News from the world of applications
Spotify won't just get on Apple TV (October 18)
Spotify, the most widespread music streaming service with a base of more than 40 million paying users, will not support the tvOS operating system in the near future. According to a discussion on the GitHub server, this platform is currently being used by a Swedish company "does not prefer", which means that owners of the fourth-generation Apple TV will still need to use AirPlay to stream Spotify.
This situation can hurt competitors like Pandora and Apple Music, which are featured on Apple TV. After all, the music service from the Cupertino workshops is the biggest rival of the Scandinavian giant. In terms of paying users, however, Spotify still leads: 40 million versus 17 million. If we also add Spotify to the good and users using the free version of the service, the Swedes can boast of more than 100 million users.

SoundShare for iMessage makes it even easier to share music (20/10)
SoundShare is a music social network available only through iPhone. It aims to share music essentially regardless of source (at least in theory).
SoundShare also applies the same philosophy to its iMessage app. The application will initially offer a list of the hundred most popular songs in iTunes, but of course you can also search for any other. The selected track is then presented to the recipient of the message as a large image of the respective album with the title and artist.
Tapping the image brings up options to play the song, with the three main links going to iTunes, Apple Music and YouTube. But the "Open in SoundShare" button will also offer other streaming services such as Spotify and Deezer. If the given user is logged in to one of the services through SoundShare, the song will start playing.

Important update
The sixth "big" version of Scanbot has been released
Scanbot is one of the most popular mobile applications for document scanning. It handles documents, QR codes and barcodes. The fifth major update focuses mainly on working with documents after scanning.
Scanned documents are primarily saved as PDF files, and the application now offers wide options for working with them efficiently. Scanbot 6.0 allows you to rotate pages in PDF files, change their order, and add notes using text highlighting tools, pencils of several colors, and erasers. In the version Pro the OCR function for text recognition can now be turned off.
To make the arrival of the new "big" version immediately obvious, the application icon has also changed. The somewhat infantile face was replaced with a document image.
Further from the world of applications:

I tried Tapito and it's miserable. When you want to set your own resources, you will find that it imposes hundreds of completely uninteresting ones on you, which will take you tens of minutes to disable. What is a subscription to the Děčín daily for a person from Zlín? For nothing. And there are seriously dozens to hundreds of them, searching for them is slow and tedious and ... and in the end, even if you turn them off, it still shows them to you. Just useless. I "appreciated" the entire act in the app store and deleted it.
I also had a bad feeling about it, but try a different setting, click on Sources and there, for example, open the messages, but you can't mark it with a whistle, it will load everything, but click directly on the messages and then choose what you are interested in, and then it will be displayed beautifully as you want, it's a great app
