I wonder if it would be possible to separate the showing of the latest app submissions from the latest forum posts? I bring this up as in recent days, there's been an increase in app submissions. This is not intended to complain about the submissions, but now that it's happening, I personally find that it's clogging up the forum posts which is what I usually come to the site to look at. I think it would be beneficial to have a separate section for both as we could then get the latest information without sacrificing either.

Dear AppleVis Community,
In early October 2026, we rewrote our Posting Guidelines and relaunched them as our Community Agreement. Our Community Agreement is built around 4 core principles:

Dear AppleVis Community,
As our non-Apple forums continue to grow in popularity, I wanted to take a moment to make a request that I hope will improve the experience for everyone.
When we created our non-Apple forums in 2024, we wanted a dedicated place for people to be able to share their expertise and discuss other technologies besides Apple. Our non-Apple forums have proven very popular, and we are honored that people are choosing to have these conversations on AppleVis.

dear teem.
Would it be possible to add an option to the account, when you're choosing your time zone, to select whether you want 12 or 24 hour time?
I'm from Australia and most people here usually would use 12 hour time. Obviously don't make it so someone has to choose between one or the other, they can choose on their own term/time, but an option to change the time format would be nice.

Suggestion for the AppleViz developers:
Please consider adding a feature to allow us to log in to our accounts via passkey instead of using a username and password. This would allow us to log in more seamlessly on our other devices, such as an Android phone or a Windows laptop.
Currently, because our passkeys and passwords are all stored in iCloud Keychain, we literally have to copy and paste the username and password into other devices every single time using platforms like WhatsApp just to log into our account.

What's going on with the appleVis Unlimited newsletter?
It seems that full pastes of app descriptions from the App Store in the newsletter have disappeared and been replaced by AI generated description summaries.
Quite honestly, they're somewhere between OK and rubbish in terms of usefulness.
I really don't like the new style sumaries. Granted, the "proper" descriptions are only a click away, but some of them aren't worth the code that spawned them.

Dear AppleVis Community,
We wanted to take a moment to share an update to our Forum Guidelines surrounding the use of profanity on AppleVis. As of today (01/13/2026), we have made the following change:

Dear AppleVis Community,
We are pleased to announce that we have updated our posting rules to make them simpler, easier to understand, and easier to follow.
Since the very early days of AppleVis, our Posting Guidelines have been the rules of the road for participating on AppleVis. While our previous Posting Guidelines have served us well, the document has grown quite long over time as new guidelines were added and amended to address the various situations we encountered.

Dear AppleVis Community,
Since our 2024 acquisition by Be My Eyes, making AppleVis available in more languages and to more people has been at the top of our wish list. While it took us some time to find the right solution, we are very excited to announce that as of today (11/18/2025), AppleVis offers machine translation of the website and all written content thanks to Google Translate.

Hello Applevis,
I was browsing the Applevis app directory of iOS today when I was able to confirm an issue I've been seeing for at least a few weeks now.
On my iPhone 17 Pro Max running, granted, iOS 26.4 developer beta 2, I have consistently had an issue with the Applevis website not displaying the app store link for any app directory entry, at least under the iOS/iPadOS category. Yet when I go to the same page(s) on my Windows desktop, I'm always able to find it. Can anyone reproduce this? Does anyone know what's happening?
Thanks.

Hello, AppleVis community. I have heard about a new AppleVis app that will be coming to the App Store, and it seems like it is currently in beta. I also definitely noticed this when listening to the recent podcast on the iPhone Duo when the AppleVis beta app was briefly mentioned on the device's home screen. I'm curious when this app will be releasing to the public and how I can join the TestFlight beta

Hello members and development team.
I have noticed that after a few days of inactivity from my Applevis account my devices will log out.
Forcing me to reenter my username and password to login to comment or post.
This is slightly inconvenient and I would suggest this feature be removed or only prompting a session expire after 2 months or longer
Thank you for reading my post.

Hello all,
As I was perusing some of the new post this morning, I noticed a brand new and shiny "reply" button at the end of everybody's comment. So I'm wondering, when did the forums get updated? And is this the layout that was attempted, and disregarded, before?
Or is it a new update to the host software?
Thanks for reading, and please discuss! 🙂👍
Disclaimer, apologies if I put this in the wrong forum.

What would be the chance of adding the ability to post audio clips to the forum? Audio is easy to compress without much loss of perceived quality, and I think it would make it easier to provide high quality accessibility walkthroughs without having to rely on third-party platforms, plus I did check and noticed that AppleVis is already either hosted on or at least served by CloudFlare which does offer this kind of distributed service.
I'd like a platform where I could share blind coding audio clips with the community, and I think this would be a perfect place to do it.

I have a suggestion. When I create a new topic in a forum, like I’m doing here, I noticed it doesn’t subscribe me to notifications by default. That means I always have to remember to manually click on the subscribe button after I’ve created my post. To me this is counterintuitive and not consistent with how other forums work, where typically it would be assumed you’d want to know about replies to a topic you just created.
