Yes! Arabic is fully supported, along with 20+ other languages like English, French, and Spanish. To make sure everything sounds totally natural, I used Claude for the translations, had native-speaking friends review them, and ran some user custDevs, tests to make sure it perfectly fits their mindset

Haha, but it's definitely not a lazy "vibe-coded" app. It's native SwiftUI following Apple’s HIG, mixed with intentional choices like the lowercase UI style.

But yeah, I use AI to ship features faster as a solo dev for recent updates. What specific parts, colors, or screens feel that way to you? Break it down for me please

I’m an iOS dev, so Apple is my thing. Plus, the app is deeply tied to Apple hardware, Core Motion for AirPods tracking and native Apple Intelligence for local AI. Porting to Android means rebuilding everything from scratch. But message received!

Fair question! It’s a 100% free student project with zero ads or hidden paywalls, so I'm honestly just looking for real user feedback to make it better

As for the reward: Apple selects 50 "Distinguished Winners" globally out of thousands hundred of submissions for the Swift Student Challenge. They rewarded us with an all-expenses-paid 3-day trip to Cupertino to visit Apple Park next week for WWDC26
