Man... No love for Pandora? I got a three month free trial for Pandora premium back during the last week of November. Of course, I then bought an extra 3.5 jack to lightening dongle the following week at BestBuy only to find out that it came with a three month free trial of Apple music. Once my Pandora trial ends in February, I may give Apple music a try if that code is still valid. Even then, I can probably find a similar promo somewhere else.
I don’t know if I listen to music enough to pay $10 or $15 or whatever a month though. I will say, I don’t know if by upgrading to the Pandora premium service made a difference, but the iOS app is a lot clunkier and not as intuitive now than before with the basic free service. If memory serves though, Spotify bought Pandora a few months ago, so who knows if Pandora’s even going to be around for much longer. Outside of the music services mentioned, I guess the apps I’ve found myself using mostly this year are Twitterrific, Lire (Feeddler Pro got too buggy for me), VoiceDream Reader, the standard mail app, GVConnect and other similar apps since I use my phone heavily for business. Also, 1Password. It’s become especially easy to use with the new iOS 12.X Cristóbal From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2018 10:43 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: My 2018 Top Favorite Apps for iOS We do have the Apple Music skill in the US, but it only works on Amazon devices, not on anything third-party as yet. So if you have echoes, you’re in good shape. I purchased HomePods this year. I have a lot of ripped music in my iTunes library, plus Apple Music. I tried unlimited Amazon for a while and got rid of it.

I prefer Apple Music because I often simply use SIRI to tell it what I want to listen to, also my wife likes to listen to Filipino music and while I admit we haven't really checked out Spotify, Apple Music has a lot of it so we have a family membership and at $14.99 Canadian that is a pretty good deal especially now that I picked up $300 worth of iTunes gift cards for 17.5% off during Cyber Monday week and this means the music subscription is only $12.37 a month for both of us. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Shirley Healy Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2018 5:12 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: My 2018 Top Favorite Apps for iOS I love spotify!I also use that one.
