People asking for an app

Posts from the last two weeks in Apple-app communities (r/iosapps, r/AppStore, r/macapps, r/iphone, r/apple, r/AppleWatch) and on Ask HN where someone asks which app to use, asks for an alternative or looks for a tool. If one of our apps could fit, it is listed under the post.

Found by the wording of the title. The fit is a guess from words shared with an app's description, so read the post before you answer it. Please follow each community's rules on self-promotion.
