Is there an alternative to InAppSettingsKit that is simpler? I find myself needing only 20% of what it offers.

How about ESCOZ's QuickDialog library? Seems like a reasonable alternative.

Well, one alternative is to just build your own settings panel with a regular UIViewController and some buttons and switches, etc. and then save the settings using NSUserDefaults, e.g.

- (IBAction)mySettingSwitchAction:(UISwitch *)theSwitch
{
    //save the switch setting
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:theSwitch.on forKey:@"myPreferenceName"];
}

then you can load it again anywhere in your app using

BOOL theValueISet = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:@"myPreferenceName"];

Values you set in NSUserDefaults are persistent so if the app is closed and opened again they retain their values. You can call synchronize on NSUserDefaults to force it to save/load the values but this happens automatically on app open/close anyway.
