A Couple of iOS Dictation Tips

I am a huge fan of dictating requests to my Apple devices. For some reason, many times when I suggest to other people that they try it, they say, “I don’t like to talk to my devices.” I think if you’re around people all the time that certainly makes sense because you don’t want to […]

Everything is Fiddly – Dictation on my Walk

March 20, 2021
by podfeet

I dictate reminders to myself all the time while I’m on my walks. I wear AirPods, so I interrupt my podcast listening by saying, “Hey S-lady” and then “Remind me to …” I used to say “Remind me to… when I get home” but geofencing is not at all reliable, so I pick a time […]

My Quest to Leave Wunderlist

My Beloved Wunderlist You know I’m not a luddite and that I like new applications better than just about anybody. I may have illogical loyalty to an app here and there (like how long I stayed with SuperDuper! when I should have switched to Carbon Copy Cloner) but by and large I move on with […]

10 Reasons to Get an Apple Watch

I was chatting with my good friend Dorothy (aka MacLurker in the chatroom and in our podfeet.com/googleplus) about the big Apple announcements and we got talking about the Apple Watch. She tends to be of the more frugal amongst us and instead of going for the new shiny, she casts a more critical eye on […]

Apple Watch Health Tracking

Since I got my first Apple Watch two and a half years ago, one of my primary uses of it has been activity tracking. Those three coloured rings drive me to move during my day for the payoff of seeing them completed before bedtime. I have been managing over 3000 kilojoules a day (about 717 calories) by extending my daily commute and lunchtime walking. Part of the process is seeing the various reminders during the day – time to stand, and the occasional encouragement to get active. Plus the frequent notifications that friends have completed workouts. I’m looking at you, Allison.

Early in December I turned off all activity related notifications and removed the activity ring complication from my watch face. I did not want constant reminders that I could NOT meet my goals.

CCATP #496 – Bart Busschots on Yoink, MultiTimer and Due

Instead Bart’s going to tell us about three apps he’s just acquired on the advice of the NosillaCastaways and about which he’s really excited. He’s going to write blog posts about them soon, so keep an eye on this post to […]

Reminders is a Hidden Gem in iOS and macOS

There are a lot of terrific to do apps out there, from the simple little Wunderlists of the world to the great and powerful OmniFocus. But I thought it would be fun to do a deep dive into the Reminders app that’s built right into our Macs and iOS devices. I hadn’t poked around in […]

Guest Blog Post by Mark Pouley Hello Allison and fellow castaways, this is Mark Pouley with a review of an iOS app that I discovered last year and have been using ever since.
