What People Say

Feedback from users, collaborators, and the developer community.

"SwiftSky saved me days of work. Clean API, great documentation, and responsive maintainer. Best weather library for Swift, hands down."

Sarah Chen

iOS Developer

"Mizzle is the most delightful weather app I've used. The animations make checking rain fun. It's clear a lot of care went into every detail."

Mark van der Berg

Mizzle User

"Ellie actually adapts to how I learn. After trying Duolingo, Babbel, and others, this is the first app that feels personalized. Game changer."

Emma Rodriguez
