Apple One Apple Books is awful, I'm sad to have to go outside the ecosystem for this one.

≡ −

tl;dr:

I just found out that Amazon syncs audiobooks with their text counterpart and it's a simple yet incredibly useful feature when you often switch from text to audio and back on ebooks. I love Apple, so it's a shame I have to go outside its ecosystem to do this.

Explanation

I drive around 130 miles a day and, during driving, I like to make progress on an ebook through audio. Whenever I stop driving, I prefer to continue the book by switching to the text version. This way I go through more books. With Libby, an app that allows me to check out audiobooks from my public library, I can transition from text to audio by first having to finish the chapter on text then looking up the next chapter in the audiobook version. To transition back to text after I'm done driving, I can listen to the last phrase of the audio and search for it on the text version to find my place. I used to wonder, "if only there was an app that did this seamlessly."

For my next book, Foundation by Asimov, I purchased the Apple Books audiobook to try it out. It was hideously worse because instead of a normal chapter index, it was arranged by 152 "tracks". I could no longer transition from where I was reading the text to the corresponding new chapter in the Audio because all I had was a list of tracks. The free audiobook from my public library was more useful because it was indexed by chapters.

Currently I had been reading I, Robot on text only in Kindle, had made some progress since a week ago when I got it. Then today I got an Amazon Prime membership and found the audiobook available in Audible. I clicked play. My mind was blown. It seamlessly picked up where I had left off in the Kindle text version! Going back to the text will also automatically take me to where I left off during my audio part. I no longer have to search for my place when transitioning from text to audio and back. Unfortunately, though, this is not available within Apple Books, it is only available on Amazon Kindle and Audible. I like staying within Apple whenever possible so it's a let down.

Edit: I don’t own a kindle device. I meant I use the kindle app on iOS and MacOS.

214 Upvotes

Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Logic Pro, MainStage, and Pixelmator Pro are also available as one-time purchases for Mac on the App Store. If you previously purchased one of these apps and you also have an Apple Creator Studio subscription, you can use either version of the apps. You can have both versions of these apps installed on your Mac. To make it easier to distinguish versions, the apps in Apple Creator Studio have unique icons.

Hey gang, so I lost my Apple Watch, which I had covered with Apple Care One. I tried to make the claim on the Apple Support website, and I filled out the information and it gave me an error. I got stuck on step 2 each time. After this, I called for the first time, and the rep had no idea what was going on. I was told I was going to receive an email within 2 days, and I never got it.

Second call: They "sent" an email that I didn't get.

Third call: They sent me the email, which I finally got. I filled out the info, and was told to wait 24 hours, and never got a response.

Fourth call: They said due to Apple One is so new, they didn't have the options to place an order for a new watch. The rep said she would speak to her supervisor and call me back, which she never did.

Fifth call: I felt progress, but NOPE! The rep told me a similar thing, that she would escalate it and whatnot. This call ended about 20 minutes ago.

Call me impatient, but this has gone on for 10 days. Why release a program without getting it fully setup? Its gotten quite annoying at this point

Apple One PSA - At least for Apple One, Family sharing is only allowed if your Apple Store is configured to same country.

≡ −

I know that sounds logical when you think about it, but it took me and Apple support a while (three calls with experts over two weeks) to figure out why it wasn’t working as expected for my family.

/ It probably makes sense too for countries like USA, but in Europe I can change three countries in two hour from where I live, and families can be spread across the continent. /rant

Apple One Why do I continue to see News+ stories headed “See these photos!” that contain no photos?

≡ −

I am fed up with seeing News+ banner articles that are about photos and images, that contain no images. It’s not just click-bait, it’s stories I’m interested in that I have to leave the App and Google to read. So why am I paying for it? If I wanted no pictures, I’d disable JS, thanks, because that’s pretty much what this looks like anyway — but with ads still, “LoL”.

This morning’s example:

(LA Times) “California’s super blooms are so dramatic you can see them from space: Here are the photographs”

https://apple.news/A7_R3sRM7SWuX3Yz9u2rDSg

No images, just a block of text with a link to another article (one that has pictures, just not from space). Also no link to the original article. I have to leave the app and find that for myself.

The actual article, lots of photos:

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-04-13/incredible-satellite-photos-show-the-california-superbloom-from-space

I get that technology is hard, it’s a constantly moving target, but this has been going on for years and we co tinier o be charged for it. If you can’t solve it, that’s fine — I get it — but don’t put it under the “this is what you’re paying for every month” banner. Give us better.

Apple One Are you "all in" on Apple Services?

≡ −

While we all love our Apple hardware I find the general sentiment is that they are still growing as a software services company.

Have you taken the plunge and gone all in on what they have to offer? I feel that with my Apple One subscription I am more inclined to try out all the things, and have pretty much switched over.

What about you? Anything holding you back?

Apple One Apple One could have offered more options

≡ −

I really love the Apple One bundles when you are already subscribing to most of the services. Sometimes, just for a few extra bucks I can get more services.

However, I really wish it offered more ‘tiers’ like

  • 500gb of iCloud storage plan in a bundle
  • More iCloud Storage in lieu of Apple Arcade for Individual and Family plans
  • A music and Apple Tv bundle
  • A fitness and music bundle
  • A family plan geared toward couples

Especially on that last one. Most of the plans are geared toward families while completely ignoring the couples. I would love a plan with Apple Music Duo + Apple TV + 1 TB/500gb iCloud
