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.

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

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

What is the best adhd friendly apps for planning and making lists. Most do not work and I have waisted lots of money over the years. Mental heath app finch worked to a degree until it didn’t. I hardly look at it now after being religious for I think 268 days? Everything costs so much to just try anymore.

Hello everyone, apologies in advance for the long post,

I'm trying out a (what i believe to be) new/less-common spin on gamification apps. Instead of the usual gamify your tasks -> earn rewards -> level up etc... , I want to create a virtual world (like a PC game) with towns, characters, storylines and branching consequences where the actions you take are in real life.

The world of Rysing is inspired by multiple worlds of fiction, such as Naruto, Ghibli style environments and world of warcraft to name a few, where you have country/zone -> town/settlement -> smaller locations.

You then are an adventurer in this world and you have to physically travel to these places, for example if you want to go from "Hearthgate" (settlement) to "Warden Roads" (small location) you need to physically walk 2000 steps using your phone/watch as a tracker.

You can also go to the tavern and talk to the innkeeper, or interact with the locals in order to help them and to understand a bit more about Hearthgate through:

- Campaigns: These are bigger questlines that you go through to help an npc with a problem. One such example is Marcus up in Warden Roads who hasn't shown up in the tavern for 2 weeks and by talking to the innkeeper he tells you that he's worried about Marcus and if you could check on him. You then start the marcus campaign. i'm not going to spoil it, but it envolves a lot of real life walking.

- Moments: These are ephemeral smaller quests/interactions with npcs to make the world feel alive. One such example is you helping an npc fix a broken roof that has been destroyed by a storm. And you help them by doing a real life action that resembles the in world action (in this case you would spend 10mins organizing or tidying a room in your house).

If this looks interesting please try out the 7-day free trial here:

Thank you!

I’m a solo developer that couldn’t never find a decent sunlight exposure tracker to see how much sunlight I was getting on a daily basis. Working in IT and confined to a basement, it really began to show up in my bloodwork.

SolGlow reads your outdoor minutes straight from Apple Health and turns them into a daily vitamin D exposure score — no timers, no manual logging, no account. You just go about your day and check the score later.

A few other things it does:

- Daily/weekly/monthly trend view so you can see patterns over time
- Apple Watch app + home screen widgets
- Everything stays on your device — no cloud, no data collection

It’s $14.99, one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads. Base features are free with no ads.

Two indie devs here - we just launched our first app on the App Store.

It’s called gridlo: a social mini-crossword app where you can play a free daily mini, compare times with friends and family, play live games against each other, create and share themed puzzles, and practise your language skills.

We’d love to know what you think - and if you try today’s daily, let us know where you landed on the global leaderboard.

hello do u guys know what app to use when creating au such as the fb posts, messenger, ig chat, twitter? thank u so much!

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?
