I recently got my Iphone 14 pro and have started downloading apps and realized moat of the apps I used on Android either they don't exist in the IOS environment or they work differently.
Hence I summon the fellow members of this community with experience on using Iphone, what apps do you consider must haves and what do they do?
I appreciate it if you also recommend games or not so known apps
+1 for Apollo for Reddit.
Overlook for weather.
Timescroller to plan conference calls with other time zones.
Squirrelit for tickets and travel stuff.
Citymapper for public transportation.
Also, what do you use your phone for? I have iConnectHue for controlling my lights, Duolinguo for studying language, Paprika for collecting and organizing recipes and Logic Remote for music composition. I'm sure, depending on your interests, lots of folks can recommend good apps.
mmmm. duolinguo
I use it to test apps 😅😅 apps I myself develop
Firefox focus simply for the Safari content blocker extension
Halide should only be used by people who know what they’re doing. For the average joe taking average pictures, they’re better off with Apple’s computational photography working its magic.
Everyone is different of course but for me my top 10 must haves:
It also has background play with the screen turned off.
Do you mind sharing your opener settings I can’t seem to get it to work.
I didn't make any changes to the settings but here you go. If you just installed it you may need to restart your phone. https://i.imgur.com/vNS5VGA.png
No problem
I hated Apollo for Reddit.
Can I ask what differences there is or what makes Apollo better than the actual Reddit app itself?
One of my favorites is Flightradar24, granted it’s not exactly useful but I like being able to identify aircraft and their specifications.
Does it save login info? I use FireFox Focused to block ads, but it's basically an incognito browser with built-in ad blocking.
I use the Shortcuts app for a few things:
Set my phone to dark mode when using Apple Music(coming from Spotify where it's dark only)
Generate a QR code so I can more easily share my home and office WiFi with people(something Android does natively and I wish iOS could do also).
Automatically turn off Do Not Disturb when my alarm goes off in the morning(I know there's a sleep feature, but I don't want to use Apple's Health app for this)
I'm new to the iPhone so I'm sure I'll find more useful things as time goes on.
I was not a fan either. I use ReddPlanet instead. You can turn off ads without the pro version. The only thing I found it was missing was push notifications on the free version.
I love Edison Mail. Been using since I was on Android when I discovered how unreliable my push notifications were. Never had that issue again with Edison.
Focos Live for cinematic mode on older iPhones
Apollo - Best reddit app I've tried.
Calendars 5 - So good for the month view.
GraphNCalc83 - TI-83 calculator is so much better than the stock calculator.
Voice memos - Stock app great for recording music ideas.
1Writer - Good for editing plaintext or markdown files.
Microsoft To Do - My favorite todo app. Used to be Wunderlist until they were acquired by MS.
Lose It! - Great app for calorie counting or tracking macros.

Calendar 5 > Google Calendar
Things 3 for tasks or reminders
LOVE overcast!
Literally everything is better for me.
The official Reddit app is terrible imo.
Apollo is fast, customizable, always quick to adop new iOS features, and just an awesome experience all around.
I just wish it had an android app so I could use it fully cross platform like pocket casts.
LMAO, it’s $30. Google Calendar is free.
yes, it does save login info, highly recommended this browser
Apollo locks it behind a monthly subscription of $9.99!! Or a lifetime purchase of $50. It’s what I dislike about this app, otherwise it’s perfect for me.
Kinda miss Reddit is Fun on android :(
+1 for PocketCasts
It’s only $9.99 a year, not monthly. I think it’s totally reasonable given the cost of providing notifications.
It's not free when they sell your data to everyone that wants it.
You can try Apollo, and grow your pet over a dynamic island.
If you want to watch everything without ads, use AdBlocker.
Thanks! I’ll give it a try then!
On Android, my favorite Reddit client is Infinity. Nice clean interface with no ads and it runs smooth unlike the official Reddit app.
Can you share your shortcut for creating wifi qr code?
Whoops. And not for me. Reddit is Fun had them for free so that's just the standard I was used to. I already paid $5 for the premium Apollo.
I'm sure there are reasons for it being paid; doesn't mean I have to like it.
