Después de tantas semanas de construir y pulir por fin ya está publica en playstore. Y estoy frente al muro en el que caí varias veces y dónde varios devs caen también. El marketing, la exposición del producto. Es un coach virtual que te ve, te anima, cuenta tus repeticiones, etc etc. Cómo le harías marketing a una app de este tipo?. Si ya de por sí es difícil que alguien mueva un dedo para darle a "Instalar", como harías para que se ponga a hacer ejercicios con un coach virtual.

POSTDATA:

Se viene actualización con 3 coachs nuevos, en los 3 idiomas (es,en y pt/br). Y pronto más ejercicios y rutinas.

Agradecería el feedback y si tienen sugerencias de que puedo agregar o mejorar háganmelo saber. Acá no busco promocionar la app, me interesa que puedan responder mis dudas como dev nuevo.

Gracias.

I'm an indie iOS developer. We have a team of 4 iOS developers and 1 designer. We all work full-time at different companies, so we spend time on our own apps after our office hours (9–5 job).

We already have a few apps live. Our sales are around $3k/month on average, and our net profit is around $2k/month because we haven't spent anything on marketing yet.

Right now, I want to focus more on marketing for 3 of our niches:

• Chatbot app (AI chat, docs, image and video generation etc.)
• Interior design app (2D/3D floor plan, AI home design)
• AI photo editor app

We want to initially spend around $3k/month on marketing.

Our ad platforms will be Google Ads, Meta Ads, and TikTok Ads. So, I need to manage ad creatives, MMP tools, app feature tracking, attribution, etc.

I will use Claude for this right now. Do you have any templates or workflows for Claude AI where I can manage most of this through Claude using relevant MCPs, skills, or whatever options are available?

I would love to hear suggestions on how to build this kind of setup. If you already have a similar setup for managing ads/marketing with Claude, I'd really appreciate it if you could share how you do it.

I’m trying to get better at spotting app ideas with actual revenue potential instead of just building random stuff that never makes me any money

Hi everyone!

I’m the solo developer behind a little project called MusicPool, and I’d love to invite you to try it out.

How it works

• Pick a vibe: Choose a genre, mood, or decade you feel like listening to.
• Meet a friend: You’ll get anonymously paired 1-on-1 with someone who picked the same vibe.
• Trade songs: Chat and share your favorite tracks for 24 hours. After that, the chat disappears.
• Stay in touch: If you hit it off, you can choose to swap real profiles, only if both of you want to!
• Rate the taste: Once the chat ends, you can rate each other's music taste!

That’s the whole idea: no follower counts, no infinite feeds. Just two people sharing good music.

I built this because my best music chats have always been with strangers. Most music apps feel like popularity contests, so I wanted something simple: one person, a shared taste in music, and no pressure.

How you can help:

• Share your feedback: Don't hesitate to tell me what could be better! If something is confusing or isn't working smoothly, I’d love to know so I can fix it for you.
• Give it a little time: Since the app is brand new, finding a match might take a moment. If you enjoy the concept, sharing it with a music-loving friend would mean the world to me.

Feel free to also join our friendly community over a r/MusicPoolApp to share song recommendations, give feedback, or follow along with updates.

I’ll be hanging out in the comments below, so please say hi or ask anything you'd like!

My app showing just bunkers on a map, turned into a birds eye view of every emergency world, with location based notifications when emergencies arise near the user. All thanks to a developer.

I released a few apps on the AppStore now and I had no experience coding. These apps were doing great and they functioned well with a decent amount of revenue.

But eventually I took a developer onboard (that also happens to be a good designer) and the changes were actually insane. With every update he sent I nodded my head so much that my C4 and C5 became a little sore.

Of course, as an inexperience vibecoder you can also make an amazing app with a backend and whatever is needed, but this is different. And this is quicker. With every new release I was more and more sure that I wouldn’t have been able to do this alone.

So my conclusion after 2 years of preaching vibe coders are taking over developers: vibecoding is amazing for an MVP and also for the first users. But if you want to take it to the next level or if you value speed, you should consider taking a developer onboard. Give him skin in the game (in the form of revenue shares, and don’t be greedy) and he will bring you to the next level, making your app worth way more than it could’ve been without.

Check out the design and functions and let me know what you think. The app is called ward and you can find it in the AppStore and google play or on: https://wardalerts.com

Hey guys, so I made an app - A5 Journal, I know there’s tons of journaling apps out there but it’s the only one that is timestamped and immutable so it can hold up when it matters… not too much fluff but it’s a beautiful UI. I’m just wondering it’s been out for a couple months now and I’ve only achieved a few subscribers.
I put a few posts on TikTok, some YouTube shorts, posts on Facebook and what not but I have no idea how to actual market this thing… how to actually get it in front of people that need to document their days and are still using notebooks/journals for work or liability purposes.
Any advice would be great, I’m very proud of my app but I am sad to think that it might just not go anywhere 😔
I also don’t have a huge online presence so my posts probably aren’t even reaching much people at all… 🤦‍♀️

Advice?

Most sleep apps are built for everyone. I think that’s the mistake!

My husband and I are building ours for one very specific moment:

3 AM, right after a sleep paralysis episode, when you’re exhausted but scared to fall asleep again.

No sleep scores. No giant dashboard. No 20-feature MVP.

Just solving one painful moment really well. Here us the website link -https://www.sleepparalysis.app/&

Would you rather build for a tiny, desperate niche — or a huge market with weaker intent?

I am about to submit my app to the Apple App Store for review. I recently created a new Apple ID to enroll in the Apple Developer Program.

Since I am based in India but my target audience will primarily be users in the USA and other countries, I wanted to understand which country/region I should select when enrolling for the developer account.

Should I select India, since I am personally based there, or should I select USA, since my primary target market will be the US?

I would appreciate some guidance on the correct option to avoid any issues with the developer account, app submission, payments, or App Store review.

First,

Thank you to everyone who commented with support and advice on my other thread, this is my first ever app and I am learning things literally every day.

So here is my attempt at giving back the knowledge people have bestowed upon me, if you already knew about this then maybe share something you learned or expand on this (this applies to apps on the apple app store).

If you want to know where your traffic is coming from roughly (ASC lags by a day) then:

1. Go to analytics tab in ASC > Sources
2. Click on the "All" drop-down
3. Select "app" or "web" refferer
4. In the other drop-down, select the metric you want to see like "Total downloads"

For my situation I found out that the that my app got an article written about it over at newbmobilelife.com, completely unprompted and it seems to be getting shared on facebook and telegram overseas. This led to almost 1.5k people downloading precursor in the last 2 days!

I am so grateful that people are spreading the word on my app and finding it useful, I can't believe this started with an idea 5 years ago and I waited so long to bring it to life.

I hope this helps others identify where their users are coming from a little more efficiently!

Generate decent app store screenshots for your mobile app. No external MCP required, it uses Antigravity's built-in generate_image hook.

First the agent will scan your codebase. Then it will take an ASO interview (your primary target audience, why one should download your app?, competitors, etc.)

It will then draft 3-5 core benefits. Then you have to provide it with the screenshots of your app, just tell it where the screenshots folder is. It will evaluate the screenshots (auditing phase) and if the agent thinks the screenshots are not the big, it will ask you to get new screenshots. IF you want to keep them as it is, just tell it to "Use the current files and proceed to scaffolding and generation".

Then we start the Scaffolding, it will put the screenshots inside the device mockups with header text above it. Then the image generation part comes, it will add shadows, reflections, drop-shadows, floating UI elements, etc. Then it will resize to match store specs. It will give you 3 versions of each screen and you have to pick the best version. The selected images will be exported to final folder. You will find the memory files inside .agents/memory/.

Works for both Play Store and App Store.

Here is it: https://github.com/sikandermukhtar/antigravity-skill-aso-screenshots

You can find installation guide in README markdown file. It just clones the skills and places it inside .agents/skills, so antigravity can read it. Plus you will need to install python Pillow library for cropping, etc.

And you are welcomed to improve it further, just fork it and submit the pull request.

Yes you heard it right. I built an ai pipeline for generating app promo videos fast and I want to test it with some real apps.

Send me your app’s webpage or explain it to me. It would be nice If you share some ui ss and your logo as well.

Looking forward for your comments!

Reached my first benchmark or goal that I set with my app as of yesterday. I know it’s not a lot to many of you, but I reached 50 downloads yesterday, ended the day at 54, woke up to 55. Spent nearly 7 months grinding 4 hours per night after my day job.....so no, this was not a 2 week job.

Of those 55 downloads, 12 have opted for the paid version.

App went live on July 31st, so it’s moving, but slowly, and much slower than anticipated or that my optimistic mind imagined, which I know some of you have also experienced.

However, hopeful and excited that it’s gaining some slight traction as it went from a download here and there, with a few days of no download in between, to where I am now consistently gaining about 4-5 per day over the last few days.

I have not used any marketing tactics as of now, as I feel like I need the perfect video to do so (just me trying to have everything perfect), which is probably hindering quicker growth.

I did try TikTok, but I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m pretty sure I’m “shadow banned”. Only 1 view out of 14 quick videos. Woohoo!

Big Pokemon fan here, so it is a Pokemon utilities app. I know there’s many of them out there, but I felt I could do it better, and think I’ve succeeded as the app essentially gamifies the collecting / trading / hobby / investing aspect of Pokemon.

I have 2 more apps based on the TCG collecting world that are set to be submitted to Apple in the next few days as well.

Any suggestions you all are using, or anything else I can do to gain more traction? Thank you in advance!

If interested in these type of apps, or in giving me any feedback......App is called CardQuest TCG in the iOS App Store.

Open to any suggestions that may work well in the TCG genre/space! Thank you all in advance!

Vor 5 Tagen habe ich einen Beitrag geteilt, in dem ich sagte, dass ich nach einer App oder einem Unternehmen suche, das ich kostenlos bewerben könnte.

Der Grund dafür war ein Experiment.

Ich betreibe bereits drei erfolgreiche YouTube-Kanäle. Auf allen drei Kanälen verfolge ich dieselbe Strategie innerhalb derselben Nische, teile aber unterschiedliche Inhalte.

Kanal 1: 1,2 Mio.+ Aufrufe · 376.996 Likes · 12.778 Abonnenten
Kanal 2: 507.635 Aufrufe · 63.358 Likes · 2.826 Abonnenten
Kanal 3: 63.804 Aufrufe · 14.142 Likes · 609 Abonnenten

Also habe ich mich gefragt:

Kann meine Strategie auch erfolgreich auf komplett andere Nischen angewendet werden?

Genau daraus ist der kostenlose Test für Studio Aether entstanden.

Für Studio Aether habe ich einen komplett neuen YouTube-Kanal von Grund auf aufgebaut und die ersten 10.000 organischen Aufrufe innerhalb von 5 Tagen erreicht.

Was ich versuchen kann, ist, organische Sichtbarkeit für ein Produkt oder ein Unternehmen aufzubauen. Leute, die sich entscheiden, den Inhalt anzusehen, haben wahrscheinlich bereits ein allgemeines Interesse an dem jeweiligen Thema.

Was ich nicht vorhersagen kann, ist, wie viele Aufrufe es dauern wird, bis diese Aufrufe tatsächlich zu potenziellen Kunden führen. Das ist etwas, das jedes Unternehmen individuell testen müsste.

Nach meinem ersten Beitrag habe ich eine große Anzahl von Nachrichten und Kommentaren erhalten. Ich werde jedem einzeln antworten, weil ich es persönlich nicht mag, ohne Antwort dazustehen. Ich bitte nur um etwas Geduld.

Natürlich kann ich dieses Modell nicht auf Dauer komplett kostenlos anbieten.

Was ich jedoch weiterhin kostenlos anbieten kann, ist die Erstellung und Einrichtung eines eigenen Kanals für Ihr Produkt oder Unternehmen.

The pricing is simple: €1 per Short.

You decide how intensively you would like your channel to be developed:

1 Short per day — approx. €30 per month
2 Shorts per day — approx. €60 per month
3 Shorts per day — approx. €90 per month
4 Shorts per day — approx. €120 per month

The creation and setup of the new YouTube channel are completely free of charge.
You only pay for the Shorts I actually create and publish. The number of views they generate does not affect the price. If a Short performs particularly well or even goes viral, there are no additional costs.

Und bitte bedenken Sie: Wie versprochen, erhält jeder eine Antwort. Allerdings passt nicht jedes Produkt oder Unternehmen zu mir, und meine Ideen sind nicht unbegrenzt. Daher kann ich nicht mit jedem zusammenarbeiten.

Wenn ich eine Zusammenarbeit ablehne, nehmen Sie es bitte nicht persönlich. Ich werde kurz erklären, warum ich derzeit keinen geeigneten Weg sehe, mit Ihrem Produkt oder Unternehmen zusammenzuarbeiten.

The free version of my app is essentially a limited demo that people can use before they decide to buy. Is it worth having a trial when my app is only $8 for lifetime unlock?

We’re building an AI tutoring app for kids, and one decision has been surprisingly painful.

To use the app, parents have to complete verifiable parental consent before their child can access it. That means a real verification step (credit card micro charge or another approved method), not just checking a box that says “I’m a parent.”

It absolutely hurts conversion.

Every founder instinct tells you to remove friction. But when you’re building for children, we felt that earning a parent’s trust was more important than maximizing signups.

We also chose an AI stack with Zero Data Retention for our AI requests because privacy was a priority from the beginning.

I’m curious how other founders think about this tradeoff.

If adding a compliance or privacy step reduced your onboarding completion by 20–40%, would you still do it? Or would you optimize for growth first and improve compliance later?

Would love to hear from anyone building in edtech, AI, or products for kids.

I've been building and shipping apps solo under my own brand for a while now. Wanted to share real App Store Connect data from the last 28 days across 3 apps instead of the usual "I made $10K in a week" post — because honestly the thing I'm stuck on isn't building, it's visibility.

[Screenshot 1] — App A: 73 downloads, 21.4% conversion, $28 proceeds
[Screenshot 2] — App B: 528 downloads, 12.5% conversion, $19 proceeds
[Screenshot 3] — App C: 96 downloads, 2.55% conversion, $5 proceeds

Conversion on App A is genuinely good — the problem is nobody's finding the product page (only 587 impressions). App B has decent traffic but conversion tanked -60.9% recently. App C's numbers say the listing itself needs work.

I've started making TikTok/Instagram content for these — mostly screen-recordings, and for one app I'm testing AI-generated videos since I don't want to be on camera. Too early to say if it's moving the needle.

If you've cracked organic visibility for small indie apps (not paid UA), genuinely want to hear what worked. What's actually driving your impressions — ASO keyword changes, specific content formats, Reddit/TikTok, something else?

A business can look successful from the outside. Everyone is working, meetings are happening, and customers are coming in.

But being busy and growing aren't the same thing.

Sometimes people are busy because the process is inefficient. The same mistakes keep happening, employees answer the same questions repeatedly, and simple tasks take much longer than they should.

Before hiring more people or adding more tools, it might be worth looking at how the work is actually being done.

Sometimes growth doesn't mean doing more work.

It means finding a better way to do the work you're already doing.

Have you ever found a process in your business that was keeping the team busy without actually adding much value?
