A 100% API-compatible open-source replacement of UICollectionView for iOS 4.3+, written in Objective-C. It lets developers use UICollectionView-style APIs on older iOS versions, with automatic PS-prefixed classes that fall back to native UICollectionView on iOS 6+.

Use cases

  • support collection views on iOS 4.3 or 5.x
  • use UICollectionView API on older iOS versions
  • backport UICollectionView to legacy apps
  • study how UICollectionView works internally
  • interoperate between UI and PST collection view classes

When to choose

  • you must support iOS versions older than 6.0 and want collection views
  • you want a drop-in, API-compatible UICollectionView replacement for legacy codebases

When to avoid

  • you target iOS 6 or later, where native UICollectionView exists
  • you need actively maintained or modern features
  • you need perfect fidelity for advanced or custom layouts
