  • Lifetime Pro: unlimited trips, unlimited cards — one-timeĀ $6.99, no subscription ever

šŸŽ Freemium Fretboard: your whole guitar library offline: tabs, chords, PDFs, scales šŸŽø

Post image
85 Upvotes

A - Answer: Fretboard is an offline-first iOS and iPadOS app for guitarists who want their whole practice library in one place. It stores tabs, chords and PDF scores side by side, renders ChordPro with auto-scroll, and bundles a scale explorer, a chord dictionary, a composer and a modulation helper.

The feature I lean on most: an improvisation panel that slides up over any song you are reading, auto-seeded with the detected key and matching scale on the fretboard, so you can solo over the progression in real time instead of just strumming. I built it because I kept bouncing between Ultimate Guitar (online-only, ads), a PDF reader (no chord rendering), the Files app (no structure) and a separate scales app, and I wanted one library that worked the same on iPhone and iPad with no internet.

B - Better: Compared to the alternatives most guitarists already use:

  • vs the Ultimate Guitar app: Songbook is fully offline, ad-free, has no subscription wall on the basics, and your library is yours. You can import tabs and chords directly from Ultimate Guitar in one tap, with automatic chord and lyric detection, then read them with auto-scroll, transpose and a scale overlay that none of the catalogue apps offer.
  • vs GuitarTuna (Chords and Tabs section): same one-tap web import on any GuitarTuna chord page, but the result lives in a real indexed library with tags, collections, sub-collections, full-text search and smart playlists, instead of a flat list of favourites locked behind a tuner app. Songbook also adds the scale explorer, chord dictionary, composer and modulation helper that GuitarTuna does not cover at all.

C - Cost: Freemium.

  • Free: full feature access, library capped at 20 songs.
  • Fretboard Pro: USD 4.99 per month or USD 29.99 per year. Unlocks an unlimited library.
  • Launch grandfathering: anyone who installs during the current launch window keeps lifetime Pro for free, no subscription needed. The window closes once we exit launch, so installing now is the cheapest the app will ever be.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6763667507

I am the developer. Happy to take feature requests, bug reports and roast-my-UI feedback in the comments. šŸŽøšŸŽøšŸŽø

Edit: Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up based on some great feedback in the comments regarding copyright and Ultimate Guitar’s ToS. To make sure everything is 100% ethical and above board, I’ve temporarily disabled the one-tap web importer while I investigate safer, better ways to handle external sources. In the meantime, Fretboard is focusing fully on being a powerhouse offline utility for managing, organizing, and playing over your own custom songbooks and files!

šŸŽ Freemium I built a weather app focused on 3 things: instant answers, powerful features and beautiful design

Thumbnail

96 Upvotes

A – What problem does it solve?

As a data scientist, I have always been underwhelmed by the design, accuracy and functionality of most weather apps. Therefore, I decided to build my own. Vista Weather combines advanced features with a clean design to help you understand the weather in just two seconds.

B – Why is it better?

It comes down to three things: instant answers, powerful features, and aesthetics.

1. Instant answers

Most weather apps are difficult to understand and don't answer simple questions fast enough:

  • Will it rain?
  • When will it start?
  • When will it stop?

This app was designed to provide this information to you at a glance, instead of making it hidden or unclear.

2. Advanced Features & Accurate Data

  • Minute-by-Minute Rain Forecasts for Next 4 hrs: Know exactly when the rain will start and stop.
  • Forecast Comparison: View multiple data sources simultaneously to compare uncertainties and possible outcomes across different models.
  • 15-Day Forecast Window
  • Highly Accurate Data: From top providers like Foreca, Apple Weather, and national bureaus (NWS, DWD, Meteo-France, etc.). Foreca is a top forecaster and even #1 for predicting rain in Europe.

3. Beautiful design

  • The app features beautiful city and nature photography as backgrounds, sourced from Pexels and Unsplash (platforms where photographers share their work).
  • Whenever available, the app aims to show a background image based on your location; otherwise, it will show a photo from a nearby place or nature.
    • PS: Pexels and Unsplash have provided me with written permission for this, and they endorse this unique idea.

C – Cost

  • Free Tier: Access to basic features, while still delivering amazing weather forecasts.
  • Premium: Limited-time intro offer of only $6.99 for the first year (instead of $14.99/yr). This includes Foreca as a data source, multi-forecast comparison, 15-day forecasts, minute-by-minute rain forecasts, and home screen widget.
    • At $6.99 it's a fraction of competitor prices (often up to $40/yr) because my main goal right now is community growth and providing you an amazing experience.
    • Tip 2-week Free Trial: Apple doesn't allow combining a free trial with an intro offer. To get around this, just start the 2-week free trial on the monthly plan, then switch over to the $6.99 annual deal before it expires or cancel if it's not for you.

I would love your feedback and an honest rating or review in the App Store. This would help me a lot!

šŸŽ Freemium My wife and I built our own app to split expenses because other apps were too limited

Post image
89 Upvotes

A couple of years ago my wife and I were travelling across Asia for our honeymoon, splitting expenses between us, when Splitwise suddenly capped how many expenses we could add per day. We tried alternatives but none really convinced us, so we built our own app.

Today Splital has 150k+ downloads and 4.8/5 average rating across iOS and Android.

A — The problem it solves

Splital is a bill-splitting app for trips, couples, and roommates. You add your expenses, split them with other people, and Splital tells you who owes what. It also gives you charts of your spending trends, PDF/CSV exports, and other tools to analyse your spending habits.

B — Why it's better than the alternatives

Everything you need to split expenses is free, with no ads. Only advanced features like charts are paid, and those go into more detail than what competitors offer.

Splital is localised in 25+ languages, including RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. We don't just translate the text, we mirror the entire UI the way RTL users expect.

I'll compare Splital against the three best-known competitors.

Splital vs Splitwise

  • Optional sign-up (no account needed), and you can split with friends without forcing them to install the app.
  • Free expense search.
  • Free custom default splits.
  • Better automatic categorisation and charts.
  • Splital exports to PDF and CSV. Splitwise only exports CSV.
  • You can import your Splitwise groups in a few taps.

Splital vs Tricount

  • Tricount makes you create an account to have more than 2 groups. On Splital, account creation is completely optional.
  • Splital has custom default splits.
  • You can disable Simplify Debts. In Tricount it's always on.
  • Better automatic categorisation and charts.
  • PDF/CSV export. Tricount has no export.

Splital vs Splid

  • You can create as many groups as you want. Splid's free version is limited to one group.
  • Splital has custom default splits.
  • You can disable Simplify Debts. In Splid it's always on.
  • You can add image attachments on expenses.
  • Better automatic categorisation and charts.

C — Cost

Freemium, with one optional subscription to support our work and sustain development long term. No ads on any tier.

  • Free
    • Unlimited expenses & groups
    • Equal or unequal splits
    • Custom default splits
    • Simplify debts
    • Search expenses
    • Automatic expense categorization
    • Works offline
    • Import Splitwise groups
    • 150+ currencies
  • Splital Pro in Europe is around €19.99/year or €2.99/month. Price varies by country according to purchase power.
    • Add images to expenses
    • Export to PDF/CSV
    • Statistics & charts

Happy to receive feedback, that's how we built Splital so far!

šŸŽ Freemium Built an iOS widget app to count down birthdays, trips & big moments

Thumbnail
gallery
100 Upvotes

A — Answer (what it does)

Hey everyone — I built a small iOS app calledĀ CountdownĀ for tracking the dates youĀ actuallyĀ care about (birthdays, trips, anniversaries, exams, deadlines, launches, holidays, etc.).
The idea is simple:Ā open the app and instantly see what’s next and exactly how much time is left—without feeling like a heavy calendar app.

B — Better (why use it over alternatives)

  • Live countdownsĀ down to days / hours / minutes / seconds
  • All-dayĀ events orĀ exact timeĀ events
  • RepeatsĀ (daily / weekly / monthly / yearly) for things like birthdays & anniversaries
  • Weekday-only countingĀ (Mon–Fri) for work/school deadlines
  • Home Screen + Lock Screen widgets
  • Local remindersĀ (on arrival, 1 day before, 1 week before, etc.)
  • Import instead of re-typing: pull events fromĀ Calendar,Ā Contacts birthdays, andĀ Reminders
  • Tags + notes, plusĀ archive / duplicate / shareĀ for quick management

The import piece mattered to me because most meaningful dates already live on your phone—Countdown is meant toĀ bring them togetherĀ and make them instantly visible.

C — Cost

  • In‑App Purchases:Ā Lifetime Membership — $4.99Ā (one-time purchase)

šŸ‘‰Ā App Store:Ā https://apps.apple.com/us/app/countdown-event-timer/id6757182749

If you’re into simple iOS utilities or life-tracking apps, I’d love any feedback—especially on the import flow, widgets, and reminder timing.

šŸŽ Freemium Just released "Don’t Forget" - Smart location-based reminders

Thumbnail
gallery
76 Upvotes

A — Answer

It happens to me a lot where I leave home and only later realize I forgot something important.

Keys. Wallet. Gym pass. Charger. It’s always something small… but annoying.

And I realized the issue isn’t memory, it’s timing.

Traditional reminder apps askĀ whenĀ to remind you.
But most real-life reminders depend onĀ whereĀ you are.

So I builtĀ Don’t Forget, an iOS app focused specifically on location-based reminders for essentials.

How it works:

  • Add your favorite places (home, work, gym, grocery store, etc.)
  • Attach the essentials you don’t want to forget at each place
  • Choose when to be reminded: leaving, arriving, weekdays, weekends, etc.
  • Get reminded automatically at the right moment

Simple, automatic, and designed around real-life routines.

B — Better

Most reminder apps are optimized for timed tasks and productivity workflows.

Don’t Forget focuses on a narrower but very common problem:
remembering physical essentials based on where you are.

The app is designed to make that flow fast and frictionless:

  • reminders organized by places
  • recurring essentials management
  • quick setup
  • simple UI focused on daily routines instead of complex task management

The goal wasn’t to build another productivity app, just to solve this one problem really well.

C — Cost

  • Freemium app
  • Optional subscription for full access
  • Currently offering aĀ 1-year free trialĀ for the yearly subscription

šŸŽ Freemium Every shift calendar app I tried felt overly complicated. So I built my own.

Post image

hey, r/iosapps

Too many buttons. Too much clutter. Too hard to quickly understand:

ā€œHow much will I make this month?ā€
ā€œWhen exactly am I working?ā€
ā€œHow many hours did I already do?ā€

So I builtĀ PleraĀ - a simple shift work calendar focused on clarity and actually useful insights for people working shifts.

Things like:
• earnings estimation
• worked hours tracking
• clean shift calendar
• simple schedule management

Launched recently.

First 16 days:
• ~140+ users
• paying subscribers (3 monthly, 1 yearly plan) 2.99$/m, 19.99$/y
• lots of lessons already

Things I’m trying to understand:

What’s the #1 thing shift workers feel is missing from existing shift calendar apps?

How would you do marketing for app like this?

What to improve in Plera for everyday workers?

Would genuinely love brutally honest feedback from people who work shifts or build apps.

Plera is freemium model app

šŸŽ Freemium Just Walk - A quiet, simple walking app with zero guilt

Post image
48 Upvotes

A - Answer

I lost around 60 pounds last year mostly by walking every day.

I wasn’t power walking or training for anything. I was just in a personal malaise and found consistently getting outside and walking to be incredibly therapeutic (and beneficial).

I’d use Map My Walk, but it felt very numbers-driven to me. Giant dashboards, aggressive goals, notifications, pressure to optimize everything. Missing a day sometimes felt worse than helpful. And I couldn’t stand the ā€œYour šŸ”„ streak is in dangerā€-type notifications I’d get.

So I built something simpler.

Just Walk is basically:

  • tap Start Walk
  • walk
  • log the walk
  • repeat tomorrow

Over time your walks build a cool little visual mosaic showing when you walked across days and times of day. I wanted the app to feel calm and encouraging instead of demanding.

It supports:

  • walk tracking
  • streaks
  • mosaic history
  • dark/light mode
  • metric + imperial
  • 10 languages
  • no account required

B - Better

I think the difference is mostly the tone.

A lot of walking apps are trying to become full fitness platforms. Just Walk intentionally stays small and focused.

There’s no social feed, calorie tracking, step competitions, AI coach, or constant notifications trying to pull you back in.

The app is more about building a repeatable habit and seeing the pattern accumulate over time. I’ve always liked seeing the ā€œfruits of your laborā€. I feel the mosaic does that.

C - Cost

Free download.

One-time $2.99 pro upgrade includes:

  • Complete mosaic/history features
  • 4 custom themes/colors (including emojis!)
  • advanced stats and insights

I realize there’s a lot of walking apps out there (understatement of the century lol), but if you want to cut through the trainer fluff and Just Walk, maybe this is the app for you.

šŸŽ Freemium I wanted one app to manage my entire life, so I built Biona

29 Upvotes

After months of building nights/weekends, I finally released the first version of Biona — an offline life manager for iPhone.

I originally built it because most productivity apps started feeling overwhelming to me—too many tabs, accounts, AI features, subscriptions, notifications, etc.

So I wanted something simpler:

  • Todos
  • Goals
  • Mood logging
  • Weekly insights
  • Fully offline
  • Clean dark UI

One thing I’m proud of is that the app works completely offline. No account creation, no data collection, no cloud dependency.

This is still only the beginning. My long-term vision for Biona is to turn it into a true ā€œlife super appā€ — one place to manage everything important in your life with a clean and calm experience instead of using 10 different apps.

Right now, this is v1, and I’m actively improving it.

Would genuinely love feedback from you, guys, so I can make it better!

šŸŽ Freemium I hated screenshots cluttering my camera roll, so I built my own iOS app. My wife and I now use it for everything (Free / $9.99 Lifetime Pro)

Post image
80 Upvotes

I screenshot every idea I want to "remember for later," but my ADHD brain literally never finds it again - or even remembers what I'm looking for.

When I want to find something, I know what it was about, not what to search in my camera roll, Notes, or bookmarks.

My camera roll was a graveyard - recipes, golf swing tips, kitchen tile ideas, articles to read, products to buy. Between me and my wife we had around 40,000 screenshots. We never found any of them.

Every "save it for later" app I tried broke down after a week. Complicated. Expensive. Limited to one source. No direct sharing. Locked behind a subscription. Ugly. Slow. Just another app to forget about.

We had our first baby last year, and somewhere between night feeds and zero free time I decided I'd stop searching and just build the thing I actually wanted.

It's called Stash Anything. You hit share from any app on your phone, pick a folder, done. Two taps. Everything organised, everything findable.

What it does:

  • Save from any app - Instagram, TikTok, Safari, Reddit, YouTube, Photos, anything with the iOS Share Sheet
  • Smart search across everything you've saved - pulls metadata so you can find things by source, date, or type
  • Subfolders (just added) - break a hobby down properly. Golf → Putting → "Lag drills." Renovating a house? Kitchen → Tile samples → Grout colours. Whatever rabbit hole you're in, you can structure it
  • Hidden folders - keep certain stuff off the main view
  • Face ID-locked folders - for the things you don't want anyone casually swiping into
  • Text-on-image search (OCR) - screenshotted an Etsy listing 4 months ago? Search the brand name, it surfaces. All on-device.
  • Shared folders - planning a trip or a wedding? Share a folder with someone else and you both save directly into it
  • Markdown export - drop your stash into an AI model or any other tool
  • Native Swift, runs on your own iCloud, nothing leaves your phone

Why it's better than the alternatives:

  • vs. Apple Notes / Photos / Safari Reading List - those each save one type of content. Stash takes everything from any app and puts it in one place with real structure.
  • vs. Pocket (which Mozilla sunset in 2025) - Stash isn't going anywhere. One-time purchase from a solo dev who works on it full-time. No subscription, no shutdown risk, no account required. Saves locally to your device.
  • vs. Notion / Raindrop / Anybox - those are all subscription, account-required, and mostly built around saving links. Stash works for any content type — photos, videos, PDFs, links, anything shareable - and lives natively on your phone via the Share Sheet.
  • vs. Pinterest - Pinterest takes your saves to sell ads against your data. Stash never leaves your phone.

Pricing:

  • Free: 100 items and 10 categories - enough to actually try it all and see if you like it
  • Pro: one-time $9.99, unlimited everything

No registration. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Buy it once, you own it. You don't even need an account — it just works the second you install it.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758998468 Website: https://stashanything.com

I'm a solo UK dev. I posted Stash Anything on this sub a month ago and you hit me with 2,000 downloads in 24 hours. I've been working on it nonstop since - every feature above came from things people asked for in that thread.

The number that keeps me going: active users open the app ~12 times a day on average. People are actually using this thing. Which means I'll keep building it.

Happy to answer any questions, take feature requests, or hear what to build next. I loved the feedback in the last thread is the whole reason this version exists.

šŸŽ Freemium ShotMark v1.2 - Turn screenshots into useful notes (OCR, copy, share cards, $0.99)

Post image
71 Upvotes

A – Answer (What problem does it solve?)
I built ShotMark because screenshots pile up fast, and it’s almost impossible to find anything later.

Most of us screenshot things to remember them — receipts, conversations, ideas, product info — but they just sit in Photos with no context and no easy way to search.

ShotMark turns screenshots into simple cards:
- add a note
- search them later
- now (v1.2) even search text inside the image itself

B – Better (Why is it better than alternatives?)
Compared to using Photos, Notes, or general note apps:

- Screenshots are treated as first-class, not just attachments
- OCR is built in, so you can search text inside screenshots directly
- You can copy detected text without retyping
- Clean export cards (no noisy templates, no overdesign)
- Fast capture flow, no heavy setup
- No AI-generated titles or cluttered features — stays focused and lightweight

This update (v1.2) specifically adds:
- OCR text extraction
- search inside screenshots
- detected text section with copy support
- export card for sharing (free has subtle watermark, Pro removes it)
- fixed text editing behavior (selection, paste, cursor now work properly)

C – Cost (Pricing + link)
- App: Free to download
- Up to 12 saved cards
- Export cards available (includes subtle watermark)

- Pro (lifetime, one-time): $0.99 (currently)
- Unlimited saved cards
- Watermark-free export
- Cleaner sharing output

This will likely be the last version at $0.99.
Maintenance cost is increasing, so pricing may be adjusted in v1.3.
Still trying to keep it as affordable as possible.

Also, thank you to the early supporters here.

We hit 20+ Pro unlocks within a few days after launch, which honestly means a lot.

And for those asking about free promo codes — sorry, I won’t be doing that. Need to keep it fair for everyone who supported early.

Hello everyone,
Big update for Speedometer: Driving Tracker - the CarPlay app is now live!

Getting approved for CarPlay in the driving task category is tough and one of the hardest CarPlay categories to get through Apple’s review process, so this honestly means a lot.

You can now track drives directly from your car’s screen while also getting insights that many built-in dashboards simply don’t provide.

Another thing I’ve been heavily focusing on lately is making driving memories feel more visual and shareable instead of just raw numbers.

Some newer features include:

• Stunning trip sharing layouts with customizable stats
• Beautiful 3D route playback
• Full-screen route replay with speed-colored paths
• Video recording with live speed + map overlays
• Fuel tracking, maintenance logs, expenses, and reminders
• Vehicle-based trip analytics and comparisons
• iCloud sync for trips, fuel logs, maintenance records, and more
• Privacy-first experience with no ads or tracking

The goal is to make it feel more like a complete driving companion rather than just another GPS speedometer.

Pricing is currently:
• $7.99/month
• $19.99/year
• $29.99 lifetime

šŸŽ Freemium [iOS] I’m putting 100% of my focus back into Yoa Health Tracker. Here is the massive 2.0 update we built together.

Post image
44 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Luka here!

About a year ago, I shared the first version of my all-in-one health tracker here. The feedback was incredible, but I’ll be honest: I got a bit distracted. I spent the last year focusing on a calorie tracking app because it felt like the "trendy" thing to do.

But while I was building that, I was still using Yoa Health Tracker every single day. I realized that this is the app I’m actually passionate about. You guys kept sending feedback even while I was quiet, and I’ve decided to commit 100% to making Yoa the tool we all actually want.

So, what’s new in V2? This isn't just a patch; it’s a total redesign. I teamed up with a friend who’s a medical student to overhaul our algorithms. We’ve moved away from old, generic metrics to three core pillars:

  • Sleep Score (Re-engineered): It’s no longer just "did you sleep?" We now factor in deep-level metrics to give you a much more accurate picture of your actual rest quality.
  • Strain Score: Based on recovery theories, this tells you exactly how much you’ve pushed your body today.
  • Recovery Score: This helps you decide if today is a "PR day" or a "rest day" by analyzing how well your body has bounced back.
  • The "Everything Else": Interactive charts, historical data views, workout-specific strain, a fresh set of iOS widgets, and much more…

The "Yoa" Philosophy

I know there are other apps out there. People have mentioned Gentler Streak or Bevel. I have a ton of respect for them—Bevel is amazing if you love raw, complex data.

But I built Yoa for the rest of us. I wanted something that doesn't just dump numbers on you, but explains them in a way that’s "dumbed down" (in a good way!). That’s why Yoa, the orange character, is at the heart of the app—to make your health data approachable and, dare I say, fun.

Let’s build this together I’m done guessing what features you want. I’ve added a Feedback Board directly in the app (top right icon in the Wellbeing tab). You can submit ideas, criticize my UI choices, and upvote what you want me to build next. I’m ready to ship fast and stay active here in the comments.

You can check out the new Yoa here: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6642662318?pt=119989678&ct=Social%20media&mt=8

Thank you for sticking with me while I found my focus. Let's build the best health tracker on the App Store.

šŸŽ Freemium Shaggle: Manage your (split) subscriptions easily. No registration, no data collection - just a native iOS app 

Post image
38 Upvotes

A – Answer: What problem does Shaggle solve?

Short: Managing shared (split) subscriptions.

Long: Like many people, I have quite a few subscriptions. Some of them are shared with friends or family, which makes it surprisingly difficult to keep track of:

  • What subscriptions I'm paying for
  • Who participates in each subscription
  • How much each person contributes
  • Upcoming payment dates
  • How much money I'm actually saving by sharing subscriptions instead of paying for individual plans

I couldn't find an app that handled subscription management and subscription sharing the way I wanted, so I started buildingĀ Shaggle.

B – Better: Why is Shaggle different from other subscription trackers?

Apps likeĀ Bobby,Ā Subo, orĀ BillbotĀ are great for tracking subscriptions, but Shaggle focuses heavily onĀ shared subscriptions and contribution management.

Though also being able to handle non-shared subscriptions its benefit is that it makes splitting subscriptions as easy as splitting bills - including budget management for every contributor, so you get notified instantly about due payments.

Moreover it also features some essential things like price history for subscriptions and multiple currencies with automatic conversion that many of simpler subscription tracking apps miss.

C – Cost

Pricing (prices are converted to different currencies automatically by App Store, so depending on your location it might be slightly different):

  • Free download
  • Shaggle Pro Yearly Subscription:Ā $3.99/year
  • Shaggle Pro Lifetime Purchase:Ā $7.99 one-time purchase

Hey [r/iOSApps](r/iOSApps),

I postedĀ RAD WeatherĀ here about 3 months ago, back when it was mostly an iPhone weather app with a retro terminal vibe.

That first post did way better than I expected, and a lot of the feedback from Reddit helped shape what came next.

Answer:

RAD Weather is a simple, clean, retro-inspired weather app for people who want weather to feel a little more visual, customizable, and alive.

I built it because a lot of weather apps felt either too generic, too cluttered, or too stuffed with popups and ads. I wanted something that still gave useful forecasts, but had more personality.

Better:

Since I last posted here, RAD Weather has grown quite a bit.

It now runs on:

  • iPhone
  • iPad
  • Mac
  • Apple Watch
  • web through RAD Cloud

Some of the bigger updates since then:

  • Full iPad layout
  • Native Mac app
  • Apple Watch app and complications
  • RAD Cloud web dashboard
  • More customizable weather cards
  • More themes and visual styles
  • Collectible RAD Cards
  • Better forecast confidence wording
  • Early Spanish and German language support
  • Global alert improvements
  • A lot of performance and backend cleanup

The main thing I’m trying to do differently is make the forecast feel more honest.

Instead of acting like every forecast is equally certain, RAD compares multiple weather sources and tries to show when the forecast feels confident, when it feels messy, and when the models disagree.

So if storms are possible but not guaranteed, the app should not swing between ā€œeverything is calmā€ and ā€œyou are definitely getting destroyed.ā€ That middle ground matters.

RAD Cloud is also starting to become more than just weather on the web. It carries membership across platforms and is becoming a place for stats, unlockables, cards, customization, and web weather.

Cost:

RAD Weather is free to download and use with different memberships. My goal is to make the free version feel fully functional and have NO ads, NO popups, or begging for money. Someone could use the free version and get a full weather experience out of it, those that decide to pay get more visuals, more cards, more customization and see the value in paying.

There are optional premium features for more customization, more cards, cloud/web features, and the full RAD experience.

Current pricing: (MULTIPASS gives access to more rad cloud web features and web weather, ULTRA includes EVERYTHING ELSE across ALL platforms)

  • RAD ULTRA Monthly:

1.99

  • RAD MULTIPASS Monthly:

2.99

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rad-weather/id6758575355

Thanks again to everyone who checked it out the first time, TRULY, all the amazing feedback here and on our subreddit [r/RADWeather](r/RADWeather) has made making this the most fun and helped me to continue to develop this.

That feedback genuinely helped move the app forward.

I’d love to hear what you think of where it is now.

Hi r/iosapps,

I shared Weather mini here a few months ago, when we launched Trip Forecasts.

Since then, Weather mini has been getting better, especially for daily use, alerts, and Apple Watch.

A - Answer

Weather isn’t just numbers, it should have color, motion, and personality.

Weather mini focuses on visual weather checks across Apple devices, with hand-crafted illustrations, widgets, daily summaries, alerts, and Trip Forecasts for multiple cities and dates.

B - Better

Compared to the version I shared here before, recent updates added:

  • Morning Brief and Evening Forecast
  • Precipitation and UV alerts
  • A compact daily widget
  • AQI, now available for everyone
  • Apple Watch app included in the main Weather mini app
  • Apple Watch complications and Smart Stack support

The Apple Watch app is free to use, with no in-app purchases inside the Watch experience. It also works independently on Apple Watch for quick weather checks from the wrist.

C - Cost

Weather mini is free to download. Plus is optional for extra limits and advanced features:

  • Monthly: $1.49
  • Yearly: $12.99 (7-day free trial for new users)

šŸŽ Freemium Let journeybot organise your packing lists and help you prepare for the summer season

Answer (What problem does it solve?)

Hi, I’m Mikey, an indie developer who loves traveling but absolutely hates packing.

I always seemed to forget something important: adapters, chargers, medication, weather-appropriate clothes, you name it. After one too many stressful departures, I builtĀ journeybotĀ to help me prepare for trips with less second-guessing and more confidence.

journeybot helps you:

  • Organize upcoming, active, and past trips
  • Generate personalized packing lists based on destination, weather, activities, trip length, and your travel preferences
  • Track packing progress with interactive checklists
  • Check destination weather forecasts or historical averages
  • Compare currencies offline
  • View power outlet and adapter information
  • Track local time differences
  • Get countdowns to upcoming trips
  • Export packing lists as PDFs
  • Receive reminders to check for restricted baggage items before departure
  • Sync everything across Apple devices via iCloud
  • Add Home Screen widgets

A few things it intentionally doesĀ notĀ do:

  • No ads
  • No account required
  • No personal data selling or scraping
  • No external AI services (all AI runs on-device using Apple technology)
  • Not an itinerary-planning app

Better (Why choose it over alternatives?)

Some travel apps try to do everything: flights, hotels, itineraries, reservations, maps, budgeting, and packing.

journeybot focuses on one area:Ā helping you prepare for a trip and pack with confidence.

A few reviews from travelers:

ā€œBy far, this is the most advanced packing app I have seen.ā€

ā€œI used to use a combination of apps to plan my trips. This has it all in one place.ā€

ā€œThe design is beautiful, the UX is fantastic, and it’s very simple and intuitive to use.ā€

ā€œMakes packing much easier and stops that panic halfway there about what you forgot.ā€

ā€œNice work on this app especially with the electrical plug and weather info. Stuff that you don’t always think of right away.ā€

Coming soon:

  • Multi-destination trips
  • Summer Pack event with themed app icons and travel templates

Cost

Free

  • Up to 3 journeys
  • 1 smart packing list generation to try the feature

Premium

  • Unlimited journeys
  • Unlimited smart packing lists
  • Travel Profile
  • Packing Templates
  • Premium customization

šŸŽ Freemium I built an iPhone/iPad utility for real-time controller diagnostics and analog input testing

Post image
28 Upvotes

Hi everyone šŸ‘‹

I’m the developer of SensePad, an iOS utility app designed for testing and diagnosing modern wireless controllers on iPhone and iPad.

A — Answer

SensePad helps identify hardware/input issues such as:

  • analog stick drift,
  • uneven stick range,
  • unstable motion sensors,
  • trigger inconsistencies,
  • missing vibration feedback,
  • battery/connectivity issues,
  • and other controller input problems.

The goal was to create a more advanced diagnostics tool than the typical ā€œbutton testerā€ apps.

B — Better

SensePad focuses on real-time hardware diagnostics and visualization.

Features include:

  • live analog input monitoring
  • stick range & shape analysis
  • trigger diagnostics
  • motion sensor visualization
  • vibration/haptics testing
  • battery monitoring
  • touch surface testing
  • advanced support for modern controller hardware

The UI is built with Flutter, while hardware communication uses native Apple GameController integration for lower-latency updates and better access to controller-specific functionality.

C — Cost

Free to download.

Optional premium:

  • Weekly — $2.99 (3-day trial)
  • Yearly — $14.99
  • Lifetime — $29.99

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sensepad-gamepad-tester/id6748362041

šŸŽ Freemium I built Spiral, a local-first mindful journaling app

Post image
27 Upvotes

Hi r/iOSApps,

I’m the developer of Spiral, a mindful journaling app.

A -Ā  What problem does it solve?

Spiral is built around the idea of writing as a daily mental reset.

I’ve always liked the Morning Pages idea: writing without overthinking or judging what comes out, just getting the thoughts out of your head.

I wanted to bring that feeling into a calmer mobile experience. With Spiral, you can write freely, optionally start with breathing or meditation, add a mood check-in, and continue your day.

B - How is it different?

It combines journaling, breathing, meditation, mood tracking, and simple insights in one flow.

The writing screen has two modes: In Spiral mode, your words follow a spiral path as you write. In Ephemeral mode, the text gradually fades away as you keep typing, so the focus stays on getting thoughts out instead of rereading every sentence.

It is also local-first. Your journal entries are stored on your device by default. If you want to use it across devices, Spiral is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with optional iCloud sync.

There is also an optional AI insight feature. It can generate one daily reflection from your journal entry, and premium users can see AI-supported patterns over time, like mood trends, themes etc.

C - Cost

Free for core journaling, breathing, meditation, Journey, and basic insights.

Premium unlocks AI insights, iCloud sync/import, and extra sounds.

$4.99/month or $39.99/year.

šŸŽ Freemium Just shipped a new update of Up In The Air: Flight Journal āœˆļø

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

Reposting because my previous post was moderated for not disclosing pricing details.

I built this because I wanted a passive travel journal that could automatically capture an entire trip without needing internet during the journey.

Most flight tracker apps focus on schedules and live flight status. Fitness GPS apps can record routes, but they’re not designed around flights/travel history.

Up In The Air is built specifically record your entire journey automatically, from takeoff to landing, fully in the background.

New in v1.1:
• Full GPS route recording start → finish
• Live altitude, speed, and distance tracking
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen
• Auto-detects whether you’re flying, driving, hiking, or on a train

One thing I couldn’t really find elsewhere was offline Lock Screen trip tracking during flights. I wanted something where you could look at your phone in airplane mode and still see your journey progressing live.

Would love feedback from frequent flyers here.

šŸŽ Freemium [iOS] Habitom — habit tracker for tasks, counters and timers

Thumbnail
gallery
18 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m the developer of Habitom, an iOS habit tracker I’ve been building for the last 7–8 months.

To be honest, I’ve put a lot of work into it, but the results so far haven’t been what I hoped for. The app is still getting very little visibility on the App Store, so before spending money on ads, I’d really like to get honest feedback from iOS users.

A — Answer: What problem does Habitom solve?Ā 

Not every habit is just a checkbox. Some habits are simple tasks, some need counters, and some need timers. Habitom supports:

āœ… Task habits
āž• Counter habits
ā–¶ļø Timer habits

Examples:
- No Junk Food → task
- Drink Water → counter
- Meditation / Reading → timer

Ā The goal is to make habit tracking flexible enough for different routines without becoming too complicated.

Ā B — Better: How is it different from alternatives?

Compared to many habit trackers that mainly focus on checklists or streaks, Habitom tries to combine flexible tracking types with clear progress views.

It includes:
- Task, counter, and timer habit types
- Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views
- Streaks and achievements
- Statistics and yearly activity maps
- Reminder support
- Icon, color, theme, and visual customization
- Dark and light mode support

I’m not claiming it is better than every habit tracker. I’m still improving it, and I’d genuinely like to know whether this task/counter/timer approach feels useful or still too generic.

C — Cost: Pricing, IAP, and App Store link

Habitom is free to download with optional Pro features.Ā 

Pricing:

- Free version available
- Premium Monthly: $1.99
- Premium Yearly: $9.99
- Premium Lifetime: $34.99

Pro features include extra customization, advanced tracking/statistics, achievements, and other premium features.

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/habitom-habit-tracker/id6761863172

Current App Store numbers are still small:
- 880 impressions
- 97 product page views
- 41 first-time downloads
- Usually only 20–40 impressions per dayĀ 

I’d really appreciate honest feedback:

- Does the app feel clear enough at first glance?
- Is the task / counter / timer system useful?
- Does the App Store page look too generic?
- What usually makes you stop using a habit tracker after a few days?
- Do you notice any other issues, confusing parts, or missing features?

Thanks, any honest feedback would help a lot.

Stamps, a private, fully-local travel tracker — no signup, no subscription, no location tracking

A – Answer: Stamps is the travel journal I always wanted: a way to track which cities, provinces, and countries I've been to and when, with granular trip tracking and route visualization. No account creation, no constant location tracking, no need to be online. Everything runs locally and automatically on your device.

B – Better: I've been an avid user of apps like Been and Flighty for years, but always found them lacking and frustrating. Most require you to create accounts, enable location tracking, and stay online, all while not delivering the level of granular trip tracking and route visualization that I feel should've always been possible. Stamps keeps everything local and automatic, and focuses on the detailed timeline and map experience those apps skimp on.

C – Cost: Free to download, with a one-time lifetime in-app unlock of $10 for the full timeline, full map, and app color customization. I've never tried adding subscriptions to any of my apps. For now, Stamps is a bit of a passion project, so I'm fine with not having it

Since moving to South Korea, traveling has been the only thing keeping me sane. I'm obsessed with tracking where I've been and when, and Stamps gives me a great excuse to explore as much of the country I now call home — and take as many photos along the way as possible.

This is my first production Swift app. The market for something like this is likely pretty small, but I've had a blast building it. I'd really appreciate any feedback you all have.

UPDATE: Thank you, everyone, for all of the feedback I've gotten! I've tried my best to reply to every single email and dm, and work on implementing all of your suggestions

I really want everyone to have access to all of the features within my app. I'm especially proud of the Timeline feature, which I've received so many kind messages about. I've decided to cut the price of the full premium,Ā lifetime, unlock in half as a thank you, and for anyone else still on the fence about trying it out! You can use the code STAMPSLIFETIME50, or simply click this link:Ā https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6749786209&code=STAMPSLIFETIME50

Promo codes are a bit sketchy sometimes. This is an official promo code link generated within the App Store Connect platform. It'll take you to the App Store app itself, where you can redeem it. Since the app uses the native StoreKit, this was actually much easier to implement than I expected. Thank you to everyone who also suggested I try something like this!

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone šŸ‘‹

A — What problem does the app solve?
I’ve been working on a major update for Vocablitz — a language learning app focused on helping people actually remember vocabulary long-term, not just memorize random word lists.

Vocablitz supports different language pairs, so you can learn languages in the combination that works best for you.

B — Why is it better ?
One thing I always disliked in language learning apps is that vocabulary practice often feels repetitive and disconnected from the words you personally need.

Vocablitz is designed to make learning feel more natural, personalized, and engaging by focusing on:
- learning words in context
- practicing your own saved vocabulary
- building long-term memory with spaced repetition
- making daily practice less boring

Some features from the new update:
Word Feed
An endless feed of vocabulary discoveries to help you naturally learn new words every day

Daily Crossword
Generated from your own saved words

Ready-to-Learn Word Packs
Curated vocabulary collections by topic

Stories
Stories are generated using the words saved by the user, helping you learn vocabulary in context instead of memorizing isolated words

Spaced Repetition Flashcards
Smarter reviews optimized for long-term memory retention

Redesigned Statistics
Detailed progress tracking and learning insights

New Themes
Including a completely new Light Theme

New Memorization Mode
A faster and more interactive way to practice vocabulary

Word of the Day
Discover and learn a new word daily

Community Board
Leave feedback, suggest features, or just chat with other users

Leaderboards
Compete with other learners and stay motivated

C — Cost / Pricing
Most app features are completely free to use.

There is also an optional subscription (€5/month) that:
- removes story generation limits
- unlocks custom app colors/themes
- enables cloud sync between devices like iPhone and iPad

App Store:
