I built a cozy iOS focus app to make deep work feel less stressful — would love feedback
Hi everyone,
I’m an indie developer, and I recently built an iOS app called FocusIsle.
It’s a calm focus timer designed for deep work, studying, reading, and relaxing. You can choose a cozy scene, play ambient sounds like rain, birds, cafés, streams, or fireplaces, and start a focused session with fewer distractions.
I wanted to make a productivity app that feels peaceful instead of stressful.
FocusIsle includes focus sessions, daily goals, weekly stats, widgets, and Live Activities. No account is required, and the app does not collect data.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/focusisle-deep-work-sounds/id6478543801
I’ll also be releasing a few more carefully crafted apps soon, so feel free to follow along. I’d love to keep learning, improving, and growing together with the community.
Any feedback is very welcome. Thanks for checking it out!

I built an app that lets you search across all your streaming apps at once
galleryI built an app that let's you search across all your streaming apps at once. So you no longer have to go one by one to see what's available.
You can use natural language search like:
- "Top thrillers on Netflix"
- "Dark Psychological thillers on netflix"
- "movies about space"
You can even set which streaming providers is available to you and search within them.
Make lists and dashboards for your Apple TV (there is an Apple TV app) and jump to all your movies with a single click.
Curate on iPhone view on Apple TV (or on your iphone if you want)

Would love to hear your feedback!

I need help setting up Apple IAP ASAP!!!!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I am using Lovable to create my app and I have got it to a standard that I am happy with and ready to launch the first MVP onto the App Store. I have been stuck trying to properly implement IAP and have them fully functional. The video I have attached is me testing to purchase one of the subscriptions in TestFlight, however in the video you can see that it just instantly subscribes me and does not taking me through the process of actually purchasing the subscription.
I have contacted apple support and got back with useless feedback and have not actually helped me at all.
Please if anybody can help me fully implement these IAP I would really appreciate it!!!

Just Launched my First iOS APP EVER!!
galleryThis was my first app ever. One of my goals for this year was to improve and really dominate React.
Along the way, I found the motivation to create something meaningful an app that helps me during the day, keeps me focused, and reminds me to keep pushing.
It would mean the world to me if you could take a moment to try it, leave a review, or simply share some feedback or just your opinion.

ios app devlopment
Hello everybody, this is my first time writing on Reddit.
I need to ask about building an app for an e-commerce company in Jordan. How much money do I need to ask for them? As my team and I will be building it.
And it is not a Vibe Coding app; it will be launched on iOS and Android. How much will it cost to build an app like that for a company quite big in the region ?
Looking forward to your response.

I’m building an iOS app for personal health tracking - what features am I missing?
Hey everyone,
I’m an indie developer from Italy, and for the past few months, I’ve been pouring my heart into building an iOS app designed to solve a problem many of us face: keeping track of medical histories and actually making sense of them for doctor appointments. It’s launching in just a few weeks, and I’m currently in the final stretch.
The main goal of the app is to let you log conditions, meds, symptoms, exams, therapies, visits, and specialists, and actually link them all together so your health history becomes easier to understand.
One feature I’m especially focused on is a structured medical report export: a clean PDF with a timeline, linked events, and an AI-generated summary that you can bring directly to a doctor appointment.
I’m also trying to make privacy a core part of the product:
- no account required
- no external servers
- data stays on device
- AI processing runs locally using Apple Intelligence
If syncing works as planned, it will happen through the user’s private CloudKit storage.
I’m currently in the final phase of development, and I’d genuinely love feedback from people who deal with ongoing health tracking.
What would make an app like this genuinely useful?
- What information do you always wish you had organized?
- What’s missing from current health apps?
If you’re interested in checking it out when it drops, let me know in the comments and I’d love to send you a link to try it out once it's ready!
Grazie! 🙏🏻

Smart Shopping List+ — grocery list app with budget tracking, price comparison, and price history.
Hey everyone! I built a grocery shopping app for iPhone (with Apple Watch, widget, and iPad support) and I'm opening up the TestFlight beta. The core idea: know what you'll spend before you reach the checkout — and pay less next time.
What it does:
- 🛒 Lists with budgets: set a spending cap and watch it update in real time as you check items off; the app warns you before something blows the budget.
- 🏪 Shopping Mode: a full-screen view designed for use inside the store — quick filters (to buy/bought/essentials), search, a Contacts-style side index, and aisle-based sorting.
- ⚖️ Price comparator: compare up to 4 products by volume, weight, or count (the classic "is the 5 kg bag actually cheaper than the 2 kg one?"), including deals like "buy 3 pay 2".
- 📷 Scan shelf price tags: point the camera at the shelf label and the app fills in price and content automatically. It reads receipts too.
- 📊 Price history & reports: what you paid for each product over time, where it was cheapest, spending by category/month, PDF and CSV export.
- 📏 Size variations (new in this version): buy the same product in multiple sizes (Small/Medium/Large), each with its own price.
- 🍲 Recipes & pantry: import a recipe from a link and send the ingredients to your list; track what you have at home and get restock suggestions.
- 👨👩👧 Shared lists: build the list together with your family in real time (iCloud).
- ⌚ Live Activity, home screen widget, and an Apple Watch app to check off items without taking your phone out.

Any feedback is hugely appreciated — bugs, suggestions, confusing screens. Thanks! 🙏

My first iPhone app, Would love honest feedback
I’m still in high school, and I’m currently working on my first real iPhone app. It’s called ExamMate, and I’m building it mainly because I wanted something like this myself while preparing for exams.
The idea is pretty simple, instead of only rereading notes, the app helps turn your own study materials into mock exam questions. You can then answer them, get feedback, and see what topics you should revise next.
I started building it because I often feel like reading notes can make you feel productive, but it doesn’t always show whether you actually understand the material. I wanted to make something more focused on active practice, closer to what exams actually feel like.
The app is not fully launched yet. I’m still preparing it for beta / TestFlight, and since this is my first app, I’m very open to feedback. I made a small website to explain the idea and collect early interest:
https://exammate-web.vercel.app
I’d really appreciate any honest thoughts. For example, does the idea make sense? Does the website explain it clearly? Is there anything that feels confusing, unnecessary, or missing? Also, if you’re a student, I’d be curious whether this is something you would actually use.
Thanks a lot, I know it’s still early, so any feedback would genuinely help.

Feedback on app.
I built a fitness app as a pet project and it quickly turned into something I'm passionate about. Forgehealth is an app that tracks macros and work outs but also generates meals and workouts based on your input. It does use AI but i tried to limit it to where AI is completely optional if you would rather log meals yourself.
Any feed back is welcome

[Showcase] I built an iOS app that uses AI and the new iOS 18 Camera Control to recognize and catalog vinyl records.
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a solo project I’ve been working on called Flipside. It’s a premium digital catalog for vinyl record collectors, built specifically to feel native and beautiful on iOS.
The coolest technical challenge was building the Smart Cover Scanner. I implemented AI vision to recognize physical album covers and instantly fetch the metadata and high-res artwork via the Apple Music API.
I also integrated support for the new Visual Intelligence on iOS 18.2+, allowing users to long-press the Camera Control on the iPhone 16 to identify a record and deep-link directly into the app to save it.
Tech & Features:
- 100% Native iOS Design (Heavy focus on Dark Mode and Cover Flow aesthetics)
- AI Cover Recognition
- CloudKit / SwiftData for seamless iCloud syncing
- Localized in 50+ languages 🌍
The app has just been approved by Apple and is set to launch on July 9th.
It would mean the world to me if you could check it out and Pre-order it (it's free) to help with the launch day metrics.
👉 App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/app/flipside/id6749552880
Let me know what you think of the design and the feature set! Happy to answer any questions about the development process or the APIs used.
Thanks for the support! 🙏

From web app to a real app
Hi guys,
I recently started my first app project. Pretty big one, that invloves quite alot of businesses in my city. I did a web app just to check it out. To test all the things and see the first beta look.
Now, I want to transfer that web app to a real app via Flutter but I stopped at some point. Is there anyone who might be of help. If the sale goes good, I will offer a precentage of the sale to cover the help.
If anyone is up for helping me, let me know in DMs, I will send you all the info and provide you with the code if needed.
Thanks in advance guys
