Need song recommendations with One More Night kinda Saxophone

Yes, getting amazing songs with those type of Sax being played(s/o to Don Myrick) in the ending/middle have been kinda difficult. I'd appreciate as many as possible, thanks.

The saxophone in that ending is/was/has always been/will forever be sensational. It's the best I've ever heard in a song.

Onboarding Flow for new user/sign-in for existing user

Hello everyone,

I'm working on an application that generates a random username to a new user during onboarding, and that persists until the user creates an account, which is then binded to the account.

I've realised that this would create a bottleneck for an already existing user that reinstalls the app/uses on another device as the user would have to go through the entire onboarding flow before they can sign-into their account.

I'd love to hear your best way of solving this where an existing user just opens the app and can skip the onboarding entirely, and a new user won't be able to circumvent the onboarding by trying to go through the sign-in page.

I built a walking app that generates a real-world route calibrated exactly to your remaining step count. No guessing, no aimless wandering. [TestFlight beta: Please tear it apart]

Hello Everyone, I built something I've been wanting to exist for a while and I'm finally at the stage where I need real people to give feedback on it before pushing to the app store.

The core mechanic: StrideHeist reads your current step count via Apple Health, calculates your remaining deficit, and generates a dynamic walking route that makes sure you close it exactly... and ending back at your origin point when you're done. No manually planning a route, no guessing if you've walked enough, no arriving home 3,000 steps short.

Built with React Native, Mapbox for routing, and Apple Health integration for real-time step data.

What I need from you specifically:

  • Does the first-time experience make sense without explanation?
  • Where does the UX break or confuse you?
  • Any performance issues, edge cases, or things that feel unpolished?

This is TestFlight only right now and not on the App Store yet. I want the hard feedback before it goes public. I'll be providing my early testers with a good deal of premium benefits once I'm live and add the premium features.

Drop a comment or DM me and I'll send the TestFlight link directly.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for iOS beta testers for StrideHeist, which is a walking app with a spy thriller twist.

Core concept: you tell it your step goal, it reads your current count, and it generates a real-world walking route designed to close the gap exactly — ending back at your starting point when you're done. Tactical HUD, rank progression, extraction language throughout. No cheerleading, no passive ring animations.

Testing focus: First-time user experience. Does the app make sense without explanation? Where does confusion happen?

Platform: iOS Distribution: TestFlight Cost: Free

DM me for the link. Feedback via DM is fine.

App name: StrideHeist Platform:

iOS Stage: Beta via TestFlight

Price: Free

What it does: Picture this: You're short on steps at the end of the day. Instead of pacing aimlessly, StrideHeist generates a real-world walking route calibrated exactly to your remaining step count, and brings you back home when the mission is complete. Tactical HUD interface, operative rank system, extraction language used too.

What I'm testing for: Navigation clarity. Is the app self-explanatory enough for a first-time user to deploy a mission without guidance? That's the core question.

DM me for the TestFlight link. Feedback via DM or comments is fine — whatever's easier for you.

Thanks everyone

Hello everyone, I've been building a fitness app with a completely different angle and I'm looking for iOS testers to help me fine tune the experience before a full launch.

The concept: most people hit 8 or 9PM with a step gap and zero motivation to go out. StrideHeist fixes that by generating a real walking mission calibrated to your exact remaining steps — live HUD, dynamic routing, operative rank system. Think spy thriller meets step tracker.

What I need from testers:

  • Run at least one mission
  • Note anything that feels confusing, unclear or can be improved
  • DM me directly with feedback

No forms, no surveys. Just honest reactions.

iOS only for now. DM me if you're interested and I'll send the TestFlight link directly.

There's a specific kind of paralysis that hits me late in the evening. I've had a long day, I'm drained, and I know I should do something active but my brain just refuses to cooperate. It's not even about being physically tired. It's purely mental.

The frustrating part is the task itself is never as hard as the resistance to starting it. 20 minutes of walking sounds like nothing in the morning but feels impossible at 9PM.

I've tried setting reminders, planning routes in advance, laying out my shoes by the door. The resistance still wins most nights.

For those who've cracked this, what actually worked? Was it a mindset shift, a system, a habit stack? Or does it just get easier with time?
