UPDATE 11/29/23: Made the whole app with premium features free for now. Will work on building a better kids app and adding to the educational and entertainment value for kids.

If anyone has any feedback, please let me know on how I can improve. Thanks for taking the time.

Thank you to those who already emailed me. I realized it's best to make this free for now and source as much feedback as possible.

Thanks everyone for their honest thoughts - especially those who gave feedback that was constructive and actionable.

Here are some resources I took a look at that helped me get jumpstarted that are helpful: https://www.youtube.com/c/iOSAcademy, https://www.hackingwithswift.com/read/36/overview, https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS

Also, unrelated to iOS, but I love Designing Intensive Data Systems by Martin Klepman. Is very helpful for designing large scale software including iOS.

Added more ways to access premium feature

  • 3 day free monthly trial ($.99 monthly fee)

Thank you to those who mentioned about price. I appreciate it.

Why is apple being held to a higher standard than other tech companies? in c/apple@hardware.watch
[–] juxtaposition0617@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah Apple prices everything - literally everything 3-5x more than everyone else. For example their developer license costs $99 compared to $25 for Google’s developer license. They also take a fat cut from developer in app sales.

They should be held to a higher standard IMO. 100% agree.

The new iOS 17 notification sound is quieter, and there’s no way to change it back in c/apple@hardware.watch

Hi everyone,

Happy Holidays and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate.

I'm a new app developer and started learning iOS a month ago. I've been trying to make an app every 2-3 days on something I'm passionate or interested in. Recently, I wanted to make was a fun kids friendly app for my cousins.

Recently, I've been spending a lot of time improving this app to be more engaging for kids.

I'm always looking for ways to improve the experience so feel free to give me any sorts of criticism / feedback. I am currently working on adding more audios for animal as well as adding an audio description for each animal. Also, tinkering around with the Rive framework to make more engaging visuals for kids.

Let me know what you think!

Please take a look and let me know what you think! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discover-animal-sounds/id6471942184

Thank you!

Here are some updates I'm working on that should be released in a few weeks:

  • Interactive Animal Animations - "play with [x] animal which will make [x, y, z] sound depending on movement"
  • More Animals + variety of sounds

(Accidentally posted this on Saturday instead of Sunday so deleted that one and reposting again)

Yeah we really need these antitrust reforms - just look up how many / what subsidiaries Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. own. For example, Microsoft owns GitHub (biggest market share for CI / CD platform) and basically owns OpenAI (biggest market share for GPTs / AI).

That's crazy... Do they have like a simple mechanism to detect this like if < .001ms?
