    None of these takedowns were issued for violating App Store guidelines, all of them were for violating "local laws".

    You can now write NFC tags using Simply NFC on iOS 13

    Posted: 12 Oct 2019 12:37 PM PDT

    Hey, I just wanted to stop by and let you guys know that as of iOS 13, iPhones 7 and above can now write NFC tags as well as read them! My app Simply NFC, one of the highest rated NFC apps in the app store, has been updated to support NFC writing! You can find my app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simply-nfc-tag-writer-reader/id1262550712

    The app is fully voice over accessible and allows one to read or write many different types of NFC tags such as text, URL, URI, facetime, facetime audio, shortcuts, tel, sms, mail, homekit scene triggering, location, and wifi tags.

    If you want to unlock the full NFC capabilities of your device, give Simply NFC a download!

    Let me know if you guys would like to see any updates to the app after giving it a try.

    [Self-Promotion Saturday] Introducing Entropy, the random episode generator built for iOS and TV fanatics like you.

    Posted: 12 Oct 2019 08:04 AM PDT

    Hello!

    TLDR: For just over a year, now, I've been developing an app to help you pick an episode of your favorite TV show, and I've just released it for completely free. Entropy for iOS is the best way to begin watching, fast.

    Download Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/entropy-for-ios/id1459682815?ls=1

    Detailed Description

    We've all been there. You've got exactly 25 minutes before you have to leave for that really important thing. Exactly enough time for an episode of your favorite show. Problem is, how are you supposed to use that time efficiently if you have to find an episode to watch?

    this is where Entropy comes in, wow

    Entropy is designed to get you watching faster. Waste less time picking an episode so you can spend more time watching! Just pick one of Entropy's twelve shows with 4 more on the way soon and taking requests and Entropy does the rest.

    A few of my favorite features:

    • You can pick out the shows you watch and rearrange them however you'd like
    • After you've picked an episode, you can swipe down on the title to do one of two things:
      • Bring up more episode info including description, ratings, and duration. *
      • Perform a Google Search for the episode. Google's "Watch Episode" tab gives you direct links to the episode on your favorite streaming platforms. **
    • Shake your device (or tap the logo at the top of the screen) to pick an episode from any of your selected shows. Let Entropy pick the show too!
    • Add episodes to your Favorites and then you can pick just from your favorite episodes!
    • Built into iOS with 3D (or Haptic) Touch actions, Search results, and a URL scheme. All of these can be used to get an episode immediately from outside the app (though it does send you into the app)! I'll be making an addition to the app's site with details on the URL scheme soon!
    The rest of the notable features:
    • Pick which season to watch from! The Season Picker will tell Entropy to only pick episodes from the selected season.
    • A built-in Random Number Generator for your convenience!
    • A directory of every episode Entropy can generate! From here you can favorite episodes and hold down on the title to bring up more episode info as mentioned earlier!
      • (some episodes look like they're skipped when they're part of another but this is intentional, ex. episode 1-3 looks like episode 1 and then the list skips to 4)
    • Filter only by Halloween or Christmas episodes!
    • Custom app icons! Currently, there are 13 icons and more coming soon with updates! If there's a particular color scheme or theme you'd like me to get an icon for, feel free to send me the request! :)

    I encourage you to check out the app for yourself. It may come in handy quite a bit! If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask them below!

    P.S. I have a bot for Twitter in the works as well.

       

    * This episode information is provided by a third-party service and 1) may prove unreliable if the app reaches a large audience and 2) doesn't have information for every episode in Entropy. I hope to find a workaround for this in the future but other than that, this feature is pretty cool.

    ** Google's database doesn't always get the right episode because sometimes the numbers mismatch. If this happens, the episode is usually pretty close to the incorrect one. I do intend to fix this in the future.
