First app review straight into 1 star

First app review straight into 1 star

This is the first app review I got from my app that has a free version. I'm not french speaker, so I don't know what that comment means, all I understand is 1 star. Is this worth reporting, or if I need to reply, what to even reply to this?

For context, the app has VERY generous free tier, paid tier only $1.5 / $2.5 per month, it's local-only, and I don't track user app usage, because I don't feel the need to even do so.

I have <5 subscriptions already, uploaded it and got approved on Aug 30.

How old are our mods?

I was scrolling through the sub as usual to see what fellow Ugandans are up to as far as new posts are involved, and out of nowhere did I land on the right hand side of a Created on date for the sub.

Now out of curiosity, I wanna get a clue into how old the mods are and whether they've been mods since this time.

Better yet, what has been the history of the sub dating back to this created date. Has it held its original creator or it was requested from Reddit for Mod absence.

Happy to know more info. It's a Sunday curiosity.

For the record I was in P.3🤧 when this sub was created.

Netcup is generally great, but do you have issues with their 99.6% uptime on the vServer plans?

I found myself purchasing Netcup's VPS 500 G12 vServer and since it's a weekend and Germans have allergies to weekend work and anticipating response on a week day next week, I chose to read more offerings as I've previously been on root server that has 99.9% uptime.

Those on vServer plans, do you have any experience with the 99.6% or Netcup is reliable with this as well as the experience I had with the root servers?

FYI: I discovered the 99.6% after submitting, though not an issue to me, I have a small project I need to host on the VPS, so I went with the ipv6-only option as am a heavy user of Cloudflare so I have less worries and ipv4-only services I communicate with I easily use the cloudflare nat64 dns.

Do I need to worry about that uptime? how's the performance of vServer v Root servers. I know there's difference but would appreciate examples. Am not deep into Server management besides small security and project devops, so am not the person to believe will know even how to discover server raw performance besides the terrible plain one I had with Co***** (isn't it obvious?).

Always write tests!!! Always review Code Quality!!! Never trust AI code!!!

I can sit down for 4 hours with Claude Code and work on features and do worktree for each feature, we'll write tests and I'll audit the tests file by file.

I have some experience, I won't say I'm junior or very senior, I'm between. But I understand the languages I work with, and I know bad code and good code, so I basically lift my precious time to Claude t work with me, I know all the edge cases I need to be handled, so I ensure all the edge cases are tested and never broken.

I have a great skill in prompting AI. So while starting a project, every feature worked on establishes a pattern I mandate the AI to add to a docs/ folder that when Anthropic intentionally serve me Haiku even if model selected is Opus I won't get deviated code structure because pattern of how I code I always noted and it keeps growing as new edge cases are discovered in future features.

That said, I do feel bad for anyone who uses AI to code and has zero tests, linters and analysis tools are optional but my github workflow cannot miss all the 3 in green.

The current AIs are capable of replacing all junior devs if few seniors are handed these AI models and they then ship for the companies.

The only reason I think companies are still hiring in Africa is redundancy. What if the Senior quits the job, then where do they start from?

First ever android app released yesterday.

These streets have been polluted with WiFi Hotspot Billing System and yet nothing ever solves my problem of requiring PC + Mikhmon to manage Mikrotik Hotspot because not everyone wants billing minus the ability to just be able to manage vouchers without billing.

It might not have solved everyone's problems, but I'm very excited about the releaseof an app I'm actively using to manage two hotspot locations through Cloudflare Mesh + Wireguardon the routers and Phones on Zero Trust, so I have the feel of free remote access of all my routers.

Happy to hear from those this might be useful for. The playstore link is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kerustudios.hotspotfly

I just hit 0 MRD (Monthly Recurring Downloads) on my new app in 2 days!

I'm feeling super excited, no motivational speech.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kerustudios.hotspotfly&pcampaignid=web_share

I tried to mimic how multiple users post here. Forgive me for that, but I just wanted to let the community know of my first ever app to publish on playstore and got approved for production yesterday. It's a hotspot manager for Mikrotik routers. If you're familiar with WiFi Voucher sales then you should be familiar with Mikrotik.

In case anyone is here and this app has targetted them I'd be happy to hear your feedback. Testing is completely easy, as there's an option to load demo from the onboarding screen so you can experience the full functionality before you can add a real router.

Thank you

Google Play Console TIN &amp; D-U-N-S Update Situation

I applied for D-U-N-S number from the international site at start of the month and was given the number.

The application was for a Business Name. I have had issues with Google Payment Profile requiring TIN to be in names of the Business, yet in my country TIN for a business is tied to the individual's name. ex:

My Name: JOHN DOE
Business Name: EXAMPLE
TIN in my country bears the Name JOHN DOE and the business' registration number is tied to it. Google Payment profile keeps rejecting this TIN possibly because they might be trying to match it with the name of the business, so they possibly want the TIN to bear EXAMPLE.

I have tried contacting Google Payment support but they've not been helpful as they've instead made an AI attend to me and all the solutions that are being given tend to lead to a breach of ToS. Am not sure how to get to an actual human support as my attempt to open a new ticket let to the human support bouncing me back to the AI mail thread that has yielded fully into breach of ToS if am to go with the suggested option. My experience is with a previous post i made here: https://www.reddit.com/r/googleplayconsole/s/CSI000JHHs

I am out of options since I can't get to real Google Payments Support. My initial reasoning was that maybe they'd be able to override the failed verification since I attached the TIN document indicating all the details and the business linked to it (which is the Org name I registered as on Playstore Console).

As a result of no resolution from Play Payment support, am trying to get into extra cost to incorporate the business name into Company since that option calls for a TIN in my country that's in the name of the Company.

The reason the post title states D-U-N-S is because when I applied from main site it was taking long so I applied at dnbsame as well.

The main site later approved but then also the sister site reached out with the attached screenshot.

I have failed to find where I'll reach out to update the information since the main site lists only US territorries, and the sister site doesn't have an option to request update.

My questions are:

  1. Is it proper for me to reach out to the DNB user from the sister site on an update to my D-U-N-S or not? I do have the email redacted in the screenshot. Or do I have to fiel an update from the site?

  2. Can this issue be resolved with Google Payments team without requiring me to go through incorporation just to fulfill a failing TIN entry. The first attempt has already yielded an unsuccessful result.

I'd appreciate any help regarding this situation. Thanks

Google Payments Support has an employee that's AI that wants me to create a fresh developer account as solution.

I don't even know where else to get support for my issue. A new ticket I opened a real human responded and referred me to continue my issue resolution with 'collegue' he found assigned to my earlier ticket, which is the AI possing to be helping out.

The sound solution to resolve VAT TIN they suggest is I create a new developer account, I assume the new developer account I'll create if I enter the TIN again they'll say create a third developer account, until I think am exhausted and bank is drained.

Please is there any other way I can find a real human to review just the issue with the correct TIN that's being rejected even after sending the official TIN certificate?

A very great feature but judging Meta, they'll only allow BSP, no TP'a or TP'o

Knowing it's Meta, I have a few gambling cents to state that this feature will not be available to Tech Providers or even Tech Partners, maybe Business Solution Partners.

How easily can meta bump me on the 2K for my verified business portfolio? I only need the Calling API

My Business is Verified and I don't intend to do Messaging. I mostly have use-case for Flows and Calling API.

If you've been to this limit before, when or what easily triggers them to bump me to 2K? Am already having access to publishing Flows, I just need the 2K for Calling API.

Which ISPs in Uganda provide VoIP local number provisioning or none?

I want to experiment something, but I don't want to use foreign numbers, I need the number to be local so I feel cheaper option might be ISPs here that provide it.

Anyone with information on this I'd appreciate. Thank you

Is it possible to buy just the sim card?

I have an MTN landline number and its box, but the number was registered by someone else from office and it was given out with the sim card, and since then I've occasionally placing the phone on but rarely use it. SO it now reached a point that MTN has blocked the line for inactivity.

I am out of reach with the person who registered the line if I want to attempt to restore it. So I need to only get the 039 number for the fixed line service.

Do they sell this 039 separately or they require me to purchase a full new device?

Attached photo is the exact fixed line I have. I need a 039 in my names now, rather than trying to find solution for the old one blocked for inactivity.

Anyone with information regarding my inquiry I'd appreciate.

Does Cloudflare bill for every D1 remote database export as well?

Though I don't monitor the queries made in the db that uses much of the paid Workers Paid plan, I often do 2-3 full wrangler remote d1 export dump to my machine.

Does Cloudflare count this operation as a billable operation or the 3.87B reads in just 5 days are truly from the heaviest DB?

Does MTN Wakanet ToS restrict resell and if so what happens if you resell without permission?

I'm looking at information regarding MTN Wakanet resell most especially those familiar with Wifi Hotspot. I have a friend who reached out needing to setup one, and they have Wakanet available. I'd like to know others have freely resold without any issues. Pretend you didn't read the UCC publication a week or two ago because it might end up polluting the response to my question although closely related, that UCC part I'd appreciate is not considered while answering this. Thanks

I lost the battle of Workers free plan, Cloudflare won, here's to another journey ahead

I had to let out my anger, calm down, and accept to be converted. I'll miss the Workers free plan.

I didn't get converted just by presenting my CC, it was really unavoidable. D1 limits, Observability cpu limit Success:Error sample of 60K:30K, every single day error more than half of success, Search Engine crawlers paused crawling site due to repeat 503.

I'll surely miss the pretense of thinking Workers free plan was ever going to hold that much usage I was consuming.

Any status updates on recent Workers error 1102?

Recently there have been a couple of complaints from users regarding error 1102, I just would like to ask if the Cloudflare team (if here) have had a chance to look into this?

Projects that were well within the 10ms CPU limit on free plan suddenly started reaching CPU limit with no updates made to the projects and the only way out was either Workers Paid or disabling SSR.

As I understood from complainants, some seem to have been experiencing it since last month, while I experienced it this month, with a new 503 error that deserves it's own thread, which started happening when i switched from Cache API to the new Workers Cache.
