What are your iOS hidden gem apps (lemmy.world)

Preferably lesser known but game-changing apps that are able to be bought one-time and put all others to shame.

To help clarify your thinking, which apps have produced such an outrageous level of value (regardless of one-time cost) to the extent you believe it should be #1 in its category, not necessarily #1 app ever.

We'll do a seperate thread for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, etc but let's stick to iOS for this one. Thanks Lemmings!

The one I wrote myself to automate tasks at work. It has saved me hundreds of hours of tedium and makes my job so much easier. It only cost me a few weeks of learning (I am not a developer, just a tinkerer) to get it done. It lives happily on my phone and iPad and I use it every day.

You wanna tell us more? Kinda hard to act on this :/

Edit: I might do one on Shortcuts although that might be trickier given the lack of anonymity in "sharing" them since its iCloud and tied to your Apple account :/

Oops, I'm sorry - I should have mentioned that it's not on the App Store. It is chock full of company proprietary documents, photos and sales formulae. I wrote it just for myself.

If you could elaborate maybe on some (if any) of the novel functioning or interesting bits about it that give folks a better jumping-off point to independantly investigate, that would be coo

I wrote it to automate my workflow - I'm in sales. I enter site details at the customer location and my app crunches the numbers to pre-fill all relevant documents (contract, financing, etc) in PDF form. I also use it as a presentation device to explain service and product details/specs using pictures, videos and PDF documents.

No more paper, no more fiddling around with calculator and rate-cards. I do a little data entry and basically my job is done.
