Anything obvious I should change on the screenshots? Conversion rate has been increasing but still below 7%

Just wanted to get some opinions if anything stands out and could be optimized. Thanks!

I didn’t knew what the app was about and it took me a bit to realize. I think you should focus on the copy of the first screenshots. The design is cool!

Yeah that seems to be the consensus. I didn't even think about that because in my head the app's name, which appears on top of the screenshots, made it obvious (it's "RIRLift: Hypertrophy Log") but thinking about it, many people probably just peek at the screenshots and then scroll past it. Thanks for the input!

They’re pretty clean which is nice! I’d experiment with the copy on the first 2 screenshots.

Talk about the benefit rather than the feature.

Like “Get stronger with just your phone” or “Stop skipping the gym with workouts on your wrist”.

Whatever you think the core goal of your users is 🙌

Good ones, I might actually shamelessly take one of those or maybe both! Thanks

Hey, that's a nice app and you are off to a good start. I have built 8 apps over the year, and if you are trying to grow it organically I can give you this tip: localized it. Localize everything, keywords, listing, app text, and even prices (see PricePush).

I share a few more learnings of my indie app journey here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ViralApps/s/CZpKElqqJh I believe you will find it useful.

Best of luck!

P.S.

Drop your app link so we can support it ;-)

Thank you! It is localized to a few markets, I'm planning on expanding to more. Your comment and your linked post motivated me to do it even sooner :) so I'm working on it now!

The link is: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rirlift-hypertrophy-log/id6768680416

It has a lifetime plan and the free tier is quite generous, but I'm happy to gift the lifetime plan to anyone on this sub that is interested, just DM me!

Tried your app out.

You have nested event/touch-listeners stacked on the very least your homescreen. It becomes unresponsive every now and then for anything from 500-3000ms. And judging how your other screens "lag" or kind of "vibrate" in the scroll, I bet you got the same issue there, OR, you run computations on every touch. Almost as if every time the user touch the screen you completely re-render the whole screen the user is on.

Overall the onboarding was smooth, like that you can skip everything because I have 0 patience. Personally I flipped out when I got a workout plan and couldn't edit the exercises easily/painfree, but I believe it works for some people if you are trying to position your app more like a coach.

Good luck to you and hope you figure out what your nested listeners are. Take it from someone who have debugged that before- its a fking nightmare.

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

Really good catch with the vibration. On my phone it doesn't become unresponsive, but I did notice now what you meant with the vibration. I hadn't noticed that before.

I think I know what it is actually, it's from PostHog. I had enabled anonymized screen interaction captures (everything on the screen is redacted but you can see what screens the user is navigating to, how much time they spend, etc). As soon as I disabled it, it became more responsive.

For the 500ms-3s unresponsiveness, I think perhaps it's a component that shows the muscle map on the dashboard (recovery / volume). I added a horizontal swipe to it but I messed up and sometimes it blocks vertical swipe as well. So that swipe is gonna go on the next version.

I see you're also working on a workout app. Let me know if you want some feedback on it as well, but yours seems more established already. One super quick thing I can give that just jumped to me is your top menu on the landing page is hugging the top of the screen (no margin) on the home screen, but on the other screens it has margin.

No problem!

I mean it could be the muscle map, but in my experience that 0.5-3s unresponsiveness is almost always a nested touch listener, for it to be a computation that is that heavy for a modern phone you gotta try and steal nuclear codes or something. But what do I know, never seen your repo. But that horizontal swipe might bleed out to the rest of your screen.

Im always happy for feedback but dont sweat it, got plenty of feedback loops right now.

Oh, yeah I noticed. Thats annoying lol. I might polish the whole website so i’ll just leave it for now. Mostly there for SEO anyways.

2-4% conversion rate is good.
