I haven't seen any new app store analytics data since May 1. I updated screenshots and added new features. However, the data hasn't been updated for 3/4 days now.

Is anyone else facing similar issues?

I use cloud storage. I like the convenience.

But after years of photos and videos piling up, I started asking myself:

Why does my second copy also need to live in someone else's cloud?

Sometimes I just want to plug a drive into my iPhone and keep a physical copy that I control.

That's why I built VaultDrive: USB Backup.

Connect a compatible USB drive or SSD directly to your iPhone, select the photos, videos, albums, files or documents you want, and copy them to the drive.

No Mac required.
No PC required.
No VaultDrive account required.

For photos and files already stored locally on the iPhone, the transfer goes directly to your connected USB drive. VaultDrive doesn't upload those files to its own cloud.

And if you use Optimize iPhone Storage and some full-resolution originals exist only in iCloud, VaultDrive can download those originals through Apple's system first and then copy them to the USB drive.

You can choose:

• Wi-Fi only for iCloud downloads
• Wi-Fi + Cellular

It also preserves the original files without intentional compression/re-encoding and keeps embedded photo/video metadata.

I don't see this as a replacement for iCloud, Google Photos, OneDrive, etc.

Cloud sync is incredibly convenient.

I see it as something much simpler:

Cloud for convenience + a physical second copy for control.

Especially for family photos and videos I don't want existing in only one place.

VaultDrive is free to download, with a one-time Pro upgrade for unlimited backup rather than a recurring Pro subscription.

For the people here who use several TB of cloud storage:

Do you also keep an offline copy of your important photos, or is cloud storage currently your only copy?

Hey everybody. I built this simple ios app called StackRead

I kept running into Instagram posts that are just Substack recommendation lists. "10 newsletters that will make you smarter," that kind of thing. I would save them, tell myself I would read them later, and then never open them. After a while I had a load of these in my saved posts and nothing I had actually read.

So I built StackRead. You share one of those posts into the app, or paste the link, and it turns the recommendations into a reading list with clickable links and a daily reminder so the articles actually get read.

The app has been on the App Store for about a week but with only five downloads and zero subscriptions I'm a bit worried the app is too niche or that I'm doing something wrong. I would appreciate any feedback, whether it's something with the screenshots, the onboarding or just any general advice on growing this app. Thanks in advance.

I'm giving 20 people a free 1-year membership in exchange for blunt feedback on the first week.

Monni is an iOS money brief for people who want a lighter weekly check-in instead of a full budgeting system.

Best fit:

• you use or used Mint, Monarch, YNAB, Simplifi, spreadsheets, or mental math
• you want a clearer "what's safe to spend this week?" view
• you're okay telling me what feels confusing or untrustworthy

DM me if you want one. I'll reply asking for the email to grant access to, then manually add the free year.

Please don't post your email publicly, and don't send balances, screenshots, account numbers, addresses, passwords, or private financial details. High-level workflow feedback is enough.

I may be biased because I'm the founder of Monni.io.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on an app called Eatper and wanted to share it here.

I made it because I was frustrated with how many food tracking apps have ads everywhere or put the features I wanted behind a paywall. I wanted something you could use every day without having to pay for a subscription to get value out of it.

Eatper has no ads. There’s a free plan for everyday tracking and an optional paid plan for more detailed reports. I wanted the free version to feel useful on its own.

You can track calories, protein, carbs and fat, scan barcodes, save your own recipes and log your weight. If you eat the same meals regularly, you can copy a meal or a whole day instead of entering everything again. You can set your own nutrition targets, too.

There’s also meal planning and shared shopping lists. You can invite your partner, family or a friend, plan meals together and keep track of what’s in the pantry and when it expires. Your personal food diary, weight and targets stay private unless you choose to share access.

The free plan includes the food diary, nutrition targets, weight tracking and recent progress views. Premium adds longer-term trends, comparisons, more detailed insights, full report history and PDF/CSV exports. Prices are shown in the app.

It’s available on both iPhone and Android:

iPhone / iPad

Android

If you give it a try, let me know how it goes. I’d especially like to hear if something is annoying to use or a food you normally buy is missing. That kind of feedback helps me figure out what to work on next.

I'm Alperen, co-founder of iz. We're building an iOS and Android app that connects photos, notes, songs and book memories to real places, so you can revisit them on a map.

The positioning question I'm working on: the map explains how it works, but does it explain why someone would want it?

I'm considering three opening messages:

A. Your memories, back where they happened.

B. Save the song that takes you back to that cafe.

C. Turn your travels into a personal memory map.

A is broader, B gives one emotional example, and C is easy to understand but may make it sound useful only while travelling. The next screenshot could show one saved memory at a place, before showing a whole map.

For anyone marketing a consumer app: which would you test first, and what would you expect the second screenshot to explain? I'd also love to hear if the concept still sounds like extra work compared with a camera roll.

Product context, if useful: https://iz.city/en/ (our app; free to download with optional in-app purchases). I'm looking for honest positioning feedback, rather than claiming any growth results.

Hello there!
I’m a solo developer working on an app named “Motivate”, Since the last giveaway went really well i’d like to make another one for everyone to give my app a try.

I built Motivate because I wanted something simple that would inspire me, track how I feel, and provide a private space to write about it. Because Life moves quickly, some days are heavier than they look, and often we forget to take care of ourselves because of the countless responsibilities we have. Between managing our time with work, school, and showing up for the people that need us, while keeping the small stutt to ourselves because we're scared of being too much, or just being scared of being judged. All of us need something to remind, inspire, and check on us.

What's inside:
Quotes: Daily inspiration that gives you new perspective on life, based on people's experience and struggles in the past.

Daily Reflection: Daily check-ins on how you feel, to make you realize how you've been doing, it gives you insight and tips on what to do next.

Journal: Your private place to write your thoughts, experiences, and struggles.

Forum: A community where you can ask for advice, or just share your experience with other people.

Chatbot: Have a one on one private conversation about your life and experience

Sooooo, I’ve decided to create an app based on a real problem.

The one I found is AI-generated video being used as evidence in different kinds of fraud—from personal sales of small goods and returns to insurance fraud. So I looked into how the process works right now. To make sure video evidence is authentic, companies currently need to send you a verification link (like TruePic), which isn’t very convenient because it basically makes the process synchronous. So I think that if I can remove this step from the chain, it could be a good idea: you’d be able to capture something whenever you want and send a link to the capture afterward.

But how do you know the video isn’t generated and was actually filmed live?

My solution:

Three things, all in the same session.

• App Attest. The capture can only start from the real app on a real iPhone. Apple attests the app, so you can’t open a laptop, generate a clip, and upload it as if you filmed it.
• The camera never cuts. When you finish the shot you actually wanted, recording doesn’t stop. The verification is the next part of the same file. There’s no gap where a generated clip could be spliced in.
• A path you can’t know in advance**.** After the main footage, the server gives you a camera path one point at a time. You only get the next point after you reach the current one. You have to move the phone through the real space around the thing you filmed, and the motion sensors have to match what the camera sees. A pre-rendered or AI-generated clip of one angle can’t do that, because the route didn’t exist until you were already recording.

At this moment, I honestly don’t know what to do with this app, but I hope it can be useful to people (or at least my non-stop camera approach).

Feel free to check out the app and give me some feedback. The app is free.

I shared an early version here a couple of days ago. Since then, PicPop 1.0.5 is live with screenshot, blurry-photo and large-video cleanup alongside similar-shot review. I wanted the demo to show the part I care about most: swipe to queue, review your picks, then confirm. Nothing is deleted before confirmation, and scanning stays on the iPhone.

I’m the developer. PicPop is free to download; full access is through paid PicPop Club ($4.99/month, $24.99/year with a 3-day trial, or $59.99 lifetime in the US).

If your camera roll is a mess, what piles up fastest for you: screenshots, similar shots, blurry photos, or big videos?
