r/AppIdeas

You scan your video game shelf, your games get added to the app, then you get matched with other users who also want to exchange apps. It's already on the app store, but I guess I can't post the name without breaking the rules.

I want to build a new mobile app, but honestly, I’m stuck on what to make.

I’ve asked AI for ideas, but it keeps giving me the same things. to-do apps, habit trackers, expense trackers, AI chatbots, etc. 😅

I want to build something simple that actually solves a real problem.

How do you guys come up with app ideas? What’s a small problem you have that you wish someone would make an app for?

I'm building a new app that allows you search, filter, visualize data all in one place. It's meant to connect people to books to articles to cooperations to universities, all in one place, where you can apply sorts and filters.

Which name do you think sounds best for this app:

1-Flexipedia

2-Nexipedia

3-Curio

4-Something else

My idea - long distance couple/friends always get tried to text boring stuff like how was your day? or what are you up to? so instead of text how about you sent a 5 sec video whenever you and your partner can and at the end of the day we will make you full daily video where we show split screen, one side what you are doing and one side what your partner doing so, the basic idea something like when you wake up at 8 and you send a video to your partner , your partner send back one video about what he up to on 8 morning.

Problem - to test this idea i get user but non of them go beyond the invite screen they all stuck on invite their partner screen and can't even use the main future of the app which is on home screen

Questions:

1. Would you use this, as a long distance partner or long distance friends?
2. What is wrong with my on boarding that out of 4000 user no one go to home screen?
3. Is this idea wroth to pursue in long distance couple market?

EDIT: Reading the comments, I think I explained the idea badly 😅

Parallel isn't about seeing what your partner is doing “right now,” and it's not meant to replace Snapchat/WhatsApp.

Think of two separate days happening in parallel:

8 AM: I'm having breakfast → she's commuting
12 PM: I'm working → she's having lunch
7 PM: I'm at the gym → she's cooking

We each capture a 5 second moment. Parallel pairs those moments side-by-side, so you can see what both of your lives looked like around the same parts of the day.

At the end of the day, those moments become one short video showing both days together.

That's the idea I'm actually trying to validate.

If that still sounds like something you wouldn't use, I'd genuinely like to hear why.

You have an app that totally undermines aesthetics and hypergamy.

Basically you take a survey about your requirements and interests that puts you into a narrow pool of people you're interested in.

Then you're randomly placed into a chat one at a time with a person who met these requirements. You chat for as long as you want with each other and you either confirm or reject based on the open convo. If you both confirm THEN you get to see what each other looks like if you reject you get rolled to the next person.

Upsides:

Women aren't swamped with suitors like now.

Men aren't doom swiping and barely reading profiles.

Everyone cares more about what matters and less about what doesn't.

If supply outstrips demand in any direction you merely get a message that there's a waiting period and it's nothing personal making everyone more mentally healthy.

Hi everyone! I am severely depressed lately and even taking a shower feels difficult. I thought how cool it would be to have an app which can sort of motivate people like me. So here are my main points

1. You earn points by completing daily tasks

2. There is a timer - maybe pomodoro or just a normal timer which you can turn on while completing the task.

3. It would be great if the app offers you to make a profile similar to social media where you can connect not only with your contacts but with other people too and message them. That way you can make friends too.

4. The feed of the certain user may offer the option to add a photo - for example "i exercised today" - and a progress photo and also add text and let others comment.

5. Maybe you can have notes within the app or add goals.

Please let me know if anyone decides to make it.

So how I imagine it, you could either type in an address or use a sort of street view map to find out what a business or public place used to be. There are a lot of places that used to be other things. Sometimes it’s obvious, like when you see a restaurant that used to be a Pizza Hut. It’s a distinct building. But it’s not always as obvious as a Pizza Hut.

I always find it interesting to find out the history of a building. It could be a crowdsourced project where people can submit histories for review and once approved they get added to the location.

So for years I have been wanting to get into creating content for kids. For the most part I do not like the content kids are exposed to as alot of it is incredibly overstimulating, and relise on algorithms that keep kids hooked to the social media app there on. My goal with this app idea is to not only create a space for more calmer and gentle kids shows but to also be designed to not keep kids hooked or brain rot them.

I want to give parents a more common sense reliable option for content for their kids and give them an option they can feel confident that it won't keep there kids scrolling for hours on end and killing their attention spans. Any feedback on this idea is greatly appreciated thanks.
