Fake Testimonials and customer base for new website

I am recently checking some of the web application and apps which they are sharing on the reddit for testing purpose but in their websites mentioned about testimonials from different customers/500+ customer satisfied already/ big brands who already using product like that posting.

Is it fair to showcase the fake Testimonials or customer acquisition during the initial launch to lure the customer? Or that's how the app can be attracted?

Is any issue will raise of we publish website like that?

Looking ideas for getting users

Hi everyone,

I have developed an app in the past three months and it got approved for production rollout.

However now I'm looking for marketing and reach the correct audience to use the purpose which i created. M solo developer/founder and very good on understanding the user feedback/suggestions to make it fix. But tbh very weak on marketing/sales.

Seeking feedback from other developers who have taken and reached the customer.

Is it fine to keep checking the post/comment in reddit/quora/facebook/instagram etc or get support from the marketing vendors.

Built a parental control app for Android — Paxio. Core features are free.

Sharing directly, no pitch — I built a parental control app for Android called Paxio.

What it does: daily screen time limits, app blocking, content filtering by category, bedtime/schedule locks, a parent PIN so settings can't be changed without it, and uninstall protection so the app can't just be removed by the kid.

On privacy: no location tracking, no reading messages, photos, or keystrokes, no full browsing history stored (only whether a specific site was blocked, and which category), no ad trackers bundled into the app. Content filtering runs on-device.

Works either way — separate phones for you and your kid, or one shared phone with a PIN-protected switch between parent and child view.

Screen time limits, app blocking, content filtering, and PIN protection are free — permanently, not a trial.

First parents who try it get Paxio Pro free for 3 months.

DM me if you want more info

[Android] Paxio — parental control app (screen time, app blocking, on-device content filtering) — looking for testers before wider release

Maker here, full disclosure.

Paxio is a parental control app for Android — daily screen time limits, real-time app blocking, on-device DNS content filtering (not routed through a third-party server), and bedtime scheduling. Free tier covers all four controls for one child, no paywall on the core features.

What I'm looking for: people willing to actually install it on a real device and try to break it — permission flow, device-role setup (same phone shared with a kid vs. a separate dedicated device), the actual enforcement behavior. Bug reports and "this is confusing" feedback are what I actually need, not praise.

A bit on how it works under the hood, if that's useful context for testing: content filtering is VPN-based DNS filtering (so it can flag/block categories without routing traffic through an external server), app blocking uses Accessibility Service to catch a blocked app in real time, and there's a PIN-gated settings layer so a kid can't just flip things back off.

As a thank-you, early testers during this period get 3 months of the full paid feature set free once that tier ships — not live yet, but it's a real commitment, not a vague "maybe someday."

Happy to answer anything about the implementation or take feature requests — this is early enough that real input still shapes what gets built next. Bug reports/feedback also welcome directly at support@paxio.in if you'd rather not post it here.

[T4T] Need Closed Testers for my Parental control App "PaxIO" - Will test back immediately! 🚀

🕊️ Looking for beta testers for Paxio — a parental control app (Android)

Hi all! I've built Paxio, a free parental control app for Android —

screen time limits, app blocking, content filtering, and bedtime

schedules for parents managing their kids' phones.

I'm in the final stretch before public launch on Google Play, and I

need 12 testers to join a closed test for 14 days (Google's requirement

before going live). Two quick steps to join:

  1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/u/4/g/paxio-testing

  2. Opt in to the test here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paxio

You're welcome to just keep it installed for the 2 weeks if that's all

you have time for — that alone helps. But if you can actually try it

out (set up a test child profile, poke around the features) and share

feedback — bugs, confusing bits, feature ideas — that's even more

valuable and genuinely appreciated. Either way, thank you! 🙏
