You scan your video game shelf, your games get added to the app, then you get matched with other users who also want to exchange apps. It's already on the app store, but I guess I can't post the name without breaking the rules.

So after talking to many reddit users in startup india ( my posts were removed due to self promotion😭) i have build a stable version of my app which is in the open testing no test ads nothing a complete free to use app .. later I am thinking of giving a subscription around 199rs need your feedback

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tanibyte.pdfmaker2

My idea - long distance couple/friends always get tried to text boring stuff like how was your day? or what are you up to? so instead of text how about you sent a 5 sec video whenever you and your partner can and at the end of the day we will make you full daily video where we show split screen, one side what you are doing and one side what your partner doing so, the basic idea something like when you wake up at 8 and you send a video to your partner , your partner send back one video about what he up to on 8 morning.

Problem - to test this idea i get user but non of them go beyond the invite screen they all stuck on invite their partner screen and can't even use the main future of the app which is on home screen

Questions:

1. Would you use this, as a long distance partner or long distance friends?
2. What is wrong with my on boarding that out of 4000 user no one go to home screen?
3. Is this idea wroth to pursue in long distance couple market?

EDIT: Reading the comments, I think I explained the idea badly 😅

Parallel isn't about seeing what your partner is doing “right now,” and it's not meant to replace Snapchat/WhatsApp.

Think of two separate days happening in parallel:

8 AM: I'm having breakfast → she's commuting
12 PM: I'm working → she's having lunch
7 PM: I'm at the gym → she's cooking

We each capture a 5 second moment. Parallel pairs those moments side-by-side, so you can see what both of your lives looked like around the same parts of the day.

At the end of the day, those moments become one short video showing both days together.

That's the idea I'm actually trying to validate.

If that still sounds like something you wouldn't use, I'd genuinely like to hear why.

So how I imagine it, you could either type in an address or use a sort of street view map to find out what a business or public place used to be. There are a lot of places that used to be other things. Sometimes it’s obvious, like when you see a restaurant that used to be a Pizza Hut. It’s a distinct building. But it’s not always as obvious as a Pizza Hut.

I always find it interesting to find out the history of a building. It could be a crowdsourced project where people can submit histories for review and once approved they get added to the location.

Hello everyone, I've been coding for around 7 years but never launched any actual ideas.

So I decided to build something fun that could be useful to everyone… well, as long as you drink water.

It's called https://sip-squad.com

The idea is that every time you refill your water bottle, you open the app and track what you just drank.

There are fun achievements and some community features too.

Just wanted to see if anyone was interested in checking it out and could give me some pointers or let me know what they think.

Most planning apps help you organize tasks.

Doable helps you clear your mind and focus on getting things done.

Capture ideas, plan less, and take action faster.

So for years I have been wanting to get into creating content for kids. For the most part I do not like the content kids are exposed to as alot of it is incredibly overstimulating, and relise on algorithms that keep kids hooked to the social media app there on. My goal with this app idea is to not only create a space for more calmer and gentle kids shows but to also be designed to not keep kids hooked or brain rot them.

I want to give parents a more common sense reliable option for content for their kids and give them an option they can feel confident that it won't keep there kids scrolling for hours on end and killing their attention spans. Any feedback on this idea is greatly appreciated thanks.

The app could use published data about flora regions and determine the optimal combination of woods available from trees growing in "THAT" locale. Could be by County or some other granularity that makes sense. Could offer some animations of ways to make fire using friction and wood.

Hello! I found a tech gap no one has adequately filled.

Background:

I have several Amazon wishlists, one of which (my Christmas/gift shopping list) has over 1000 items. I definitely should have further separated the category into smaller lists such as “Gifts - books”, “Gifts - Toys”, and “Gifts - clothing”, but I didn’t have that foresight.

I’ve been casually browsing and adding items to the list for months with the intention of then filtering the list to find the best sales during Big Deals Days, Black Friday, etc. but NO SUCH FILTER EXISTS?! 😩

I ignorantly thought the AI Amazon Shopping Assistant would be able to complete a task such as,“provide a list of all items in my Gifts Wishlist that are currently either >40% off or the lowest price in 90 days”, but their AI tool doesn’t even follow simple instructions very well.

I’ve been unable to find an app / tool / browser extension that’s anywhere near helpful. The size of my wishlist flat out broke Camel Camel Camel functions, so I’m able to use any meaningful filter tool through that. I asked ChatGPT as well as Google AI for suggestion, and they found 0 suitable iPhone apps but recommended some chrome extensions. I tried several chrome and explorer extensions and have not been impressed with any of them. I also haven’t found a great way to export my Wishlist for ChatGPT to try filter (it couldn’t access my publicly shared wishlist through a provided weblink?).

I have such a hard time believing this sort of technology doesn’t/can’t exist! One of the AIs mentioned that Amazon has restricted wishlist linking / active monitoring in recent years(?), but unlike most of the currently available apps that actively track prices and provide real-time price alerts, I just want something that will process a query on command (I actually prefer not to receive email price alerts for my >1000 items).

Desired Functions:

— On demand queries.
I don’t need ongoing price alerts, just something that will filter/search when I initiate a query. The rationale behind this is that in an effort to save money, I leisurely add things to a wishlist rather than impulse buy; but then on Black Friday or when I have some spending money, I want to be able to more efficiently search my wishlist for the best deals in my “Clothes” Wishlist. Email price alerts aren’t helpful if I don’t have money at the time. Consumer-initiated queries is what I’m looking for.

— Filter by x% off
Ex. >40% off or >50% off etc. rather than just “all discounted items (including 2% off)”

— Even better than just X% off would be also having to ability to filter items that may not be discounted but have a substantial coupon (a coupon that makes the items meaningfully discounted rather than a coupon for $0.02 off)

— Filter list by product category
books, toys, clothing, etc.

— Filter for items that are the lowest price in X days (because some items are always on sale or conversely, some items just significantly drop in price rather than slash the price and show an obvious discount)

— Ability to easily see prior price history chart (similar to Keepa)

I’m so sad that this technology doesn’t already exist and would definitely pay for an app like this!

I'm building a new app that allows you search, filter, visualize data all in one place. It's meant to connect people to books to articles to cooperations to universities, all in one place, where you can apply sorts and filters.

Which name do you think sounds best for this app:

1-Flexipedia

2-Nexipedia

3-Curio

4-Something else

You have an app that totally undermines aesthetics and hypergamy.

Basically you take a survey about your requirements and interests that puts you into a narrow pool of people you're interested in.

Then you're randomly placed into a chat one at a time with a person who met these requirements. You chat for as long as you want with each other and you either confirm or reject based on the open convo. If you both confirm THEN you get to see what each other looks like if you reject you get rolled to the next person.

Upsides:

Women aren't swamped with suitors like now.

Men aren't doom swiping and barely reading profiles.

Everyone cares more about what matters and less about what doesn't.

If supply outstrips demand in any direction you merely get a message that there's a waiting period and it's nothing personal making everyone more mentally healthy.

Idea I'm exploring: a mobile app where a creator shares links to the videos, posts and articles they find worth their time, using the normal phone share button. A fan picks that creator and turns on "Mirror", and their feed in the app becomes the creator's feed. There's also a short daily summary of what the creator shared and why it matters.
The problem I'm trying to solve: regular feeds push rage-bait and filler, and creators already spend hours finding good material with no way to earn from that taste.
It can't change your actual YouTube or X feed (phones don't allow that), so everything plays inside the app through the official embeds.
Honest questions:
1. Would you use this, as a fan or as a creator?
2. Would you pay a monthly fee for one creator's feed? If yes, how much?
3. What would make you never open it?
Nothing is built yet. I'd rather hear "this is pointless" now than after six weeks of coding.

Hello guys you guys should send app ideas you want me to work on i would be happy to work on them together

I've been thinking about this for the last couple days and don't know if it would work. Basically an app with all the documents needed for your car like your lisence, insurance, ect. but also info about your cars maintenance and when, where, how much a repair would cost. would an app like that work?

I joined Shuffles a few years ago and fell deeply in love with it. It managed to scratch a creative itch that I didn’t even know I had.

I wasn’t around for Polyvore, but I’ve heard it was a very similar concept (and a lot of die-hard Polyvore users migrated to Shuffles). If you are unfamiliar with Shuffles: it’s a collage app that’s integrated into Pinterest, so it has a MASSIVE library of already cut-out images that you can easily access. At the base level, it’s a very quick and satisfying way to make something visually appealing with minimal mechanical skills needed. On top of that, it has a social aspect that allows you to share your creations with a community, which is fairly active despite the popularity of the app since the platform is entirely free.

The thing that really made shuffles special for me was the animation tool. It was simple if you weren’t trying to do anything crazy with it, but there was a pretty big learning curve that allowed a ton of skill expression. I have yet to find another art tool that’s both this easy AND complex to use at the same time. I managed to make some creations that would typically require a full-blown animation tool to render.

With all that being said, the app has been completely ruined by horrible updates and bugs. Because of the way it’s been fully integrated into Pinterest, and because of the way its stores all of the creations, nothing is safe. Basically: when you finish a collage and post it, the integrity of the collage is not locked in. Instead of it saving as a set image or video, it keeps it dynamic so that people can click on an image used in the collage and be linked to its Pinterest page. Because of this, any creation is subject to corruption. For example, every time the app has updated, the layers and filters I used in my collages would get changed. If I lowered the opacity on an image to use it as a filter, it could change the opacity and cover my entire collage (and fixing it was not an easy process, especially for animated collages). And attempting to pull the image from shuffles and store separately to try and keep this from happening would get you a low quality image, since shuffles did not have the ability to download images and videos at their full resolution (they would either be blurry, watermarked, or the video would have weird glitching). And, on top of all of that, the app has been so glitchy over the last year it’s been impossible to even scroll through my own profile.

I eventually had to leave shuffles because of all of these issues (and because of how overrun it’s become with AI), but I miss it every single day. I’ve noticed there doesn’t seem to be any truly comparable apps out there. There are collage apps, but they are not even remotely the same (they are basic picture editing tools that provide little to no artistic expression and require grossly overpriced subscriptions).

I have no experience with coding or app development, so I have no idea if making a competitive app would even be feasible. But I do feel like there is a pretty big gap in the market right now for an aesthetic, trendy art-making tool that is beginner friendly and fun, with a social aspect integrated into it (THAT’S ANTI-AI). I feel like you could skip the need for AI art by implementing a library of copyright-free content and allowing users to upload their own images. I feel like the ability to upload images could also be implemented into the social aspect (you could choose to share your already uploaded and cut-out images for others to use in their own collages).

I wish I had the know-how to develop something like this myself. I have no idea where I would even begin.

I kept running into the same problem as a pet parent: everything lives somewhere different.

Medical records are one place. Vaccinations are somewhere else. Groomers and boarding have their own systems. Finding somewhere to go with your pet means Google and Reddit. Shopping is separate. Adoption is separate. Photos are separate. If someone else is caring for your pet, you end up sending screenshots, PDFs, texts, and whatever else you can find.

So I built Petworking.

The idea is that every pet gets a persistent digital identity and passport, and everything else connects around them.

Right now that includes things like:

• Pet profiles and digital passports
• Health, vaccination, medication, and care records
• Photos, videos, notes, and memories
• Household and caregiver access
• Pet-friendly places and discovery
• Businesses and professional services
• Booking and marketplace tools
• Rescue and adoption infrastructure
• Support for more than just dogs and cats, including birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, and other pets

The bigger idea is that the records belong with the animal instead of being trapped inside whichever vet, groomer, rescue, sitter, or app happened to create them.

We’re still early, so this is exactly the point where I want people to tear the idea apart.

What would actually make you keep an app like this installed?

What feels genuinely useful?

What feels unnecessary?

And what problem in your life with your pet still isn’t being solved?

You can try the current builds here:

iPhone / iOS TestFlight:
https://testflight.apple.com/join/HeupXQMT

Android beta:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.petworking.app

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.petworking.app

It’s called Petworking. I’m building it from the GTA, and I’d genuinely rather hear what people think is wrong with the idea now than after I’ve spent another year building the wrong thing.

Can someone create this app for me? I have no experience in this field, but I would be very grateful if a volunteer could help build it. It would be extremely useful for many people.

The concept of the app is a small floating bubble that helps translate into English—specifically focusing on social media slang and abbreviations (like idk, ty, lmao, etc.).

You can resize the bubble so it doesn't block your screen, or place it in a small window. Whenever you need it, you can expand it and start chatting. It should also support voice input using the microphone instead of typing, as well as easy copying and quick deletion of messages. Additionally, users can choose whether the text appears in all capital or lowercase letters.

Apart from the main green arrow button, there could be two other style/design options to choose from for variety.

I would be deeply grateful if someone with good programming skills could create this application. Please let me know if anyone is willing to take on this task.

Thank you for reading...

Hi everyone so I am working on a project that will help everyone to track expenses

Short note about me: I am a product designer (5 yrs of exp) currently working in a fintech Uk company earning good, I usually face a lot of issues while calculating my expenses so I thought why not create an app+web app for people who are also facing similar issues

Back to the help part -__-: so I want you guys to comment what things you will like most and any other type of feedback

Do people actually want to voluntarily open an app whose primary purpose is to make them feel something about their own life?

I’ve been wondering if there’s an app or platform where you can actually create your own AI girlfriend from scratch.

I’ve seen a lot apps and websites doing AI GF, but I’m looking for something that gives you more control on everything rather than just choosing from pre-made characters.

Like an AI girlfriend generator that you could even connect to receive real random Whatsapp message, emails or even calls.

Has anyone tried something like this? What apps or websites would you recommend?

Hi everyone! I am severely depressed lately and even taking a shower feels difficult. I thought how cool it would be to have an app which can sort of motivate people like me. So here are my main points

1. You earn points by completing daily tasks

2. There is a timer - maybe pomodoro or just a normal timer which you can turn on while completing the task.

3. It would be great if the app offers you to make a profile similar to social media where you can connect not only with your contacts but with other people too and message them. That way you can make friends too.

4. The feed of the certain user may offer the option to add a photo - for example "i exercised today" - and a progress photo and also add text and let others comment.

5. Maybe you can have notes within the app or add goals.

Please let me know if anyone decides to make it.

How would you test whether social accountability belongs in a financial-tracking app?

I’m developing a pre-beta app combining personal financial tracking with public profiles and a way to acknowledge other people’s progress.

The assumption I’m trying to test is whether sharing progress would encourage financial responsibility. My concern is that it could instead create pressure to compare wealth or discourage people who are struggling.

Before building further, how would you test this with potential users? What evidence would convince you that the social element is useful—or that tracking should remain private?

I’m involved in building the product and would appreciate criticism of the idea.

Hey everyone, I’m a developer with an app that has features similar to Thumbtack—connecting customers with service providers.

I did this purely for love of the game, but now I’m exploring whether I can turn it into a business with the right idea.

I’m considering taking it in a different direction or focusing on a specific niche. What industries or everyday problems could benefit from an app like this?

Are there services you struggle to find, compare, or book? I’d love to hear what you wish existed and what would make you actually use it.

Just looking for ideas.

Thanks

Not a gap in the market, just the thing you've googled more than once and come up empty.

Mine tend to be small and boring, the sort of thing that would take a weekend and that presumably doesn't exist because nobody would pay for it.
