## What it is
WEPopover is an Objective-C library providing a generic popover implementation for iOS that mirrors the UIPopoverController API but works on iPhone and iPad. It supports custom background views, limited display areas, and repositioning of existing popovers.

## Use cases
- show popovers on iphone
- custom popover background ios
- uipopovercontroller alternative for iphone
- reposition popover without dismissing
- limit popover display area

## When to choose
- you need UIPopoverController-style popovers on iPhone
- you need custom-styled popover backgrounds in an older Objective-C iOS app

## When to avoid
- building a modern Swift/UIKit app with native popover alternatives
- targeting only iPad where UIPopoverController exists
