I made my first app to make your posts look stunning
Hey (https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/) 🎉
Excited to share my first app – KikoCard! An app designed to make ur words look stunning on platforms like Instagram/𝕏,etc. With KikoCard, u can whip up eye-catching posts, text-based posters, trendy announcements, job postings, invitations, and flyers in no time. It's all about boosting your social media game with visually appealing content.
🔗 Check it out on the App Store: KikoCard
Why I built KikoCard
As a designer, I used to get frustrated with how my text content looked on social media – it just ugly. I went through a bunch of iOS apps hoping to find the right tool, but none hit the mark – they just didn't deliver the visual punch I was looking for. Eventually, I resorted to using Figma, which, despite its power, tied me down to a desktop. This was far from ideal, especially when inspiration struck outdoors or while I was away from my computer. Plus, I've always wanted to dive into app development, so I took the plunge and started learning SwiftUI. After months of grinding, KikoCard is finally here, letting me (and now you!) share ideas beautifully anytime, anywhere, without fretting over the visual stuff.
What's Next for KikoCard
I'm looking at adding aspect ratios for different platforms, a save feature, auto-split for long texts, image integration, one-click import from other platforms, and customizable icons. I'd love to hear what features you think should come next!
Freemium Goodness
You can enjoy the first 5 templates absolutely free, with all their features unlocked. Want more? For a one-time fee of $12.99 (yep, no subscriptions), you can unlock all templates, remove the watermark, and say goodbye to those pesky paywall ads.
Promo Giveaway Alert 🎁
I'm giving away full upgrade promo codes to the first 20 folks who share a screenshot of their KikoCard’s screen in this thread. Can't wait to see what awesome content you come up with using KikoCard!
Let's go 🙌

Darksun Weather, a free spiritual-successor to Dark Sky, is now available for iPhone/iPad
GOOD MORNING!
TL;DR: I loved Dark Sky's UI, features, and no-subscription model. I built Darksun Weather as an homage to what made Dark Sky great, bringing in new ideas and modern features, while keeping it free (sorry, no weather alerts & radar!), without ads/tracking/data collection/subscription.
It's built for simplicity and ease of use.
Preview: https://imgur.com/a/r8f8T9P
📱 **Download on the App Store**
# Designing Darksun Weather
Darksun Weather's guiding principle is to help users understand the weather at a glance.
I want you to look at the app for just 2 seconds and, by glancing at shapes and colors, understand the current weather and what's coming in the next 24 hours and next week.
I also aim to make weather data useful in your daily life.
Do you always check wind speed or feels-like temperature? Probably not. Darksun Weather surfaces such information when it's relevant, in an easy-to-digest format.
Do you always need the forecast for after midnight? Unlikely. That's why it's collapsed by default—but, you can expand it with a single tap (and the app will remember your choice).
Information design and User Experience is high on my agenda. Darksun Weather allows for light customisation where it makes sense. There are no settings screens. Everything is done in-place, contextually, and your choices are persistent.
# Weather data
Dark Sky’s weather data & API were legendary. Sadly, they're not available anymore. The closest thing is Apple's Weather API (not to be confused with the Apple Weather app), but it's not free, so I can't include it in this free app.
Darksun Weather comes with two free high-quality weather data providers: Open-Meteo and MET Norway (Yr.no), along with the free (but rate-limited) OpenStreetMap for location searching.
There is a private version of Darksun Weather (currently only for friends & family), which also supports Apple Weather, including minute-by-minute precipitation & weather alerts. It's not public yet—if it ever is, it'll likely require a subscription to cover the costs of running my own infrastructure and the Apple Weather API.
# Thanks!
I hope you'll enjoy Darksun Weather as much as I do.
I have ideas for future additions to the app and am open to feedback and suggestions. Remember, Darksun Weather will always prioritize simplicity and ease of use!
You can reach me at info AT darksunapp DOT com, and find more at darksunapp.com.
Darksun Weather will always remain free as is, since it doesn’t incur any costs for me to run. In the future, I might add value-added or cosmetic features as one-time IAPs for those who want to support the development. I might also introduce premium weather sources (behind a subscription, to cover their ongoing costs), offering more features like weather alerts, radar, and minute-by-minute precipitation. All of this will be optional; the app will remain free as is and will not nag you to purchase or subscribe.
**Download on the App Store** (I appreciate your ratings & reviews!)

FINALLY!! I have found the fix for the infamous "contact photos not staying as I have cropped them"
You know how youll set a contact photo (not poster) for a friend.. so that their little text bubble in your message folder has their face on it... but it ALWAYS reverts right back to like.. the middle of their body.. well look no further... The answer is here! Apple doesnt even suggest checking this... sheesh..
Its so simple! You probably have your google linked to your phone... If you log in on icloud.com youll notice A LOT of your contacts dont show up and this is because they are saved to your google and not your icloud.. you need to go on google and export ALL YOUR CONTACTS...(select the 3rd option that mentions iphone or ios after you click export) THEN you need to log in on icloud.com and then IMPORT that download file. after youve done this.. go to the settings on your iphone.. then contacts... then accounts... click your gmail or google account.. either delete it entirely OR just untick the contacts slider... BOOM! YOUR DONE! after years of dealing with this horse crap and so many useless google searches and apple literally offering NO HELP AT ALL... its as simple as that... Thank goodness the nightmare has ended...

Promo Sunday NeuroNotes, a fully-fledged note-taking app
Hey, r/apple!
I’m excited to share with you my first app, NeuroNotes – an A4 PDF note-taking tool that I wrote while waiting for University to start. As a biology student myself, I have included features (not found in other apps) that I found useful, without any pesky paywalls.
Organisation:
1. Seamlessly sort your documents into books with chapters
2. Bookmark pages for easy identification
Editing:
1. Enjoy versatile editing capabilities including PDF annotation, text formatting (with options like indentation, lists, keyboard shortcuts), sticky notes, image, voice recording with transcripts, Apple Pencil drawing
2. Sticky notes with smart annotations: add small notes or comments without obstructing other content! In large view, enjoy the complete view of your note; in small view, your notes are condensed into visual annotations (e.g. exclamation mark, star), ensuring your work stays clutter-free. Each annotation serves as a visual cue, representing the essence of your notes without overwhelming your workspace. In read mode, tap on an annotation to show a pop-over of the content
3. Import/export part of the PDF
4. Text box have built in word and character Counter
Navigation:
1. Widget and app’s home screen shows last opened documents
2. Tabs to switch between documents
3. The (dark-green) navigator can be moved around if it is obstructing your view
4. Tapping on “page x of y” of navigator lets you quickly change to any page (also shows if the page is bookmarked)
5. Navigator lets you quickly jump between documents in the same chapter
Other features:
1. iCloud sync — selectively choose which notes to store in the cloud, optimising storage efficiency
2. Custom Page Templates — create templates with varying backgrounds, line styles, and colours to suit your preferences.
3. In-App Browser — quickly accessing the web or seeking assistance from ChatGPT within the app itself
4. Live text — uses Apple’s API for image-to-text and subject lift from PDF and images
Give NeuroNotes a try and let me know what you think. Your feedback is invaluable as I continue to refine and improve the app.

Thank you for your support and happy note-taking!

Thanks to r/Apple, my little music streaming app reached #1 in 5 countries. Thank you SO MUCH for your incredible help guys!
Hi, r/Apple 👋
A month ago I posted in your subreddit about my newly released music streaming app Demus: Easy Music Streaming. To my surprise, the post received hundreds of comments and upvotes, which totally exceeded all my expectations and made it a great start for my app. I'm very grateful for that, as I could have never achieved that without your help!
Week after the post, when I read the charts I noticed my app being featured as #1 in the music category in Romania, Germany, Austria, France, and Serbia. In Romania, it was even #1 in all App Store categories. I could not believe my eyes!
To those who missed the post, my app Demus allows you to listen to your favorite music on YouTube legally for free with no annoying ads. It's so simple that you can start listening just 3 seconds after installing it! It requires no account, contains no subscription, works completely on your phone, and collects no personal data. If you would like to give my app a try, here is the original post with a lot of information!
Thank you,
Simon - the developer of AppRaven
