very long keys and SHA-512 hashing firewall feature so very secure, 
especially good for traveling internationally

8. Apple Pay: love it, use it with my phone and watch.  B of A is also 
introducing card free ATM machines that you use your phone to authenticate.

9. Bank of America App: basic banking app

10. RSA Security:  Allows me to authenticate at work.  Use pin + RSA back end 
to produce a code I enter when logging in that changes every 60 seconds.

11. GPGtools:  Allows me to encrypt and decrypt emails securely.

12. IMAP weather Radio for weather alerts.

And as mentioned your good ol Major League Baseball app to listen to the San 
Francisco Giants or if anyone asks up here the Red Socks.:)

Other than that I like the included apps like the stocks app, music, video, and 
calculator.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Brian Fischler]

Great list of apps so far. Thought I would chime in on what I have used the 
past two days, as I like to say to the good people at Apple you may work with 
VoiceOVer but I live with VoiceOver.

1. Apple Maps to track my subway route yesterday.
2. Blind Square to check what address I was near as I was going to a place I 
had only been to a few times. While not perfect it got me real close.
3. Downcast the must have podcast app.
4. Tune Radio so I was able to listen to the NFL Draft on the walk home
5. Facebook to post some fun stuff.
6. Twitterrific much more user friendly with VO then the native Twitter app 
although I hear the native Twitter app has made great strides.
7. Sports scores and alerts so I could check all the baseball box scores.
8. Yahoo Fantasy so I could edit my daily fantasy baseball teams lineup.
9. MLB At Bat to listen to the Yankees game.
10. Citibank to pay bills
11. Grub hub fortunately rolled back to older version of app so I could order 
dinner.
11. Blindfold Wildcard for a little relaxing.
12. Tito to select something to watch on tv great app but must have Tivo 
service.
13. IMDB to look up a cast of a show.
14. Newsy to read the recap of the show I watched to hear if I missed anything 
as the show did not have AD.
15. Amazon to order anything with prime.
16. Weather Radio to check the daily forecast  after getting off the subway.
17. Just some others as this list is getting long Amazon video, Netflix, Amazon 
Music, Bard Mobile, and now Vorail to have fun talking to people all over the 
world.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Hello Mark.

Thanks for posting your app usage.

I thought I’d list some of my apps that I use.

1.  I use The IOS Calculator to help me budget as I can’t do maths so I find 
that extremely helpful.  As I was premature, I was told that having too much 
oxygen would have destroyed my capability of adding numbers.

2.  I use Notes, calendar for all my notes and appointments needs.

3.  Skype, HSBC (my banking app) for online banking.

4.  I have Apple Pay but haven’t used it yet.  One day I will.  The problem is 
as I’m not allowed to have my mobile with me during the day, I can’t make full 
use of it as I’d like.

5.  Skype, KNFB Reader, Blind Square.

6.  Downcast, I prefer that to the native app on the I phone.

7.  Radio Player, (not sure if you can get that in the US).

8.  BBC News, BBC I player.  Can’t do without those two things.  I know you 
can’t get those in the US.

9.  Occasionally, The Audible.co.uk  App.

10.  Amazon.  If I want to shop online, I swear by Amazon as clear descriptions 
of the items make it easier for me to shop online if I want.

11.  I’ve used Be my Eyes once for help.

There are others but I don’t want to bore you all.  I don’t buy many apps and I 
try to use as many apps on the I phone for other needs such as the clock, 
alarm, health and a few other things.

Thanks.

Kawal.

How Do You Use iOS?

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and the Mac Visionaries Mailing
List:

I was having lunch with a friend today at a sunny outdoor café and, during
our conversation, the subject of iOS and the number of apps we use on a
regular basis came up.  As we began listing our favorite apps, I once again
realized how much iPhone and it’s related apps have revolutionized my life
in almost every aspect.  

Below I will list the apps I used today and/or within the last two days.  In
some cases I will list the name of the app, in others, I will only list the
type of app. 

I hope you will contribute to this thread by listing the apps you use most
often as I and others would like to get to know you and, perhaps, discover
an app or two about which we can learn.

Okay, here we go:

1.
Clock:
I use the iOS clock for wake-up alarms and in some cases, to time activities
such as workouts or cooking.

2.
Calendar:
I use my Calendar for virtually all my appointments.  Today, for example I
was reminded of two upcoming doctor appointments and, of course, today’s
lunch date.  I also used it today to schedule new appointments including a
date with a person I met via an online dating app which I will list below.

3.
Messages:
I send and receive text/iMessages all through the day for everything from
staying in touch with friends to financial activity notifications.

4.
The Weather app:
Even though we do not have much variation in our weather patterns out here,
I usually check the weather at least once a day, before going out.

5.
Financial apps:
I use my financial institutions, including banks and credit card companies,
apps to transfer funds, pay bills, and monitor account activities.  Just as
an aside, I do not use any third-party services to manage my finances.  AT
this time, I need absolutely no sighted assistance in reading/monitoring
account activity or paying bills.  To me, this is as close to miraculous as
it gets.  Some of you may be too young to understand that there was a time
in the not-so-distant past, when those of us who were visually impaired had
virtually no privacy in such matters.  This is something that we should
never forget.  

6.
Downcast:
I use Downcast on a daily basis to listen to my favorite podcasts.  I also
use the native podcast app but not to listen to external audio but only to
listen to material that I have manually tagged for the app such as my
favorite old-time radio episodes.

7.
TV Guide Mobile:
Even though I don’t watch a great deal of television, last night, for
example, I used TV Guide Mobile in order to check listings and set my DVR
for future broadcasts.

8.
CVS Pharmacy Mobile
One of my most favorite apps is CVS Pharmacy Mobile.  I use it, regularly,
to manage and refill my prescriptions.

9.
Seeing Eye GPS:
For me, this is a must-have app.  Simply stated, it provides an almost
unparalleled level of independence in the iOS navigation universe.

10.
The K N F B Reader app:
Even though I have several tools available for OCR, I find that I am using
the K N F B Reader more and more to take quick snapshots in order to obtain
information on the fly.

11.
The native iOS Twitter App:
I use this app throughout the day in order to stay up-to-date on current
events and to participate in the global conversation.  It is a must-have, in
my world.  I just love the Moments feature.

12.
Maps:
To me, the native iOS Maps app is like a trusted friend that I can always
count on.  With it, I know that, no matter the situation, I can always find
my way home.  It was because of the marvelous accessibility of Apple Maps
that convinced me to give up my 6 year subscription to A T & T Navigator, a
first-class GPS navigation tool in its own right.

13.
Apple Pay:
As I have posted on several occasions, Apple Pay has completely
revolutionized my point-of-purchase experience.  I live in an area where I
can use Apple Pay on a daily basis, for example, when buying groceries,
dining out, getting medicine, or even purchasing gifts or office supplies.
It is absolutely amazing.  

14.
Online dating apps:
I have been a long-time advocate of making online dating/online dating apps
accessible to the blind and low vision.  I am pleased to tell you that the
major online dating services, such as eHarmony.com, have been listening.  As
a result, I use online dating apps to meet new people, on a regular basis.

15.
Audio Book apps:
I use BARD Mobile, iBooks, the Audible.com app, and OverDrive (the public
library system) app, to enjoy audio books.

16.
Terrestrial radio app: 
I find that I am using the ooTunes app, more and more, to catch A.M. talk
radio when I am in places that cannot receive A.M. signal.   

17.
Fandango:
In an era in which audio described movies are becoming more readily
available, I enjoy using the Fandango app to both browse movie listings and
purchase tickets.  

Finally, of course I use other apps such as the Money Reader app, Skype, 1
Password Pro, News Line, OneDrive, the native
