Is there a place for recommendations of third-party apps?

There used to be a place on here to talk about anything at all, but I don't see that now, so I don't know where to ask this question.
It would be nice to have a place to exchange recommendations of 3rd-party software that provides applications not addressed in Apple products.
For example, the old will-maker program I used with OS 9 does not work on OS X. Quicken makes a great one, but it only runs on Windows, and I don't want to get involved with running Windows on my Mac just for that.
If there is a place on here or anywhere else on the web where Mac users exchange recommendations of third-party apps, I would appreciate any details.
And, of course, if anyone has a specific recommendation for a will-maker program, that would be great too.
Many thanks.

a brody:
I'm sorry but I find your response just a tad parental.
You suggest navigating "the entire board" before asking "for too much," even as you go on to recognize how huge and unwieldy it is. I think most of us give it a good shot, exhausting a reasonable amount of search results, before posing a question. And it seems to me that your "given there are resources" could apply to anything at all that one might ask on here. All the answers came from somewhere; a person could go those "resources" instead! The point of these forums, I think, is to help and assist, in a reasonable manner according to reasonable guidelines.
What is the point of making suggestions, if the attitude is "don't you think the moderators have enough work on there (sic) hands"?
When you say "using the forums give plenty of chance to find the right application," well, I just wonder where you would suggest one ask something like "Can anyone recommend a good third-party slideshow application?" I have a hunch that no matter what forum a person plugged that into, someone such as yourself might chastise him for posting off subject!
That is why my point was to ask what happened to the section that used to entertain miscellaneous questions on almost any topic. And it is why I wished aloud for a section where types of (third party) applications could be posted. That would NOT mean, as you seem to suggest, that suddenly a topic for every conceivable kind of application would be created.
And finally, if you think all the information I hope for is already in the forums, or could be asked about and supplied in the existing forums, then I wonder how you think moderators would be additionally overburdened merely because the same stuff was simply more organized and easier to find.
Forgive me if I sound overly defensive, but it seemed to me your response was a bit of a putdown and not very constructive.

  • Does anyone recommend a third party app called siri-for-iphone-4?

    I saw a third party app called siri-for-iphone-4 which is supposed to add siri to older iphone 4, but do not know if it is suitable or useable.

    Is it an app that you can download from the App Store? If it is not, it would require that you jailbreak your phone which would void your warranty. Definitely not worth it, in my opinion.l

  • Is there a way to refuse a third party app update?

    I read a lot of reviews before purchasing an app. In many cases problems seem to arise with the update. Is there anyway to turn off the automatic update for third party apps? Or selectively deny an update to a particular app?

    You cannot turn off the notification for third party updates. You do NOT have to accept the update - the update will only occur if you select the app and allow the update to take place.
    You will have to simply ignore the notification if you really do not want to update the app, but it some cases - apps will no longer work if the iOS is updated and the app is updated to run only in the newest iOS. So just be aware of that as well.

  • Third party app for single call delete

    how do i delete single call entry in my iphone4 or any third party application available for this?

    There is no third-party app for this, as third-party apps do not have the ability to edit the call list

  • Conflict with Third Party Apps?

    I am getting an occasional error saying there is a possible conflict with third party apps and that I need to check the drivers of my MIDI devices to see if they are up to date? Sorry but I did not record the exact wording. Does anyone know what this might mean, and how I need to go about checking drivers? I have a lot of interfaces and not sure how to see what's what. Thanks.

    Hi Midlake,
    Well, because they are known troublemakers. Search for 'takes' or 'take folder(s)' or 'comp' here on the forum and you'll find many a troubled soul crying out for help - including seasoned pro's, who thought they were beyond tears...
    O, they are fine for recording many takes - but thats' all. I'll select the best takes/phrases.

  • Multitasking apps and non multitasking third party apps

    So, are all apps multitasking apps? Or do we have to wait for updates regarding third party apps for multitasking?
    Thanks,
    Reed

    For an app to support multitasking it must be compiled using the 4.0 SDK. So you'll have to wait for updated apps. I expect a boat load of those to be released soon.

  • Access to my Office 365 third-party app for external user : "a User account is not registered for the account"

    In my third-party web application of Office 365, I want to have access to the contacts, events and emails of all the users from the organizations who installed my app. The thing is I don't want that all these users have to grant me access, I just want one
    admin of the org to grant access for my app and then be able to retrieve the data I need for all the users.
    To test for one organization, I logged in as the admin and proceed to the Oauth2 authentication to retrieve the access token and in the first request (the GET one to retrieve an authorization code) i add the parameter
    prompt=admin_consent.
    With this access token, I can access the data (emails, contact, event) of the admin
    for instance for the contacts
    uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(adminemail)/Contacts
    but not the data of the other users of this org with this uri
    uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(useremail)/Contacts
    The only thing I can do is retrieve an access token for each user but it supposed that each user has to authorize the access to the app but it's very cumbersome. So, i don't see what enables the parameter prompt=admin_consent and how to use it. Does anybody
    know what it does?
    And my question is: how can I do to access the data of all the users of one organization when the access has been granted by one admin?
    Thank you!

        
    This was answered on StackOverflow by Dushyant Gill.  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25316175/access-to-my-office-365-third-party-app-for-external-user-a-user-account-is-n/25316678#25316678
    You are sending the OAuth request to a tenant specific endpoint of Azure AD. Note the {key_provided} part of your Url - that part represents the tenantid or a registered domain name of an Azure AD tenant. Azure AD throws this error is the user signing in
    is not a user in that tenant.
    Multi-tenant applications like yours have two options:
    Perform home realm discovery yourself and send the SSO request to the correct tenant-specific endpoint of Azure AD: when a new Azure AD organization signs-up for your application, record its tenant ID, and registered domain names. On your login page, ask
    the user for their email and try to discover what Org they belong to using the suffix the email.
    Use the common endpoint of Azure AD. Instead of the {key_provided} part of the URL, use 'common'. In this case Azure AD will determine the user's tenant and sign-in the user. The token that your application will receive will still be from the user's tenant
    (iss claim).
    2 is more convenient for apps. However #1 has an advantage when the user's Organization has customized their sign-in page with the company logo etc - in the case of #1 the user will directly be taken to the customized and familiar sign-in page.
    I recommend a combination of the two: try determining the user's organization and sending them to the tenant specific SSO endpoint. If you're not able to - send them to the common endpoint.

  • Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way!

    Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way! Apple TV is not Apple anymore...

    Primarily because those third party apps are just that, they are not Apple apps, and each have their own requirements for activation.

  • How are the third party apps for the iPhone?

    Being a long time Palm user, then moved to BlackBerry I watched the quality of third party apps really plummet due to a more restrictive development agreement.
    Now considering an iPhone, I'm curious about how healthy the 3rd party app community is for iPhone, something I miss from my Palm days. From what I've heard, the development for iPhone applications is even more restrictive than for BlackBerries.
    Anyone that wouldn't mind addressing one or all of these questions for me from their own experience, would be greatly appreciated.
    1) Do you use third party applications on your iPhone, or do you find the native Apple software to be sufficient?
    2) Are there alot of different choices for utilities, or do you find yourself pigeonholed to 1-2 programs.
    3) Would you say that the third party apps are "mature" that is stable, follow similar flow/integration with the phone and designed in an intuitive way?
    Again thanks for anyone that chooses to help me with this. I was really disappointed with the apps available for the Blackberry. At $15-$25 dollars each, I was usually let down by the quality and selection and overall experience.

    The native software is excellent and I also have apps to fill in for things not available as part of the out of the box iPhone.
    2) Are there alot of different choices for utilities, or do you find yourself pigeonholed to 1-2 programs.
    If you go to the app store and browse, you'll find lots of different utilities. In some cases, there are a dozen different options that do the same basic thing and in other cases there are a couple.
    3) Would you say that the third party apps are "mature" that is stable, follow similar flow/integration with the phone and designed in an intuitive way?
    Some apps are well done and others aren't. Since they are developed independently, there is variability. The apps I use most frequently seem pretty stable. It all depends on your needs.

  • Cisco support for third-party apps on SRE?

    Hi - I am thinking about running some third-party unified communications apps under VMWare ESXi5 on a Cisco SRE 900 module.   According to the Cisco docs, third-party apps are supported on these modules (see table below) but the app in question is NOT on Cisco's list below.  
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps10598/data_sheet_c78-553913.html
    Some questions:
    1.  As long as the third-party app is capable of running under VMWare/VSphere ESXi5, is there anything on the SRE that would prevent you from running this third-party app even though it's not on Cisco's list?
    2.  What is Cisco's policy on the use of third-party apps that are not on their list?    For example, will they take a support call on the SRE running a non-listed app (I am not expecting them to help me with the app but I don't want to void any sort of support contract through the use of a third-party app not on their list).
    Thanks !

    As long as 3rd party app is capable of running on ESXi 5 it would run on SRE hardware. Cisco doesn't prevent these apps from running even if they are competitive. From a support perspective Cisco TAC will not take any support calls for these applications nor would know how to redirect the call to these 3rd party partners. Cisco TAC will only support SRE and ESXi related issues.

  • Safari 7.1 seed 1 crash several third party apps. How to downgrade to 7.0.5 for now?

    I Have upgraded my rMBP mid 2912 15 inches model running OSX 10.9.4 to Safari 7.1 seed 1 Yesterdaypray, as it just pop up on MAS. After the upgrade, most software run fine including Safari but there are several third party apps problem caused by Netscapepulginhostserver in the new webkit that come with Safari 7.1
    PdFPen Pro 4.3.1 crash when started, it cannot connect to webview using webkit. View ever for GMail purchased from MAS hang in the similar manner with ODFPen Pro when attempt to open the app in desktop view. But Viewer for GMail work in mobile view.
    i Have contacted support of both software but cannot get support. So this is very strange where Apple release beta on production machine for normal users.
    how can I downgrade Safari to 7.0.5? I heard that Apple just released the downgrade option in MAS yesterday July 16 but it still not show up in my Thailand MAS.
    can any friend point me to manually download and install Safari 7.0.5 so I can run other third party apps without too much hassles and problems
    HElp and advsie Is appreciated.

    I have tried reinstall 10.9.4 combo. The installation went fine but Safari 7.1 seed 1 was not replaced by 7.0.5 at all. It is still 7.1 seed 1 after reinstall the combo update. However, yo my surprise, all third parties apps that have problem and hang like Tuba, PDFPen Pro, and desktop view of Viewer for GMail start functioning as it should be.
    iin all, I still have Safari 7.1 seed 1 on my system but now problems with third party apps seems to go away.

  • Support for Third Party Apps when they take your money and don't respond

    Does Blackberry App do anything about third party apps that take your money and then don't give you what you paid for or respond?  I paid $4.99 for Jeweled game from getempower, it downloaded and worked a bit, then it said I needed to Register.  When I clicked Register, nothing happened, it just said "checking registriation" forever.  I clicked on the Support Email provided and it returned an error saying "We get too much spam so you can't email us anymore, so please go to our website for support."  So I went to the website www.getempower.com, and got to the Support form and filled it out, and it said "you cannot submit form until you choose the app" but when I tried to choose the app it wouldn't let me.  I can't see anywhere else on the web page to contact them. So I paid for the game but it won't let me get to it.  I looked at the reviews and it looks like several other people have had this same problem.  I guess I thought buying something through App World would be trustworthy - App World, do you stand behind the vendors you allow to sell on your site?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Firstly, as a user-to-user community, no one here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. This site is not a channel for any formal communications with RIM. All support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into RIM at no charge to the end user...and that is the required path for formal support for issues such as yours (including requests for refund, if you choose to go that route). So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums. 
    But, have you tried removing and resinstalling the app? And/or clearing the AppWorld cache?
    Good luck!

  • Custom Live Tiles for Third Party Apps

    Hello,
    how can I create custom live tiles for third party apps? There are a lot of applications which can pin live tile which starts another app - for example Facebook. How can I do that?

    You cannot. You can create live tiles only for your own app, not for others' apps.
    See
    Working with tiles, badges, and toast notifications for documentation on creating live tiles for your own apps.

    Where can i complaint about a Developer imposture for a third party app that i have already purchased?

    I'm not sure what you mean by a "developer imposture", but if you are having a problem with an app that the app's developer cannot or will not assist with, go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

    I'm really in trouble that I can't record and check my blood  glucose.
    Of cause I exported the data from app, but It's not readable for me.
    Please reply ASAP and give me other solution.

    You find third-party apps in the App Store. What app are you looking for? Due to problems, Apple removed the ability to record that information in Health. You can always go back to whatever you used before three weeks Health was released. Why can you not check and record your blood glucose? I would assume you check it using blood samples and a glucose meter which has nothing to do with your phone. You should be able to record it in any number of apps, from Notes to purpose made third-party apps.
