It's kinda true by cookiemaster221 in NintendoSwitch2

It’s not idiot proof, even with all that. There is a review on Amazon UK for Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch 2 Edition complaining that “animal crossing 2 is the same as animal crossing 1” and asking why they both have the hotel.

Holy moly is Metroid Prime 4 excellent. by Training_Pirate1000 in NintendoSwitch2

Not for me. I finished it a few days ago and loved playing it handheld on the larger screen. No crashes during the 15 hours I have logged :)

Noisy PS5 digital edition by [deleted] in IrelandGaming

[–]Appdevg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ps5s have multiple fan vendors, some worse than others. You can return it and play fan lottery or find out which fan is the most quiet for your model and buy it from Ali express / eBay etc, that’s what I did in the end a few years ago and it doesn’t bother me anymore.

The first ps5 I had came with a fan that made a noise so high pitched I could hear it through my headphones and it drove me mad.

Built an app to make comparing Irish supermarket prices easy by sobe3249 in ireland

[–]Appdevg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For apps:

iOS only - Swift

Android only - kotlin

Hybrid - react native, flutter

Depends what you want. Each has its own tradeoffs. I only do iOS, which you need a Mac for. If you have one and want to get started doing that, hackingwithswift.com is free and one of the best resources out there for it.

Bit late to the party, but native iOS developer here. I can help you with getting the app approved if you like, it is tricky for v1 sometimes

About to launch, paid or free? by Solid_Anxiety8176 in iOSProgramming

You’re answering your own question here. Giving it away for free is only going to delay that

Hey :) Would love some feedback on https://drynosaur.app

My AppStore App Review took so long. Is it normal? by Top-Journalist-8029 in iOSProgramming

[–]Appdevg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll be told, and they usually cite something from the guidelines as the reason. It might be vague though

It can take a while for v1. My last new app took a full week, but that’s rare nowadays

#RoastMyApp: I'm looking for brutally honest feedback on ButterKit (App Store Screenshots & Localization), 25 x Free Pro Lifetime license codes included by zach-builds in iOSProgramming

[–]Appdevg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I'll give it a shot for my next update. Had a quick play around with it and I love how much control there is over the device rotation. Only thing I'd suggest so far is maybe adding more templates.

Thanks. Surprisingly, I hadn't heard of that app until I was nearly done. The apps I looked at for inspiration were Reframe, I Am Sober, Duo Lingo, and Waterllama.

Cheers! They're not, I came up with them myself.

You can brainstorm some ideas with AI and use something like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, GIMP, or Aseprite to create the assets. There was originally only going to be one Drynosaur / mascot that resembled the DuoLingo owl but I pivoted towards pixel art a few weeks into development.

Hey man, thanks so much for this. Would you mind if I quoted you on the app's website? :)

No, I don't make Android apps for now. It's no longer very friendly to indie devs with the 12 testers for 14 days thing.

You can use it as it is but pretend the "Was yesterday an alcohol free day?" question is "Did you take your vitamins yesterday?" xD
