One feature I would like to see is in an app called Sequel. What they let you do for TV shows is mark each episode as complete as you watch them. This is useful for tracking where you left off, in case your streaming app doesn't show this correctly. This app does give other information better it appears.
I've heard from several people recommending Sequel, will try it out!
@@beardfm I hadn't been aware of Sofa and will check it out. It appears more feature rich. Would just like them to pick up this additional feature if I was to switch
Oh man please do more videos like this. Love deep dives into apps like this.
I will! Appreciate it
I think sequel does a better job at tracking tv shows and also gives notifications when new episodes are out
If you want to track TV shows granularly, yes. But for my use, I really love the tags and smart lists in Sofa.
Great review, I was waffling between Sequel and Sofa, but decided to stick with Sofa and after this huge update, I'm glad I did!
Thank you! Loving Sofa after this update for sure.
You just got me back to Sofa, wow!
These updates brought me back too!
Great video! Have you done any reviews of cloud storage apps on iOS devices?
Big fan of your channel and podcast! 👍 How can you set up a voice-activated shortcut that asks ChatGPT a question and then announces the answer out loud? Sort of like a SiriGPT, or a built in Rabbit or Ai Pin. Thanks a ton!
Appreciate it! And I show how to do that here. Great for the Action Button, or you can set it as a back tap: czcams.com/video/BBG-qYFgbQ0/video.htmlsi=S6UFh2c5IVhq2z2w&t=222
Thank you!!
Oh I got super excited, I thought it was self hosted
I just started to use after this video and this is so useful for me everyday. thank you so making my life easy
Glad I could help!
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Welcome!
Can you also use Sofa as a CZcams Watch Later organizer?
Absolutely! I forgot to show it, but Sofa lives in the share sheet as well. So if you're on CZcams or in Safari, just hit Share and you can save to Sofa. You get a screen to add tags / categories before saving too.
@@beardfm very cool, thanks!
I think this would stress me out trying to get it up to date and maintained but definitely something to check out for me! Suggestion: Scanner Pro -- but better yet, maybe compare/contrast 5 or so different iPhone scanning apps vs Notes. I need to find something new. I get a little anxious suggesting because you maybe did this already in the past lol so if so, apologies!
No worries! Give that you can scan directly in the Files app and Notes, I don't use any third party apps. Plus I did some Shortcuts on customizing scans so that has everything I need!
I have problems even using Google translate on iPhone. It can not use correct spelling of words? I don't know how tostart writing in translae after I stopped. All I can do is delete every thing. Make a video on the simple program so I can use it.
I’m looking for a great way to catalog and store my media collection. Physical and digital. Maybe with a barcode scanner for faster adding etc..
Hm that would be nice. Or at least recognize the cover on physical media. Maybe with iOS 18 😬
@@beardfm now that would be a great addition to an iOS update
RIP Delicious Library app for Mac & iOS from years ago.
Single app review suggestions? Craft, AdGuard, Obsidian, Photomator, Pixelmator, Pixelfed, Mastodon, Loops (TikTok replacement), Proton suite of apps, Element, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve.
Ice Cubes > Ivory > Mastodon
That's a list! I love Pixelmator, Mastodon and several of those, but may need to finally try Obsidian...
I use the Sequel app to do the same thing. I find it works better than Sofa, especially for TV shows since I can keep track of which episodes I’ve watched.
I've tried sequel in the past, but it seems updated since last I looked. May do a deep dive comparing them...
A cool one is TV Time, which has no subscription option at all :) that’s just primarily for TV shows though, and they added movies later on 😊
so glad I saw this comment, Sequel is terrific!
@@beardfm I see that Sofa could technically do more, but it also requires more work. I like the management of this stuff to be as simple as possible so I can focus more on enjoying my entertainment rather than organizing and keeping track of my entertainment. I feel Sequel accomplishes that for me.
How is this app more expensive than things 3 plus devonthink combined ?
This app is great for whoever has nothing to do all day and pretend they are being productive or organized… well, it does help you get your media organized, but who has time for this?
thanks for commenting!
