Why didn't somebody tell me there's an iOS version of Out of the Park? Goodbye time.

Post by **Sabo** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 7:02 pm

I wish you hadn't told me this.

Just got it a couple of days ago. I'm a little miffed that I can't set my team's high-A roster, and I could have done without that 20-inning game in Game 3, but otherwise I'm good to go.

My boon for following soccer this year has been the talksport live football app. Live streaming radio of all EPL games as well as the English cups.

Huh. Billy Hamilton is on the Reds MLB roster in this game. He's also listed at shortstop.

His speed and base stealing ratings are 20s, in case you're wondering.

A year's worth of VPN, free, with your .edu email address (which is easy to get if you don't already have one).

So the new version is out? I need to download it then.

I was obsessed with FM over Christmas and have weaned myself off as the winter has progressed. Though I know I will get back into it as soon as I open the app again.

Its available on MAC as well. This could be bad.

Post by **Sabo** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 8:05 am

Gotta say I prefer the iOOTP instead of the full version. The full version was just too damn involved for my tastes. I don't really need to set the lineups for my low A ball team, although Rex apparently disagrees with me.

I said high A-ball. Setting your low A-ball lineups? That's nuts.

iPad.

I have a soft spot for the Dayton Dragons.

Sounds great. Is that kosher for US IP addresses, or do you have to jump through some questionably-hoops to make it work?

If you don't want to ruin all your free time or marriage or job, by no means download Jetpack Joyride.

Better, worse or the same as WIS?

I think I'm the only person I know who doesn't play games on my smart phone.

I play Giants games. Radio or TV feed. But that is it.

Other than a bit of WwF and Chess, I'm with you. Everyone is a screen-poking zombie these days.

I thought the same exact thing. Angry Birds Star Wars is my go-to these days.

Did you just ask the guy with the Twitter handle "@JohnOnTheJohn" if he shits or not?

Btw, I'm an info junkie. Not a smart phone games junkie. Twitter, Reddit, Buzzfeed, YouTube videos, etc are what I'm looking at on the shitter.

Brontoburglar · Post by **Brontoburglar** » Thu Apr 11, 2013 8:54 am

No games on my phone either. Just Twitter, email, texting and actually using it as a phone.

Man, you young guys. Always wasting time with communication and the news instead of enriching your life with video games like the people from my generation.

Your last tweet was April 6th. Once again, do you not shit?

Appropriately enough, I often play craps.

Anyone got a good simple app for measuring the distance of a short walk? Hit start, walk relatively straight until you see the display on your phone tell you, in the form of digital text, when you've reached 1,000 feet, stop.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 11:31 am

I use Nike+GPS now. No need to have the little sensor so long as you're using a smartphone. Works pretty well. Prob have to have a Nike+ account.

It comes with IOS8.

If you're walking 1,000 feet, why do you need an app to measure it?

Runmeter would probably fill this need.

Thanks almost everyone. I hate all these but it's not your fault.

I'm with Johnny on this one. Fuck Smartphone games.

Was checking out the SI HotClicks LLOD and googled her and forgot I had this installed.

"Pretties" up Wikipedia articles, really nice interface and allows quick shifting between the classic and wikiwand skin.

That French Guy · Post by **That French Guy** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 2:25 pm

Does anyone know a good Android app for music files ? I'm looking for one particular feature, the app has to allow you to check the random playlist it generates, so you can erase or move the songs and not have to come back every other song to press skip 4 times. Itunes had it but no luck so far on the Android side (Poweramp is my favorite for now).
thanks.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 12:57 pm

Is there a good app (besides Yelp, because fuck Yelp) that searches your location and pulls up coffee / restaurants / whatever by distance?

Google maps does that.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:19 pm

But you can't sort by distance, right? If I search espresso near me, the top hits are all in NYC.

Post by **Shirley** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:23 pm

Bring up the app, have it find you (click the little target button if you have to), and then click on "Explore around you"). On my iphone, it's right there on the bottom of the screen.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:28 pm

Oh dang, I never knew about that tool. Awesome. Thanks.
