## What it is
Toast for iOS is an Objective-C category that adds toast notification methods to the UIView class, allowing developers to show lightweight toast messages with a single line of code. A native Swift port (Toast-Swift) is also available for Swift projects.

## Use cases
- show toast notifications in iOS apps
- display brief messages to users with a single line of code
- show toast with custom duration and position
- display toast with title and image
- show activity spinner toast while loading
- customize toast appearance with shared styles
- display any custom view as a toast

## When to choose
- building an iOS app in Objective-C or Swift that needs simple toast notifications
- you want a lightweight, battle-tested toast library with CocoaPods/Carthage support
- you need customizable toast styles, queueing, and tap-to-dismiss behavior

## When to avoid
- building for Android or cross-platform frameworks with their own toast solutions
- you need highly animated or complex notification banners rather than simple toasts
- your project targets platforms other than iOS
