Most Voted Apps jury member
I'm an Apple platform developer working freelance in the Dortmund area. My focus is augmented reality — on iPhone as well as Vision Pro. What I enjoy most is building things you don't just look at, but that actually stand there in the room with you.
Gero’s Recommendations
Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt
I didn't expect an app from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority to be enjoyable, but i-Kfz puts your vehicle registration (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I) on your iPhone — set up via eID or QR code — and shows it offline when you get pulled over. The automatic reminder for the next inspection is handy, and you can hand out a shared copy by link or QR and revoke it whenever you want. Free, and a rare case of German bureaucracy that actually works on a phone.
Ubique Innovation AG
Fluid Meteo is the best-looking weather app I know: a 3D globe with rain, clouds and wind drifting across it as fluid animation — you end up understanding the weather better than any column of numbers would let you. For Central Europe it gives minute-by-minute rain forecasts based on DWD data, and it's free, with no subscription. It runs on iPhone, Mac and Vision Pro, and it's a small piece of craftsmanship on every one of them.
Google
YouTube is probably the app I underrate the most — I use it every day, mostly for conference talks, WWDC sessions, and whatever I'm trying to teach myself at the moment. The recommendations get surprisingly good once you've trained them in the right direction. And with Premium and background playback it quietly turns into the best podcast player I own.
Flighty LLC
Whenever I fly, Flighty is running. It usually knows about a delay or a gate change before the airline does — often hours ahead of time. On top of that, the Watch app and Live Activities are genuinely well done, so you always know where you stand. Easy recommendation if you travel a lot.
