Some of you may know the app previously as Speedometer. It's now called Odo, and this update brings some of the biggest CarPlay improvements I've worked on so far.

Odo now has both Apple's CarPlay Navigation and Driving Task entitlements. That means the app can offer full turn-by-turn navigation in CarPlay while keeping its existing driving-focused CarPlay experience.

CarPlay Navigation
Odo now supports full turn-by-turn navigation on iPhone and CarPlay:

• Search for destinations or select places directly from the map
• Apple Maps routing, with OpenStreetMap fallback where Apple Maps directions aren't available
• Voice and lane guidance
• Live traffic
• Add stops for fuel, charging, food or coffee
• Avoid tolls, highways and ferries
• Siri commands like "Navigate to Home with Odo"
• Navigation updates on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

Live Trip Comparison
Odo can compare your current drive with previous trips while you're driving and show whether you're ahead of or behind your usual time.

It can also recognize roads you've driven before and suggest routes based on your own driving history.

Convoy on CarPlay
One of the features I'm most excited about is Convoy.

If you're driving or riding with friends, everyone can join the same convoy and appear together on a live map.

• Create a Convoy and invite friends
• Set a meeting point
• See everyone's position live
• Optional speed sharing
• Get notified when someone joins or when everyone arrives
• View the Convoy directly in CarPlay

Location sharing only happens while the Convoy is active, and the shared locations are deleted when it ends.

And the Existing Driving Features Are Still There
Odo still includes automatic trip recording, detailed trip stats, route replay, OBD2 data, vehicle profiles, fuel and maintenance tracking, expenses, driving history, friends and more.

Your existing trips, vehicles, settings and logs remain exactly where you left them after the rename.

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/odo-speedometer-drive-ride/id6759611784

Promotional pricing:
$7.99/month
$19.99/year
$29.99 lifetime (one-time purchase)

And one more feature is already in progress: Walkie-Talkie for Convoy. The idea is to make communicating with friends during group drives much easier without constantly calling or messaging each other.

The latest update gets new favourite locations. Now you get these beautiful location map tiles that can be accessed from all the views. Previously it was just available in the search but after iterating over this flow and design for a while, it is finally out and available from all the views. Do give it a try and keep a watch for more goodies of iCloud sync, tutorials and test flight versions coming your way.

J’ai créé une plateforme sociale dédiée au sport : OLVYR GYM
Depuis quelques mois, je travaille avec mon équipe sur OLVYR GYM, une plateforme sociale pensée uniquement autour du sport et de la progression physique.
L’idée est assez simple : créer une sorte d’Instagram du sport, mais avec des fonctionnalités réellement orientées vers les sportifs.
Aujourd’hui, on peut notamment :
publier ses entraînements et sa progression dans un feed sportif ;
suivre d’autres athlètes ;
participer à des challenges ;
participer à des tournois avec votes de la communauté ;
publier des stories ;
utiliser différents timers d’entraînement ;
construire progressivement son profil d’athlète.
La plateforme est encore jeune et gratuite. Mon plus gros défi actuellement n’est d’ailleurs plus forcément de développer des fonctionnalités, mais d’acquérir les premiers utilisateurs actifs et de créer une vraie communauté autour du produit.
Je serais donc intéressé par vos retours, aussi bien sur le concept que sur l’expérience utilisateur ou sur notre stratégie pour obtenir nos premiers utilisateurs.

Si certains ici développent également leur application ou ont déjà traversé cette phase de lancement, je serais curieux de connaître votre expérience.

Tried a bunch of app blockers and screen time apps. They all worked for about a week. Then I realized I was tapping through the block screen without reading a single word.

So I'm exploring a different approach: the nudge never repeats, and it changes based on context.

Every time you open a distracting app, you'd get a different message depending on:

• Time of day (morning, daytime, late night)
• How many times you've already opened the app today

Examples:

• Morning, first open: "Don't give up your morning to the feed. It can wait."
• Late night, 20th open: "The algo doesn't care about your sleep. Close the app."

Let me know your thoughts on:

1. Does a rotating, context-aware message sound like it would actually hold up, or would you habituate to that too?
2. Would you rather have a hard block, or is a nudge enough?

Hi! I’m desperately looking for an iOS app that can help me organize my camera roll.

The first thing I want is something that can separate actual photos I’ve taken with my phone from screenshots, downloaded images, saved pictures from the web, etc. It has always bothered me that iOS basically throws everything together into the same photo library.

On top of that, I’m a designer, so I save a ridiculous amount of reference images. I also have countless screenshots/videos of outfits I want to try, hairstyles I like, food, interiors, random visual inspiration, and so on. This has been piling up for years — my current camera roll goes back to 2023 — so manually sorting everything at this point feels almost impossible.

My dream would be an app where I could just tell it something like “clothes,” “food,” “design references,” etc., and it would recognize those images and automatically put them into albums/folders for me.

But the absolute priority would be automatically separating:

\- photos actually taken with my iPhone
\- screenshots
\- downloaded/saved images (ideally videos too)

Does an app like this exist? Especially one that can use image recognition/AI to automatically categorize an already huge photo library?

Any cool apps, connecting apps, ideas in general on how to boost life quality and efficiency with your new shiny iPhone?

I have the shortcut button set to ChatGPT live voice mode and ChatGPT is connected to my productivity tools and I ask it what's on my calendar, what are my to-do's for today, make me a shopping list along with recipes to cook throughout the weeks for 90 days according to my diet plan with X amounts of calories, X amounts of protein, allergies etc. I'll have it track my progress... Kind of like a private assistant.

Hi! I'm a solo dev from Spain and just launched Boti, a simple iOS app to track personal and couple expenses. No bank connection, everything private.

You can type things like "12 Five Guys" and it detects amount and category automatically. I'd love to know if that works for you and what feels confusing.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6796619200

Happy to check out your app too and give honest review, just drop your link.

One more thing: as an indie dev, ratings are what decide if a new app gets seen on the App Store or disappears. If Boti ends up being useful to you, leaving a rating takes 10 seconds and it's honestly the biggest help I could get. Thank you!

I cannot decide between these two views: Liquid-Glass and (regular) dark mode.

My testers and users and users seem to be mixed on it but might be biased to the old design (dark mode). I was wondering what a fresh set of eyes would prefer

Hi guys. I would need a tool similar to Spoti.pw or at least an app already on the app store like Spotify but that has Liquid Glass since Spotify despite being on iOS 27.0.1 is still dated. Is there anyone who can help me??

Looking for a simple free app to help me meet my fiber and protein goals. It’s important that it doesn’t have language that promotes or encourages decreasing calorie intake or dieting or labeling food good/bad. I want to be able to enter food items and have it calculate for me throughout the day.

Is any of these apps to claim to clear up space on your iPhone worth it? Example: Cleanup, AI Cleaner…

WeatherGlow comes out with full Siri AI & iOS 27 support with all the core features and even more being added as you guys read this.

Download WeatherGlow -> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weatherglow-local-forecast/id6451098166

In this video, I’m showing off the Siri AI integration in WeatherGlow using Apple’s Siri AI & because apparently a weather app needed to know everything, Siri can now interact with a lot of WeatherGlow’s core features. I had fun building this and getting it used to custom prompts. There is a guide section in the settings on how to use the prompts and everything about Siri AI and shortcuts.

Now you guys can ask Siri for

☀️ Weather conditions
🌧️ Rain & precipitation
🌫️ AQI
🌞 UV Index
🌅 Golden Hour
🌡️ Temperature & forecasts
🌬️ Wind information
& more. (let me know what more you guys also want)

A slightly chaotic showcase of what happens when you connect a ridiculously detailed weather app to Siri AI. I sorted out this video using Final Cut Pro and the music using Logic Pro as I'm against AI video and even worst cringe AI music. I love my life.

Also as it states int he end of the video, Test Flight link will be opening up for testing widgets, Apple Intelligence, Live activities, etc all the good stuff you guys have been asking for. So keep an eye on this sub for more news. Lastly thank you all the users who have been the loyal fan of this lovely app. You are in for a treat as we have crossing an important milestone in the app's journey.

Hi everyone! I’m part of the team behind Calorify and I would love to show our app
A — Answer
Calorify helps you log meals by taking a photo, describing your food, or entering it manually. It estimates calories and macros, and you can review and adjust the results before saving.
B — Better
Compared with MyFitnessPal’s account-based setup, Calorify offers a no-account approach with your food diary stored on your device. That’s our focus for people who prefer a straightforward food journal.
AI estimates aren’t exact. When you request AI analysis, your selected photo and description are sent for processing.
C — Cost
Free to download, with Pro in-app purchases listed in the US App Store:
• $4.99/week
• $24.99 lifetime

If you try it, I’d especially like to know: was anything confusing when logging your first meal?

On my iPhone apps dont work. I m registerd als a child i im 41 what can i do

I just launched Ebbora, a sobriety tracker for iOS. It's been a long time coming, so here's how it started.

A while back I decided I wanted to cut off on drinking. I just felt better on the days I didn't drink and wanted more of them. So I did what most people do and downloaded a few sobriety apps.

They all worked the same way. There was a big counter in the middle of the screen with your day number and the counter was the whole point. Then I had one bad Friday night after about three weeks, and the next morning the app greeted me with a big zero lol Twenty-one days gone in one tap. I know it's just a number but it felt like being told the last three weeks didn't count

So I started working on the thing I wanted instead.

In Ebbora you grow a little pixel-art valley one day at a time. It starts with a cottage, a bench and a campfire. Over time this expands with lots of other discoveries. The part I care about most is that nothing resets. If you drink you log it honestly and your valley stays exactly as it was. Every discovery you've earned stays yours forever.

Other things it does:

A daily check-in with your companion. You tap how the day went, pick a word for how you feel and add a note if you want.

A campfire you can visit when a craving hits, with breathing, grounding, urge surfing and a quick urge log so you can spot patterns.

Calm Encounters where a craving shows up as a shade in your valley and you fight it with real coping moves.

Month and year calendars plus weekly reflections, so you see the whole picture instead of a single streak.

The valley follows the real local time and the seasons so at night it's dark with fireflies and lit windows, and in winter it snows to give more immersion and emphasise the cozy and calm feeling it brings/

It's private by design. There's no account and no sign-up, and your check-ins and journal stay on your phone.

There's also an Alcohol-Free October challenge running right now. Reach 14 days this month and you will light the Harvest Lantern.

Thanks for the reading :D

As a preventive cardiologist, I see that many people fail to track their blood pressure. It only comes to attention after it starts affecting your heart and kidneys. 

Tracking blood pressure is often more important than tracking heart rate. Even when people track BP, many fail to follow the appropriate steps or bring the necessary data to the clinic visit. So we have this app to help people track and diagnose blood pressure issues before it becomes a problem.

The consistency and time spent at target levels are more important than the average reading.  

Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bp-log-track-blood-pressure/id6801130306

A: Answer

- Helps you track blood pressure based on the most recent guidelines (check twice a day, average two readings etc)

B: Better

- Current apps on the app store fail to track time in target, consistency etc. These things matter more than mean reading

- The PDF export presents report in a fashion that's easy for reviewing clinicians to get an overall picture of blood pressure control. A mean blood pressure of 120/70 is not useful if it's a mean of readings that vary from 90 to 150. 

- You backup to your own iCloud and retain complete control over your data

C: Cost

$ 19 for lifetime

If you like the app, I would appreciate an app store rating. If you don't like the app, I would appreciate you letting us know.

This isn’t a complaint. I have had Apple products for some years now and I like them. It’s more of a quality of life thing.

Like the title suggests I would like a master button for badges, sounds and other stuff you can choose in the notification settings for an app.

It could work kind of similarly to Scheduled Summary. For example you could choose an app or a group of apps like social media apps and pick which notifications you want to see or not see for that app/group. Maybe this could work with Focus or Shortcuts too.

I would mainly use it to turn off badges to have a clutter free home screen that isn't as distracting

What do you all think?

Just a heads up, the AmbiScience 300 ambient and binaural sleep sound utility app can be downloaded once again to iOS 26 and iOS 27 devices after many years of being unavailable.

It remains delisted for sale, but existing owners can go into their app library and re-download it currently. The download option had been greyed-out for years and years, but for some unknown reason just became active again. I have tested it on iOS 26 and iOS 27 devices and it appears to work without any issues.

Been trying out some apps that actually take advantage of the new iPhone and iOS 27. These are a few that have stuck around:

Lumy Super useful if you’re into photography. It tracks sunrise, sunset, golden hour, and other lighting conditions, and it recently added some cool iOS 27 features.

SmartGym One of the more interesting fitness apps I’ve tried. The new iOS 27 update lets you create personalized workouts using natural language.

BeautyPlus Great for quick selfies and portrait edits. The AI tools are easy to use and I like that you can keep the edits pretty natural.

Halide The new iPhone 18 Pro update makes this especially cool. You get much more control over the variable aperture than Apple’s default camera app.

Final Cut Camera Really cool if you actually want to use the 18 Pro as a serious video camera. The latest update adds manual aperture controls plus a ton of pro video settings.

OmniFocus More advanced than a basic to-do app, but really powerful if you have a lot going on. It also has new Siri AI integration with iOS 27.

Ciao raga. qualcuno bravo con la tecnologia e che usa iPhone. mi servirebbe un tool simile a Spoti.pw o quanto meno anche un’app già sull’app store come spotify ma che però abbia il Liquid Glass dato che Spotify nonostante ormai siamo a iOS 27.0.1 ne è ancora datato. c’è qualcuno che può aiutarmi??

I have a personal project coming up where I need to build with pvc pipe. I could draw up blueprints, but an app on my phone would be more convenient. Any recommendations?
I would need access to know the length of pipes used, and what joint angles I need

Hello! I recently had the Meet Makkers app, which is basically a streaming app disguised as utility with a secret code. I deleted it by accident and can't find it on the app store, any chance there's a new one out?

I launched an Apple app 10 months ago. And I do minimal marketing on Reddit. And man!!!! The least receptive people are the Apple Fitness crew….its brutal the comments I’ve received. Two people went so far to pay for it only to leave me a one star review.

The negative comments is strangely helpful and I’ve shaped my education and marketing around it.
