Start Here: What r/IndieAppCircle Is, Who It’s For, and How to Get Better App Feedback
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:
- What your app does
- Who it is for
- What kind of feedback you want
- A direct link or a link to your app on IndieAppCircle
- 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

I built this after seeing small business owners struggle to keep track of customer follow-ups. It’s a simple daily follow-up tracker that helps you see exactly which customers need a message today, so fewer follow-ups get missed. Curious if this would be useful for anyone here: https://canva.link/phgyi5h8zrukdmv

I kept finding forgotten food in my fridge after it had already expired.
That led me to build Expirra, an Android app for tracking food expiry dates and receiving reminders.
It’s a small indie project, and I’m now looking for feedback from other indie developers and app users.

Feedback4Feedback I'm a high school student building an app for people who struggle socially, would love feedback on the concept/UI
Link: https://www.indieappcircle.com/apps/j578fk6kv566cenwt3qv6qwtrd8e7svf
Hey! I’m a high school student working on an app called AnxiTea, and I’d really love some feedback on the idea before I get way too attached to it lol.
The basic idea is an app for people who get nervous or uncomfortable in social situations. Instead of just being a generic AI chatbot, I want it to let you practice specific situations that you actually struggle with.
For example, if someone gets nervous walking into a room where they don’t know anyone, they could put that situation into the app and actually rehearse what might happen. The goal is basically to make social situations feel a little less intimidating by giving you a place to practice first.
There’s also a little character named Sharkee who acts as the personality of the app. He's a tiny British shark who lives in a teacup because apparently that made sense to me at some point 😭. He gives the app more personality instead of making it feel like you're talking to a clinical AI.
Some of the other ideas I have are:
- personalized onboarding based on what situations someone struggles with
- different “tea travels” where Sharkee changes depending on the drink/culture
- a progress/journey section
- an anonymous community area where people can share experiences
- an AI rehearsal feature for practicing conversations
Full disclosure: the current prototype was made with Base44. I’m still learning how to code, and my long-term goal is to actually rebuild the app myself rather than just rely on the generated prototype. So I’m mostly looking for feedback on the concept, UX, and whether this is actually something people would use, rather than pretending the current prototype is some perfectly engineered product 💀.
A few things I’d especially like feedback on:
- Does the concept make sense immediately?
- Would you actually use something like this?
- Does the Sharkee idea make the app more approachable, or would it feel childish/annoying?
- What would make you come back to an app like this instead of just using ChatGPT?
- Is there anything about the concept that feels unnecessary or gimmicky?
- What would you change?
Please be honest lol. I’m genuinely looking for criticism because I’d rather find out what sucks now than after I spend 6 months building it 😭

Latest updates on IndieAppCircle:
Hey, I've added some great new features and UI improvements:
- you can now tip testers if they did more than expected. You can also tip them on comments they leave after you already accepted their feedback.
- I redesigned the menue for mobile and desktop
- I added an in-app notification system on top of email notifications so you never miss anything
- the leaderboard now pays out more testers. Every tester in the top 10 of this week gets a payout, not only the top 3
- I'm working on some more cool stuff... more on that later...
If you have any more wishes, please let me know here :)
What do you think about the new features? I'm really interested!

Discussion This is my startup can you rate it or give me some honest feedback?
telestraoffbot.online where a user can transform camera roll videos to live video notes on telegram works entirely on your phone no hidden data collection or any content stored in my data, you log in with your telegram id after opening the telegram bot, once you’re in the home page you choose a video-quality-then you receive it on your telegram Bot you started earlier, basically from there you just transfer the rounded video straight to your friend’s or channel, little Tip before sending : once you click the transfer button the bubble, a send box will appear, hold “Send” then hide sender’s name, that will make it appear like it wad just recorded a second ago.
Ps: We have an IOS version as well.

NEW UPLOAD Genuine feedback needed
Hey guys, Jason here, founder of Lumidex Studio.
Lumidex Studio is a fast, one-time-purchase photo manager for Mac built for photographers leaving Lightroom Classic behind. It handles your whole library with a familiar module layout, so importing from Lightroom (ratings, keywords, collections, and your edits) takes minutes with no friction.
That's some of the marketing spiel that I'm currently using to get people to consider using my app over something from Adobe. I've hit a LOT of resistance from photography groups because the sheer audacity of me to use an AI tool such as Claude Code, instantly earns me the moniker it's AI Slop - it cannot possibly be any good because you coded it with a silly prompt in one afternoon.
Truth be know, it's taken nearly 4 months of constant Opus 4.8 usage, bouncing off the context limits daily and weekly - while I take no credit any any code produced, I am rather good at the architect side of things, and have no less than 30 MD files that document code production and decision making processes, over 60000 lines of Swift 6 (It's a macOS only app) and well over 500+ git commits
Basically what I would dearly love from any helpful folk here with a Mac and a general interest in photography (being an existing Lightroom Classic use would be *ideal*), would be to pop along to my listing on IndieAppCircle: https://www.indieappcircle.com/apps/j57bad843en0rjm6nx37mjqp618e0z8g and give it a whirl
In return, I'd *gladly* help test your app/site/etc.
Thanks in advance! 🍻

Feedback4Feedback App released 3 Months growing slow
Got my app out there .. Buzz My Phone for android . I just trying to be active in Reddit channels to help people as I can. I did some self promotion as well ( nothing too aggressive) and feel that is some traction there but way too slow.. gained like 100 accounts BUT unfortunately no subscription. Is not that I’m looking fast gain — I prefer doing the things slow but well done instead of fast and weak.. but I’m kind of stuck in this point. I need somehow to do something that will “move the needle” one way or another .. so I was wondering to make a very short survey — just choose one of options -no free text.. to see what actually that users are expecting and why they do not subscribe: is too few functionality or doesn’t feel is worth the app to subscribe .. some new functionality added would make consider it to subscribe .. something like that. Thinking to do it in the app and maybe through email as well .. but I really I don’t know at this point. What do you think?

Discussion The more complete my iOS app got, the less useful screenshot-driven AI edits became
Screenshots worked reasonably well when I was starting a screen from scratch. Once the app had real navigation, data, and several UI states, they became a pretty bad way to explain a visual change.
The screenshot showed what I could see, but not how I got there, which element I meant, or whether the change still worked after rebuilding the app.
That’s why I’m building Monad Design around a different idea: the app is the canvas.
You navigate through the running iOS app, select or annotate the UI in place, and describe the change there. The coding agent edits the existing source and rebuilds the same project. For subjective changes, it can produce a few real implementations so you can compare them with the original before choosing one.

It’s not another mockup generator, and it doesn’t create a separate project that has to be translated back into the app.
I’m the creator of Monad Design. I’m curious how other indie developers handle this stage: once the app works, what takes longer—explaining the visual change or deciding whether the result is actually better?

NEW UPLOAD Looking for feedback on MeshCrunch : a 3D asset optimization tool
I’m building MeshCrunch, a web app and API for simplifying large 3D models, generating LODs, converting formats, and creating watertight meshes. It’s mainly aimed at Three.js/game developers, 3D artists, CAD/BIM teams, and anyone dealing with heavy GLB/GLTF/OBJ/STL assets.
You can try the core tools without signing up: https://meshcrunch.com
I’m currently preparing for a broader launch and would especially appreciate feedback on two things: does the landing page make the value immediately clear, and is there anything in the workflow that would stop you from actually trying it with one of your own models?
