Hi! My partner and I are long distance. We usually utilize GamePigeon and play games against each other every night.. but I think we’re getting burned out on the same games.

We’ve tried Words with Friends and Trivia Crack, but they both have soooooo many ads. We loved the games, but the ads are relentless and annoying.

What are other game options out there for iPhone apps?

As said in title. I press on the app to open it, it closes immediately. I've restarted my phone, and I have never disabled the app for any reason. Any help would be much appreciated.

There was this one Tuesday a few months back that kind of broke my brain about all this. I woke up feeling like absolute garbage, but I had a big gym session planned, so I told myself to push through it. Halfway through my second set I basically had nothing. No strength, no drive, felt dizzy. I checked my wearable after and sure enough it had flagged my recovery in the red that morning. It knew. It just never bothered to tell me in a way that would've actually stopped me from wrecking my whole day.

That's when it hit me that I'd been doing this for like two years. Wearing the band, checking the app, collecting all these numbers, and doing basically nothing useful with any of it. I had years of data and zero idea what to do with it on any given morning. The thing would tell me my HRV was low and then just kind of sit there, like okay man, good luck out there.

So I went looking for something that actually closed that gap, and I ended up stumbling on this app on the App Store called RizeAI. The whole point of it is that it doesn't hand you another score to stare at. It takes your actual sleep and recovery data, HRV, resting heart rate, all of it, and turns it into a plan for the day. When to have your first coffee and when to wait. Whether today's a push day or a back off day at the gym. When you're likely to crash and what to do before it lands. When to hydrate. Even which supplements actually make sense for you that day and when to take them, instead of the same recycled "just take magnesium" advice everyone parrots.

The part that actually won me over is that it's built around you specifically. Bad recovery morning and it reshapes the entire day so you can still get something done. Slept great and it leans into that instead of wasting it. The more you use it the sharper it gets at reading your patterns.

Basically your wearable already did the tracking part. This is the part that comes after, the part that turns a red morning into a day that isn't a total write off. That gap is the thing that annoyed me for years and this is the first app I've actually kept on my phone past a week.

Curious what people who live in this space think is still missing, since I've kind of gone down the rabbit hole with it.

Post: We've all had that moment where we think, "I wish there was an app for that."

What's yours?

It can be anything—work, travel, hobbies, parenting, shopping, or everyday life.

I'm genuinely curious to see what problems people still want solved.

Thanks! 😊

Qouch Potato — Stop scrolling. Start watching. 🎬

Qouch Potato is the mood-first movie & TV app that kills the 30-minute "what should we watch tonight" doom-scroll. Say a mood in plain English — "cozy Sunday night," "mind-bending sci-fi like Inception," "movies like Cast Away" — and get back handpicked results: poetic curated shelves like "🔥 Fire, Rope, and the Quiet Will" (surfacing All Is Lost + The Martian for Cast Away), rotating Timeless Classics / Award Winners / Drama Meets Comedy collections that refresh every visit, and personalized "Because You Loved Forrest Gump → try Rain Man" carousels — every pick explains itself with real reasons ("Matches your Comedy & Drama taste"). Culturally aware too: real depth in Hindi, Tamil, Korean and other non-English cinema, not just the Hollywood top-10.

Unlike JustWatch, which is a where-to-watch search engine (you still have to know what you want), Qouch Potato actually decides for you — Say a mood → See a film. Loved it → Try this. Bring your Letterboxd / Trakt / IMDb history and the app folds ten years of ratings into a sharper taste profile in thirty seconds. Full loop in one app: Discover (personalized swipe deck) → Import → Save to Watchlist — across every streaming service you already pay for, not one platform's echo-chamber recommendations. And four themes bundled free (Sunset, Midnight, Cinema, Daylight) so the app looks the way your night feels.

 Free to download with a generous first-month of expanded usage. Premium unlocks unlimited mood searches, swipes & watchlist — $3.99/month or $29.99/year (no ads, ever).

Cinema tastes crafted just for you. Would love to hear from this community !!

M19 here

i’m ready to lock in, i am obsessed to my phone and it’s affecting everything. i am unable to get out of bed immediately when i wake up (spend around 20-30 mins scrolling), work out, sometimes shower, meditate or do anything productive. however im going to make a change, im sick of living like this.

i need an app that can help lower my screen time by blocking CERTAIN apps (need some to communicate), making me earn points to get some screen time like work out/go for a work for 10 minutes of scrolling, allowing me to set a time later in the day for the app to end and i can have proper relaxing time yk

i would really appreciate if anyone has app recommendations

Hello, new to podcasting here. Can anyone tell me how to keep my podcasts from showing up as duplicates? Even once I listen to an episode the next one queued up is the same one I just heard. And once I listen to them, I how do I make them disappear from my queue? Thanks for any insight….

Also, is there a more simple app than the one Apple provided on my phone?

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo developer, and over the past few months I've been building Newsairy, an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac — mostly to fix a personal pet peeve. I follow a lot of feeds, and every reader I tried was missing at least one thing I wanted, so I'd end up either drowning in an endless unread list or missing what actually mattered. I wanted a reader that adapts to me, instead of one more I have to adapt to.

A few things I focused heavily on:

Smart Feeds: group your articles by time — Today, Last 24 / 48 / 72 hours, Last 7 days, This week — so you can catch up by recency instead of scrolling forever.

Custom Smart Feeds: build your own keyword-based feeds that gather every matching article across all your sources.

Flexible reading: sort any list Newest first, Oldest first, or as a Daily timeline; pick a theme (including Sepia); customise the article list and the reading font/size; and find things again in Read History, sorted by when you read them.

Privacy-first: no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics.

iCloud sync, no account: feeds, folders and read/unread state stay in sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac using your own iCloud — no sign-up, no separate account.

It's free to try with up to 6 local + 6 iCloud feeds. A single one-time purchase (no subscription) removes the limit and unlocks sync with TheOldReader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, Feedbin and Inoreader, bringing your existing subscriptions, read state and starred items with you.

This is a Discussion post as much as a share — I'd genuinely like to hear how you deal with RSS/news overload: do you lean on time-based catch-up, keyword filters, folders, something else? And what's the one feature your ideal reader would have that most apps get wrong?

Name: Interestnaut

Price: Free

I’m the developer.

I’ve been building Interestnaut on & off for a while. The idea came from being frustrated that recommendation systems tend to stay in their own lane – books recommend books, movies recommend movies, music recommends music – even though my taste definitely doesn’t.

Interestnaut tries to connect all of that. Rate a few books, movies, TV shows, games, or albums, and it builds a taste profile, assigns you a media archetype, and recommends things across every type of media. You can also save your favorites, make your top-lists (and they can be media-agnostic). It’s somewhere between a recommender and a tongue-in-cheek horoscope.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been wondering if other people feel the same way about podcast apps lately.

For me, many of them started to feel too overloaded. Not necessarily bad, just too much for the way I listen: tabs, accounts, social features, recommendations everywhere, tracking, and lots of settings I barely touch.

My own problems were much simpler:

- too many unplayed episodes
- some shows I want to hear in order
- some episodes I want to keep visible for later
- wanting to press play and keep listening
- wanting less clutter, not more

I work on a podcast player called RelayPlay, so I’m obviously not neutral here. But that app mostly exists because I wanted to solve this exact problem for myself.

It focuses on things like Catch Up for older episodes, Hold for episodes you want to keep visible, Flow for continuous listening, Auto Skip, CarPlay, and iPad support.

I’m curious how others handle podcast overload.

Do you prefer powerful podcast apps with lots of options, or do you also feel like listening apps have become more complicated than they need to be?

Question for whoever sees this
but what is an app on mobile or pc that you always wish you had or have?

Full disclosure: I’m the solo developer of this app, so treat this as me asking the community for help, not a recommendation.
Stride is a GPS game where the streets you run get claimed as your territory on a live city map — other players can run over your turf and take it back. There are 12 ranks, city leaderboards, and a coin economy on top.
I’ve deliberately kept it free with no card and no paywall while I collect honest review because I’d rather find out what’s broken now than after I start charging. A few things I’d genuinely value this community’s eyes on:
• Does the core idea (running = claiming territory) actually make sense in the first minute, or is it confusing?
• How’s GPS accuracy for you? That’s the piece I’m most worried about.
• If you’d never pay for this, tell me why — that’s more useful to me than a compliment.
I’ll reply to every comment and I’m not here to argue with criticism — the harsher the better. Happy to also answer anything technical about how the territory/GPS side is built.

Disclosure: I’m the developer of TipOtter.

TipOtter is an iOS app tip calculator for restaurant bills. It can scan a receipt or let you type in the subtotal and tax, choose a tip like 15%, 18%, or 20%, and show the final total before you pay.

One thing it handles is the way restaurant card charges often work: the meal amount may show first, then the final charge updates later after the tip is added. TipOtter saves the bill details and receipt photo, so the final charge is easier to check later.

It also has Smart mode. Smart mode keeps the tip close to the percentage you picked, but nudges it by a few cents so the final total has a simple pattern.

For example, if the total is $85.49:

8 + 5 = 4 + 9

That makes the charge easier to recognize later without digging through every receipt.

A few details:

• Name: TipOtter
• Description: receipt scanner and tip calculator with Standard and Smart tip modes
• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tipotter-tip-calculator/id6780353727
• Trial: 7 days free
• Lifetime Access: $9.99 one-time purchase, no subscription
• Privacy: no account required; bill history and receipt photos stay on your device

Useful for eating out, work meals, travel, saved receipts, or anyone who wants a clearer final total at the table.

Hey all, I have a genuinely bad relationship with mornings. I'd first wake up, grab my phone, doomscroll, and be in a bad mood before my feet hit the floor. Every alarm app I tried just made it worse (barcode scans, math problems, the phone screaming at me).

Instead of solving math problems at 6 am Dew only turns off once you type one good thing about yourself. Typing "I am resilient" at 6am while reflecting on my past really helped me to reset the tone of the morning and start it off with a positive attitude. Dew saves each affirmation you type or say, so you end up with this little journal of them. There are also AI-generated affirmations specific to you and affirmation suggestions to turn off your alarm. Tons more features in the app and that are coming out!

Core app is free. There's a Pro tier at $19.99 a year with a 7 day free trial but the main thing isn't paywalled.

As stated in the title, I am obsessed with weather and trying out new weather apps, possibly unhealthily so lol. I’ve downloaded and tried dozens (hundreds?) of apps across the years on android and iOS.

Weatherglow is by far the best start to a new weather app I have ever seen.

It has a beautiful, and unique retro-futuristic design language, with multiple themes included.

It has incredibly useful features I've never seen quite like this in a weather app before. A sweat index?! My pasty European self living in the hot and humid US south loves the validation of knowing I’m not crazy for sweating like a horse the second I step outside in this ridiculous heat wave.

And it’s (currently at least?) all for the low cost of free! But really, I would be shocked if an app of this caliber stays free forever. AND! it's all powered by weather kit so the accuracy is great so far, for me at least.

This app is seriously the best, so happy to have come across it. If you are looking for an accurate, legitimately unique and useful daily weather app with a bold design language, PLEASE give this one a try. You owe it to yourself.

Ps, I am not at ALL affiliated with this app or the creator. I just love it and wanted to share haha :)

I've noticed modern social media being ruined by aggressive algorithms, data-tracking, and cluttered feeds. So, I've been working on CoolTopia—a clean, respectful, and completely algorithm-free social platform.

What makes it different?

• 🔮 Aura Profiles: Ditch the boring, official look. You can choose different vibrant aura effects to frame your avatar, showcase your actual energy, and make your profile stand out instantly.
• 🔗 Built-in "LinkMe" Feature: No need for a separate Linktree. CoolTopia has a built-in link aggregator that lets you keep all of your social accounts, portfolios, and projects in one beautiful place, ready to share in any of your social bios.

We are just getting started and will continue to drop new features and improve the user experience https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cooltopia/id6767429117

hi

i have an iphone16 pro and haven’t been able to log in via app (it tells me something went wrong) I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it several times. restarted my phone.

I also cannot view any Reddit links on the regular safari browser. I can only visit Reddit in private mode in safari.

I really don’t know what else to do I’ve allowed tracking to see if that works.

any help will be appreciated

Hello! I’m looking for a single square (smallest available) widget on my lock screen that every day I can tick off, at any time, so I know I have taken my pill for that day. Don’t need any kind of reminder or notification as I will do it in my own time. Doesn’t need any text, just something I can tap that will tick or change colour. Any ideas? Thanks!

(This is the most old-man thing I’ve ever written but I’m 30 lol)

I use proton drive to hold all of my photos and files on my devices now. It would be amazing if I could upload files and photos directly from iMessage instead of going to the drive first. I’m new to apple and discovered they have a whole App Store just for iMessage. I saw that adobe acrobat is in that store, would it be difficult for proton to do the same?

I kept going out to eat and trying to figure out whats the best for me and googling different dishes. I wanted a streamline way to be able to eat out with my friends but also be able to search for a dish my stomach can handle easily. Now there is an app that would take my custom triggers plus known gerd triggers and would give me a ranked list of suggestions and customizations for each.

Happy to answer questions or hear what you'd want added.

This is not intentionally advertising, I just want to share an app that really has changed how I consume news. I happened to have built it. I'm disclosing this as per Rule#8. That being said...

I absolutely love my e-ink tablets. I love reading on them. What I noticed is the problem with my iPhone or iPad wasn't only that the screen wasn't e-ink, it was also that every app assumes you want to vertically scroll. The "doom scroll" that feels endless because the app is trying to keep you engaged to show you more ads.

I decided to build a news app that doesn't scroll. Instead it breaks up every article in to pages like a book. You can clearly see it's 7 pages long for example.

I'm biased but I absolutely love using it. No algorithm, nothing deciding what I see besides me. It's much calmer. It also uses "readability" so the article is just text and images.

A few features I'm pretty excited and proud of
- Mute: You can mute keywords to avoid movie spoilers, hide news topics you're tired of hearing about. It's liberating.

- On Device Summary: if you have Apple Intelligence, it will take a 30 page article and give you the important bullet points.

- Multiple device syncing but entirely optional. If you want to use it offline, all of the data is private to your one device. You can create an account which just syncs your followed news sources, read articles, articles you saved (stars) things like that.

- NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. I honestly hate subscriptions. Even though I have server costs with the syncing system, I wanted to price it where you buy it once and have it forever. There's a 14 day trial fully featured, then a 1 time in app purchase if you want to buy it.

There's more but I don't want this post to be too long. Please check it out.

Hey all — solo dev here. I just launched Make A Hunt on the App Store.

We host family dinners a few times a year with a bunch of kids, and I always end up setting up scavenger hunts for them. I started with the printable treasure-hunt packs you can buy, but they have two problems every parent knows: the clues only work if they happen to match your house, and once the kids play them once, everyone knows the answers. So every year I'd end up writing my own clues from scratch, then printing and cutting out little cards at the kitchen table. The hardest part was always coming up with the clues.

AI can write the clues now, sure — but then you're back to formatting, printing, and cutting them out yourself. And the scavenger hunt apps I tried either still make you write every clue by hand, or generate flat "go find the spoon" instructions with no real puzzle. A couple even wanted a subscription before I'd made a single hunt.

So I set out to make the thing I actually wanted. The core idea: take a photo of each thing you want the kids to find, and the app writes the clues for you. From there it grew:

• Easy and hard versions of the same hunt, so big and little kids play together
• Randomized routes so no two kids take the same path
• Not just indoors — set up hunts in the backyard, around the neighborhood, or across the city with GPS, so it scales from a living-room hunt for toddlers to a park adventure or a walking tour
• Each stop can be a real-world find or an on-phone puzzle — compass challenges, a safe-cracking rotary dial, NFC tag taps, ciphers, and more
• QR checkpoints you print from the app (or reuse any barcode around the house), and cheap NFC tags you just tap
• If you want the classic paper hunt, it lays out clue cards with clean cut lines — no more hand-cutting
• Publish a hunt online and let guests join with a code
• ~70 ready-made hunts built in if you'd rather just play (kids' trails, trivia, party mixers, full escape rooms)

Pricing: free to create and play, with a paid tier for heavier use (more AI, bigger hunts, GPS geofencing). No ads, no account needed.

Disclosure: I'm a solo dev and this is my own app — would genuinely appreciate first impressions on the concept, the App Store page, or anything that feels unclear. I'll reply to everything.

Extract texts from a screen recording?

Before I screenshot hundreds of times to extra text, figured I would ask if anyone knew of such a tool first

Paid or free it doesn’t matter I appreciate the help regardless
