Can you help me improve my UX / give tips on what works and what doesn’t?
My app has about 250 users so far. Recently I introduced a guest mechanic where people can try the app out without signing up. For that I can see half of installs don’t try to swipe the cards and fail to create an account. I’m trying to see if I can cut that down substantially but I’m not sure what part of the visuals might be stopping them from moving forward.
Hey all,
Recently I have been seeing a lot of installs on my (Friends app) around the LA area. I'm hoping to grow my user base so that my users have more people they can meet!
If you are also interested in finding friends there are like 30 people in the LA area which is not much but everyday more people are joining!
It focuses around finding friends via activities like pickleball, gym, running, etc
If you're still interested check out these links. Also if you have any ideas for how we can make the app better to help finding friends let me know!
Here’s the iOS version https://apps.apple.com/us/app/actively-find-gym-buddies/id6752837053
And android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gymbuds&pcampaignid=web_share
Nothing to add here just an example of my metrics the last 90 days. I recently removed the lock of needing to go through account creation before using the app. I am going to see if this helps with user retention.
In the next 30 days I am hoping to see total proceeds increase substantially and same for account completions.
Anyone else having slow app submission reviews?
Normally when I have submitted my app updates its been reviewed within 2 days but my current one is taking a while. So far its been a full week (7 days).
I know thats still within the normal range but its usually only taken this long my first time I submitted it.
The numbers on the screenshot aren't exactly right but essentially paint a picture of user difficulty in the areas of account creation (google, apple, manual sign in).
I am wondering what everyones thoughts were on these things. Have you discovered that a specific sign in method works best?
Do you keep your landing page basic so that users don't get confused by the page making them not sure if the app does what they downloaded it for?
Thinking of making an app that works like a mock investigation. Imagine like you are in one of those ghost hunter shows but your partner / crew is an AI that is analyzing your environment in some story like way.
For example you start an investigation in your room. The AI speaks to you and asks what room you are in and if there are any windows. You confirm and it asks you to scan the windows with your phone. It will trigger a snapchat style heatmap type camera. The app manipulates the view so that it looks like there is something there. It then mentions it captured some audio its enhacing in some way and it plays this spooky audio for you. It then asks if it can take a picture of the area it heard the audio from and then it will overlay some type of entity for example.
This is one example of how it could go. Along the way it might give you some occult into like "windows are a doorway for paranormal activity..."
Would any of you find these mock investigations fun if it gave you something new each time and made sure to keep people safe eg. not make you go do something crazy?
A friend of mine and I are thinking about starting a Mobile Dog Treadmill Service. If you haven't seen the viral videos of these esentially the dog goes on a harness and they run on the treadmil until they tire themselves out. They seem to really like it and would help those of you with high energy dogs that don't get too many chances to go out and help them release that energy.
Still at the early stages but plan on releasing a site soon for early sign ups to show interest (basic show of interest form).
There are plenty of legal things to go through first before we get started.
Esentially we would be driving to your home at some scheduled date / time for some service charge of 30 to 50 for 60 mins with potentially some early customer deals. Later on also offering other pet services like day care and at home visits when you are away for vacation and can't nessesarily take the pup with you. It would be nice if they had someone to interact with once a day for some TBD fee.
Hello,
I have an app I am working on and am looking to commision someone to comb through reddit looking for certain styles of posts to comment on them to recommend my app where applicable. I have already started doing this and it has brough me positive results and am now looking to expand.
We would start on a trial basis and if your work is netting results then we can negotiate further.
Min wage at $15 per hour.
Will need to provide proof of work which means url links to comments documented in a google doc.
Proof of good work will be ratio of upvotes / installs / positive replies to total comments.
If work is not good then the commision work will end.
I will reserve the right to cancel work early if I see that comments are being placed randomly without context to the post.
Please don't just spam ASO sites here.
I have been having trouble knowing where to start. I have an app that people do really like and install when the demographic is hit correctly.
So far I have 250 unique installs and closer to 150 full profile sign ups and I have a longer sign up so that means something. I also have 6 active subscriptions and have gotten emails about features.
I know users want to use the app but I can't seem to find the right keywords to use. I feel like App store search is what works best for me right now given I can target on age and location and have some experience with but I have issue finding the correct keywords and I dont want to spend 500 dollars trying to guess with a blast of keywords and seeing what sticks.
Is there a good way to know what keywords to use that will not waste 100+ dollars to find? I am willing to spend on it I just want to know by the time I spent that money that I will have keywords I can hit consistantly.

Some additional notes on other things I am trying:
I have attached some user data from where they find me and where they are. I will note I haven't run a search ad in two weeks but I still mainly get people from there which is why I feel like I should focus there.
Need someone to run ads for me on Facebook. I have an app I recently created. I'd do the promotion myself but Facebook keeps banning my accounts due to an issue with a marketplace sale I had long ago. So far getting some okish turn out (3ish installs per day) with no ads.
I don't have a huge budget and would want to try this as quick demo to see how many installs we can generate and compare that to expenses.
I’m a solo dev building Actively, an app for finding workout friends nearby.
I’m looking for honest feedback from other builders or people who would actually use this. If anyone is willing to try it and roast the app/store page, I’d really appreciate it.
Happy to give honest feedback on your app, landing page, or App Store page too. And if you actually like Actively after trying it, an honest App Store review helps a ton, but feedback is the main thing I’m looking for.
The app is called Actively: Find Gym Buddies
Feel free to DM me your app link as well!
Finally got my first 100 first time downloads. As you can see things aren't going super well but still glad I have gotten to this moment.
My app depends on users believing there are people there to interact with so the lack of reviews is hurting me I think.
Wanted to see if I might be able to hear from those who have done conversions for profit or at least attempted it. Did you see much profit in doing so? I’m new to electric bikes and absolutely see the potential but I think not everyone knows they have the ability to convert their bikes if they’d like to enjoy the same glorious features!
My thoughts would be to start small and see how it goes but wanted to see if any others have had similar ideas / luck doing these conversions.
A friend and I are web developers that are local to the Tricities.
There is this person on Facebook that leaves money in locations around the Tricities and makes a post of where he left it for people to find.
The people who find it then comment on the post to confirm that they found it.
We were thinking of something similar but increasing the potential earnings for a small entry fee. Imagine something like one entry for $5 to potentially get $500 - $1000.
Upon registration you’d have some challenges to complete and the first to complete the challenges gets the prize.
You’d be able to track progress others have and at some point get hits as the challenge progresses (through our website)
These challenges would be specific to the tricities like landmarks, culture, and potentially also general riddles and such.
Concerning making and receiving payment that would happen automatically once all challenges are completed which all would complete through some code needed for each. Stripe would process the payment to whatever was used for the entry.
To gain trust we would start with free entry campaigns where the prize is like 50 to 100 dollars and increase the pot / entry from there.
If this kind of thing sounds fun give this an upvote or a comment so we can see if people would be interested in this potentially fun series of events.
