Subreddit Rules
- Read This Before Posting: **Everyone:** - **10pt LOCAL Karma required.** Comment in r/iOSApps to earn it. [Check](https://is.gd/w4wBbl) - Search the sub before posting. Choose flair.
- main feed promo unless you qualify via **Trust or Transparency** + **ABC** format (Answer, Better, Cost). [How to qualify](https://is.gd/e5YRcX) - Flair: **Vibe Coded > Lifetime > Subscription > Freemium > Free** - Free flair: not for limited/freemium tiers - Open Source? Prefix title **[OS]**
- Official Distribution Channels Only: Download links must link to the App Store or TestFlight. Sideloaded or unnoficial sources are not allowed. Shortened links are not allowed.
- Limited Self-Promotion: Infrequent self-promotion is permitted; however, it is not permitted more than once per developer in 30 days. This is counted from the last app post, even if it was removed.
- For well-established, recognized devs with an app-flair, once per app per 30 days.
- ALWAYS disclose your relationship to your software in comments promoting your app. Promoting your own app in comments is disallowed until you earn **10 karma** in r/iOSApps, and is in poor taste when hijacking another developer's promotion.
- Reddit Rules: We follow the Reddit Rules without exception. Familiarise yourself before posting or commenting.
- No Affiliate / Referral / Invite Links: Affiliate, referral, and invite links are not permitted since they attract spam and low-quality content.
- No AI: Generative AI apps and AI-wrapped apps are not allowed and will be removed. If your app uses AI as a core feature rather than a tool, it likely doesn't belong here. Check out r/GenAiApps instead. Apps that were vibe coded must be flaired accordingly.
- No Promo Code Requests: Do not ask for promo codes or discounts in the comments, not even when a publisher suggests it in their post. It's spam and will be treated as such. DM the publisher if you must, but don't announce it publicly. Same goes for developers: If you are offering a promotion, do not encourage users to comment for the code. Instead, either give a promo code that works for everyone **inside the post body** (preferred) or ask users to DM you privately.
- Promote in Megathread: As part of the **Trust vs. Transparency Initiative**, ALL who do not qualify through trust or transparency requirements must limit promotion to the monthly **App Shelf Megathread**. *Learn how to qualify to post in the main feed [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/comments/1u9aw0f/riosapps_moderation_update_phase_2_trust/).*
- No Hiring Posts: This is not the place to find or hire developers for your app idea.
- Be kind and respectful: - Be polite, stay on topic and follow basic [reddiquette](https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette). - If a post breaks sub rules, don't leave a rude reply; instead, report it to the mods.
- - Rude and hateful comments about the app or developers will not be tolerated. Critiquing, feedback, and discussing is fine but be polite.
