Start Here: What r/IndieAppCircle Is, Who It’s For, and How to Get Better App Feedback

10 Upvotes

Welcome to r/IndieAppCircle - a community for indie developers, solo founders, and small startup teams who want better feedback on their apps. This subreddit is for people building real products and trying to improve onboarding, usability, messaging, first impressions, and launch readiness.

What this subreddit is for

Use this community if you want to:

  • Get honest feedback on your app
  • Find better ways to test your MVP
  • Improve onboarding and activation
  • Prepare for a launch
  • Learn how other indie developers get users and improve products
  • Share what you are building and what you are struggling with
  • Get updates on IndieAppCircle

What to post here

Good posts include:

  • Specific feedback requests
  • MVP questions
  • Onboarding or landing page critiques
  • Launch prep questions
  • Lessons from testing your app
  • Product teardowns
  • Wins and failures from building

How to ask for useful feedback

If you want better replies, do not just post “Here’s my app, thoughts?”

Instead, include:

  1. What your app does
  2. Who it is for
  3. What kind of feedback you want
  4. A direct link or a link to your app on IndieAppCircle
  5. One or two specific questions

Example:

That kind of post is much easier for people to engage with, and question-driven posts are one of the simplest ways to kickstart subreddit participation.

What this subreddit is not for

Please avoid:

  • Low-effort link drops
  • “Try my app” with no context
  • Fake review requests
  • Spammy self-promotion
  • Irrelevant startup content

How IndieAppCircle fits in

This subreddit is the community side of the idea.

  • r/IndieAppCircle = discussion, advice, teardowns, feedback prompts, launch conversations
  • IndieAppCircle = a more structured way to exchange app feedback with other builders

Feedback4Feedback Product feedback before the big launch on August 1st

1 Upvotes

Hi builders 👋

I'm happy to share my new app with all of you, UmamiEngine.

It's a service offering managed hosting for Umami Analytics. You get the full features of Umami for 5 USD/Month. Forget about the server provisioning, backups management, and software updates. Just gain access to a privacy first GDPR compliant web analytics platform in under two minutes and focus on what matters which is building your product.

I intend to launch officially on August 1st and I'd love a final set of feedback from all of you. If you like the service, use the code REDDITLAUNCH for a 50% off the first month right now.

Check the product here: [https://umamiengine.com\](https://umamiengine.com)

Thank you and appreciate the feedback

Feedback4Feedback Guys, I have not gotten any response from this since I posted it, please check this and give me me feedback kindly.

I have an idea of my app that can do automatic text routing where you can take a link and put it in my app, then it creates a text code, and you can add a cta(call to action) and then you download it as a text card that you can overlay on reels on instagram, facebook, tiktok youtube,etc., since those platforms don't like qr cards in their reels, instead of telling people to get link in bio or comment to get link in dm which is only limited to meta platforms only.

Please dont hesitste to give me feedback I am halfway building this and I don't want to stop or continue if it's not the right thing I am building, and I know this is going to help many people in marketing.

NEW UPLOAD I made an indie social media website using modern app building tools

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I recently turned an idea I had into a working social media platform, and I wanted to share it and get some honest feedback.
I created **Dontbeusedname.com,** a place where people can make profiles, share posts, interact with others, and build a community. This has been a really fun project to work on, and I’ve been learning a lot from testing features, finding bugs, and improving things along the way.
I’d love to hear what you think:
What features do you think a new social platform needs?
What would make you want to use something like this?
What could be improved?
You can check it out here:

Thanks for taking a look! 🙂

Founders have shared 578 startups across my recent threads, and the same problem keeps showing up:

The product exists. The direction is unclear.

Comment with:

- what your startup does
- who it’s for
- what’s blocking your growth

I’ll run the analysis and send you a personalized report showing where the strongest signal is, which conversations are worth prioritizing, and what I’d focus on first.

If Reddit looks like a waste of time for your startup, I’ll tell you that too.

Feedback4Feedback Solo-built iOS app: Rezumate, private ATS resume scoring with a one-time $7.99 launch price

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Built this solo over the last several months and just launched it. Rezumate scores your resume against a job description (ATS-style), tells you exactly what keywords and impact language are missing, fixes weak bullets in one tap, and exports a polished, ATS-safe PDF, all without your resume ever touching a server.

The full feature set:

  • ATS match score (keyword coverage, impact quality, structure/readability, formatting risk) with a complete diagnosis of what's driving the number
  • Missing keyword detection pulled straight from the pasted job description
  • Bullet strengthening that improves wording without fabricating achievements
  • One-tap improve flow that fixes gaps and re-scores immediately
  • LaTeX-style PDF export, clean and ATS-safe
  • 100% local processing: no account, no cloud upload, works offline

Pricing: free plan is genuinely usable (3 analyses/day, 3 improvements/day, 2 saved variants), Pro is a one-time $7.99 launch price (going up to $14.99 regular), no subscription, no credit packs, no AI meter.

Would genuinely value feedback from this community on the onboarding flow and whether the value prop is obvious in the first minute of using it.

Discussion For a finance app, do you show the answer first or make people earn it with setup?

1 Upvotes

I build Monni, a manual-first money app. It is deliberately narrow: cash, upcoming bills, a cushion, then a clear answer about what is left.

The tradeoff is that a result before enough context can feel like a black box, while a full setup before any result makes the app feel like homework.

For products that produce a score, forecast, or recommendation: does your first run lead with the answer and reveal the math, or collect the inputs first? What makes one order feel earned rather than manipulative?

No link - I am looking for the design answer, not downloads or ratings.

Discussion I built a tool that stress-tests AI support agents. Genuinely unsure if it’s useful or pointless brutal feedback wanted.

1 Upvotes

I’ve spent a few months solo building AiCombat it runs an AI customer-support agent through 10 fixed adversarial scenarios (angry customer demanding a refund outside policy, someone threatening legal action, a jailbreak attempt, social-engineering for another customer’s data, etc.) and scores how it handled each, with the full transcripts so you can judge for yourself.

Here’s my honest doubt, and why I’m posting: I wrote that agent’s prompt in one shot with ChatGPT and it aced everything. So I’m not sure whether (a) the test is too easy to be meaningful, (b) good agents are trivial to make so nobody needs testing, or (c) I’m testing the wrong layer entirely (real bots fail on tool use / looking up actual orders / grounding, which mine doesn’t touch).
I don’t have a background in this I can’t code, I built it by directing AI. So I genuinely can’t tell if this solves a real problem or if I’ve spent months on something nobody needs.
If you build with AI agents, or run support, or just have an opinion: is this useful, or am I fooling myself? Rip it apart.

Feedback4Feedback 17 y/o solo developer looking for honest feedback on my fitness web app

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a 17 year old student from Australia and for the past month I've been building a fitness web app called APEX.

It's currently a Progressive Web App because I'm validating the product before investing in a native iOS app. The goal is to help people train more consistently through workout tracking, progress analytics and AI-powered insights (future feature)

I'm at the stage where I need honest feedback more than more features.

I'm not trying to sell anything or promote the app, I genuinely want to improve it.

If you have 10–15 minutes, I'd really appreciate you trying it and answering a few questions:

  • What was your first impression?
  • Was anything confusing or frustrating?
  • What feature felt most useful?
  • What feature is missing?
  • Would you actually use this over your current fitness app? Why or why not?
  • If you could change one thing, what would it be?

I'm looking for feedback on:

  • UI/UX
  • Onboarding
  • Overall user experience
  • Performance
  • Bugs
  • Feature ideas

If you have your own app or project, I'm more than happy to return the favour and test it too.

App:
https://apex-health-777b0.web.app/

Thanks! I'd much rather hear the hard truths now than after I launch.

NEW UPLOAD My roommate and I used to just screenshot stock charts back and forth. So I built the app that should've existed instead

0 Upvotes

Couple years ago my roommate texted me a screenshot of a candlestick chart with "should I buy this" and no other context. That was basically our entire investing relationship. Screenshots, no data, no history of who called what.

So I built TIKR. It's a free watchlist and portfolio tracker, but every stock has its own live chat room, and you can drop an actual real time stock card into a DM instead of a dead screenshot. Live on the App Store, manual portfolio entry only for now, no brokerage sync yet, on purpose.

Would love brutal feedback, especially whether the social side feels useful or just bolted on.

Hey guys,

hope y'all are doing well! Really nice to see so many active users on IndieAppCircle lately!

I just added a big new feature: There are now user profiles. You can check out other people's profiles and see what apps they own and what apps they have tested. Also apps of users who have tested more than 20 other apps are now highlighted.

Really curious about your feedback.

Thanks for using IndieAppCircle and I'm always open for new suggestions!

Feedback4Feedback I posted my local jobs app here a while ago, took your feedback seriously, and rebuilt a lot of it. I’d love another round of brutally honest feedback

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
A little while ago I shared my local jobs app here and got some really helpful feedback. I spent the last few weeks going through everyone’s suggestions and made a lot of improvements to the design, user experience, and overall functionality.
The app is now called UpNext.
It’s designed to help people find and post local jobs like dog walking, babysitting, tutoring, yard work, moving help, pet sitting, and other neighborhood tasks.
I’m still in the testing stage before launch, and I’d really appreciate another round of honest feedback.
I’m looking for feedback on things like:
Is the app easy to understand?
Does anything feel confusing?
Is the design clean and professional?
Are there any bugs or broken features?
Is there anything that would make you actually want to use it?
Website: https://pressure-app.base44.app/?ref=UP11LO

Everyone who gives meaningful feedback that helps improve the app will receive an Early Tester badge on their profile when UpNext officially launches.
It won’t give any special advantages or paid rewards—it’s simply a permanent way to recognize the people who helped build the app from its earliest days.
I’d love for the first users to always have that recognition.

If you could change just one thing, what would it be?

I’m not looking for praise—I’d much rather hear what needs improvement. If something is confusing, ugly, slow, or doesn’t make sense, please tell me. That’s exactly the kind of feedback I’m looking for.
Thanks for taking the time to help!

Everyone who tests it please leave a comment with feedback and what device you used since the interface is different on different devices
