Localization is the growth lever indie iOS apps are betting on to reach non-English users. Case studies from Savorio and FHynix show how language requests steer roadmaps and what features help scale globally. [1][2]
Savorio is planning Spanish localization after a developer said, "Adding Spanish localization was my next language to support." It’s currently US-only (English) for iOS, with Australia on the expansion list as part of international growth. Google Calendar integration is on the integration list for the next updates, and Firebase powers authentication and data storage. [1]
FHynix has 2000+ users and is opening pricing in November, offering lifetime free access for early users until then. Users are pushing for localization and broader language support, noting that time formats should be localized. The app already wires up calendars with Google and Microsoft calendars, and it offers AI-assisted event suggestions plus WhatsApp reminders. [2]
Taken together, feedback from indie teams shows localization isn’t a side quest—it’s shaping what ships next. Spanish and other language support can become a differentiator as apps push into Australia and beyond, with calendar integrations and localized time formats acting as practical quick wins. [1][2]
