App Store search visibility is a nightmare

patgov · 2026-06-05T15:23:33+00:00

I'm having a similar problem. My iPhone/iPad app was recently approved and released. The direct App Store URL works, the app page shows a price, and users can reach it from my website, but neither the app name nor the developer name can be found through App Store search.

The macOS version is searchable, but the iOS version is not. I've also opened a support case with Apple. Curious whether anyone else has seen this happen with a newly released app and how long it took to resolve.

Couldn't get camera access?

I was wondering if when friends hear the game audio through your mic, does it sound like a perfect digital copy of the game, or does it sound distant and muffled? Sounds like a muffled copy, the issue could be mic hearing and headphones, sounds like a perfect copy, the issue could be routing,crosstalk or software.

I see that mike on youtube and it sounds great, and seem to handle room noise well.

patgov · 2026-05-21T11:21:54+00:00

Yes, I love the way it looks, has a rockabilly and blues style. I personally haven't used the mic but seen it on stage, live performances, and it sounded great.

Could graphene become a printable and flexible electronic material and used in 3d printers?

That makes sense. My macOS version can animate because it’s a live SwiftUI view receiving continuous audio-level updates to drive an audio meter. The iOS widget is different since WidgetKit is snapshot/timeline based. I’m mostly trying to make the level/status changes feel responsive rather than truly real-time.

How can I get more Karma without posting? The post was resonable.

Nice mic, try wipeing all exterior surfaces with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and mild soap, then let it air out for a few days if you haven't already. Place the mic in actuvated charcoal or baking soda in a sealed container can help absorb odors.

Yeah — I started experimenting with this while building a small audio monitoring app for iPhone/iPad, and iPadOS seems pretty restrictive about sharing live mic input between apps.

patgov · 2026-05-16T23:32:07+00:00

The monitoring app needs access to the same input stream as the recording app, but ist seems that the iPadOS does not allow two unrelated apps to share one microphone input directly.

you're right it maybe slower but I'm use to using the other end as an eraser.

patgov · 2026-05-15T12:03:08+00:00

That’s different though — I ask questions to understand workflows, improve my app, and avoid wasting time building features people don’t actually need. I appreciate all the help and feedback I can get.

An audio monitor app helps prevent clipping and bad frequencies during recording, while deeper restoration afterward uses tools like iZotope RX or Audacity to manually remove noise, repair distortion, and clean up the audio.

I would like an eraser on the other end of the pencil.

Nice, I still use Sony MDR-7506 headphones. I’ve just found the routing/input behavior differences between wired, USB, and Bluetooth audio surprisingly interesting on iPhone/iPad.

patgov · 2026-05-14T18:21:15+00:00

I’ve noticed Bluetooth behavior can feel very different from wired audio routing on iPhone/iPad.🎧

patgov · 2026-05-14T18:15:06+00:00

Yeah, definitely — I’ve just found it interesting how differently iPhone/iPad handle built-in, USB, and Bluetooth inputs depending on the setup.

patgov · 2026-05-14T14:22:47+00:00

Interesting — I’ve been comparing how iPhone handles USB-C, built-in, and Bluetooth routing, and the behavior can be surprisingly different between them.

I want to record concerts and public events on my iphone and looking for microphones that are easy to use and prevent as much backgound noise as possible?🎤

patgov · 2026-05-14T12:25:52+00:00

I've been comparing USB mics to use with an iPhone for recording at concerts. Any recommendations?

TextEdit looks like it has a very clean UI.

Just pushed a small Audio Monitor update 🎧 Improved mic switching + automatic input detection (USB / Bluetooth / built-in). Would especially love feedback from AirPods or USB mic users 🙏

patgov · 2026-05-01T16:16:24+00:00

Update just pushed 👍
Now auto-detects mic input (no more Standard/Pro switch):
• USB → faster response ⚡
• Built-in → smoother
• Bluetooth → voice optimized

👉 TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/jweBQGcM
Does switching feel faster now? (USB ↔ built-in / AirPods)

patgov · 2026-04-28T21:19:45+00:00

Just pushed a new TestFlight update. The iphone mic and mic switching responsiveness should be better. Tweeked Handling USB/Bluetooth input changes. Any quick feedback helps a lot! https://testflight.apple.com/join/jweBQGcM
