I have a question for our Android-using brethren who've had the opportunity to play with Now. I've read a bit about it over the past few weeks, and I've been excited about a port to iOS, but now that I have it, I'm not sure how or if it'll

The subject is an implied first person. (i.e., "I" or "we.") I see this kind of omission as a way for cowards to avoid explicitly standing behind their request, both to diminish their own disappointment if the recipient says no or ignores t

Wow. This was unnecessarily hostile. Though I agree that the tagline's a little confusing, the first two bullet points ("Never ask for a friend's Wi-Fi password again" and "Sync passwords between your tablet and phone") gave me a clearer un

Minutes are used for call forwarding and outgoing calls, yes. :) Thanks for the question. We're adding it to our FAQ shortly.

A UX guy's perspective, now that I've used the app a little: * The "I want to explore..." box doesn't really scream SEARCH BOX at me. My first instinct was that it was a kind of "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. You might be able to make it a lit

Sweet app. Downloaded and ready to use tomorrow in NYC. One thing: kerning. The 'A' in the wordmark is in no-man's land! T and G are friendly letters, and I'm sure they'd be more than happy to snuggle up on that A.

As much as I truly, truly loathe criminals of any sort, lionizing vigilantism, especially when the self-appointed avenger threatens violence, is misguided at best and dangerous (read: deadly) at worst. Please, if your phone is stolen, don't

This app isn't meant to be used in the subway – it's meant to used before you go down into the station. All the lines supported in the app have signs in their stations with the same live schedule information.

I responded to this on the other post regarding the Poke app on the homepage: Sure, it's like SnapChat, but isn't that always the dynamic in this industry: the Feature Qua Product (simplicity, focus) vs. Feature Qua Feature (integration)?

You're twisting the analogy in a way that clouds its real meaning. The point is that authorized service shops are provided with the training to perform repairs on these things, so whether the display/glass is glued to the body or not, peopl

I like the changes and new features quite a bit. My single quibble is that you can't use the MiniPlayer when iTunes is in fullscreen mode. I'd love to be able to relegate iTunes to its own Space and have the MiniPlayer float around the Spac
