Once you release your app to the App Store… what’s next? How do you even get users to download and use? I’m feeling a huge disconnect here on how to properly get users to use meaningful apps. Thanks!
Curious to know what the most useful marketing tip is for everyone. Would be great to combine the knowledge of everyone. Obviously we all build something amazing, but how we get it to the right users is the most difficult task.
What has been the most useful marketing tip you have learned throughout app development. Starting from absolutely zero, what is the most important thing to focus on? Trying to gain a deep understanding on how to get my app out to the world. Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I’m a solo iOS developer working on ArriveTogether, an app for sharing ETAs when meeting up with friends, family, your partner, or a group.
The idea is simple: instead of constantly texting things like “where are you?” or “how far are you?”, someone creates a meetup session, shares it, and everyone can join to share their ETA to the destination.
I’m trying to keep it lightweight and privacy-focused. The goal is ETA/status sharing, not full live-location tracking.
One important beta note: since the app is currently only available through TestFlight, anyone you invite to a session will also need to install ArriveTogether through TestFlight first in order to join and test the full flow.
I’d really appreciate feedback on:
- Whether the app idea makes sense immediately
- Whether creating and joining a session feels simple
- Whether the invite flow makes sense during the beta
- Whether you would actually use this during a real meetup
- What feels confusing
- What would make you delete it
- What would make you use it again
Thanks to anyone who checks it out. I’m early in the beta and trying to make this genuinely useful.
Is there a genuinely good basic budgeting app? I’ve noticed that almost all budgeting apps are super complicated that it makes me not want to use it. Let alone those apps feel like they are designed for the people that are already budgeting properly, they just want that extra help to dial it down. I’m just trying to keep myself from going over my budget of x amount per week which includes me getting coffee, take out, gas, snacks, fun activities? I’m currently building an IOS app right now that is at the most basic form. Just pure manual entry with reminders and a progress tracker. BUT if there is already something out there that already does this and doesn’t overcomplicate such a simple ask, please let me know so I don’t waste my time developing this.
