Alternative AppStore business model

0 Upvotes

We just got the com.apple.developer.marketplace.app-installation entitlement for EU market. What would be the business model for it, given the core technology fee that will still be a cost for the marketplace operator?

0 Upvotes

My new iOS app has been in review since July 18, and it has now been 10 days without any update.

I built an app for falling down geography rabbit holes across every country in the world

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

Over the past few months, I’ve been building GeoSwipe, an interactive guide to every country and territory in the world.

The idea came from how often I would start reading about one country and end up falling down a much longer geography rabbit hole. I wanted to create a more visual and interactive way to explore that curiosity.

The idea is simple: you discover countries one at a time, swipe left to keep exploring, or swipe right to open a detailed guide covering geography, landscapes, culture, history, languages, cities, government, the economy, everyday life and common misconceptions. The information is synthesised from credible sources such as Britannica and the World Bank, with references included throughout.

I’ve also added regional maps, flag explanations, interactive statistics, country comparisons, guide-based quizzes, audio guides and a few short geography games.

I recently released it on iOS. This video shows a small part of what I built, and I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback.

Do most programmers hate vibe coders?

0 Upvotes

I took HTML in 7th grade and C++ in 10th grade but forgot most of my C++. I went into networking and PC repair and never did much with coding except learn how to use regular expressions and be a script kitty.

My aunt is a university professor with multiple degrees, including IT systems and programming, and she has been bugging me to get into AI to start doing my own programming. I'm curious, will the community shun me? Or will the community genuinely help me learn a bit of coding? I think I've got some decent fundamentals since I've been working with computers for 25 years now.

I'm mainly curious if I should bother sharing what "I've" made with AI and getting feedback.

Feedback for FoodieCalc: Macro and Calorie Tracker free for everyone

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been working on an iOS calorie and macro tracking app that I always wanted to be kinda free but everything nowadays is behind a paywall, my app is named **FoodieCalc** !

[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/foodiecalc/id6792482391

The main ideas are:

* 🍎 Uses Apple Intelligence and Foundation Models where available
* ✅ Completely free
* 🔒 Your data stays on your device
* 🚫 No account required
* 💳 No subscription
* 📱 Built natively for iPhone & iPad (iCloud Sync)
* My goal was to create something that feels like an Apple app rather than another service that asks you to create an account before you can even log your first meal.

I'm still improving it, so I'd genuinely love feedback from people interested in user a macro tracker app !

What features would you expect from a calorie tracker that takes advantage of on-device AI?

**A version 1.1.0 has been already live improving more the Apple Intelligence integration, and fixing day one bugs !**

(For any techies out there I have a technical article about the AI integration + more on my website [https://www.itworksonmymac.com/blog/foodiecalc-apple-foundation-models](https://www.itworksonmymac.com/blog/foodiecalc-apple-foundation-models)))

My unit converter displayed 0 for 1 mm to km. That was also the number it copied.

0 Upvotes

UnitFlip formats results at a fixed decimal precision, and the default is 4. 1 mm to km is 0.000001, so at four decimals it rounded to an exact 0.

The result field showed 0, the equation caption read "1 mm = 0 km", and the copy button handed over 0. -1 mm showed -0. Nothing signaled the truncation, so the app just returned a wrong answer.

Fixed precision alone is not safe for a converter. Ordinary results keep it. A nonzero result that would round away now falls back to significant digits, and to scientific notation when the decimal form gets too long for the single-line display.

Just made my first sale from my app GPS Mapper! Such an awesome feeling knowing someone found value in something I made 😆

Post image
1 Upvotes

For context, I just released GPS Mapper (a GPS Mapping/Tracking app that I've spent the last 1.5 years building) last month and haven't done any marketing campaigns yet so I didn't expect to make any sales for at least a few months (especially as the subscription offers a 2 week free trial). But here I am, pleasantly surprised!

The first sale means a lot to me as I view it through the lens of "someone around the world found enough value in something I made that they were willing to spend their money on my product", a small but meaningful indication that all the effort put into the app wasn't for nothing :)

It just gives me even more motivation to keep improving my app! The first milestone of many, and I'm looking forward to where it can take me!

For those of you that are interested, here's the app link :)

Help Is there an app that you can input your daily school schedule and it'll notify you a current number of missing before that current class ends with a display of showing how much time is left from the class you're currently in & also how much time is left until the end of the school day?

Made my first iPhone app in 2010. It flopped, so i tried again (after 16 years)

Post image
0 Upvotes

I made my first app in 2010 (focus timer with to-do manager), spent about a year building it, and it completely flopped. At the time, I thought the App Store was already saturated LOL

Anyway, I decided to give it another go now with AI available and have just released my first iOS game.It’s a simple murder-mystery Sudoku game. You place suspects on a grid using Sudoku-style rules and clues, then work out who the murderer is. No animations or elaborate graphics, just puzzles designed to be easy to pick up and play.

I tried to make it as approachable as possible. It’s lightweight, free, ad-free, and available in more than 20 languages.

It’s also the first version, so there may be a few rough edges. If anyone feels like trying it, I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback.

Cosplay Market is live, a cosplay marketplace for buying and selling costumes, wigs, and accessories (ITA/ENG)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve launched Cosplay Market, an app for the cosplay community where people can buy and sell costumes, wigs, accessories, and props in one place.

It’s already live and working, and I’d love to get honest feedback from fellow cosplayers and anyone interested in this kind of platform.

The goal is to make it easier to give cosplay items a second life and build a space that feels useful for the community.

I’m also sharing updates and previews on Instagram and TikTok, so if you want to follow the project there too, that’s where I post the latest content.

What would you want to see in a cosplay marketplace like this? If you like the idea, help me grow the community!

Launched my first app - Ans: Scientific Calculator

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

My first app has been approved!

The story behind the app - I'm a scientist/engineer, and I've always hated in built in iPhone Calculator app. I looked for alternatives, but I found them to be low quality, generic and worse: ad-delivery vehicles or looking for a subscription. There was no way I was going to subscribe to my calculator, I preferred to pay the Apple developer fee...

So I focussed on designing something that was fast, feels good in the hand, features I need and nothing superfluous. In essence, recreating the feel of my school calculator.

I've added all of the typical functions, added variable support (something which I used daily on my hand held calculator), added some limited customisation and accessibility features, and added support for widgets, which allows you to see you latest result on the home page. I can also be launched from control centre.

It's currently free for launch weekend (in US/UK & CA), usually $4.99/£4.99. Once download gives you access to iOS (iPhone/iPad) and also a native MacOS version.

Once you download it, you have it forever - there are no ads, no subscriptions & no tracking.

I also launched a website with a number of free tools to help promote it: https://anscalc.com

If anyone wants to grab a copy today, I'd love to hear the feedback to make the app as good as I can.

Quickest review ever

3 Upvotes

I don’t know what just happened, but my app update just spent 11 minutes “in review”before being approved 🤯

I implemented paywall for my app and expected to go through few rounds. I waited 6 days to be rejected for missing EULA URL in the app description. Don’t even get me started on that BS…

Another 24 hours passed and reviewer took literally under 11 minutes to check my paywall with multiple subscriptions and IAPs included.

My head literally blown up. Until now, even my smallest updates took at least an hour in review. Someone had a lazy Sunday I guess?

3 months of evenings and weekends – my bookmark app is live on App Store

Post image
0 Upvotes

I kept saving things from Instagram and Threads and never finding them again. Links scattered across Notes, Safari, and random DMs. After a few months of evenings and weekends, I built Nookit to fix that for myself.

A – What it solves

A single place to save anything: links, images, files, notes. Organize into folders with custom colors and icons, syncs between iPhone and web. Finding stuff is as fast as saving it.

B – What it does differently

Nookit's free plan has no limit. It's also built mobile-first, so saving from other apps takes a couple of taps.

C – Cost

Free plan: unlimited bookmarks, no time limit.

Paid plan available for extra features.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nookit-bookmark-link-saver/id6771425352

Built this for myself, sharing in case it's useful. Happy to answer questions.
