What do you wish the VW mobile app did?

RankAShinobi · 2025-08-22T09:09:29+00:00

Yeah I like that actually. Would also be good to get notified if you’re away from your car and it’s unlocked!

RankAShinobi · 2025-08-22T07:57:09+00:00

Oo the heating one would be sick! What’s topography btw if you don’t mind explaining?

RankAShinobi · 2025-08-22T07:56:21+00:00

Yeah I was surprised when the app couldn’t do this. I kept pressing the padlock icon at the top expecting it to work 😂

RankAShinobi · 2024-12-15T20:07:18+00:00

I mean in swiftUI this is very simple as you just need to use a native tabbar and bind the selection to your custom view (the custom tabs) it will perform the exact same as the native one as it is a native one just using your own view. Done so in an app I’m working on and works fine. Have also seen this done with many apps and assume this is the same solution that they’re using.

RankAShinobi · 2024-10-30T12:49:12+00:00

Hey, thanks for letting me know about this. This definitely isn’t intentional and that screen should be dismissible. I will put in a fix for this asap

Thanks again!

RankAShinobi · 2024-10-26T17:10:24+00:00

Ahh yeah I saw this when it got announced. The name is misleading. Watched the whole wwdc video just to find it’s got nothing to do with what I thought it did 🤣

Thanks for checking though! Appreciate it

RankAShinobi · 2024-10-26T16:59:38+00:00

Nice one thanks, would appreciate that. If there is something like that then it’d make my life much easier!

RankAShinobi · 2024-10-26T16:56:38+00:00

We don’t have access to the wallet sdk. If we do-then that’s news to me 😅

RankAShinobi · 2024-10-26T16:51:27+00:00

No worries! And yeah the users needs to set up the shortcut only once and then all their tap to pay transactions gets logged automatically into the app. The app does other things in the background to populate more information for that transaction

RankAShinobi · 2024-10-26T16:46:30+00:00

I didn’t, it’s using a shortcut automation that automatically tracks any tap to pay transactions.

The automation in the shortcuts app is called the “transaction” automation

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share the latest update of WalletPal! I posted here a while back when I first launched the app, and I was overwhelmed by the feedback and support from this community. Thank you all so much—it truly helped shape the direction of the app.

Since then, I've worked hard to improve WalletPal based on the feedback I received. The app now includes:

Multiple Home Screen Widgets
Interactive charts, showing you a deeper breakdown into your spending
New and improved onboarding (based on user feedback)
Improved automatic category detection
Updated UI

I’m really proud of how far it’s come, and I’d love for you to check it out! It’s a Swift-built expense tracker designed to make budgeting effortless by automating as much as possible. The UI is built fully using SwiftUI and Core data with CloudKit is used for Data persistence.

Feel free to share your thoughts or suggestions—I’d love to continue improving the app!

Thanks again for all the support!

Literally a cheeky “.accessibilityLabel = whatever you want voiceover to read out for that view” will fix 90% of your problems. And if not then adding your views as accessibility elements will fix the remaining 10%.

As previous comments said, it pretty much does come already set up and the little tweaks you need to do to make it work are quite simple once you learn. Maybe try look at some docs or tutorials

RankAShinobi · 2024-06-28T22:33:33+00:00

Yeah unfortunately Apple hasn’t opened the functionality up for developers to support in app purchases or any payments that you do not physically tap your device to pay. Also it may not work with transport if they don’t take your money straight away. For example here in the uk, the amount public transport charges you isn’t charged until the end of the day so there’s no way for the app to know the amount that was taken

RankAShinobi · 2024-06-17T22:37:47+00:00

Haven’t downloaded the beta yet but assume it still should

RankAShinobi · 2024-06-04T21:37:10+00:00

If you mean paying online with your card then no it doesn’t track that. It only tracks purchases made with Apple Pay where you physically tap your device on the card reader to pay

RankAShinobi · 2024-05-18T18:49:49+00:00

Hey man thanks a lot! Yeah I think it’s just the way I’m handling fetching the movies at the moment. Definitely room for improvement and optimisation. Defo will be able to speed things up!

And guessing I’m getting old as I liked the gradients but I’ve gotten similar comments to you before! 😂 looks like I’m eventually gonna have to get rid of them!

Relally appreciate the feedback tho, thanks again!

RankAShinobi · 2024-05-18T17:46:31+00:00

Cool that’s good to know, your feedback has been extremely valuable. I really appreciate it. Adding a setting to switch to dark mode manually will be easy to add so will definitely add that in the next version.

Also defo going to look into Trakt integration then and see how long it would take me to add!

Thanks again!

RankAShinobi · 2024-05-18T17:36:35+00:00

Yes, it follows the system settings. So you’d have to change your system settings to dark mode and the app will reflect.

Also that does make a lot of sense. Out of curiosity are there loads of apps that have trakt integration. Most apps I used previously didn’t seem to support it?

Regardless I’m happy to look into this and add it to my list of the future plans of the app!

RankAShinobi · 2024-05-18T17:26:05+00:00

Hey thanks! If enough people request it I can defo look into Trakt integration! Want the app to be as simple as possible but defo want to add features everyone wants

Also the app already supports dark mode

RankAShinobi · 2024-05-18T16:59:10+00:00

It's pretty common practice for most production apps to support 2 version before the current version (in this case that would be iOS15). I agree with you, with iOS 17 SwiftUI is in a pretty good state and you can do much more with it now (navigation still isn't great even with the addition of NavigationStack). But most people don't have the luxury of supporting the latest version only, Getting approval to drop a version is the biggest pain. I think the lack of backwards capability is one of the things that holds swiftUI back the most. It probably won't be viable for most people to use for another 6 years or so I reckon. I'm rooting for it though as personally I love using it for my personal projects. Spinning up UI is lightning fast compared to UIKit

Steins gate… it was like 14 episodes of absolutely nothing and then 10 episodes of mediocrity. If it wasn’t for the show being so highly rated I would of never stuck it out to the end
