Mod Post An update on self-promotion

30 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

When we added the Developer flair, the goal was to give indie devs a way to share what they're building. We genuinely wanted to support people making cool apps.

But over the past while, it's turned into something else. The sub has filled up with low-effort promo posts, a few lines and a link, from people who drop their app and are never seen again. That's not what this community is for. r/iPhoneApps is meant to be a place for real discussion and value, not a free billboard.

So, effective today, we're removing the Developer flair.

To be clear about what this means going forward:

You can't just show up, promote your app, and ghost the community. Posts that are purely "here's my app, go download it" will be removed.

If you're an active member who actually contributes here, joining discussions, helping people, giving feedback, then mentioning your app in that context is completely fine. Value first, promotion second.

We'd much rather have devs who are part of the community than a feed full of ads. This keeps the sub worth being in for everyone.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for helping keep this place good.

— The mod team

Help Does anyone know of an app that plays the Korok noise with the touch of one button?

1 Upvotes

Doesn’t have to be the Korok noise. I suppose I should add why I want the app.

I’m looking to motivate myself while doing tasks like cleaning or exercising by playing a happy noise.

With a widget would be ideal.

Thanks for any help.

Discussion [iOS] Who Goes - Fun social games for when you’re hanging out with your group

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Introduction

Hey everyone! I'm Shubham, I've been trying to build an app for about 2-3 months along with my full time 9-6 job, and I'm happy to share my game nights app, Who Goes with you.

It's an iOS / iPad app for game nights, house parties, road trips, and pretty much any hangout with a group of people.

It’s free to download and play, with optional one-time purchase and subscription options.

The idea behind Who Goes is pretty simple: engage everyone in your group and involve them in something together, through social games like Headbands, Truth or Dare and a bunch of quick group activities into one app, with a modern, playful experience built around actually passing the phone around and having fun together.

About the app

The app brings multiple party games into one place:

• Headbands with tilt controls for correct answers and passes
• Charades with themed decks, teams, rounds, and timers
• Truth or Dare with 11 decks for friends, couples, parties, family, and coworkers
• Spin the Bottle for quick, suspenseful player selection
• Would You Rather for impossible this-or-that debates
• Finger Chooser to instantly pick someone from the group
• Quick Play tools for dice, coin flips, and more

Current Market

I know this is an insanely competitive category, with a shit-ton of party apps already out there.
My goal with Who Goes was never to reinvent the wheel, but to bring the ones people already know and play together in one place, without needing five different apps on your phone.

I wanted the whole thing to feel much more modern and polished than most party apps I've tried, with playful animations, haptics, sounds, and little interactions that actually add to the game instead of getting in the way.

No ads popping up between rounds, no cluttered UI, and no wildly different experience every time you switch games.

No account is required, and the games work offline.

TL;DR:

A. A game to bring back the fun of playing party games with a group of people during game nights, trips.

B. Free version includes a selection of decks for Charades, Headbands, and Truth or Dare, along with a few mini games. Plus unlocks all decks, game modes, and customisation options.

If you’d like one, comment with your App Store link and a short description of your app. If it isn’t live yet, share a few raw screenshots instead. I’ll take the first two with enough details to work from.

Help looking for a FREE screen time app for tweens/teens

3 Upvotes

Hi guys!

I’m looking for a free screen time app to download onto my 11 year old brother‘s ipad. We have tried the in built feature and it just does not work for us. All the apps that I seem to like the features of require a subscription :(( Here are my requirements:

- FREEEEEE i’m fine with using the free tier but if i am literally unable to use the app without getting a subscription that’s insane

- id be happy to download something that’s a one time purchase though!

- i quite like the features of “unrot”, specifically how you can earn rewards by doing certain tasks. the issue we‘re facing isn’t so much the amount of time spent on screens, but rather the fact that the screens are being prioritised over chores and homework

im fine with literally anything as long as it’s free and has the feature of “earning“ screen time. id appreciate any recommendations atp!!!

I recently came across “sequel media tracker” and it does what I wish letterboxd did. It’s got a modern design with Liquid Glass and is ad free. You can pay a subscription for some things but overall the app feels complete without playing a penny.

You can track movies, shows, games, books, and audiobooks aswell.

Help Restore iPhone app data

Please help, I’m not a tech-savvy person.

My daughter has a coloring app on her iPhone. She’s been working on the pages in this app for months. The app got deleted and when we redownload the app, the data isn’t restored. Her phone was backed up to the cloud two hours before this.

We’ve never backed her phone up to a computer though, so I don’t know how to retrieve the back up from the cloud.

Discussion Voice Journaling app for people who can't journal.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

I kept telling myself I should journal, just to look at my own life once in a while. But every time I opened the app I would sit there not knowing what to say first, and a few days later I would delete it. That happened more times than I want to admit.

Nanari is created to get rid of that pause.

Instead of a blank page, it asks first. It looks at the photos you took, the places you went, what was on your calendar, and asks one question about the day you actually had. You answer out loud for about two minutes and it turns that into an entry you can read later.

If you’ve ever given up on journaling because you couldn’t think of anything to write, try it.

Discussion Happy iPhone Duo Day! Tripsy for iPhone Duo is ready to unfold!

2 Upvotes

Admitedly a little bit of self promo, but wanted to share a little bit about what it's like to build an iPhone Duo experience with just the simulator, as our two co-founders did. And with this weekend marking most people's first hands on with the first folding phone from Apple we're pleased to confirm that with a new iPhone comes a whole new way to travel. ✨

We're incredibly excited to introduce Tripsy for iPhone Duo! More space to plan, more freedom to explore, and a whole new way to experience your journeys.

Your next adventure unfolds here. 🌍

Your travel plans deserve more room to breathe. ✈️

With Tripsy for iPhone Duo, enjoy a larger canvas to organize itineraries, explore activities, and keep all your travel details together.

More space for your plans. Less time navigating between screens.

Not just a bigger screen, a thoughtfully adapted experience. ✨

We've carefully refined Tripsy for iPhone Duo, making the most of its flexible displays and new possibilities.

Every screen. Every interaction. Thoughtfully designed for this amazing new device.

A special moment for our tiny indie team! ❤️

Tripsy has been featured by Apple Newsroom and in both the Today and Apps tabs of the App Store for iPhone Duo!

We're just a small team building an app we love, and this recognition means the world to us.

Thank you, Apple! ✨

You can read more about the small details of our iPhone Duo experience here:

tripsy.blog/iphoneduo/

Curious if any other devs have had to build the app with very little hands-on time with the device - and what are iPhone Duo users finding works well for them.

Discussion Looking for beta testers: Lading, a moving box tracker for iPhone 📦

3 Upvotes

**Looking for beta testers: Lading, a moving box tracker for iPhone** 📦

I’m a solo developer, and Lading is ready for real-world testing. You photograph each box, print a label in its room’s color, scan it onto the truck and off again, and Lading shows exactly what’s missing.

**What I’m looking for:**

* iPhone users on iOS 26.0 or later
* People who are moving soon, or who can run a practice move with 20+ boxes
* A practice run takes about 20 minutes, and a real move is even better

**What you’d do:**

  1. Add your rooms and at least 20 boxes, with a photo of each open box
  2. Print labels (sticker sheets, plain paper, or PDF all work)
  3. Scan boxes onto the truck and off again
  4. Leave a couple out and check the missing list

**What I most want to know:**

* Did any label fail to scan, and what was the light like?
* Did anything feel slow, especially past 50 boxes?
* Where did you get stuck or confused?
* Would you want to share a move with a partner?

**The good stuff:** no account, no ads, no tracking. Your boxes stay on your iPhone.

**Join (free, via TestFlight):** [https://testflight.apple.com/join/3ruUnn9B](https://testflight.apple.com/join/3ruUnn9B))
More info: [jeaneselatiolais.com/lading/beta](http://jeaneselatiolais.com/lading/beta)

Beta builds can have bugs, so please don’t use it as your only record of a real move. Thank you! 🙏

Discussion I've built my first app! A classic, simple RSS app, CleanRSS - Please help me test

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

I’ve built my first iPhone app.

It’s an RSS reader without the BS that many modern apps come with:

  • No signup
  • No subscription
  • No tracking
  • No ads
  • No magazine view

Just a simple, classic list. Tidy and straight to the point.

Right now you can add individual feeds or import an OPML file, and I’m hoping to add better feed search soon. Other features include a clean reader view, web view, open in browser, mark as read toggles, saved articles and iCloud syncing between devices.

For now it’s just for iPhone. Once I’m happy with it I’ll be extending it to Duo, iPad and macOS.

If you want to try it: https://testflight.apple.com/join/jgHQ7AqS

To be upfront, I used Claude to teach me at times, walking me through the steps whenever I got stuck or didn’t understand something while working in Xcode. I’ve been working on this for a few weeks now.

Discussion [iOS] Apricity: hear any book or web article read aloud on your iPhone, in natural voices that give the characters their own (free Premium year if you download by Oct 31)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Reading on a phone usually means pinching at PDFs, fighting pop-ups on articles, and juggling three apps for books, notes and listening. Apricity puts it all on one shelf, and reads any of it to you.

Listening • 54 natural voices in eight languages, made on your iPhone, with each line lit up as it's read • Character Voice reads what the characters say in a second shade of the voice, and Expressive Reading makes a whisper sound like one • Keeps going with the screen locked; the sleep timer stops at a full stop and picks up where you left off • In the car with CarPlay: pick a book on the car's screen and it carries on

Reading • PDFs, EPUBs, Word, MOBI, Markdown, comics and manga, all on one shelf • Reflow sets a PDF's text like a book, at your size, so no more pinching and dragging • Paste a link and a web article becomes a clean book, with no ads or pop-ups • Free public-domain classics, built in

And a notebook beside every book, writing right on a PDF, and a cozy room with a fire, rain or a busy café to listen to.

Free for good: every kind of book, the classics, highlights, notes, writing on PDFs, notebooks and iCloud sync. Premium (US$14.99 a year) adds Read Aloud, transcripts, Smart Notes, export, the soundscapes and furnishing the room.

Free Premium year: everyone who downloads Apricity by 31 October gets a year of Premium, added within a day. No card, and nothing renews.

iOS 26 or later, on iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Macs. No account, no ads.
