I'm a solo dev who built a fitness app — getting real users feels harder than building the app itself. Any advice?
I spent the past year building a workout tracking app called Liftora. The development side was the part I knew how to handle. But now that the app is live on the Play Store, I'm realizing that getting people to actually try it is a completely different challenge.
I don't have a marketing budget or a team. It's just me — building, designing, and now trying to figure out how to reach people who might actually find it useful.
A bit about what the app does:
- Guided workout flow — you move through your sets in real time rather than logging everything after the fact
- Body metrics tracking — weight and measurements in one place so you can follow how your body changes over time
- Progress charts — simple visuals to help you see if your lifts are actually going up and how your volume shifts over time
Core features are free, no paywalls on the basics.
I'm not here to hard-sell anyone. I'm genuinely trying to learn:
- For those who've promoted an app or a project — what actually worked for you early on?
- As a user, what would make you give an unknown app a chance over something established?
- Is there anything about the way I'm describing it that sounds generic or doesn't stand out?
If anyone's curious, I can drop the Play Store link. But mostly I'm looking for advice from people who've been through this.

I built Liftora to make workout tracking simpler and more motivating
I’ve been working on a fitness tracking app called Liftora.
The main idea came from a problem I kept running into with a lot of workout apps: they can log exercises, but they often feel either too cluttered, too generic, or not motivating enough to keep using consistently.
I wanted something that helps people through their fitness journey in a more practical way:
- track workouts step by step
- monitor body measurements in one place
- see progress with simple, useful charts
- stay more aware of training flow instead of just logging numbers
So I started building Liftora with a focus on clarity, structure, and motivation.
Right now, the app is centered around three things:
workout tracking, body metrics, and progress visualization.
The goal is not just to record data, but to make that data easier to understand and more helpful over time.
I’m still improving the product and I’d really like honest feedback from people who actually track their training.
A few things I’d love to hear:
- Does the product feel useful at first glance?
- Which feature would make you try an app like this?
- What feels missing from your current fitness tracker?
If you want, I can also share the Play Store link in the comments.
