SDCycleScrollView is a fast, easy-to-use carousel/slider for iOS that supports infinite looping, auto-scroll, and customizable page indicators. It loads images from local bundles or URLs and commonly pairs with caching libraries so banners feel snappy on flaky networks. The control offers delegate callbacks for selection and scroll events, along with properties for timing, placeholder images, content mode, and page control alignment. Integration is as simple as dropping the view into a storyboard or creating it in code and supplying an image source array. Its layout is tuned for smooth paging and minimal stutter, even when embedded inside complex scroll views. Frequently used for homepage banners and promotional carousels, it provides a reliable, minimal-code path to production-ready sliders.
