What are your favorite iOS/iPadOS/macOS apps?

What are your favorite iOS/iPadOS/macOS apps? - Lemmy.world

I’m looking for new apps to try out. I have a soft spot for apps that are written in Swift or at least follow Apple’s HIG. I’m also curious to know what you use these apps for

Have you tried Mela?
I also propose adding some entries that were submitted early on [email protected]. Notably this entry: lemmy.world/post/1210044
Version 2 of my submission. What do you think? - Lemmy.world

Reddit (I know, he who shall not be named) is also a good place to find second hand items. r/appleswap is for specifically Apple products. Follow the same precautions that other people have said, and only pay in Paypal Goods & Services if you strike a deal with someone

[Feature Request] Compact mode for comments

[Feature Request] Compact mode for comments - Lemmy.world

I feel that comment section has too much excess space even with user logos, etc disabled. Compact mode for posts is perfect. I would love to have the same for comments. For comparison on my iPhone mini screen, 7 comments on Voyager fits in the space that 4 comments on Mlem does

I agree. These icons look a bit… unprofessional to be essentially part of the app’s brand. What I don’t understand is why the top community voted submission (by a wide margin) is not in the running. It looks cleaner than all 3 options IMO.

💅 Voyager icon design contest — Submissions thread - Lemmy.world

EDIT: NOW CLOSED! Thank you to everyone that entered! 💙 As part of the v1 launch, I’m hoping to adopt a new community-driven app icon! 🥰 As promised, here is the thread for your submissions! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with! NOTE: Please only post finalized submissions here! If you would like to workshop your submission with the community, feel free to make a separate thread. :) ### What do I win?? wefwef *ahem* Voyager is a free and open source project, so there isn’t a cash prize or anything. But, credit to you will be officially in the app settings and the Github repo readme! ### Submission deadline Submissions accepted NOW through July 16th, 10pm CT (depending on submission volume, may be extended). ### Selection process I will lock the thread after the submission window and nominate 3 icons (see below tips for what I’m looking for). I’ll take into account votes and comments from people. :) If there are very few submissions, I may extend the window to submit. Shortly after, I’ll create another thread for the community to vote to choose one of the final three! ### Tips - I encourage you to make the app icon FUN and colorful! Give the app a soul that reflects the community driven nature of Lemmy and the greater Fediverse. Icons using the display-p3 colorspace are encouraged. I love how an interconnected rainbow represents the Fediverse, and I’d love to see your personal artistic style :) - I am purposely allowing raster icons for this contest, because I think too many app icons look bland, generic and… well… corporate vector bleh. I love the fun style of these Fediverse illustrations by David Revoy: https://framablog.org/2022/12/08/framasoft-2022-a-casserole-cooked-up-thanks-to-you-thanks-to-your-donations/?print=print [https://framablog.org/2022/12/08/framasoft-2022-a-casserole-cooked-up-thanks-to-you-thanks-to-your-donations/?print=print] ### Rules Edited 2am CT Jul 10: Added rule against AI generated artwork - 3 submissions max per artist - 🆕 No AI generated art, please - Please, no submissions resembling the Apollo icon (sorry!) to respect Apollo’s app icon branding - For each submission, required assets: - (For contest submission) - Single 512x512 square PNG designed for iOS should be in your comment. (If you have an iOS device, I recommend this site to test [https://iosfeeds.com/tools/icon-preview]) - Optional sentence or two explaining your icon - (Upon being selected) - 1024x1024 PNG or SVG iOS app icon. - 1024x1024 PNG or SVG “maskable” variant for Android app icon. Tips here: https://web.dev/maskable-icon [https://web.dev/maskable-icon] - BONUS/OPTIONAL Splash screen image - Design a full screen app launch screen that is maskable to fit various device aspect ratios. This is totally optional. - Your work should be licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, or less restrictive. :)

I hate to say it but the options are a bit disappointing. They do look, for lack of a better term, amateurish for what will become the app’s brand. I wished the top voted submission from the original thread was considered

If you’re looking for a handheld emulator, I recommend looking into the Miyoo Mini Plus or Anbernic RG35XX. They’re more durable and have custom OS available so they’ll at least last you years longer than the cheapie ones that play NES games. Plus they play way more: NES, SNES, Gameboys, PS1, Genesis, etc.

MSRP on these are ~$50-60. However you can get them for as low as $25-30 if you’re willing to use TEMU. If you’re curious I can send you the info on how to get them.

Liftin (iOS, watchOS) is a new one I discovered recently. It feels like an extension of the Apple Workouts app geared towards strength training
