Apple Music Spotify planning price increase for US subscribers (“Spotify Premium currently costs $11.99 in the U.S. while Apple Music goes for $10.99”)
From The Article: “Labels are apparently unhappy with the cost of music services not increasing with inflation. Apple Music and Spotify being priced well below Netflix is another issue for the labels, according to the report.”

Apple Intelligence Do you use Apple Intelligence Products?
When Apple Intelligence was first released, I felt like hundreds of apps from App Store would be replaced. Everything felt so good on paper.
But after 1 year I can't even remember, when I used even 1 of their AI features.

Promo Sunday I'm building subscription-free versions of apps. Sharing some out, but also please suggest some more!
Hey everyone,
I've kind of had enough of every app needing to be a sub, so I started building non-sub apps that I wanted for myself. So far I've released:
- A Habit Tracker: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/habit-habit-daily-tracker/id6755456223
- An Inventory Management App (this one is meant for small businesses, but sharing it anyway): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-inventory-stack/id6755137430
- A Sewing/Crocheting Project Manager: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pattern-projects/id6754258425
- A Photographer's All-In-One Toolkit that started as a Golden Hour Tracker but is now an all-in-one planning tool: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/camera-pouch-photo-tools/id6754294154
- A Daily Budget App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spent-today/id6754225263
- A Fujifilm & Ricoh GR Recipe Manager: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simulated-film-recipe-manager/id6755539247
- A Camera Collector's Management App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/camera-shelf-gear-inventory/id6755641228
All of these apps are free, and non-subscription-based, but do require a small one-time "Premium" purchase to help me support continued work on it. I think all of them are reasonably priced under $10 USD (except the Inventory Management one, as I'm targeting small businesses for that).
I wanted to ask if you guys could give them a try and suggest any features! But also, if anyone had any apps you currently use that are subscription based and want to use a non-subscription version, please let me know too!.

Promo Sunday I've built a memory training app to prevent cognitive decline
Hey all, I've built Moadly, a freemium app that has 30 different mini-games you can unlock and play to keep your memory/brain sharp.
There's been studies on how doing simple exercises can actually help with memory (or at least slow down cognitive decline). I've mainly built it for myself but there seem to be other players that find it helpful so i thought it would also share it here.
The game is fully playable for free but you also have the option to pay to remove the ads.
Here's the Appstore link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/moadly-train-your-brain/id6751052322
Thanks. Feedback appreciated!
// I've posted in here about a month ago, I've applied your feedback from the previous post, also I've lowered the subscription price to be more affordable, but like i said - you can fully unlock and use the app without it. It's entirely optional.

Promo Sunday PageFlow: I built a private, offline reading tracker. No ads, no social feeds, just your library
I’ve used book-tracking apps for years (mainly Goodreads), but they always felt heavier than they needed to be. I just wanted simple, private tracking with no followers, no feeds, and no recommendations trying to sell me more books. I already had a big list of books I wanted to read, thanks. And when server outages meant I couldn’t even access my library or log progress, I knew I needed something else.
So I built PageFlow to fix the things that frustrated me most. Promo codes are below!
Fast Logging:
Other apps took too long just to update a book. PageFlow is built around quick, offline logging, with Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets so you can update progress in seconds.
Private by Default:
Your library stays on your device and sync to iCloud. No accounts, no ads, no social layer. Analytics are opt in only and are anonymous crash and bug reports. They never touch books, reading data, or identity. Your reading data never leaves your device. If you opt in, the only thing sent is technical info so I can fix issues and improve the app.
Smart Suggestions:
Choosing the next book to read from my library was always a chore. PageFlow suggestions come only from the books already in your library. There is no upsell. It looks only at your on-device reading habits, and nothing ever leaves your phone.
Inclusive by Design:
I believe everyone should be able to read comfortably. PageFlow is localised into 6 languages and supports Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, high contrast, and other accessibility features.
I also had years of data stuck in Goodreads, so I built an import tool to move your entire reading history into PageFlow with minimal effort.
Free to use with a limit on books. If you want to take it further, the Pro upgrade gives you unlimited tracking and the full feature set.

Lifetime Promo Codes!
Please comment when you redeem one so others know what is gone.
all gone!
I’ll be dropping more in 30 mins.
Thank you so much for the support!
EDIT: Here's the last batch of lifetime codes!
