What’s your ratings / downloads ratio in your apps?
As we all know, ratings and reviews play a huge role in ranking higher on the App Store. So what are your best practices to gain more reviews organically?

Localizing apps can be really exhausting. Do you have any tips or tricks for producing localized screenshots and metadata for your apps?
So far, I’ve been using Figma and manually translating and inserting all the different titles for each language.

Lock screen widgets are finally coming to Quitly!
I’ve heard mixed opinions about whether it’s beneficial to see something you’re trying to quit, but as I realized, for many people it can be motivating to see their progress they’re proud of. What do you think?

Any native German speakers here? I’d love to hear a feedback on the German App Store screenshot texts.
I used GPT for the translation, but I’m not sure if it sounds natural enough.
What do you think? (I also attached the English version for reference and context.)

Hey guys, does anyone know the best way to get device orientation updates in SwiftUI, even when the user has locked the orientation on their iPhone?
I’m trying to achieve the same effect as the native Camera app, where icons rotate despite the device's orientation being locked. 🤷♂️

Collapsing header animation in one of my apps made with SwiftUI.
Header is animated using GeometryReader, allowing it to shrink as you scroll. Both the header and ScrollView are embedded in a ZStack, aligned to the top.

Do you use onboarding screens?
I believe onboarding should be quick and straight to the point, providing a chance to make a great first impression on the user.
Simple onboarding with subtle animations using SwiftUI.
