Edit: the app launched and Is down- I have the initial apology video in a post here and I’m working on getting a full archive of their TikTok up ASAP. I’m letting the rest of this post remain since I do still stand by most of it and also don’t like altering things already in circulation.

Warning for criticism and what I’d consider some harsh to outright mean words:

So I’ve just been made aware of the project known of as ‘lore.fm’ and I’m not a fan for multiple reasons. For one this ‘accessibility’ tool complicates the process of essentially just using a screen reader (something native to all I phones specifically because this is a proposed IOS app) in utterly needless and inaccessible ways. From what I have been seeing on Reddit they have been shielding themselves (or fans of the project have been defending them) with this claim of being an accessibility tool as well to which is infuriating for so many reasons.

I plan to make a longer post explaining why this is a terrible idea later but I’ll keep it short for tonight with my main three criticisms and a few extras:

1. Your service requires people to copy a url for a fic then open your app then paste it into your app and click a button then wait for your audio to be prepared to use. This is needlessly complicating a process that exists on IOS already and can be done IN BROWSER using an overlay that you can fully control the placement of.

2. This is potentially killing your own fandom if it catches on with the proposed target market of xreader smut enjoyers because of only needing the link as mentioned above. You don’t have to open a fic to get a link this the author may potentially not even get any hits much less any other feedback. At least when you download a pdf you leave a hit: the download button is on the page with the fic for a reason. Fandom is a self sustaining eco system and many authors get discouraged and post less/even stop writing all together if they get low interaction.

3. Maybe we shouldn’t put something marketed as turning smut fanfic into audio books on the IOS App Store right now. Maybe with KOSA that’s a bad idea? Just maybe? Sarcasm aside we could see fan fiction be under even more legal threat if minors use this to listen to the content we know they all consume via sites like ao3 (even if we ask them not to) and are caught with it. Auditory content has historically been considered much more obscene/inappropriate than written content: this is a recipe for a disaster and more internet regulations we are trying to avoid.

I also have many issues with the fact that this is obviously redistributing fanfiction (thus violating the copyright we hold over our words and our plots) and removing control the author should have over their content and digital footprint. Then there is the fact that even though the creator on TikTok SAYS you can email to have your fic ‘excluded’ based on the way the demo works (pasting a link) I’m gonna assume that’s just to cover her ass/is utter bullshit. I know that’s harsh but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s probably a duck.

I am all for women in stem- I’ve BEEN a woman in Stem- but this is not a cool girl boss moment. This is someone naive enough to think this will go over well at best or many other things (security risks especially) at worst.

In conclusion for tonight: I hope this person is a troll but there is enough hype and enough paid for web domains that I don’t think that’s the case. There are a litany of reasons every fanfic reader and writer should be against something like this existing and I’ll outline them all in several other posts later.

Do not email their opt out email address there is no saying what is actually happening with that data and it is simply not worth the risks it could bring up. I hate treating seemingly well meaning people like potential cyber criminals but I’ve seen enough shit by now that it’s better to be safe than sorry. You’re much safer just locking all your fics to account only. I haven’t yet but I may in the future if that is the only option.

If anyone wants a screen reader tutorial and a walk through of my free favorites as well as the native IOS screen reader I can post that later as well. Sorry for the heavy content I know it’s not my normal fare.

Blocking Ads on Mobile Devices

Blocking ads on our phones is way harder than it should be so I figured I'd make some recommendations. These are not the only options out there, just the ones that I know and have used.

Please note that browser-level and system-level adblocking are complementary; you'll have the best experience if you use both of them together as they each block different things in different places. If you want a basic idea of how effective your combined adblocking setup is, you can visit this website in your mobile browser.

Lastly, there is some additional advice/info under the readmore if you're curious (EDIT: updated March 2025 to add more adblocking options for iOS and to add info about sideloading altered versions of social media apps that don't contain ads on Android and iOS).

Android

Browser-Level

uBlock Origin (for Firefox)

System-Level (works in all apps, not just browsers)

AdGuard

Blokada 5 (completely free version) OR Blokada 6 (has some newer features but they require a subscription)

iPhone/iPad

Browser-Level

AdGuard (Safari extension; free for basic browser-level blocking, requires a subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for custom filters)

1Blocker (Safari extension from an indie developer; can enable one built-in or custom filter list for free, requires a subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for enabling multiple filter lists and updating filter lists to the latest version automatically)

Wipr 2 (one time purchase from indie developer; simplest option to use, but also the least configurable. Best if you are looking for one time set and forget and don’t need any custom filters. Note that it does not have a system-level blocking option)

System-Level (works in all apps, not just browsers)

AdGuard (requires subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for system-level blocking)

1Blocker (can activate without a subscription, but requires subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license to enable system-level blocking AND browser-level blocking simultaneously)

AdGuard DNS only (this is free and does not require the AdGuard app, BUT I would only recommend it for advanced users, as you can't easily turn it off like you can with the app. Credit to this Reddit thread for the DNS profile)

Some additional info: browser-level blocking is a browser addon or extension, like you might be used to from a desktop computer. This inspects the HTML code returned by websites and searches for patterns that identify the presence of an ad or other annoyance (popup videos, cookie agreements, etc.). System-level blocking is almost always DNS-based. Basically whenever an app asks your phone's OS to make a connection to a website that is known for serving ads, the system-level blocker replies "sorry, I don't know her 🤷‍♂️💅" and the ad doesn't get downloaded. This works in most places, not just a browser, but be warned that it might make your battery drain a little faster depending on the app/setup.

Each of those types of blocking has strengths and weaknesses. System-level DNS blocking blocks ads in all apps, but companies that own advertising networks AND the websites those ads are served on can combine their services into the same domain to render DNS blocking useless; you can’t block ads served by Facebook/Meta domains without also blocking all of Facebook and Instagram as well because they made sure their ads are served from the same domain as all the user posts you actually want to see. Similarly, browser-level blocking can recognize ads by appearance and content, regardless of what domain they’re served from, so it can block them on Instagram and Facebook. However, it needs to be able to inspect the content being loaded in order to look for ads, and there’s no way to do that in non-browser apps. That’s why using both together will get you the best results.

These limitations do mean that you can’t block ads in the Facebook or Instagram apps, unfortunately, only in the website versions of them visited in your browser. It also means ads served by meta’s/facebook’s ad network in other apps can’t be blocked either (unless you're one of the rare beasts who doesn't use facebook or instagram or threads, in which case feel free to blacklist all Meta/FB domains and watch your ads disappear 😍; I'm jealous and in awe of you lol).

One note: some apps may behave unpredictably when they can't download ads. For example, the Tumblr app has big black spaces where the ads are, and sometimes those spaces collapse as you scroll past them and it messes up scrolling for a few seconds (UPDATE: looks like the scrolling issue may have actually been a Tumblr bug that they have now fixed, at least on iOS). Still way less annoying than getting ads for Draco Malfoy seduction roleplay AI chatbots imo though. And honestly *most* apps handle this fairly gracefully, like a mobile game I play just throws error messages like "ad is not ready" and then continues like normal.

One final note: on Android, you may actually be able to find hacked versions of Meta’s apps that have the ad frameworks removed. In some cases they are a little janky (unsurprisingly, apps don’t always take kindly to having some of their innards ripped out by a third-party), and they are often out of date. BUT in return you get an Instagram app with no ads whatsoever, and some of them even add additional features like buttons for saving IG videos and photos to your phone. However, use these apps at your own risk, as there is functionally no way to validate the code that the third-parties have added or removed from the app. Example altered IG app (I have not vetted this altered app, it's just a popular option): link.

It is technically possible to install altered apps on iOS as well, but Apple makes it much, much harder to do (unless you are jailbroken, which is a whole different ballgame). I'm not going to cover sideloading or jailbreaking here because even I as a very techy person eventually grew tired of messing with it or having to pay for it. If you're interested you can read more about the different ways to do sideloading on iOS here.

what is the best way to get safer/more anonymous online

Ok, security and anonymity are not the same thing, but when you combine them you can enhance your online privacy.

My question is: how tech literate are you and what is your aim? As in do you live in a country where your government would benefit from monitoring private (political) conversations or do you just want to degoogle? Because the latter is much easier for the average user.

Some general advice:

Leave Windows and Mac operating systems and switch to Linux distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu (both very user friendly). Switch from Microsoft Office or Pages/Numbers/Keynote (Mac) to LibreOffice.

You want to go more hardcore with a very privacy-focused operating system? There are Whonix and Tails (portable operating system).

Try to replace all your closed source apps with open source ones.

Now, when it comes to browsers, leave Chrome behind. Switch to Firefox (or Firefox Focus if you're on mobile). Want to go a step further? Use LibreWolf (a modified version of Firefox that increases protection against tracking), Brave (good for beginners but it has its controversies), DuckDuckGo or Bromite. You like ecofriendly alternatives? Check Ecosia out.

Are you, like, a journalist or political activist? Then you probably know Tor and other anonymous networks like i2p, freenet, Lokinet, Retroshare, IPFS and GNUnet.

For whistleblowers there are tools like SecureDrop (requires Tor), GlobaLeaks (alternative to SecureDrop), Haven (Android) and OnionShare.

Search engines?

There are Startpage (obtains Google's results but with more privacy), MetaGer (open source), DuckDuckGo (partially open source), Searx (open source). You can see the comparisons here.

Check libRedirect out. It redirects requests from popular socmed websites to privacy friendly frontends.

Alternatives to YouTube that value your privacy? Odysee, PeerTube and DTube.

Decentralized apps and social media? Mastodon (Twitter alternative), Friendica (Facebook alternative), diaspora* (Google+ RIP), PixelFed (Insta alternative), Aether (Reddit alternative).

Messaging?

I know we all use shit like Viber, Messenger, Telegram, Whatsup, Discord etc. but there are:

Signal (feels like Whatsup but it's secure and has end-to-end encryption)

Session (doesn't even require a phone or e-mail address to sign up)

Status (no phone or e-mail address again)

Threema (for mobile)

Delta Chat (you can chat with people if you know their e-mail without them having to use the app)

Team chatting?

Open source options:

Element (an alternative to Discord)

Rocket.chat (good for companies)

Revolt.chat (good for gamers and a good alternative to Discord)

Video/voice messaging?

Brave Talk (the one who creates the talk needs to use the browser but the others can join from any browser)

Jami

Linphone

Jitsi (no account required, video conferencing)

Then for Tor there are various options like Briar (good for activists), Speek! and Cwtch (user friendly).

Georestrictions? You don't want your Internet Provider to see what exactly what you're doing online?

As long as it's legal in your country, then you need to hide your IP with a VPN (authoritarian regimes tend to make them illegal for a reason), preferably one that has a no log policy, RAM servers, does not operate in one of the 14 eyes, supports OpenVPN (protocol), accepts cash payment and uses a strong encryption.

NordVPN (based in Panama)

ProtonVPN (Switzerland)

Cyberghost

Mullvad (Sweden)

Surfshark (Netherlands)

Private e-mails?

ProtonMail

StartMail

Tutamail

Mailbox (ecofriendly option)

Want to hide your real e-mail address to avoid spam etc.? SimpleLogin (open source)

E-mail clients?

Thunderbird

Canary Mail (for Android and iOS)

K-9 Mail (Android)

Too many complex passwords that you can't remember?

NordPass

BitWarden

LessPass

KeePassXC

Two Factor Authenticators?

2FAS

ente Authenticator

Aegis Authenticator

andOTP

Tofu (for iOS)

Want to encrypt your files? VeraCrypt (for your disk), GNU Privacy Guard (for your e-mail), Hat.sh (encryption in your browser), Picocrypt (Desktop encryption).

Want to encrypt your Dropbox, Google Drive etc.? Cryptomator.

Encrypted cloud storage?

NordLocker

MEGA

Proton Drive

Nextcloud

Filen

Encrypted photography storage?

ente

Cryptee

Piwigo

Want to remove metadata from your images and videos? ExifCleaner. For Android? ExifEraser. For iOS? Metapho.

Cloak your images to counter facial recognition? Fawkes.

Encrypted file sharing? Send.

Do you menstruate? Do you want an app that tracks your menstrual cycle but doesn't collect your data? drip.

What about your sexual health? Euki.

Want a fitness tracker without a closed source app and the need to transmit your personal data to the company's servers? Gadgetbridge.

[skyburger]

anyway my point here is you do NOT need a fancy art program to make good art. imo i think you just need to know your art program pretty well! you can make gorgeous art in literally any program you just gotta know how it works

its crazy to me when people are recommending really fancy art programs for beginners like. i know there are good free ones for both art AND editing but im so serious when i say i think the best one for beginners is 100% ms paint & paint.net

[ratedfleur]

hello just curious are links from x (twitter) cause I tried 2 phones to see if it actually works or if im trippin but they dont seem to work (for me)

hi darling! yes, the links are mostly from x! reddit and quora says there are two possible answers to this but i also think the whole twitter link thing is an ios problem (if you’re an apple user like me) because i’ve seen ios users experience the same thing 🤧

(1) it’s probably because of the default app settings which stops twitter from opening links in the app itself, it’s best to simply copy the link and paste it in your notes and it’ll direct you into the app!

(2) if the webpage says this thing then it’s probably because the post is marked as sensitive so you do need to open it on your notes to be able to be directed to the twitter app so you could view the link.

so i hope this helps, i looked everywhere for answers so yea 😁

Don't do that. At best you are just slowing things down, at worst some of these may be actively interfering with each other. AdGuard and uBlock Origin (uBO) is redundant, just use one. I use uBO, but AFAIK Adguard is ok too... Anyway, double classical browser adblockers is almost always a bad idea. (One classical and one DNS-based is fine)

Don't bother with the DDG extension for Firefox, just set DDG as your search engine. Delete Google and other unwanted search engines from the list if you want to make sure you don't accidentally select them. They claim to do other stuff, but it isn't doing anything you can't get with uBO and native FF features (set to Strict, etc). It might do stuff that you can't natively do on Chrome, but uh. Don't use Chrome.

The DDG app for Android mentioned above just links to the DDG Android browser. It does not make any claims to increase privacy or deal with ads in other apps. It is just a web browser. And it is just a Chrome/WebView wrapper as most non-FF browsers are. It isn't going to offer you anything you can't get with FF on Android and uBO.

Mullvad is a fine VPN (you can also use Mozilla, which is a branded version of Mullvad's infrastructure, and will help Mozilla survive), but there is very little to no reason to use a VPN for most day-to-day web browsing. Even more so now with encrypted DNS lookup options in the form of DoH (DNS over HTTPS) and DoT (DNS over TLS).

There could be some limited value to a VPN when on public WiFi (Starbucks etc), and a VPN is good to keep the MPAA off your back when torrenting. Or if you want to get around geo-blocks by selecting a VPN endpoint in another country.

Sponserblock is nice to skip the sponsor segments on YouTube, but do remember just regular uBlock Origin will block the YouTube-inserted ads, and Sponserblock has nothing to do with blocking trackers or the like.

For Android, start by using FF for Android (iOS situation is different), very many extensions work just fine on mobile now, including uBlock Origin. And then use mobile website (and PWAs, Progressive Web Apps) rather than Android apps where possible. "Apps" are always going to have more power to track you than websites (obviously there are "good" apps, especially many open source ones, that don't track you, but the possibilities are greater).

Since I use open source apps and websites wherever possible, and I use FF with uBlock Origin on Android, I haven't felt a need to use other ad/tracking blocking stuff on Android, but if you want to, the best bet is DNS based blocking with an open source app.

Some do it locally, like PersonalDNSfilter, DNS66, AdAway and Blokada 5, with a host file setup (either directly on rooted device, or with a fake VPN workaround for non-rooted). Others like AdGuard for Android, Blokada 6, RethinkDNS and NextDNS use external DNS servers on the internet and route your DNS requests through them. Some of those listed require subscriptions (though the clients are Open Source) or require varying amounts of manual setup. Also apparently some people are using the AdGuard DNS server without the app and therefore no subscription (presumably then needs more manual setup)? Don't know much about it. Can't recommend any one of these as I haven't used any of them, but plenty of discussion on Reddit etc.

Not sure what the Host File or alternate DNS situation is on iOS. And iOS browsers (ALL of them) are just skins over WebKit (the Safari engine), so not much they can do, and no extensions. The EU might force Apple to open that up though at some point...

i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?

What Is a Social Investor? Everything You Need to Know

In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, investing is no longer a solo sport.

The rise of social investing has transformed the way people trade, learn, and grow their wealth. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just getting started, chances are you've already encountered social investors—on Twitter, Discord, Reddit, or even in group chats. But who exactly are they? And why is NVSTly the go-to platform for this new wave of investors?

Let’s break it down.

What is a Social Investor?

A social investor is someone who engages in trading or investing with a strong focus on community, transparency, and collaboration.

They're not just buying and selling behind closed doors. They're:

Sharing trades and strategies in real time

Following top traders to learn from their wins (and losses)

Collaborating with others in Discord servers, Telegram groups, and social media threads

Using data-driven insights from the crowd to sharpen their own edge

Social investors believe that trading is better together—and they’re not wrong.

What Do Social Investors Do?

Social investors operate at the intersection of finance and social media. Here's what their day-to-day might look like:

✅ Share Trades Publicly

They log and post their trades for the community to see—building trust, accountability, and transparency.

✅ Follow Traders They Trust

They find top-performing traders or those with a style that resonates, then follow their moves to learn, mirror, or improve their own game.

✅ Collaborate & Discuss

Social investors thrive on conversation—sharing opinions, chart analysis, market sentiment, and more.

✅ Track Performance Over Time

Many use dashboards to measure their win rates, gain/loss ratios, and trade history to keep improving.

So… How Does Social Investing Actually Work?

At its core, social investing works like this:

Connect with the Community Whether it’s a Discord server, app, or forum—start engaging.

Log & Share Trades Share your trade ideas, entries/exits, or even link your brokerage to auto-share your trades in real-time.

Follow & Learn from Others Use leaderboards, performance stats, and trade insights to follow top traders or promising new ones.

Analyze and Improve Get real-time feedback, stats, and charts to refine your strategy and grow your edge.

That’s where NVSTly comes in.

Smart Guide to Refurbishing Mobile Phones

I learned this the hard way after my “brand-new” Galaxy S23 started glitching six months in, while my friend’s refurbished iPhone 12 from Back Market is still kicking three years later. Here’s how to play the refurbished game like a pro.

Why Refurbished is the New Black

1. Your Wallet Gets a Spa Day Think of refurbished phones as the outlet mall of tech. For example:

New iPhone 15: $799

Refurb iPhone 14: 499(withwarranty)→That’s499(withwarranty)→That’s300 for a weekend in Vegas. Pro tip: Gazelle’s holiday sales drop prices another 20%—set price alerts!

2. Earth Gets a High-Five Every minute, 1.5 million pounds of e-waste hits landfills. Buying refurbished? You’re basically Batman for the planet. My eco-nerd friend tracks her “saved e-waste” like Fitbit steps—last year: 18 phones kept from the trash.

3. Secret Menu for Tech Snobs Want a foldable Z Flip but hate the 999price?Refurbishedmodelsgofor999price?Refurbishedmodelsgofor650. Crave that Pixel camera magic? Google’s refurb store sells them with factory seals. It’s like finding a Rolex at a yard sale.

Where the Pros Shop (and Avoid Scams)

1. Back Market: The Refurbished OG

Why pros love it: Their “Grade A” phones come with microscopic inspection reports (seriously—they check charging ports with magnifiers).

Watch out: “Grade B” might have hairline scratches—ask for close-up videos.

Hack: Use code “PHONENINJA10” for 10% off first orders (works as of July 2024).

2. Swappa: The Reddit of Phone Deals

Goldmine: Tech geeks selling barely-used devices. Snagged a Pixel 7 Pro here for 400(retail:400(retail:899) with original box.

Red flag: Sellers with no profile pic? Hard pass.

Pro move: Filter search to “Mint Condition” + “Seller Rating 4.9+”.

3. Amazon Renewed: For the Paranoid Buyer

Perk: 90-day returns—way better than Gazelle’s 30 days.

Gotcha: “Renewed Premium” means new battery; standard “Renewed” might not.

Secret: Check “Warehouse Deals” for open-box steals—found an S23 Ultra $200 cheaper than refurbished section.

4. Local Repair Shops: The Underdog Play

Shenzhen Special: Huaqiangbei shops sell “Apple Certified” refurbs with swapped batteries for 40% off. Bring a UV light to spot fake screens.

NYC Gem: TechCube in Queens offers free diagnostic tests while you wait.

7-Step Checklist to Avoid Getting Burned

Battery Gatekeeping

iPhones: Settings → Battery → Health. Below 85%? Demand a discount.

Androids: Install AccuBattery. If health <80%, walk away unless they replace it.

IMEI Sherlock Holmes Act

Free sites like IMEI24.com reveal if the phone’s stolen or still on someone’s AT&T plan.

The Bend Test (For Foldables)

Flip the Razr 40 Ultra 50 times. Hear a creak? Hinge grease is drying up—$150 repair waiting to happen.

Port Party

Bring a charger and test ALL ports. Samsung’s USB-C ports love collecting lint—clean with a toothpick if it’s loose.

Camera CSI

Film Screen Sleuthing

AMOLED test: Display pure red/green/blue images. Burn-in looks like ghostly app icons.

a 4K video for 5 mins. Overheating? Likely a repaired logic board.

Warranty Wars

Best Buy’s refurbished? 90 days. Back Market? 1 year. Always pick the longer warranty—I once returned a Pixel 6a 11 months in for a full refund.

The Dark Side of Refurbished (And How to Fight Back)

Scam Alert: The “Frankenphone”

Bought a “mint” iPhone 13 that died in a week? It was probably built from 3 dead phones. Red flags:

Mismatched serial numbers on SIM tray vs. settings

iOS version older than the phone’s release date (means logic board swap)

Fix: Open the phone (YouTube tutorials help). Genuine iPhones have Apple logos on internal parts.

The “Unlocked” Lie Seller claims it’s unlocked but it’s carrier-locked? Pop in your SIM card during testing. No signal? Demand a refund ASAP.

2024 Refurb Trends You Can’t Ignore

Self-Repair Kits: Motorola now sells Razr DIY hinge kits—99vs.99vs.249 shop fee.

AI Grading: Sites like Decluttr use AI to price phones—tilt your camera at specific angles for higher quotes.

NFT Proof: Some sellers now offer blockchain-based repair history. Nerdy? Yes. Helpful? Absolutely.

Final Word: Be a Refurbished Jedi

Last month, I watched a TikToker haggle a “broken” iPhone 14 Pro down to 300—thenreviveitwitha300—thenreviveitwitha20 battery swap. That’s the refurbished mindset: part bargain hunter, part tech MacGyver.

Ready to dive in? Start with Back Market’s “Grade A” section, avoid anything below 4.8 stars, and remember: in the refurbished world, patience = profit.

Happy hunting! 🚀www.oemphone.net

How to Pick the Perfect Mobile App Development Company

Hey Tumblr fam, let’s talk about something real: turning your app idea into a living, breathing digital masterpiece. Maybe you’ve got a killer concept—something that could rival TikTok or make budgeting less of a snooze-fest. But here’s the catch: you need the right mobile app development company to bring it to life. Picking the wrong one? That’s a fast track to wasted time, drained savings, and a half-baked app that nobody downloads.

I’ve been there—dreaming big, scrolling endlessly, and wondering, “How do I even start choosing the best app development services?” Spoiler: it’s less about tech jargon and more about finding a team that gets you. So, grab your coffee (or tea, no judgment), and let’s break this down, human-to-human. Here’s your guide to hiring mobile app developers who won’t leave you ghosted—or broke.

Step 1: Know What You Want (Even If It’s Vague)

Before you Google “top mobile app development companies near me,” pause. What’s your app about? Is it a game-changer for small businesses? A fitness tracker with sass? Or just something to make your friends laugh? You don’t need a 50-page plan, but a rough idea helps. Think:

Purpose: What problem does it solve?

Audience: Who’s downloading this? Teens? Busy moms? Tech geeks?

Budget: Ballpark it—$5K? $50K?

Pro tip: Jot this down. It’s your North Star when app developers start throwing buzzwords like “Flutter” or “React Native” at you. A clear vision keeps you grounded.

Step 2: Hunt for App Developers Who Speak Your Language

Not every mobile app development firm is a match. Some are corporate robots; others are chill startups. You want a vibe check. Here’s how to find your people:

Portfolio Peek: Check their past work. Built an e-commerce app? A social platform? If they’ve nailed something close to your idea, they’re in the running.

Reviews & Real Talk: Dig into client testimonials—Google, Clutch, or even Reddit threads. Did they deliver on time? Were they cool to work with?

Communication Style: Email them a quick “hey, I’ve got an idea—can we chat?” If they reply like humans (not auto-bots) and ask smart questions, that’s a green flag.

Semantic tip: Look for “reliable app development services” or “trusted mobile app developers” in reviews—it’s a sign they’re not just coding cowboys.

Step 3: Tech Skills Matter (But Don’t Obsess)

Okay, let’s get a little nerdy. The best app development companies know their stuff—iOS, Android, cross-platform, you name it. But unless you’re a coder, don’t sweat the details. Focus on:

Experience: Have they built apps for your industry (e.g., healthcare, gaming)?

Tools: Do they use modern frameworks like Swift, Kotlin, or something scalable?

Future-Proofing: Can they update your app when iOS 19 or Android 15 drops?

Long-tail bonus: Search “hire mobile app developers with cross-platform expertise” to find versatile teams. You want pros who can flex, not flop.

Step 4: Budget Without Breaking the Bank

Money talks, right? Mobile app development costs vary wildly—$10K for a simple app, $100K+ for the next big thing. Here’s the trick:

Get Quotes: Ask 3-5 companies for estimates. Compare apples to apples (features, timeline, support).

Value Over Cheap: The lowest bid might mean buggy code or zero support. Look for “affordable app development services” that don’t skimp on quality.

Payment Plans: Some firms offer milestones (pay as they build). It’s less scary than dropping a lump sum.

Real story: My friend went with a dirt-cheap developer. Six months later? App crashed, dev vanished. Pay for peace of mind.

Step 5: Test Their Team Spirit

A great app isn’t just code—it’s collaboration. The best mobile app development companies treat you like a partner, not a paycheck. Ask:

Who’s on Deck?: Designers, coders, testers—do they have a full squad?

Updates: Will they keep you in the loop with demos or progress chats?

Support: Post-launch, will they fix bugs or help with updates?

Semantic vibe: “choosing a mobile app development firm with strong teamwork” is a hidden gem. Solo freelancers might flake; a solid crew sticks around.

Step 6: Gut Check + Contract

Found a contender? Trust your instincts. If they feel shady—pushy sales, vague answers—run. Then:

Sign Smart: Get a contract. Scope, timeline, costs—lock it in.

Ask Dumb Questions: “What if I hate it?” or “What’s the refund vibe?” Good devs won’t blink.

Tumblr truth: Your gut’s smarter than you think. Pair it with a paper trail, and you’re golden.

Why This Matters

Your app’s your baby. Handing it to the wrong mobile app development company is like trusting a stranger with your diary. Pick a team that’s skilled, real, and ready to roll with your quirks. The world’s waiting—don’t let a bad choice hold you back.

So, where you at with your app idea? Drop it in the replies—I’m all ears! And if you’ve got dev horror stories (or wins), spill the tea. Let’s vibe about this.

Want to Make Money with Your iPhone Game? Here’s What Works

Introduction

The mobile gaming industry is booming, with iOS games generating billions in revenue annually. If you want to capitalize on this trend, creating and monetizing an iPhone game can be highly rewarding. However, success requires strategic planning, engaging gameplay, and the right monetization approach. In this guide, we’ll explore proven strategies to help you make money with your iOS game development efforts.

Step 1: Choose a Profitable Game Genre

Before diving into iOS game development, it’s crucial to choose a game genre that has high demand. Casual games, puzzle games, and hyper-casual titles tend to perform well due to their broad appeal. Conduct market research to identify trending genres and ensure your idea has a competitive edge.

Step 2: Develop a High-Quality Game

A well-developed game is the foundation of success. Whether you're making an iPhone game yourself or hiring an iOS game development company, ensure your game has:

Stunning graphics and animations

Smooth and intuitive controls

Engaging and replayable gameplay

Fast load times and bug-free performance

Using tools like Unity or Unreal Engine can simplify the development process while ensuring a high-quality output.

Step 3: Monetization Strategies That Work

There are multiple ways to monetize an iPhone game. Here are the most effective ones:

1. In-App Purchases (IAPs)

This is one of the most lucrative revenue models. Offer players virtual goods, power-ups, or additional content for a fee. Implementing microtransactions can significantly boost earnings if done correctly.

2. In-App Advertising

Displaying ads through networks like Google AdMob or Unity Ads can generate consistent revenue. Use rewarded video ads that give players in-game benefits for watching to enhance user engagement.

3. Subscription Models

Games with ongoing content updates can benefit from subscription plans. Offer premium memberships for exclusive features, ad-free experiences, or early access to new levels.

4. Paid Downloads

Although free-to-play dominates the market, premium games with a one-time purchase model can still thrive if they offer exceptional value.

Step 4: Optimize Your Game for the App Store

App Store Optimization (ASO) plays a key role in your game’s visibility. To enhance your chances of ranking high:

Use relevant keywords like "iOS game development" and "iOS game development company" in your game’s title and description.

Design an eye-catching app icon.

Add engaging screenshots and a promotional video.

Encourage user reviews and ratings to improve credibility.

Step 5: Promote Your Game Effectively

Even the best games need marketing to gain traction. Consider these promotional tactics:

Social Media Marketing: Share gameplay videos, teasers, and updates on platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.

Influencer Collaborations: Partner with gaming influencers and streamers to showcase your game.

App Store Ads: Use Apple Search Ads to reach targeted users.

Gaming Forums & Communities: Engage with gaming communities on Reddit, Discord, and game development forums.

Conclusion

Making an iPhone game and turning it into a profitable venture requires more than just great gameplay. With the right monetization strategy, ASO optimization, and an effective marketing plan, you can maximize your earnings and establish a successful mobile gaming business. Whether you choose to develop the game independently or work with an iOS game development , the key is to stay innovative and adapt to market trends. Start your journey today and turn your mobile game into a money-making machine!

How to select your best wireless earbuds in 2025

To determine the best earbuds, your analysis should be methodical and consider key aspects like sound quality, comfort, features, price, and user preferences. Here's a structured approach:

1. Define the Criteria

Start by establishing what "best" means for your analysis. Consider categories like:

Sound Quality: Bass, mids, treble, clarity, soundstage, and customization options like EQ.

Comfort & Fit: How they feel during extended use; include size options and weight.

Features: ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), Transparency Mode, multipoint connectivity, battery life, app support, and extras like spatial audio or voice assistants.

Build Quality: Durability, material quality, IP rating for water resistance.

Call Quality: Mic clarity in various environments, like noisy or windy areas.

Compatibility: How they perform across devices (e.g., iOS vs. Android).

Price-to-Performance Ratio: Are they worth their cost?

User-Specific Needs: Gaming, workouts, commuting, audiophile-grade sound, etc.

2. Collect Data

Test Real-World Scenarios: Use the earbuds during commutes, workouts, and calls to evaluate performance under different conditions.

Compare Features: Create a comparison table for the models you're analyzing.

Read Reviews: Look at user feedback and expert opinions to spot common praises or complaints. You can refer to communities like Reddit for best earbuds that worked for users in 2025.

Test Yourself (if possible): First-hand experience is the most reliable way to gauge sound, comfort, and usability.

3. Weight the Criteria

Some factors might matter more than others, depending on the target user. For instance:

For audiophiles: Prioritize sound quality and customization.

For commuters: Focus on ANC, battery life, and call quality.

Assign weights to each criterion based on their importance (e.g., Sound Quality = 40%, ANC = 20%, etc.).

4. Evaluate Real-World Performance

Run comparative tests:

ANC effectiveness in various noise environments (e.g., food courts, subways).

Mic quality in calls under loud or windy conditions.

Comfort during long wear (e.g., hours of listening).

5. Consider the Target Audience

Every model has its niche. For example:

Sony WF-1000XM5: Best for audiophiles.

AirPods Pro 2: Seamless experience for Apple users.

Bose QC Earbuds Gen 2: Leading ANC performance for travelers.

6. Analyze the Data

Rank earbuds based on scores or weighted averages. Add pros and cons for each model to summarize their strengths and weaknesses.

7. Conclude with Personal Recommendations

Tailor your conclusion to different user needs. Avoid blanket statements like "These are the best," unless one model stands out across all categories. Instead, say something like:

"For Apple users, the AirPods Pro 2 deliver the best experience due to seamless integration with iOS."

"For those who prioritize ANC, the Bose QC Earbuds Gen 2 are unmatched."

Bonus Tips

Keep an open mind: The "best" earbuds depend on individual preferences and use cases.

Highlight value for money: A mid-range option might outperform a pricier one in real-world scenarios.

Regularly update your conclusions: Earbud technology evolves rapidly, and new models can shift the market.
