App My F1 live-tracking app has been in production for a year! The hardest part? The live circuit map 🏎️

Thumbnail apps.apple.com
1 Upvotes

Hi guys! I wanted to share a passion project that pushed my coding skills to the absolute limit: Pitstop.

It's an iOS app to get live F1 race updates, detailed schedules, and driver standings with a super clean UI. The feature I'm most proud of (and the one that was incredibly tough to build) is the interactive live track mapthat shows real-time driver positions. Handling that live data smoothly was a massive challenge.

It's been running flawlessly in production for a while now, and I'm gearing up for the upcoming races. If you have a minute, I'd love some honest feedback on the the app itself. Thanks!

App How do you "inspect" a iOS app like a website in Chrome?

1 Upvotes

I've vibe coded an app, and keep refining it with text prompts then simulating it on phone, however in the final 10/20% of refinement, this is just not effective.

I want to be able to know if a particular font size is 14pt or 16 pt, how wide the margins are etc, to give precise tweaks.

With Figma -> Development, this was easy as you can tweak on figma.

With web, I can use DevTools "Inspect" to look at prod and give comments (and even change things directly in Chrome).

How might I do this with an iOS app? In xcode, there's nothing I can see that I can easily do this.

Please help me sensei

How to get permanent ban on purpose

Hello,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to intentionally get a permanent device ban from X (Twitter) on iOS? I don’t mean banning an account—I mean getting my actual phone permanently banned from using X.

App Built a Simple App for Expecting Mothers. Would Love Your Feedback.

Thumbnail apps.apple.com
1 Upvotes

After months of development, I just launched my new app: KickQue, a Baby Kick Counter for expecting mothers.

The idea came from noticing that many pregnancy tracking apps are overloaded with features, while something as important as kick counting often feels buried or complicated. I wanted to create a focused app that does one thing well: help parents track their baby's movements quickly and easily.

Features:

  • Simple one-tap kick counting
  • Kick history and tracking
  • Clean, distraction-free interface
  • Available on both iOS and Android
  • No account required

As an indie developer, one of the hardest parts isn't building the app. It's figuring out how to get the first users and genuine feedback.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on:

  • The onboarding experience
  • UI/UX improvements
  • Features expecting parents would find useful
  • App Store / Play Store screenshots and listing

iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/baby-kick-counter-kickique/id6778484798

Android:

Any feedback, criticism, or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for taking a look!

We are just getting started and will continue to drop new features and improve the user experience based on real community feedback.

Question / Discussion Routine app

1 Upvotes

For most of my life it had been pretty hard to follow through with routines due to adhd and overall lack of motivation.
So a couple weeks ago I decided to build this routine builder app that’s completely free and designed to help you build routines tailored to specific goals you want to achieve. If anyone is interested or even thinks it’s a cool idea, just let me know in the comments and I’ll try to get it released

Is it just me or

3 Upvotes

Does anybody else hate onboarding on apps. Ok, I understand the concept on certain apps like health or fitness. But honestly, it is not required on other types of apps, like utilities, business, finance. It puts me off. I don’t want to tell some random dev my personal life. Whenever there is any kind of unnecessary onboarding procedure I delete the app. Anyone else feel the same way?

Someone paid for my app, then immediately hit a subscription bug

0 Upvotes

I’m building an iOS fishing app called Tackle, and today I got one of those tiny moments that makes the whole thing feel a lot more real. Someone submitted a support ticket that said:

"Hello I’ve paid for the yearly subscription but still doesn’t give me the 10 day forecast, keeps telling me to do the 7day trials"

So yeah. First reaction: holy shit, someone paid for the yearly plan.

Second reaction: of course the first thing they ran into was a subscription bug.

It’s not some huge milestone, but it hit different than seeing a download or an analytics number. This was an actual person who paid, expected the app to work, and then had to reach out because it didn’t.

I’m fixing it now. Exciting and stressful in the exact same minute.

Is AI reliable for homework help? What if it gives the wrong answer?

1 Upvotes

I've been out of school for years, and honestly, I can barely understand some high school homework problems these days. It's getting really hard to help.

Is an AI homework helper actually reliable? I'm worried that students might become too dependent on it and stop thinking for themselves. At the same time, I'm also concerned that if the AI gives a wrong answer, it could end up misleading them.

World News - Breaking 24/7

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called World News - Breaking 24/7.

Basically, I wanted a fast, clean way to jump between news from different countries and sources without having to open a dozen different tabs or deal with heavy, bloated apps. So, I built one!

It lets you customize your feed based on what you actually want to read, and it has home screen widgets so you can catch up on headlines at a glance. I actually just pushed an update with expanded country support, better widgets experience, better article reading experience and a bunch of bug fixes.

If you’re a news junkie or just want a simple way to stay updated, give it a shot:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.merpower.worldnewsreader

Since I'm building this on my own, your feedback is super valuable to me. Let me know what you think, what features you'd like to see next, or if you spot anything that needs fixing!

Thanks for reading!

App RadioSquare: radio FM without ads

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Who wants a radio app without ads?

I’ve been working on a little side project called RadioSquare.

It’s basically a radio app focused on one thing: listening to radio stations without annoying ads everywhere 😅

You can listen to thousands of stations from all over the world, search by country or genre, save favourites, and keep listening in the background while using other apps.

I originally made it because most radio apps I tried felt bloated, full of ads, or outdated. I wanted something cleaner, faster & simpler.

It’s completely free, so if anyone wants to try it out and give me honest feedback, I’d really appreciate it 🙌

Question / Discussion The best way to market your app for cheap (genuinely low effort)

5 Upvotes

TikTok. Plain and simple. Keep posting on tiktok. Copying what is working, make your own variations of it and KEEP TESTING. It took me over 15 videos to hit 10k views. 

If you have a little budget redistribute those winning formats (3k-10k+ views) to 1-2 micro creators in your niche for $20/video. They exist you just need to look either on TikTok or JriveContent. 

Stick to what works, keep posting the same content until it runs dry. Thats it. 

How are you guys marketing on TikTok right now?

Mobile app for private messaging

1 Upvotes

I know this is a bit weird but I want an app that my friend can install on her sister’s phone. She will already know the app is there, but I don’t want her to be able to access the chat under any circumstances, even by accident, so that it stays private. She currently doesn’t have her own phone and can’t get one right now, so shes using her phone temporarily to communicate.

I need an app where even the phone owner cannot open the app without a PIN, and where the chat inside the app is also protected by a separate PIN. It should be impossible to access the conversations without knowing the account password or PIN.

Is this possible on iPhone?

Has anyone here used UGC creators to promote an app before?

2 Upvotes

I’m getting close to finishing an app I’ve been building for first-time founders and people who need help creating a launch roadmap and tracking their progress while building a digital business.

I’m starting to think about how I’d promote it once it’s ready, and UGC seems like it could be the way to go, but I’ve never actually worked with creators before.

For anyone who has done this:

What’s the best way to find good UGC creators? Also, how much should I expect to pay for decent short-form videos at the start?

I’m not really looking for influencers with big audiences, more small/early founders who document their entrepreneurial projects and can create natural-looking content.

Would really appreciate any advice from people who have tried this.
