Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · No formal rules were provided in the stubbed rules text; when unsure, ask the mods first — the community does often allow developer posts and giveaways.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, discussion, question
Headline: “AppName — one-line benefit” or a short question. Use first-person when announcing a build/update; open with the problem you solved. Posts are short-to-medium (1–3 short paragraphs) with screenshots and an App Store link. Tone: informal, grateful, helpful — upvotes go to useful apps, clear value propositions, giveaways, and honest dev stories; avoid spammy repeated reposts or vague one-line promos.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked September 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/iphoneapps's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
