Great app to watch a few irrelevant ads & share anything you type with Lukas Lubbe!

  

Update: version 2.0 — Same Ad-crippled, Slow, Unresponsive Terrible Experience, Now Costs $70 Per Year! Don't like it? Too bad, Lubbe's god-awful extortion platform now *requires* a monthly or yearly subscription (despite offering no new features, no updates in years, sharing every personally identifiable bit of data possible without consent, and still playing app-blocking ads for irrelevant online games).
GREAT NEW FEATURE: Forces user to wait up to 5 seconds before showing a couple ads, then a subscription paywall. Free option completely stripped–this advertisement viewing privacy exploitation platform now demands $70 per year (minimum).
Don't know Lukas Lubbe? Neither does anyone else, yet his app—which has not seen an update in years—that provides the same functionality as a number of free websites (or a relatively simple script) records and sends all keyboard input and copied text to... advertisers? Lukas Lubbe himself? along with uniquely identifying data about your phone including your geolocation, country, preferred language, model of device, and more! Lukas Lubbe, resting on his laurels with infrequent updates, sees that it is not enough to simply record all your text, but also show you a few untargeted, totally unskippable irrelevant ads—many of which are for mobile games that do not exist on the iOS platform, link to highly suspicious websites (many even blocked by browser protection), and needlessly disrupt the user's experience for a compulsory 15-30 seconds. All to provide a function that, other than serving ads and capturing needless data, does not use or require an internet connection at all. Or subscribe at an outrageous monthly rate and receive: the same lack of updates, no new features, black space instead of persistent banner ads for gambling services, obsolete mobile games, and "free ringtones", and still share everything you do in the app with Lukas Lubbe!!

critical privacy & security app

  

most people don't know how much invisible information is stored in every photo you take. this data precisely identifies you, the type of phone you use, the camera settings, information about any edits you made, what apps you use, your iCloud account info, as well as your geographic coordinates and exact time. It may also include data about the subjects of the photo, your friends, family, etc.
maybe it seems crazy to worry about someone or some company looking at this data, but you don't have to: metapho can easily remove all that data and you still have to same pic.
use it next time you upload a photo to instagram, facebook, amazon, even apple—they all use this data to better sell to you.
great app, easy to use, love the quick "share without metadata" shortcut in the share sheet.

SoundCloud Global Limited & Co KG

CARPLAY, FINALLY!

  

I'm rating 5 stars only to express my approval and appreciation that Soundcloud has finally entered the 2020s with a Carplay app.
The Carplay app is definitely not perfect, and the iOS app and web player could be improved (see below), but for now I am just glad to see it on Carplay so 5 stars for that.
1. make it easier to repost--it is annoying that there are three levels of menus to repost a track: first the ..., then "repost", then the choice to "repost" or "repost with caption". reposting content is what drives SoundCloud—please put a repost button on the now playing screen. If I really want to add a caption, then I can go through all the menus.
2. adding to playlists is difficult on every platform--it would be nice, again, not to have to click through 4 menus to add to a playlist, but also not to have to scroll for miles all to find the playlist I just added another track to. With more than 6 or 7 playlists (or dozens, hundreds) this is extremely tedious and i often give up). tl;dr: Please sort playlists by recently updated, especially when adding to playlists.
Would love to see these simple enhancements to keep this 5 star review!

An app design commensurate with the Paypal experience

  

Half of the buttons and links don't do anything, accessing recent transactions is almost deliberately obscure and difficult, text cannot be copied and pasted...
This is just an interface by which to scam people into making unwise and uneducated cryptocurrency purchases, the assets of which they actually do not own or have any legitimate control over and will certainly serve to make users poorer. The names (and apps and logos) change, but the game remains the same...

Good enough

  

Far and away better than using the ProUnlimited website although I've noticed the app doesn't properly save Sick hours.

great news app, sorry to see it go

  

I read circa almost everyday. Definitely the best way to read top stories quickly. The links to full stories / sources is great too. They built a great app, I'm hoping they can find a way to continue their great work.

Great concept/design, needs AI dictionary fixed

  

I love this type of game and think the design is wonderful. I have not found it to be buggy or anything but I do have to complain about the vocabulary of the AI.
In single player mode on hard, the AI used “words” like “sstor”, “ngai”, and “usquebae”, all of which are not found in a normal dictionary. I expect to see words I’ve never encountered before, but why can the AI play “sstor”, which doesn’t even yield any Google results, and I can’t play “nerdy”?
I hope this is reviewed!

Amazingly Beautiful

  

This truly great app design. It's intuitive, simple, beautiful, yet extremely functional. I can't wait to see what other units could possibly be converted.

Great new update

  

The new update looks great in iOS 7. This is certainly the best translation app available for any platform. If you are a Spanish student, this is definitely worth the investment!

Great price, great app

  

Tests speeds much more quickly and reliably than the other speed test programs I was using.
