Ilang budgeting apps na natry ko… pero walang nag-stick. So I built my own

Hindi naman sa hindi sila useful, or tamad lang talaga ako haha.

Anyways, so I tried a different approach, I built a gamified budgeting app where:

• Saving money = XP

• Paying debt = parang boss fight

• Staying consistent = level up

• Quest & Progression system = Building a good financial habit

Basically parang RPG yung feeling instead of chore 😅

It still tracks everything from budgeting, expenses, subscriptions, credit cards, recurring payments, accounts and etc, pero ang goal is to have the same dopamine hit we get from games para mas sticky gamitin.

Curious lang:

👉 Sa mga gumagamit ng budgeting apps, ano yung dahilan bakit hindi kayo nagtatagal?

👉 Anong feature yung tingin niyo makakatulong para maging consistent?

Open to feedback (still working on branding) 🙌

How long does SEO actually take for a brand new app?

Context:

I just launched a mobile app (gamified finance niche) with a brand new domain (huntervault.app).

So far:

- Published a few SEO blog posts

- Targeted long-tail keywords

- No backlinks yet

Right now I’m seeing basically:

- 0–10 impressions/day

- Almost no clicks

My questions:

  1. Realistically, how long before I see meaningful traffic? (weeks vs months)

  2. What should I focus on early for an app?

    - Content?

    - Backlinks?

    - Programmatic pages?

    - App Store SEO instead?

Would appreciate honest answers from people who’ve done this 🙏

How did you grow your app as a solo developer?

I already shipped multiple apps in ios and android, I just upload them and then forget. I have an app before that reach 100k downloads by just forgetting them in play store (This is legit, I was not able to maintain that app due to different priorities at that time) but this time I shipped a new app and would like to see it grow, I already got my first paying user and planning to reinvest all the revenue I get from this app.

I am a solo builder, so I literally do everything, I know I can just search this question with AI but I would love to hear from actual people who did it.

Currently:

- My app logo looks ok (generic)

- Screenshots Looks ok (generic)

- SOC (Low traffic)

- I tried to ads on facebook (I got very low conversion)

- Got 1,519 active users since I launched the app three weeks ago (looks inaccurate numbers but this is what is showing in google analytics)

What im trying right now:

- Create Pinterest account, x, tiktok

- trying to create a viral vid on tiktok

- Create a stronger brand (Enhance my app logo and screenshots)

Budget:

I think Im gonna step back to spending more ads and focus on what is lacking.

If you’re wondering what’s my app is it’s a gamified personal finance tracker inspired by an Solo Leveling (an anime). My app name is Hunter Vault.

Website: https://huntervault.app

IOS: https://apps.apple.com/ph/app/hunter-vault-rpg-budgeting/id6761086056

Price: 15.99 USD

I would love to hear what tools do you use? Do you have a framework that you can share in growing your app as a solo builder?

And feel free to roast my app.

Thank you!
