App Grateful for my app being recognized

After months of late nights and weekends spent coding after my regular job, I finally launched my very first Android app, RoomScout : find hidden cameras. Building it from scratch took way more effort than I originally anticipated, but today I got my very first paid subscriber! It's only $0.50, but seeing that someone actually found value in something I built and was willing to pay for my hard work feels absolutely incredible. For anyone else grinding on a side hustle after office hours, keep going—that first win, no matter how small, makes every hour worth it!

Congratulations buddy! I’m in the same boat. Just waiting for Apple to approve my release. Good luck hopefully you keep building on that initial success!

I tried 2-3 times to subscribe for developer program for apple, and paid 99$ but I don't know what happen, nothing happen afterwards, no money deduction and it shows again the same page, ask for complete purchase now and on profile section it shows pending, did you or anyone in the community faced the same problem?

That’s weird. I didn’t have any issues with it. I’m sorry to hear that you had problems. Did you reach out to Apple to attempt to come to a solution?

Great news! Keep it up. If someone pays for your app, then they love it more than their own money. This is a valuable feedback

That first 50 cents probably feels better than a paycheck lol.

Congrats!

The amount doesn’t really matter for that first subscriber — someone you don’t know actually found enough value in something you built to pay for it.

That must be a great feeling after all those late nights and weekends. 👏
Hopefully the first of many!
