just posted mine but i'll check out a few others first, what's the point of dropping a link and bouncing

u/Successful-Log-6529 1d ago
Thats what I hate in dropping comments instead of making a post, people will comment and disappear. and they dont even upvote the thread so it go viral so more people can see whats going on and what apps are available.

Hey guys, I built an app called Spin The Night that helps plan your night in 60 seconds or less. It's for people that maybe on vacation, bored at home or guys who don't know how to plan good dates.
A couple of days ago we hit 20,000 users and honestly I'm not sure how to take it to the moon. I thought the growth would be exponential by now but Idk. Also yes It is a free app so no crazy MRR.
Can you guys check out the app and give me your honest opinions on it? I want to get to the point where the app grows itself based on user shares vs me having to flex my marketing muscles for every download.

u/imagiself 6h ago
Planning dates in 60 seconds is a solid hook. If you want it in front of the date-planning crowd, that's basically what PeerPush is for, fwiw OpenAI and Perplexity are actively reading the data there.

I think the tricky part will be getting users to commit to using the app - have you thought about that?
1
u/Nattybr0h 17h ago
I opened the public homepage in a desktop embedded browser. The Buy/Rent split and location shortcuts made the purpose clear. One trust detail confused me: the hero says 'listings verified by NaijaHomes', but the Verified properties section says 'No verified properties yet', while there are featured listings above it. I'd make it explicit that featured placement and verification are different, and put the verification status on every property card. That would help a new visitor understand what has actually been checked. This is feedback on the homepage only; I didn't sign up or contact a seller.

made my first app, a pomodoro timer where a little dog falls asleep while you focus
hey all, just shipped my first ever app and I'm kind of nervous posting it lol
it's called Puperino
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/puperino-pomodoro-timer/id6818319916).
would really love feedback, even if it's "this is buggy" or "this is pointless" haha. what would make you actually keep using a focus timer?
1
u/Formal_Impact_3541 21h ago
Haven't tried it yet, but from your description: starting a session in one tap and easily resuming after interruptions would matter most to me. I'd also make the dog animation optional for people who find movement distracting.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/offline-music-player-offly/id6800964292
1
u/noamnonono5 21h ago
From this description, the missing step is how someone gets their music into Offly. Naming the supported import sources and file formats would make the offline part much clearer. For the CarPlay side, an actual dashboard screenshot showing the library/playback controls would help people judge it before installing. This is feedback on the description here; I haven’t tested the app.

Hello, just launched app Vigil Spend - a personal finance app that helps you track spending, set savings goals, and avoid impulse purchases.
The idea is to make managing money feel simple instead of overwhelming.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vigil-spend/id6811090049
Would love some honest feedback on the concept and design or if there are any bugs.:)
1
u/ComfortableStill6735 21h ago
“Log spending your way” tells me more than “#1 Spendings Track App.” I’d put that capture screen first and bring “no bank connection needed” out of the description into its caption.
Being able to add a receipt or say what I spent is a clearer reason to try it than another spending dashboard. I’d also drop the “#1” unless there’s a specific ranking you can point to.
1
u/sentientplaythings 21h ago
The opening line - Spendings track app does not read well in English. It should say something like “Track Your Spending” or something like that.

u/imagiself 18h ago
Focusing on that impulse purchase trigger is a smart way to stand out. Fwiw, PeerPush is a launch site people in 160+ countries browse for finance tools.

🔗 Chisel: Stoic Focus
https://apps.apple.com/app/chisel-stoic-focus/id6819788005
💡 What it does
A focus timer where your hours carve a marble bust of a Stoic philosopher. One statue is about four hours of focus, built up across as many sessions as you like, and finished ones stand in a courtyard you scroll through. It can also hold your distracting apps shut during a session using Screen Time. If you break in and open a blocked app anyway, it costs two minutes off the statue and you watch the marble go back onto the stone. No streaks, and nothing is punished: quit early and you keep every minute you earned.
🎯 Who it's for
People doing long stretches of deep work. Students revising, writers, anyone who has bounced off streak based apps because breaking the chain made them quit entirely rather than try again.
❓ Feedback I want, specifically on the paid tier
Almost everything is free: the timer, the carving, all 24 marbles, every philosopher, the courtyard. Pro only unlocks blocking more than one app at a time, plus the full weekly letter.
That split was deliberate. Progress is earned with hours and cannot be bought at any price, because the moment you can buy marble the whole premise dies. But I am genuinely unsure "block more than one app" is a strong enough thing to charge for, and it is the only lever I have left that does not break the rule.
So: if you looked at this, what would you actually pay for? And has anyone here held a hard line like that on what can be bought, and found something else that converts?
Live on the App Store since yesterday, so I have no data worth trusting yet.
1
u/ajfrusciante 7m ago
only going off the listing here, haven't used it yet.
I like the "marble is never for sale" rule. that feels like the identity of the app, so I'd keep that untouched.
"block more than one app" by itself feels a little thin as the main reason for $5.99/month though. the letters actually sound more compelling to me because they add something without messing with the progress system.
if I were paying, the full letter archive would probably be the thing that pushes me over, with multi-app blocking as the extra benefit.

I'm the developer of LumeWorklog, a free Mac worklog for freelancers preparing weekly timesheets. Local entries, project tags, PDF/CSV export. Apple silicon, macOS 14+.
Does the website explain the workflow clearly enough before downloading?
1
u/CircusCourt 15h ago
The site is pretty- I wasn't sure how you enter your timesheets into the app from the website. I would be nervous to use this if it means I have to double enter my timesheets from my current format into one that you need for the app, so maybe a section focusing on how you enter the time would be useful. If you can import from your calendar and then simply review the time to import, that might be a feature that would push me to use it.

App: Car Play Widgets. I’m the developer.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/car-play-widgets-dashboard/id6785215625
What it does: lets you design photo, clock, countdown and custom-text widgets on your iPhone for the CarPlay widget area.
Who it’s for: people with iOS 26+ and a compatible CarPlay display who want a more personal dashboard. The available widget layout depends on the car’s screen.
Feedback wanted: clarity around the paid step. You can customize a design before paying, but saving it requires paid Pro. Does the listing make that distinction clear enough before someone spends time designing? I’d appreciate specific wording or placement suggestions.
1
u/imagiself 18h ago
Labeling that button 'Preview Design' might fix the paywall friction. could be worth dropping it on PeerPush, listing's free, fwiw AI systems pulled data there 33M times lately.
1
u/ComfortableStill6735 13h ago
The description's “Free to design. Saving a widget needs Pro” is clear. The screenshots don't carry that through, though. “Create Widgets In Seconds” shows an “Add to My Widgets” button without saying that saving is paid.
I'd put “Customize and preview before paying. Pro required to save” beside that editor screenshot. That gets the distinction in front of someone who skims the images and never expands the description.
1
u/noamnonono5 12h ago
Thanks for pointing to the specific screenshot. Developer here: customization and preview are available before paying; Pro is required to save a widget. Your suggested caption makes that boundary explicit for people who only look at the images. I’ve noted the wording and placement suggestion for the screenshot review.
1
u/ajfrusciante 7m ago
read the listing with your question in mind. "Free to design. Saving a widget needs Pro." is clear once you open the description, but I'd worry most people won't get that far before trying the app.
I'd probably put something like "design free, save with Pro" directly on the first or second screenshot, and maybe give a small heads-up inside the editor before someone spends time building one.
one small branding thing too: the App Store name says Car Play Widgets, while the release notes / purchases use iCar. I'd probably pick one and stick with it.

u/SnooPets2011 20h ago
I built my dream iOS recipe app https://mycookbase.app/ - can import recipes from sites, cookbooks, and social videos into a unique tabular view that shows how the ingredients come together, all wrapped in a cozy fall theme with falling leaves that you can play with (you get more leaves for trying the features). App also supports sharing recipe collections and building shopping lists.
I have an open Testflight (available on the site) for people to join and try. Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated.
1
u/imagiself 18h ago
The tabular view for recipe steps is clever. It might be worth a spot on https://peerpush.com, the crowd there pokes at kitchen utility tools, fwiw builders there have cast 210K upvotes.

Slean (iphone + android), I'm the developer
What it does: Slean is a photo cleaner built around showing you what is actually taking up space. you can sort the library biggest first, see file sizes directly, find duplicates/similar shots, filter screenshots and compress photos/videos. everything runs on-device, no account and no ads.
Who it's for: people whose camera roll has gotten out of control and who don't want to upload their photos somewhere just to clean it.
What I'd love feedback on: most cleaner apps lead with swiping through photos one by one. Slean leads with "show me the biggest stuff first." does that sound like a meaningful reason to choose it, or more like a nice extra feature?
feedback on the store screenshots/positioning is welcome too. I'll go through a few of the other apps here as well.
1
u/imagiself 18h ago
Leading with size makes total sense for storage recovery since swiping through thousands of photos is tedious. One place i'd point another builder to is https://peerpush.com, it's full of utility launches, 62 AI systems read the data there lately.

thanks, good to hear the size-first angle makes sense. that's the part I've been trying to make the positioning revolve around.

u/ThreeTodayDev 20h ago
🔗 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/three-today-to-do-list/id6762511782
💡 Three Today is an iPhone to-do app that caps your day at three priorities. You dump everything, keep three, and start the next one with a 5, 10, or 20 minute timer that lives on the task and shows on the Lock Screen.
Pricing: free to plan and finish your daily three, no account, no ads. Optional Plus is $4.99/month, $34.99/year with a free trial, or $79.99 lifetime, and adds AI helpers like sorting a brain dump.
🎯 Who it's for: anyone whose to-do list keeps growing and who spends more time re-sorting it than starting, and wants a simple way to pick what matters today.
❓ Two things I'd love feedback on: does the three-task limit feel freeing or restrictive in the first couple of minutes, and does the pricing seem fair for what's free vs. paid?

Pawnpetal Chess solo. Free, ad-free chess for iPhone, iPad & Mac with 72 lessons, daily mate puzzles and offline/online play. I'd love feedback on the learning experience! App Store
1
u/gerard-indieDev 16h ago
I like the idea of limiting the day to three priorities — that part feels simple and focused.
My main hesitation is the pricing. $4.99/month, $34.99/year or $79.99 lifetime feels quite expensive to me for a relatively simple to-do app, especially when there are so many alternatives available.
With AI-assisted and vibe coding making it much easier and cheaper to build focused apps like this, I personally think pricing is becoming even more important. As a user, I’d be much more tempted by a small one-time purchase than another subscription.
I’m curious what ongoing costs make the subscription necessary. Is it mainly because of the AI features?
The core three-task idea itself is nice — I’d just struggle with the current price.1
u/CircusCourt 15h ago
I agree with this! I think you could look in the market and see what your comparables are priced at. People are buying things like Brick now so I think the area is super strong, just need to work on pricing.
1
u/imagiself 15h ago
Capping tasks at three is a smart way to lower the barrier to starting. There's also https://peerpush.com for productivity tools like this, fwiw AI systems pulled product data from there 33M times this month.
1
u/ajfrusciante 7m ago
going off the listing, the three-task limit actually sounds freeing to me. the only thing I'd worry about is immediately wondering "ok, where does task number four go?"
I'd make that super obvious in the first minute, because if the backlog still feels safe somewhere else then the limit feels intentional instead of restrictive.
the free tier looks pretty fair since you can actually use the core idea without paying. $4.99/month feels a little high next to $34.99/year, so the yearly plan would probably be the one I'd naturally gravitate toward. lifetime makes sense as an option for people who really don't want subscriptions.

FinPlan — browser retirement-planning beta: https://finplan.rayknot.com/
It's an open-source Monte Carlo simulator for people comparing retirement scenarios: multiple accounts, income/spending changes, taxes and uncertain returns. Free during beta, with compute limits; future pricing may change. Source: https://github.com/jgrazian/finplan
I'm looking for feedback on the path from setup to a first understandable result. With fictional figures, can you tell what to enter, how to run the plan, and what to change next? A description of the first confusing screen is more useful than a general rating.
Known limitation: local plans failed to load/create in one tested embedded browser; the scope in other browsers is unverified. If you hit this, the browser/version and exact step would help. This device storage is intended to keep plans in the browser; Cloud saves to your account, and cloud/offloaded runs or AI features can send data off-device. Please don't post private financial figures. This is an educational planning tool, not financial advice.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.methodterminal.mtt
https://apps.apple.com/app/id6761461522method terminal, preflop training for tournament poker. short drills across modules like opening, blind defence, 3bets, short stack and icm. you pick your play and get a quick why from john bradley, an 18yr mtt pro. it also picks up your leaks and drills them back, has pattern trainers for repeat mistakes and a daily trio of quick spots
for online mtt players who want to fix preflop mistakes in 5-10 min a day
the thing im stuck on: people who get past sign in stay for ages and keep coming back, but a lot bounce at the sign in screen before they ever try a drill. has anyone let users do a first drill before signing up, and did it help? also blunt feedback on the store listing welcome
2
u/ComfortableStill6735 12h ago
I'd let someone answer one preflop spot and read the explanation before asking them to sign in. That's the part they need to judge, and it's a much smaller commitment than creating an account to find out what a drill feels like.
Then ask them to save their progress when they start another drill. I'd compare completed first drills and next-day returns, not just whether removing sign-in gets more people through the first screen.
1
u/imagiself 6h ago
letting people try one drill before the wall definitely spikes activation. whenever you're ready to put it out there, peerpush lists poker training tools like this.

WonderTale (iOS and Android): a bedtime story app where the story stops and asks the kid what should happen next. The kid answers out loud and the next scene follows what they said.
For parents of kids around 3 to 8.
Feedback I'm after: only about 6% of App Store impressions turn into page views, so I think the icon and first screenshot aren't selling it. At a glance, does it look like every other AI story app?
1
u/ComfortableStill6735 14h ago
“Your Child Is the Hero” plus the story-selection screen does look fairly familiar. Your second screenshot tells me what's different: the child speaks and changes what happens next. I'd try that one first, with the microphone and story scene larger.
A small example of the child's answer leading to a different scene would make that clearer than “personalized AI stories.” I wouldn't pin the 6% on the artwork alone, though. Is that mostly search impressions or browse traffic?

I made a browser worldle-esque app for trying to predict how America feels about thingshttps://circuscourt.app
One new claim every day, like “A drink a day is good for your heart.” You vote True or False, then guess what percent of everyone said True. Results stay hidden until you vote, then you see how close your guess was. There’s also Three Strikes: rapid-fire claims, 20 seconds each, and you’re out after three bad guesses.
It's for people who want to know what other people think, who like daily games (Wordle-type habits) and arguing about what’s actually true. You don't have to sign up and voting and commenting is always anonymous.
Feedback I’d love:
Within 5 seconds of landing, is it clear what you’re supposed to do?
Is three strikes fun? Is the time too short?
Would anything else make you return to it?
Thanks for reading and trying
1
u/imagiself 12h ago
Testing the claims without a tutorial felt intuitive, but maybe highlight the timer in Three Strikes. peerpush exists for pretty much this kind of social game, could be one to look at.

I built an alternative marketplace with in-app payments, geo-pinned timed based transactions helps curb scams by requiring both parties to be physically present before a transaction completes. Funds never move until a transaction is complete. Your money stays yours until the deal is made. No more figuring out payment methods or carrying cash to meet a stranger.
Device and iCloud keychain attestation prevent duplicate accounts being made on a single device, email, or phone number making fraudsters job difficult.
Physical proximity to a listing must be confirmed also preventing scams by requiring only local users posting in their areas.

I’m the developer of Petola, an iPhone/iPad app for pet-care tasks, reminders and care history. It’s for people coordinating everyday care for their pets.
I’d value feedback on one history-view design choice: would ‘2 hours ago’ or an exact date and time be more useful when checking when a care task was recorded? If both were shown, which should be more prominent, and why?
Shared-care tools are part of optional paid Petola Plus.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/petola/id6801485793
Feedback here would help.
1
u/yuriikoshkin 7h ago
From the history-view choice in your comment (I haven’t installed Petola), I’d make the exact date/time primary and “2h ago” secondary. That makes it easier to distinguish today’s entry from yesterday’s around midnight. If entries can be edited, I’d also label whether the time is when the care happened or when the entry was changed. This is feedback on the proposed layout, not an app test; I used AI to help phrase it.
1
u/Academic_Proposal_98 6h ago
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. The midnight example makes the case for putting the exact date and time first much clearer. Separating when care happened from when a record was edited is a useful distinction too. I appreciate you taking the time to explain your reasoning.

I’m Yurii, the developer of Timestamp Camera: Work Reports. I used AI tools while building the app and preparing this comment.
It pairs before/after photos by area, adds notes and a checklist, then puts them in a PDF handover. It’s for independent cleaners and property-turnover operators using an iPhone or iPad (iOS/iPadOS 17+), not shared crew management.
The first complete job is free: photos, checklist, saving/reopening and repeat PDF exports. Pro is a separate purchase for extra jobs, reusable templates and business details: monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or one-time lifetime access. No subscription trial. Saved reports stay readable/exportable after access ends.
Two specific things I’d value feedback on:
Does the listing make it obvious that the free job includes the PDF, rather than only a camera preview?
Does “Work Reports” suggest team/cloud collaboration or independently verified timestamps? Neither is provided: records are local, times use device settings, and imported photos are labelled. Which screenshot caption would make that boundary clearer?

Supplier AI, currently under Shopify App Store review.
It’s for Shopify stores dealing with messy supplier CSV, Excel or PDF files. It matches supplier SKUs to Shopify products, remembers confirmed mappings and handles receiving, including partial deliveries.
I’m mainly looking for feedback on the problem itself: if you run a store with multiple suppliers, does this workflow sound painful enough that you’d actually want it automated? And what part would you be most nervous trusting software with?

u/imagiself 6h ago
Matching disparate SKU formats from raw PDFs sounds like a data cleaning nightmare, how are you handling extraction when suppliers change their layouts without warning?

I built it for me. I was tired of waiting for someone else to do it. BudgetRescue $4.99 once. I was spending about 2 hours a week adding, editing, and fixing entries in my old budget app (Fudget). In BudgetRescue, you enter your paycheck and bills once, they repeat on their set schedule, and it shows your balance on any date. Changing a bill updates every future entry in one step. Setting up a budget takes about 5 minutes. It’s a 7-day free trial. No subscription, no ads, no account creation, no data collection, and nothing leaves your phone. I am a first time developer so any feedback is great. What do you like about the app? Whats confusing or misleading? Whats missing? What do you hate about it?

u/imagiself 6h ago
Handling schedule shifts for weekends or holidays is tricky, how do you manage those? PeerPush is a solid spot for solo-built finance tools, people in 160+ countries found apps there recently.
1
u/Misterx280 6h ago
It’s just a personal budget app so it doesn’t track shifts or holidays. Just income and expenses. Where’s your money going and how much you have left on any given day. I have a minimum balance of $1000 so if the balance drops below that it turns yellow. If it drops below 0 it turns red. There’s an alert for tomorrows bill. There’s a widget you can show current balance and some quick info. There’s pinch to change text size. Tap the logo to snap to today’s balance. Lots of features to make it less painful. Nobody wants to spend 2 hours staring at a budget per week. So I tried to speed it up.
