I’m looking for new apps to try out. I have a soft spot for apps that are written in Swift or at least follow Apple’s HIG. I’m also curious to know what you use these apps for!

Paprika? Or other good Recipe apps? in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

Have you tried Mela?

Would love to see this selection grow based on the many entries we saw earlier in c/voyagerapp@lemmy.world

[Feature Request] Compact mode for comments (lemmy.world)
 

I feel that comment section has too much excess space even with user logos, etc disabled. Compact mode for posts is perfect. I would love to have the same for comments.

For comparison on my iPhone mini screen, 7 comments on Voyager fits in the space that 4 comments on Mlem does

I hate to say it but the options are a bit disappointing. I wish the top community upvoted submission was considered:

Handheld Gaming Consoles Will Soon Require Replaceable Batteries in c/news@lemmy.world

If you’re looking for a handheld emulator, I recommend the Miyoo Mini+ or Anbernic RG35XX. They’ll last you years longer than the cheapie ones that play NES games since they have community custom firmware. Plus they play way more: NES, SNES, Gameboys, PS1, Genesis, etc.

MSRP on these are ~$50-60. However you can get them for as low as $25-30 if you use Chinese sites like TEMU. If you’re curious I can send you more info

What's your favorite third-party app that feels native to iOS/Android? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Lemuroid and Libretube are good examples. I personally think they’re beautiful and match great with stock (Google) Android Material Design

Liftin (iOS, watchOS) is a new one I discovered recently. It looks and feels like an extension of the Apple Workouts app geared towards strength training

It seems that many popular mobile apps nowadays have their own design language. I like uniformity between my apps so I greatly respect when an app developer takes the care to design their app to follow their OS Human Interface Guidelines. For example, apps like Apollo (and wefwef/Voyager for Lemmy) rose to popularity partly due to looking and feeling like native iOS app
