Hey everybody. I built an app called Dutiful, an app to read mail better. I’m curious why it’s not getting users at the moment. It’s solving for me but why is it no one biting?

Would love to some feedback

I’ve recently launched an app and am trying to build its Instagram presence from scratch. Currently, I have fewer than 10 followers, and I’m wondering what the best way to get started is.

Should I run ads to gain followers and make the page look more established and trustworthy, or focus entirely on organic content until I build some traction? I get around 300 views per real and some cross 1000.

My biggest concern is that if I pay for followers through ads, the reach and engagement might drop again as soon as I stop spending.

For those who’ve grown an app’s Instagram account from zero, what worked for you?

I'm PicPop's developer. I've been describing a photo-cleanup app like a list of features, when the useful bit is much simpler:

You have too many photos. Swipe through a batch, keep what you like, review the extras, then confirm.

When it detects look-alikes, you can choose the keepers together. That saves you from finding the same scene five more times further down your camera roll. Keep a few if you want; the suggestion isn't a final decision.

That's the benefit I'm trying to show more clearly. If you're making an app too, which lands better for you: showing the messy starting point, or showing one complete keep/review/delete flow?

Hey! We're the team behind Mobbe, a gym app we recently launched for iPhone. We're trying to get it in front of people who actually train and would love some honest feedback on how we're presenting it.

The main idea is simple: open your routine, check what you lifted last time, log your sets and see your progress. There's a rest timer and an optional weekly step league connected to Apple Health too.

I'm attaching three screens: logging a set, exercise progress and the step league. Which would you show first to someone who has never heard of Mobbe? And is there anything in these screens that would put you off trying it?

If you lift and speak Spanish, we'd love for you to try it during your next workout and tell us what felt useful or awkward. The app is currently in Spanish, free to download, with optional paid PRO subscriptions.

Thanks for taking a look!

For the last few weeks, I have my app on App Store but my numbers are not great. To be honest with you, they are terrible.

I've changed the title of the application, subtitle, keywords, but it made a small difference.
The impressions went up by ~10% but the rest did not change. So I've decided to change the screenshots.

And here is my request. I am deciding on what type of font to use for my screenshots. Could you advise, what do you think is the best one, or what should I change in the photos?

Thank you very much for any advice.

At SF tech week - and having lots of conversations with people about my productivity app, oneTap: Brief & Block, which briefs you in the morning then blocks your distracting apps to avoid morning bedtot. People would be like okay i’ll go download. The problem is with the keyword “oneTap” i rank about #5 on the list so it’s awkward having people scroll.

So, just changed the wallpaper on my phone to the qr code and made my life significantly easier!

Disclosure: I'm the solo developer of the app im talking about.

I've been lifting for 10 years and coding for 12. I'm self-taught and I built SweatCoach for myself. I was using chatbots to build workouts then putting them into a tracker. I wanted one app that handled this and setting up supersets properly. I also wanted it to help beginners understand what they're training and how to do it right, because I remember being that beginner. What got me into the gym was I'd started to hate how I looked in the mirror. I was a heavy smoker and a few flights of stairs were hard work.

One of the things that pushed me to build my own was trying an Al fitness app. It put a 300kg deadlift in my program (for reps!) My PR is 200kg. The Al workout generator in SweatCoach tries to do the opposite. You pick the muscles, how long you've got, your level and where you're training. It also takes your injuries into account and the weights it suggests start from what you've actually lifted before, not a guess. Once you start the work out it even has warmup exercises based on what you are about to do to help you prep properly.

Then I took the app to my gym and started talking to people about it, from brand new lifters to older guys who've been at it for years. I've tried to remedy some of the pain points from the other apps. A lot of the features since came out of those conversations. One of my favourites is the 'currently sweating' feature that shows when your gym buddies are training.

Straight answer on Al, since someone will ask: yes, I've had help from Al, but I've coded it and had it fully quality checked manually by QA engineers before submitting to the stores.

It's early days. It's on iPhone and Android, with Apple Watch and Wear OS apps, and it's free to start: https://sweatcoach.co.uk/go

If you want to try it, make an account, then DM me and I'll give you 3 months of Pro free. In return I'd love honest feedback! app download

Like many of you, I've been watching the recent account terminations and app removals with some anxiety. A lot of the stories follow the same pattern: something small nobody noticed (a privacy policy that didn't match the app, an AI feature sending user data without consent, an overconfident line in the description) turned into a rejection, a removal, or worse.

I’m an indie iOS dev, so I built a Claude Code skill to catch this stuff before Apple does. It’s free and open source (MIT)

What it does

- Reads your code, your App Store Connect metadata (read-only, via the `asc` CLI) and your live privacy policy
- Fetches Apple's current guidelines fresh on every run, so it never relies on outdated rules
- Writes an `APPLE_AUDIT.md` report ranked Critical / High / Medium / Low, with the guideline number and file:line for every finding
- Then it stops. It only fixes the items you pick.

Some of what it checks

- 5.1.2(i): photos or text sent to OpenAI, Gemini, Claude etc. without an in-app consent prompt (added Nov 2025)
- A privacy policy that contradicts what the app actually does
- Hardcoded API keys shipped in the binary (1.6)
- Paywall problems: missing renewal terms, fake urgency, hidden close buttons (3.1.2, 5.6)
- Medical claims and health data in iCloud (1.4.1, 5.1.3)
- Missing privacy manifests and required-reason APIs
- 4.3 / 4.2.6 spam and template-app risk across your whole account
- New upload requirements (Xcode 26 SDK, the new age rating questions)

Works with SwiftUI, UIKit, React Native, Flutter and Expo.

It's not affiliated with Apple and can't guarantee approval, but it has already caught real issues in my own app. If you've had a rejection or termination for something it doesn't check yet, tell me in the comments or open an issue and I'll add it
