Apex iOS app with widgets, Apple Watch app and complications

mattaeus · Jul 31, 2023

Trying to gauge interest in such app, I’ve already got the core of the app working and basic widgets and complications running already. Trying to balance how to monetize and fund continued development of the app. Select 2 options.. cost plus subscription preference.

Doesn't apex already have an app?

I don't think I ever thought that I needed a widget for the app, when opening the app gives me a good enough high level overview of the tank parameters.

Plus, the alarm function works well enough that I don't need the parameters on my watch. No need to micromanage my tank like that. Too much stress

Better hire a lawyer to see if you can even have a product that uses Neptune and Apple trademarked, copyrighted technology

He won't have trouble with apple because that's the whole point of apps...

He uses the ios devkit and sdk to develop apps for IOS devices. No reason apple would be upset

Betcha Ryan Batcheller would have a few opinions on someone making a profit off Neptune technology

Not only to monitor but widgets to take actions on outlets as well as completely customizable feed/maintenance modes.
