I started using an app called aCar back when I used Android, then that app was purchased and the lifetime users were forced to subscribe. The name was changed to Fuelly and the new owner abandoned it 4+ years ago.

I have looked at a couple on iOS and they either are barely functional (only tracking fuel ups) or very extensive app permissions are used.

I am looking for something that will track multiple cars, ideally across multiple devices so my wife and daughter can track theirs too. Fuel, maintenance, part numbers, etc.

I have been using Raycast with its integrated AI spell checking and I am completely impressed with the results. I would love to find an equivalent solution for iOS. When I look in the App Store, there are so many options and many of them are overly expensive. I wish I could find out if there is a consensus on a clear winner. One with the ability to create your own saved prompts would be ideal.

What app you'd recommend for listening local, manually downloaded .mp3-formatted podcasts?

It's a pity that the one you like the most is not willing to upload their episodes into any platform :D

I have a hardware device which allows me to stream live free to air tv over my wifi network. The manufacturer has decided to retire to product and has removed the app from the AppStore!?

So, next time I get a new phone I’ll be screwed.

I am not jailbroken, and the last time I was was a while ago.

I have a windows pc, iPhone 8, and iPad Air 2 at my disposal. Both devices have the app in question installed.

Ideally, I would be able to download the IPA and move it to a new device without having to side load it. At this point in my life I don’t really have the time and patience to jailbreak.

Do you guys have any ideas?

  1. Go to Settings ➜ Accessibility ➜ Siri
  2. Turn on "Type to Siri"
  3. Go to the Shortcuts app
  4. Create shortcuts that ask for input with short names (they're not case sensitive)
  5. Your iPhone now has a command palette

Looking for recommendations for a sleep app on iOS, I used one on android quite some time back but looking to get good suggestions from people here using some actively.

Specifically would like something that can wake you up at the best time by tracking your sleep cycle time and whatnot. Hopefully not needing a watch of any kind as well.

I have recently noticed that there is an outline around buttons in iOS. At first I thought that this was because of the setting “differentiate without color” but it remains even after I turned that setting off. Is this a new feature or some other setting I have turned on?

When my iPhone 14 connects to my wife’s car Bluetooth (2015 Toyota Highlander) it starts playing Apple Music (I only have one song in it) how do I get it to open Spotify instead? I have a Shortcut setup for Spotify to run when connected but it does not actually run, it just gives a notification that there is a shortcut for it.

Does anyone have a list to the Apple communities on here, I’m looking for ones like shortcuts and watchOS, if there anymore you recommend that would be nice to.

So far there are three methods I am aware of to trigger a shortcut in the native iOS Shortcut app:

  • Use Siri
  • Tap the shortcut in the iOS Shortcut app
  • use personal automation

All of these require me to do something. Are there any other possibilities to do so? Background: I am running home assistant and HomeKit and would like to trigger a shortcut using intercom, to announce text to people in certain rooms/areas using HomePods there.
