I might be almost to a 1.0 with Apex already, but I'm sure there are plenty of edge cases I'm missing. I need more testers! If you’re a Markdown user familiar with the command line, I'd love for you to battle test it on your own Markdown.

Is there any way to disable the animation in button/tab bars on #iOS26? I currently have Reduce Transparency, Increase Contrast, and Reduce Motion enabled, but those don't seem to do anything.

I feel like if I spent tons of time, I might get several apps to be usable, but nothing so far seems like a worthwhile upgrade.

There appears to be no way to get rid of the disorienting moving magnifying glass effect of switching between tabs, for example in the Phone app or Photos or the App Store. Apparently that doesn’t count as motion or transparency.

Some of the effects actually just stop working if your phone has to many apps open or they’re using too much memory (especially in Safari).

There’s nothing that makes me want to upgrade the iPhone I actually still use. (3/3)
