Waiting For Review

I'm joined in this episode by Bobby Bobak

Bobby is the developer of Filtru, a brilliant coffee timer that helps people create their perfect brew. He's a self taught developer, with an extremely sharp design eye and background. His apps are joyful to use and pop when they're on screen.

I discuss Bobby's developer backstory with him, developing and launching Filtru, and much more along the way.

In the show, Bobby mentions Filtru's TestFlight beta, which you can find here.

I hope you enjoy the show,

David ✨

I'm joined in this episode by Victor Marks.

Victor is a product designer, blogger, and tech industry heavy weight. You may have read some of his many articles over at AppleInsider, Knapsack.news or even Wrist Watch Reviews.

He has many years in the industry, and a ton of experience in product development, marketing, launching, and app reviews. I thought it would be good for my audience to hear from him and find out more from that side of the fence.

Enjoy a show "take over" from a non-developer, that every indie developer can learn so much from,

I'm joined in this episode by Ben Guerrette.

Ben is the Creative Director of Pixite, at Pixite, a small company that’s been flying high in the App Store for many years. Pixite have many apps in the store, ranging from creative journalling, graphic design, through to their colourful drawing and relaxation app, Pigment.

Pixite have gone from strength to strength, with app revenue bootstrapping the business into life, and consistent App Store features for their products. As dynamics have changed with the App Store and revenue, Pixite have had to adapt their approach and business model for revenue. I thought I’d catch up with Ben to find out more.

I hope you enjoy the show,

Dave Nott has departed for pastures new, and I bid him farewell and a heartfelt thanks for all of the episodes we've recorded in what is now Season 1 of this podcast.

In the coming weeks, Waiting For Review shall return. I'll be interviewing iOS developers from the indie development community, to find out what makes them and their apps tick.

If you'd like to guest on the show, or to be invited to the WFR indie development slack community then reach out to me via twitter @davidgarywood) or email me at [[email protected]]([email protected]).

Thanks to all of our listeners for Season 1, and I hope you join me for more Waiting For Review next month!

After some accidental headphone discussion, we catch up with how Dave Wood has been getting on with his SwiftUI journey.

We wrap with the news that we're taking a break, and will be putting the podcast on pause for the next few weeks. In the mean time, we hope that you all stay well and keep safe.

We failed not to talk about Epic and Apple, the App Store, and many other things. Meanwhile, Dave Wood started a twitter thread for iOS indie apps and their developers 🚀
