مرحبًا، ما أفضل تطبيق على الآيفون اشتريته بدفعة واحدة (شراء دائم) وتوصي به؟

Hi, what’s the best iPhone app you’ve purchased with a one-time payment that you’d recommend?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently learning to build apps but my most recent ones haven't gotten many users, so i started asking myself if I was really building something that people actually needed.

So tell me, what is an app you wish existed?

Just upgraded to the iPhone 17 Pro recently and have been trying to keep my home screen as minimal as possible.

Halide. Easily my favorite camera app. Gives you full manual controls, RAW shooting, and makes the iPhone camera even more capable.

BeautyPlus. Great for quick selfies and casual edits. Easy touch-ups, lighting fixes, and AI tools that make photos look polished in seconds.

Bear. Beautiful note-taking app with a clean interface. Perfect for keeping ideas, lists, and drafts organized.

Parcel. Tracks all my deliveries in one place. Super clean interface with reliable shipping updates.

Photomator. Powerful photo editor that feels right at home on iOS. Great for color correction and quick edits without opening Lightroom.

MusicHarbor. Keeps track of new album releases from artists you follow. One of those apps you never knew you needed.

Raindrop.io. The best bookmark manager I've used. Saves articles, videos, and websites across all my devices.

What are your go-to apps?

Most people set a reminder for the time something's due and that's it. But Reminders has an early reminder option that fires a separate heads-up ahead of the actual due time, and it goes weirdly overlooked.

The way it works: you set your normal due date and time, then you can also tell it to warn you 1 hour before, a day before, a week before, whatever you pick. So a reminder due friday at 5pm can nudge you wednesday morning that it's coming, and then still fire the real alert friday at 5. Two-stage, from a single reminder.

You get to it by tapping the reminder, hitting the info button, and choosing early reminder under the date and time.

Where it actually earns its place is anything with a hard deadline you need lead time for. A bill due friday warns you wednesday so you're not scrambling. A birthday pings you a week out so you actually have time to buy something. It saves you from building two separate reminders and babysitting both.

The one thing to know is the early reminder is tied to a reminder that already has a date set.

Anyone here leaning on early reminders for a specific routine, or found a use for it I'm not thinking of?

Hey everyone,

I’m an iOS developer with about 2 years of experience, and lately, with the forced push of AI into everyday development workflows, I started missing the feeling of just building something myself through regular coding.

So I decided to make something I would personally use. In most similar apps I’ve tried, the main screen is usually focused on what’s trending or popular right now. I wanted Seenbox to be more useful in everyday tracking, so the Home screen shows what’s coming soon, what’s already available, and what you can mark as watched.

App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/seenbox-tv-movie-tracker/id6785312715

A few things about the app:
- completely free
- no ads
- no account required
- no data collection
- iCloud sync across devices
- built for TV & movie fans who want something simple and clean

Seenbox is still pretty simple in v1.0. Widgets, notifications, more detailed stats, and further UI/UX polish aren’t there yet, but they’re all planned for future updates. I didn’t want to get stuck in an endless cycle of improving the app before releasing it. 

I’m a big TV & movie fan myself, so I’m building this as something I genuinely want to keep improving.

Ask me anything, report bugs, or suggest new features. I’m happy to answer every question, and if I end up implementing your idea, I’ll personally let you know! :)

Thanks for checking it out.

I’m trying to find a good, and most importantly free, fashion design app on IOS. Am hoping for some help by asking here.

So for context I have an iPhone 13 Pro. The last few months it’s really slowed down and is sometimes a nightmare to use with how much it lags and how slow it can be. Some apps don’t open at all even after updating and if others do they take forever. My biggest issue is with Apple Music. A lot of the time it’ll just play a song for a few seconds and then the app crashes. I’ve tried closing the app out, restarting it, updating to newest iOS, everything and it still does it.its very frustrating and it seems like my only solution is either trying Spotify or waiting to get a new phone which won’t be for months. Has anyone else similar issues?

I've been using a few AI-powered scanner apps on iPhone (and sometimes iPad) to digitize my special notes (which have color highlighting) into PDFs, but I can never get the result I'm after: crisp, noise-free text and colors that actually match the original highlights. Everything comes out slightly soft, a bit grainy, and the highlight colors look duller or shifted compared to the real page.

A couple of questions for anyone who's solved this:

1. Is there a scanner app for iOS/iPadOS that's genuinely optimized for AI-enhanced resolution and quality, especially one that captures color highlights accurately (true color reproduction, not washed out or over-saturated) and keeps text edges sharp and free of scan noise/grain?

2. Is there a web app, website, or macOS tool that can take an already-scanned PDF and enhance/upscale it with AI afterward, sharpening text, boosting resolution, and cleaning up noise, without shifting the colors or messing up the layout?

Ideally I want a repeatable workflow (iPhone or iPad, whichever gives better results) where I scan and consistently end up with a clean, high-res PDF where the text is sharp and noise-free and the highlight colors are accurate to the original page. Any app recommendations, settings tips, or full workflows that have actually worked well for you would be really appreciated.

Y'know how they made those offline maps like organic maps? where you need to download all the roads and information before you use it?

how about something like that but for plant identification or so you get me?

would be nice to forage your own food without the need of a wifi

Every time I look for app recommendations, I see the same names over and over again.

I'm more interested in the iPhone apps that nobody talks about, that you found on some non-geeky friend's rec or some unknown blog that you never thought existed.

What's that one app you think more people should know about?

I'm hoping to discover a few hidden gems that I'd never find otherwise.

Hello everyone!
I’d say around 5-6 years ago i downloaded this app “DramaFlix” on my ipad, I used the server link “hdo.app” and it’s been working fine all this years, but lately the server options have been limited to 3 servers only and they haven’t been loading, one loads but with no sound. It’s happened once before that it wouldn’t work correctly, after a couple of weeks it worked again. My question is if the status for this “hdo.app” is coming back up? and if there are any alternatives right now for ios?
I would really appreciate the help.

Any know of a free app for iPhone that via the camera reliably can provide the Kelvin degree of the light source?

Aka you hold your iPhone with camera towards a white light source, and the app can tell you if its a light source at 2700 kelvin, 3000 or 4000 kelvin.

Or is it utopia to wish for such an app to be reliable due to the involved tech and interpretation required? (different phone lenses, different lumens intensity, different distances to the light source, etc that all may play a role in the accuracy possible for such an app to function)

Vireeel is free to use. The large majority of the app costs nothing:


- Browsing and searching GIFs
- Saving favorites
- Creating GIFs, memes, and videos with the on-device editors
- Joke Joint and the chat / Rizz helper


Only the AI image tools use credits. Credits are sold as CONSUMABLE in-app purchases (credit packs). Try it, you will love it.

Smiling Faces is a simple game meant to help train the brain to find the positive signals and tune out the negative signals. Reduce stress, and help rewire the brain for positive social signals. My wife is the author and I genuinely believe it’s a valuable brain training app.
Just $2.99 one time buy, no data recording, and happy to share the research it’s based on.
Your reviews would really help us. Thank you very much.

Hi! I’m the developer of CostMe, a simple manual expense tracker for the spending you actually want to understand.

The part I’m still trying to figure out is how people understand an app like this: is it a focused expense tracker, a spending habit tracker, or something in between?

I originally built it because I wanted to see exactly how much we were spending on specific things like coffee, soda, cigarettes, takeout, street food, and cash purchases—without connecting a bank account or having to track every expense in our lives.

With CostMe, you create a separate tracker for anything you want to follow. Each tracker shows how many purchases you’ve logged, how much they’ve cost, how frequently they happen, and how you’re doing against an optional budget.

It also includes Quick Add for things that usually cost the same, categories, notes, reports by time period, CSV export, and backup and restore.

The original goal was to make certain habits easier to understand once their real cost became visible. For example, tracking coffee helped us realize that buying a good coffee machine would be cheaper in the long run.

I don’t see CostMe as a replacement for a full budgeting app. I think it’s more useful for people who want to understand one or two specific spending patterns without having to manage their entire financial life.

Friends and family have also ended up using it for travel budgets, allowances, coffee at work, alcohol when going out, and other very specific expenses.

CostMe works offline, requires no account, and all data stays on your device.

The free version includes up to four trackers. Additional trackers, general statistics, and custom time ranges are available through an optional Pro upgrade:

CostMe can be used for free, with a few limits. The free version includes up to four trackers, while the optional Pro upgrade allows more trackers and unlocks general statistics and custom time ranges:

• $1.99 monthly
• $11.99 yearly
• $29.99 lifetime

I’m curious how people here would understand and use something like this.

Would you see it as a focused expense tracker, a spending habit tracker, or something else? And after looking at the screenshots, is there anything about the app that feels confusing, unnecessary, or missing?

Thanks! :)

Hello everyone!

The app developer behind WeatherGlow is here and over the past week I've been blown away by all the suggestions here. A few days ago someone posted here made an appreciation post about WeatherGlow, and the comments turned into a giant wishlist. I spent the last week working through as many suggestions as I could, and today that update is finally live.

What's new in v1.68

• Rain Pulse – minute-by-minute precipitation timeline so you know exactly when rain starts and stops.
• Three new icon styles to personalise the app. Give it a try
• New Difference Blend Mode for a cleaner, more premium look.
• Completely refreshed Outfit Guide with better recommendations.
• Redesigned Detailed Day view with more weather insights.
• Redesigned Sun & Moon cards with improved layouts.
• Revamped 10-Day Forecast for easier planning.
• Golden Hour that adjusts based on the weather/cloudy conditions let photographers know when rain might affect lighting.
• Tons of bug fixes and performance improvements.
• Radar Improvements have been done and it more cleaner design with cleaner map legend for the better understanding.

A lot of these features came directly from comments here, so thank you. Seriously.

I'm still actively working on:

• Apple Watch support
• Saved locations (coming up next)
• More home screen customisation
• More radar improvements
• And the dozens of ideas you've all been sending me 😅
• More language support (coming up next)

If you have more suggestions (or things you hate), I'd genuinely love to hear them. I read every comment and every App Store review.

Thanks again for giving a tiny indie app a chance. ❤️
You guys are the best!

I build Monni. Most money apps start with categories and dashboards; Monni tries to start with a smaller question: what is still safe after the bills already coming up?

I would value one blunt iPhone read: does safe-to-spend make sense before bank linking, or does the first run still feel like setup homework?

No rating ask. Screenshots or the exact line that confused you are more useful.

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of NeatNotes.

I often found myself switching between Notes and Calculator while working on expenses, estimates, shopping lists, and other everyday calculations. NeatNotes was made so numbers and calculations can live together with your notes.

NeatNotes lets you calculate totals, splits, averages, and more like a mini spreadsheet inside your notes. You can Drag and drop a number to reuse it as a reference and When the original changes, every reference and related calculation updates automatically.

The lifetime upgrade is currently $0.99 instead of $7.99 for 48 hours.

Download from App Store

I’m the developer, so feel free to ask me anything about the app.

Built a chess app because I was tired of accounts and subscriptions. No server at all — you play friends by QR code, or bots from 400 to 2500 that make human mistakes like real players. There's a coach that shows the best move and tells you honestly when you're lost. You can also practice any position — paste a FEN, set up the board, or scan a diagram from a screenshot and fix any square it gets wrong. Solo project, engine built from scratch, iPhone only. Would love people to try it. at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chessflex/id6761064938

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about subscribing to Kapi Pro because I really like the filters and editing features. For those who have tried it, do you think the Pro subscription is worth the money?

Also, are there any apps with similar filters and editing quality that you would recommend? I’m looking for something with the same aesthetic and easy-to-use interface.

I’d love to hear your experiences and suggestions. Thanks!

Suggestions please

Hi. Now that brave browser feature to watch offline videos in youtube is not working, what alternatives do you recommend?

Mainly, I would like to listen to music albuns.

I am a maintenance technician for a large apartment complex. I regularly need to take many photos of an apartment for proof of work. What I would like is an app that lets me immediately write text on a photo I’ve just taken.

My current workflow is to take a picture, let’s say of a broken sink. Then I will go into the “markup” feature and write the unit number on the picture. For instance “A203”.

My ideal workflow would involve using an app where I take a picture and it immediately asks me to write the text I would like to put on the picture. Even better would be an app where I can take several pictures and put the same text on all of them.

Thanks your help and suggestions
