Listener question: Chris asks How would you manage a fitbit in iOS?

Dave has a new Samsung 32" monitor and is loving it for his Mac. 32" UJ590 UHD Monitor Monitors - LU32J590UQNXZA But did you know that you can use it with your iPad? The image is crisp and for a much lower price is a great option for a large screen with the iPad.

Is iTunes Match really needed at this point? This article talks about widespread issues with the service and many users were frustrated. If you have Apple Music at this point it may not be really worth it and a redundant service but those who dont subscribe like what it does if its still going to be around. We discussed this.

Tips

You know this Message feature you send to your loved ones or friends when you can't take their call. You can send a message on your iPhone to avoid using the "Sorry, I can't talk right now"? Go to Settings > Phone, and Respond With Text, then replace one of the existing messages with your own.

Dave is one to listen to news, music, or a podcast as you drift off to sleep? I know I am not alone. Did you know you can have your iPhone stop playing music after a certain time - just set a Timer, choose how long you want your timer to last for, and before you complete, press 'When Timer Ends'. You can then scroll down to the bottom and select 'Stop Playing'.
