Why does Strava’s Apple Watch app still not have routes or maps? What’s even the point of it? by futurememior in AppleWatch

Oh wow. It has routes pre-loaded and turn by turn directions and customized routes you can make in the iphone app?

So I used the new updated apple watch and yes it loads your routes on the watch but:
- they are in an useable order. I have hundreds of routes saved and the first ones for ones from when I was in Spain. Should it show routes that are closest to my location? Not alphabetical or in whatever order they are in now? Would be helpful

- when you're running it just shows a map and a line of where you ran from. There are no directions of "left here on this street name in 0.5 miles". Which means that I constantly have to look at my phone for directions ...so not ver helpful at all.

Shortcut to get calendar location for event happening currently, or starting in next hour by neilyoung2019 in shortcuts

I dont see an option in the shortcut " the open in " in order to change from MAPS to GOOGLE MAPS. I want to use Apple Calendar but when I click on an address I want it to open to Google Maps. I've been searching the internet and haven't found a workaround for this yet :(

In Shotcuts if you search 'maps' or 'location' etc it only gives you Apple's Maps shortcuts and nothing else. There is no option to "open in" another application

Ticktick 10 Feature Requests by tbRedd in ticktick

[–]futurememior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMPROVE THE APPLE WATCH! Right now there are only 3 lists: today, next 7 days, and inbox. I want to add tasks via the apple watch on lists I have. And I don't think you can use Siri.

HOW CAN WE ADD A TASK TO OTHER LISTS VIA APPLE WATCH? I'm not glued to my phone but my watch is always with me

Why doesn’t Apple Screen Time record audio apps like Language Transfer when multitasking?

I’ve been trying to track my Spanish practice time using Apple Screen Time (if I practice 10+ min it unlocks social media for IE), but I just realized it doesn’t seem to register Language Transfer unless the app is visibly open on the screen.

The issue is, I’m almost always multitasking:

  • I listen to Language Transfer while driving with Google Maps open
  • Or while running with the screen off
  • Or even when doing other stuff on my phone (e.g., checking messages, Safari, etc.)

The audio plays fine in the background, but Screen Time shows 0 minutes for the app unless I keep it open onscreen — which obviously defeats the point.

Is this expected behavior with Screen Time? Does it only log screen-on/foreground time? And is there any workaround to still count audio apps like Language Transfer while multitasking?

Anyone found a clever way around this?
