I'll be following this post, I had the same question a few years ago and never really got pointed to a good place to hire someone. Is this forum the best place to look, or is the best place to look different depending on what country or if you're an individual or not? I personally am looking for someone to make a simple app, one that I'd use for myself, and am willing to pay to have it made and available on the app store, even if it's just for me. I'm in the USA and flexible on where the developer is. Any direction on how to find a good IOS app developer on any scale would be appreciated, hopefully this could become a thread to help anyone in any scenario look in the right places.
