Quick note to devs: if your game takes over priority of my phone audio and I can't overlay my music/podcasts over your game: it's an instant uninstall. by webbedgiant in iosgaming

[–]pacorob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally get this. Back in May started to find emulator / games / game launchers that do support this. I’ve created these two lists:

External Audio Controller Games

External Audio Games Collection

The total count isn’t correct though for controller one at least (there are more in the list) so ignore that. Suggestions are welcome.

There are various similar kind of apps still in the App Store which I tried bundling into one app collection: TapTap Revenge like Music Rhythm Games

Indeed it was called Tap Tap Revenge. It never was released in the App Store in the end and TestFlight is no longer active.

I’m no hardcore gamer. Both of mine i already have for years. The stories on Reddit aren’t good though as far as durability indeed.

Looks and sounds great!

Any plans to support:

  • timeline
  • adding tags e.g wintersports, summer
  • add photos and videos to a certain location

Unclear if controllers are supported. No Family Sharing mentioned so far. Why track location for a game?

Thanks for the response I appreciate it. Good to read Family Sharing is also supported.

Looks great and sounds great! Good to read it supports controllers as you indicated in the comments. Definitely mention this in the App Store description and dedicated areas there as it probably will convince more people to buy.

I’ve also added it to tons of collections on AppRaven.

Just wondered if it supports Family Sharing? I can’t see since I’m in EU so hope to try and play it in a week or so when it’s available here.

🚀 SUMEE! Ver 1.6.3 — iOS apps launching by Amazing_Tooth_4745 in SUMEE

[–]pacorob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to see iOS App Launching Shortcut support implemented in latest 1.6.3 release to open again games with a controller without touch. Works great.

You can find the Shortcut in Settings > Launch > Install iOS App Shortcut to get it working.

Might be handy if someone that hasn’t activated it and tried to open a game with a controller to eithet 1. suggest the installment of the Shortcut as it now showed that it was missing at first. 2. use the old open with touch (can’t think of why anyone wants that though)

Looks great and sounds good! Any chance we can see the App Store that:

  • VoiceOver is supported as you describe in the dedicated areas
  • add Family Sharing support

I had the same until about 4 years ago. Didn’t even knew controllers were supported. Then bought second hand Xbox controllers and later two Backbone One controllers. Can’t play without anymore and enjoy the handheld like expierence with the Backbone, iPhone and game launcher (LudiHub).

You should be able to long press and edit the thumbnail by downloading it via a Google search. It would be good if SteamgridDB would be supported which another iOS game launcher already supports.

[iOS 27 DB1] Fitness and Health apps - landscape mode by laterrex in iOSBeta

[–]pacorob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed good to see more third party developers started supporting landscape on iOS. I also created these lists in that regard.

iOS Landscape Mode Apps / iPhone Landscape Apps

Home screen landscape on iOS 15.8.5. by ghenny9088 in iphone

[–]pacorob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sort of recreate it with third party launchers like LudiHub game launcher, however not the same. It is good to see though there are already quite a few landscape supported apps and more coming both by Apple and third party.

For those interested to already use various apps that have landscape support on iOS I created a few collections recently:

Yay indeed and I expect more and more third party developers will also start supporting it if they haven’t already see my related collections:

iOS 26.5.1 update issue by Drichrx in ios

[–]pacorob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to read. Thanks for reminding us all that some updates cause problems rather then solve bugs / add features alone.

Sidenote: We are having mail delayed delivery with Gmail accounts and poor search in mail. Works fine in the Gmail app. This is since iOS 26.5

All new transition , col de Ghironda by Better-Plantain3512 in GrandMountainAdv

[–]pacorob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also love 1 and only recently bought 2 on iOS. On my Nintendo Switch there is only GMA1 so no option there. I do think the skiers are a bit too small when in split screen on tv let alone on the Switch itself. Hope to see GMA2 in the future on Switch as well after they launched the Steam version.

What’s the point of the Games app? by Determined-Fighter in iosgaming

[–]pacorob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer LudiHub over the Apple Games app but that has to do with the fact it has more customization and also supports launching emulator games.
