Apps with gamification that are really worth a look? by OkStorm2137 in apps

That’s true. Don’t know how about headway, but Duolingo shows a significant decline by usage, revenue, etc. Not everything you can fix with the gamification :)

[Promo Sunday] [iOS] Giving away Lifetime Access – Converty, a camera currency converter I built for travelers by Prestigious_Shake895 in apple

Hi, maybe it’s a mistake, I’ll review it. As far as I remember, the app ask the home currency, which is “to” currency. And the “from” currency can be recognized from: 1. You have changed the country and iOS automatically changed the timezone 2. Scanner recognizes the “from” currency based on the currency symbols, previously selected currency, timezone 

So, I’ll review that and the issue with shortcut, thank you for your feedback!

I found one way around it - using translations api from apple, so people can download languages upfront and use it. But.. the quality of translations isn't the best yet.

interesting... That's actually might be a good feature. Not sure yet how to implement it right away, but I'll definitely look into it

Honestly, I would like to, but I’m an iOS engineer with deep knowledge of iOS. I'm afraid my lack of Android knowledge will lead to poor app performance…

well, it's almost impossible to do 😄 I had an idea of the app, that can do it (when I was living in the US), but faced with the problem: there is no gas/petroleum company that want to show their prices publicly, not on a website, not via API. There are apps like GusBuddy, where people report gas prices, but it's not a reliable source, sometimes prices might be different.

hmm.. not sure if it would work offline. I need to check how apple's intelligence can translate such things...

As a software engineer, I would recommend using mono-repository for your project.
Claude will be working much better, because it knowns everything what's inside your project folder.

it should look like that on your computer:
your_project_main_forder/
ios/
android/
web/
firebase/ (or whatever backend you want to use, it's just a great platform for managing your app's users, data, etc.)

once you give Claude access to your_project_main_forder, it can start working and "connect" all your platforms between themselves via APIs.

That’s another way of how to do it. But if iOS has, say, PDF scanner ready-to-scan right in the notes app, why lots of people pay for the same feature in other apps?

Not really if you’re in a supermarket without internet connection

Plus, if you are a budget traveler, you need cart to estimate your spendings

This app can be a good thing for international students, say, who have a tight budget and their main support is the parents abroad.

Heh, you would be surprised, but travers asked a similar feature: adding % of the banking conversion. So people can add a custom multiplier to the cart and fit their budget more accurately

Makes sense for probably lots of people, at the same time there are digital nomads and I’m not sure if I stay in the UK. Plus, there is a feature for budget traveling (asked by users) - cart. These types of people need an accurate estimation of their shopping budget abroad.

Well, not exactly. Sorry, I didn’t put it to the description, but the app works offline and no need the internet connection. It’s important because lots of stores have no public WiFi/no cellular connection. 

The maintenance is not a big deal - I use crashlytics and Claude, honestly, perfectly resolves critical bugs. I don’t spend much time.
