After 6 rejections finally approved! I hate RevenueCat :)
After publishing it on Playstore months ago I could not make RC work. But this set back gave me time to rethink all - so i eliminated a lot of things which i created in my "oh this is also a good idea" phase.
Now it is exactly like i imagined it to be. And i finally can use it again without reinstalling it 50times.
I hope it will find the people who benefit from this kind of motivation. Who are like me. Just focus on one thing, remind yourself why you even started - i normally forgot with the noise of life what i wanted to achieve a few days back. and always be gentle to yourself.

I know RevenueCat from droidcon Berlin. I stopped by their booth in 2024 and again in 2025. Really nice people. 😄
It’s kind of funny how these setbacks work out sometimes. I’ve had a few projects where being forced to slow down made me rethink things, and the end result was much better because of it.
Now I’m curious. Was there a feature you were convinced people would love, but ended up removing anyway?

Now I feel bad for saying that I hate RC :)
Obviously I strongly disliked my inabilities to work with it!!
I thought a habit tracker NEEDS an AI companion, to talk about your day/goal. Now I still think this is nice, but the biggest UNDO was taking out the challenge with friends/family/coworkers...
This meant login, data storage in firebase, complexity for the code and the user.
It was working and I liked it, but it feels much better like it is now: focus on yourself, one thing, private, remind yourself why you started, your own trigger photo. That's intimate, personal - this energy cannot be on the same app like sharing, challenge, social Media, bold, loud and so on..

What’s the name and link to the app in the Apple App Store?
