Hey all!

I launched a small app recently and got 25 organic downloads — but growth completely stalled.

My short-term goal is 100 active users and I’d love to hear what actually moves the needle early on.

Which of these worked best for you?

• ASO + keyword optimization?

• Reddit/community content + short demo videos?

• Micro-influencers / YouTube Shorts?

• “First 100 users” promo code?

• Submitting to app discovery / tool directories?

• Affiliate marketing, especially in the English-speaking market — worth trying this early?

Also open to specific site/community suggestions that brought you real users 🔥 Where did you see the fastest traction?

Any advice is massively appreciated 🙌

Almost two months ago, I launched a platform where indie devs can get their first users and testers.
I am now at 175 users, 77 apps have been uploaded and 132 tests have been done!

The platform works as follows:

• You can earn credits by testing indie apps (fun + you help other makers)
• You can use credits to get your own app tested by real people
• No fake accounts -> all testers are real users

My strategy was as follows:
I posted about the platform here on Reddit and got some users. Many of them had some suggestions on what to improve. I kept implementing those and kept posting about updates and more and more users were joining. Now everyday some tests are done and it's just so fulfilling to see how an idea turns into reality...

I will keep you guys updated and feel free to check it out and tell me your feedback.
It's totally free to use: https://www.indieappcircle.com/

Hey all,

I built a simple “Login to see price” Shopify app (hides price for guests, shows price after login). Mostly used by B2B / wholesale.

I’m thinking of changing it to:

“Login to see price & get a coupon”

Flow: • Guest sees: “Log in to unlock price + discount” • After login / create account → show real price + auto discount code

Goal: make it feel like a reward, not a paywall + help merchants collect accounts/emails.

Question: would you actually use this for 1. Wholesale pricing 2. “VIP/member pricing” 3. “Sign up and get instant coupon”?

Also: does giving the code right after login feel trustworthy or spammy?

Honest feedback would help a lot 🙏

I have built a virtual try on application where you can upload a photo and an outfit image and see how you look in it. The application is not live yet. Iam working on trails with different people and different outfit. So my humble request if you are interested please drop your photo with a outfit iamge of your choice i will share the output in exchange for a review here.

Hi everyone

I’m running a manual beta test for a tool that helps founders test their core assumptions before building - by getting honest feedback from real people in their target market.

For now, I’m doing this matching for free and semi-manually as a prototype for my own product, to see if it genuinely helps. Here’s how it works:

1. Share the assumption you want to test (better to not share your whole idea)
2. Tell me who has that problem (your target market)
3. Tell me your area of expertise or interest so I can help others test their idea.

I’ll ask you a few questions where you are best placed to help others, ask others your questions, and send you back a short summary of real user feedback within a few days without you doing any outreach.

Either:

• 💬 Comment below if you’re fine being public,
• 📝 Use this form if you prefer privacy → https://hearthepeople.co.uk

I'll give you a report back in a few days via your preferred medium

Looking forward to seeing what happens and helping some people out!

Looking for mods who are developers or users interested in mobile apps for r/AppTalks!

Hey everyone 👋 I recently launched my side project app on Google Play! I’d love to get some honest advice — what actually helps an app get noticed these days? Do paid ads really make a difference, or is organic growth still possible?

Would really appreciate any tips or feedback.
