This looks really cool. I’d have loved to give it a try as someone interested in improving my French, but I wasn’t able to download the app since it’s pinned to the latest version of iOS only.

Are you using APIs that are unavailable on iOS 16 and under, or is it a matter of testing? My understanding was that about 25% of iPhone users aren’t on iOS 17 (myself included!) so it’s a fairly large demographic

Obviously, I do not know about this app, but as an iOS developer, my apps are pinned to iOS 17 as well. SwiftUI is way too infant to not have the latest features at your disposal, in fact, I'd describe it as 'unusable' before iOS 16.

I think it is SwiftData that meant I had to limit to iOS 17. I will double check because it might be a limitation I can solve easily enough.

+1, my device is unfortunately too old to upgrade to iOS 17 and I wouldn't imagine this app would use too many new features
