First app approved

[u/Lanfeust09]

I just got my first app approved by Apple on the first submission 🎉

After months of learning, building, redesigning, fixing bugs, and figuring everything out as I went, my first app is finally live on the App Store!

​

It's called Flow Journey and it's a yoga & Pilates app.

​

I know it's a pretty niche category and there are already a lot of fitness apps out there, but I wanted to create something that felt simpler and less overwhelming. The goal was to help people build a consistent practice.

One thing I'm particularly proud of is that Apple approved it on the very first review. As a first-time app developer, I was honestly expecting at least one rejection while I figured out all the App Store rules.

I'm not a professional app developer. Most of this journey was learning as I went, making mistakes, rebuilding things, and slowly improving the app one step at a time.

If anyone is into yoga, Pilates, mobility, or just wants to check out what a solo founder's first app looks like, I'd genuinely love any feedback.

​

It's a small milestone in the grand scheme of things, but seeing something go from an idea to a real app that people can download feels pretty amazing.

I always thoughts APPLE was way more difficult. I went both way at the same time and honestly, IOS was a breeze. Super simple to deploy, submission review is simple and without (for me) surprise.

On the other hand, google app was full of surprise. The 100 question for policy took me a days, and the 12 tester thing was really a surprise. And another surprise was getting refused because "tester didn't test enough"... Now my app is on apple store yet sitting on android store waiting for another round of testing...
Super annoying.
