I’m 32 and tracked my fiber for a week mostly out of curiosity.

I was getting like 12g a day.

The recommendation is 25–35g, which honestly explained a lot. I always had mid-afternoon crashes, bloating, and just random stomach stuff I never really thought about.

The tracking apps I tried didn’t really help either. MyFitnessPal tracks fiber, but it’s buried behind calories and macros. Cronometer felt way too detailed for what I wanted.

I basically just wanted an app that told me one thing:

Did I hit my fiber today or not?

So I built one.

It has a daily ring for your fiber goal, barcode scanner, 200+ USDA foods, and a plant diversity score. That last part was kind of surprising to me. A lot of gut health research points to variety per week, not just total grams.

A few honest surprises after using it for ~6 months:

• Getting to 30g isn’t that hard once you realize where fiber actually comes from. Beans, oats, raspberries, chia, avocado, etc.
• Plant diversity was harder for me than the actual fiber goal.
• A lot of packaged “high fiber” foods are not as useful as they make themselves sound.

Free, iOS only, on device, no account.

Would genuinely love feedback on the food database or anything that feels off.

So I started building this app earlier this year and shipped v1 a couple weeks back had to wait on Apple review longer than expected .

Then tried marketing it , mostly on Reddit and one small community WhatsApp group . Skipped instagram and youtube because the niche is tiny and ads would just burn cash on the wrong audience . Saw barely anything , 1-2 trials started ,both cancelled within a day . The audience was off .

So I stopped pushing it . But out of nowhere , a user who cancelled the trial earlier came back and subscribed . It feels like I have actually made something worth paying for .

Now I am confused on how to get more . I have started doing App store optimisation but what else can I do to actually boost downloads and revenue ??

The app is a community focus tool and has a hard paywall after onboarding .

 Hey, solo dev here.
I made a very simple landing page for my app NYC Intel and I’m not sure if it works or feels too bare.

Flow is basically:
user types an address
gets a quick “block score” + a few stats
then prompt to download the app
That’s it.
I’m intentionally keeping it minimal, but now I’m wondering:
is it clear enough?
does it feel useful or just gimmicky?
would you actually type an address here?
Would really appreciate blunt feedback 🙏

This started as a random idea I kept coming back to. I wanted something simple where you can save small things you might want to try someday. Foods, hobbies, places, or just random ideas that usually end up buried in Notes and forgotten.

I built it using Expo and React Native and tried to keep it as lightweight as possible. The goal was to avoid making it feel like a to do list. There is no pressure and no productivity angle, just a space to collect ideas.

I also recently added widgets, which has been one of my favorite additions. It makes the app feel more present without relying on notifications, which fits the low pressure vibe much better.

The biggest thing I have learned is that simple is actually really hard. Every extra tap or bit of friction becomes obvious very quickly. Onboarding also matters much more than I expected, even for a small app like this.

It is still early, but seeing around 600 people using something I built is a great feeling. It has made about 50$ so far, which is not huge, but it feels like real validation that the idea resonates with at least some people.

Any feedback is welcome, whether positive or critical.

Have a nice day

I used to have App Store conversion rates between 2% and 3.5% for my app.

Recently, I made one extremely simple change that pushed my CR to 5–7% almost immediately after the new screenshots went live.

The interesting part is that I had already tried adding text to screenshots before — but I used longer marketing-style sentences.

Then I started noticing that many successful apps shared on this subreddit used extremely large and very short text instead. So I decided to test it myself.

I redesigned my screenshots around a single idea:

Explain every feature in 1–2 huge words.

That was literally the only ASO-related change I made.

No keyword updates.

No metadata changes.

No external marketing.

No paid traffic.

Just screenshots with massive text that instantly communicates what the app does before the user even thinks.

The results honestly surprised me.

From the very next day the screenshots were approved, my CR jumped from ~2–3.5% to ~5–7%.

What’s even crazier is what a “small” 2–3% CR increase actually means in real numbers:

+30–50 additional downloads per day

~900–1500 extra users per month

…from a change that took maybe 5 minutes.

I also started noticing this behavior in myself while browsing the App Store:

The only screenshots that consistently make me stop scrolling are the ones with huge, instantly readable text.

My next step is localizing the screenshots, although that’ll be harder because many languages can’t explain features in only 2 words like English can.

Still, I’d honestly expect localized screenshots to push conversion even further — maybe into the 7–9% range.

Small changes can sometimes create surprisingly large results.

Your brain is not a debt tracker.

If you’re always covering food, tickets, rides, or random shared costs, it’s way too easy to forget who paid and who hasn’t.

Owemint keeps it simple:

who owes you who you owe how much is left what it was for what’s already settled

Just a personal place for the money stuff between you and other people.

If you have any feedback or bug reports, you may send them through the support button inside the app settings.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment.

I launched a new football live scores app and got these early App Store numbers:

• 982 impressions
• 84 product page views
• 60 first-time downloads
• 9.47% conversion rate

No serious paid marketing yet.

Is this a good early signal for a new app? What would you improve first: ASO, screenshots, keywords, retention, or features?

Hi everyone, I'm the solo developer of WeightSync Scales, an iOS app that automatically syncs your smart scale weight to Strava -- so your W/kg is always up to date without any manual entry.

What it does:

• Smart Scale Integration: Connect your Withings or Fitbit scale directly to the app. Every time you step on the scale, WeightSync Scales reads the measurement from your scale's cloud and pushes it to your Strava athlete profile automatically. No tapping. No typing.
• Automatic Sync: Weights are pushed to Strava without any manual action on your part. The app works even when closed, with background sync running silently in the background.
• Retry Queue: If a sync fails (no internet, API hiccup), the measurement is queued and retried automatically. Nothing gets lost.
• Smart Reminders: Gentle nudges on days you haven't stepped on the scale -- useful for athletes trying to build a consistent tracking habit.
• Units: kg, lbs, and st -- your choice, we handle the conversion.
• Languages: English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), and more.

This is a solo project, and I'm still actively building it. Garmin scale support is coming soon.

Pricing:

Free to download. Premium unlocks unlimited syncs, the automatic retry queue, smart scale integration, and the Watch app.

• Annual - $4.99/year
• Lifetime - $9.99 -> $4.99
• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/weightsync-scales/id6760545926

If you're a cyclist, triathlete, or any athlete who tracks W/kg on Strava and owns a Withings or Fitbit scale, this app was made for you. Would love any feedback - and if you give it a try, a review on the App Store goes a long way for a solo dev.

Thanks for reading!

Hi, visited Japan last year and the garbage system broke me. Every ward has different rules, different days, different bag colors — and zero tolerance if you get it wrong. I came back one morning to find my trash sitting there untouched 😅

So I built GomiSense (free to try):

• Point your camera at anything, AI tells you which bin it goes in — not just the category, but the actual rules for your specific ward
• Pulls your ward's real collection schedule and builds a personal calendar
• Morning notification before pickup so you don't miss the window
• 300+ recycling drop-off spots across Japan with directions
• Works in English, Turkish, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese

No Japanese required, no cross-referencing three different ward websites.

Happy to add features if anything's missing — and feedback is genuinely appreciated 🙏

PenDate Notes is now live on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.

I built it around one problem: notes are useful when you write them, but they often disappear by the day you actually need them.

PenDate takes a calendar-first approach. Pick a date, then keep the relevant notes, checklists, reminders, handwriting/canvas notes, PDFs, and planning context around that day.

It is meant for people who plan around dates: appointments, study days, errands, shopping lists, client follow-ups, weekly planning, and reminders that need more context than a short notification.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/pendate-notes/id6765719360

Android is also live on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pendate.notes

I would appreciate feedback from iPhone/iPad users: does calendar-first note-taking solve a real problem for you, or do you prefer keeping notes and calendar separate?

Hey everyone,

I have been building HealthVitals Pro for the past year, and today I want to share it with this community at a price that should be a no-brainer.

The idea is simple. If you wear an Apple Watch, you are generating thousands of data points every single day. Heart rate samples, sleep stages, HRV readings, SpO2, steps, calories, nutrition logs. Apple Health captures all of it. The problem is that surfacing any of it in a meaningful way requires jumping between multiple apps, none of which actually talk to each other.

HealthVitals Pro is the layer that sits on top of all of that data and makes it readable, actionable, and beautiful. No accounts. No cloud. Everything runs on your device.

What it does:

• Readiness Score built from your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate
• Vital Intelligence alerts that detect anomalies and patterns before you notice them
• Deep trend charts across 30, 90, and 365 days for sleep, heart, activity, nutrition, and body composition
• Micronutrient tracking beyond just calories
• Monthly health PDF you can actually share with your doctor
• Full history access going back as far as your Apple Health data exists

It is designed to be lighter, faster, and more direct than anything else in the category. No bloat. No subscriptions trying to upsell you every week. Just your data, clearly presented.

Today, I am dropping the price to $5.99 for this community.

Download the app here https://apps.apple.com/app/healthvitals-pro/id6759471194 and comment "HealthLife" and I will come back to you.

If you try it, I would genuinely love your feedback. This is an indie project and every piece of input shapes the next update.

Thanks for building a community worth posting in.

I made an app that lets you generate and share responses from top AI models directly in iMessage. It's called Bantam AI.

3 canceled trials before this, thought it was over for me because I switched to hard paywall.

i built this experimental type of screen time app
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/second-thought-less-scrolling/id6749641307

I got 400ish downloads but no one was paying for premium version, so I decided to make it hard paywall. I have a weekly and yearly plan, with a 3 day free trial on the yearly plan. Most people just start the free trial and cancel right away. Pleasantly surprised to see this!!
