Hey all — I am the developer of a new app that I wanted to share and get honest feedback from people who try a lot of iOS apps.

A — Answer (problem)
Most social apps push content based on what performs best, not what you actually care about.
I kept finding myself scrolling things I didn’t choose.

B — Better (what’s different)
I built an app called Dabbler that’s focused entirely on hobbies and interests.

The core idea:

  • You follow interests (like guitar, coding, fitness), not just people
  • Your feed is based on those interests — not an engagement algorithm
  • It’s more about sharing what you’re currently learning or experimenting with, not going viral
  • Set time aside to focus on your hobbies/passions

The goal is to make it feel more like exploring hobbies than scrolling content.

C — Cost

  • Free to download
  • Optional Pro subscription (adds extra features) $7.99/month or $75/year
  • iOS only (for now)

App Store link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dabbler-social/id6751242655

It’s still early (no reviews yet), so I’m mainly trying to figure out:

  • Does this actually feel different from existing apps?
  • Is “follow interests instead of people” useful in practice?
  • What feels missing or unnecessary?

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback — even if it’s critical.
