Hi all,

Firstly i would like to say thank you to the people who helped test this app for me, it was a great help.

For those of you who dont know, I have made a darts game for me and my mates called Crazy Horses — basically a horse racing game using dart scores 🏇😂

We’ve been playing it down our rugby club and it’s actually turned out really fun (and competitive…)

Its something different to a standard game of darts and it’s actually a good laugh (especially after a few beers 😂)

Thought I’d share it here in case anyone else fancies trying something different on darts night 👍

Would love any feedback.

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been working on an Android app called VIGIL focused on smart monitoring, AI-powered features, and a futuristic user experience.

The goal was to create something clean, useful, and easy to use instead of complicated security-style apps.

Some features:
• AI-powered experience
• Modern UI
• Smart monitoring tools
• Fast & lightweight
• Smooth mobile experience

I’d genuinely love feedback from real users:

• What feels good?
• What should improve?
• What features would you like next?

Play Store:

Would appreciate honest reviews and suggestions 🚀

I just launched my first app on the Google Play Store: Metronome by AlightStar. It is just a tiny, simple application designed to help musicians keep their tempo. 🚀

Honestly, I could not have reached this milestone alone. I really want to send a heartfelt thank you to this community:

• Without this platform, independent developers like me would have no way to connect with each other.
• I am deeply grateful to the testers here. Without your constant feedback and bug reports, I would not have survived Google's stressful fourteen-day testing phase.

To be completely blunt, the whole review and approval process was a total emotional rollercoaster for me:

• I spent days filled with anxiety, just waiting for Google's feedback and feeling incredibly nervous every time I checked the console.
• To be honest, opening more than a dozen apps from other developers every single day was quite exhausting. Hilariously, there were a few applications where I had absolutely no idea what they were for, or they were in languages I did not understand, so I just ended up randomly tapping around (please forgive me for that! ^^).
• I was so terrified that something might go wrong with the application, forcing Google to reject it and making me reset the whole testing phase from the very beginning.
• I kept worrying that people would get tired of waiting and leave, which would mean I would not have enough testers. But luckily, most of the testers chose to stay and keep supporting me. Even though one or two people did leave along the way, I still had enough testers to cross the finish line.

If you happen to need a simple metronome or are just curious to see how this little project turned out after all that back-and-forth testing, please feel free to give it a try. Any honest feedback would mean the world to me.

Thanks again for all the support. Happy coding!

Thanks to AppHive, my app AdvoCase India is finally live after 4 times rejection from Google

Social planning made easier.

6 months ago, I was stuck.

I hit the same wall many of you are facing right now: the "14-day / 12-tester" requirement. I needed a reliable way to get through closed testing, so I built App Hive, a place where developers could support each other's journey to production.

Fast forward to today, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built. We now have over 4,000 developers in the ecosystem!

But the number that touches me most is this: 500+ users have taken the time to rate us, maintaining a 4.72-star average. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In a space where "copycat" apps have started to pop up, this level of trust from the community proves that our disciplined system with its mandatory screenshots, RP (Reputation) points, and verified tasks is what developers actually need to succeed.

Why the Hive keeps growing:

✅ Real Accountability: No ghost testers. Our daily task and evidence system ensures your 14-day cycle is solid.

✅ Quality Over Everything: The RP system rewards the most reliable testers and keeps the community healthy.

✅ More Than Just Testing: Once you pass the finish line, features like Hive Hub and The Colony help you network with other successful devs.

A massive thank you to the thousands of you using the app and the 500+ who shared their love with these ratings. We are just getting started! 🐝

Hey everyone 👋

Long time lurker, first time poster here. Wanted to share something I've been working on for the past few months. Honest reason I built this app I got genuinely annoyed.

I was trying every budget app on the Play Store and every single one either wanted my phone number, bank account access, or made me create an account just to track that I spent ₹20 on chai. It felt wrong. These apps are "free" but they're clearly making money off my data somewhere.

So I just... built my own. I'm a solo developer from India and this is my first published app.

It's called CashFlow - Expense Tracker.

The whole point was simple what if an expense tracker just worked, with zero data leaving your phone?

→ No login of any kind. You open it and it works.

→ Fully offline. No Firebase, no backend, nothing.

→ Adding an expense takes under 5 seconds. Genuinely timed it.

→ Basic analytics so you can see where money is going at month end.

Built it in Flutter. Local storage only. No ads inside the app either.

I'm not here to say it's perfect it's my first app and I'm sure there are things I've missed. But I'd genuinely love feedback from this community, especially around:

- Play Store listing / screenshots are they clear enough?

- Anything that looks off as a developer?

- Would you personally use something like this?

Thanks for reading. Any feedback is appreciated, even the brutal kind 🙏

Hey everyone 👋

I recently released my first puzzle game and I’m trying to improve it based on real player feedback.

It’s a simple arrows-based puzzle where you solve levels by guiding directions — designed to be minimal and relaxing.

I’d really appreciate if some of you could try it out and share honest feedback (even harsh criticism is welcome 🙏).

Things I’d love feedback on:
• Is the game intuitive?
• Level difficulty balance
• UI/UX feel
• Anything confusing or annoying

Here’s the link:

Even playing for 5 minutes and sharing your thoughts would help a lot.

Thanks in advance 🙌

I have a problem with social media. Uninstalling never worked, I'd always come back. So I built Retakr: an app + URL blocker that locks social media during work hours and sets daily time limits. It also has a strict mode that makes it impossible to bypass, that part really made the difference for me.

What bothered me about existing solutions: most are subscription-based (stressful), and the free ones are too easy to bypass. Retakr is a one-time purchase, works offline, no account, no data collection.

It's working for me. Hope it helps someone else too.

Would love honest feedback, features, UX, anything.

Right now, over 250 solo developers are navigating the 14-day requirement together. The active communities shown here represent a collective effort to move through the final technical hurdle toward Production.

🐝 The 17-Member Synergy

We organize developers into synchronized units of exactly 17. This structure provides a built-in safety net of 16 testers for your application, ensuring you stay safely above the mandatory 12-user threshold for the entire duration.

📸 Verified Activity

Reliability is built on proof rather than just trust. To ensure the consistent activity logs required for a successful 14-day streak, every participant must upload a daily screenshot of the app they are testing.

🛡️ Community Integrity

This is a system of mutual support where only those who help are permitted to stay. To protect the progress of the group, any developer who fails to test their peers' apps is automatically removed from the unit. This ensures the remaining 16 developers aren't held back by inactivity.

Join a community where solo developers don't have to face the 14-day hurdle alone.

Finally got pushed to production. AtherWave has been slow for approval across the board but thanks so much to AppHive and the group I was a part of. Can't wait to see the new exciting apps that get published.

Don't forget, not at all gets approved and published in a day, sometimes it does just take a week+

I built a Flutter app called CrazyTap – Speed Tap Challenge 🚀

The idea started when I wanted a super fast and addictive tap-based game/app experience with clean animations and lightweight performance.

Main focus:
• Smooth performance
• Minimal UI
• Fast interactions
• Lightweight APK

Built using Flutter.

I’m currently improving:t

• animations
• sound effects
• reward system
• UI polish

Would genuinely love feedback from Android users and Flutter developers.

What features would make this more addictive/fun?

I accepted a task to earn UPs, and later I joined a testing group. I completed all my tasks in the testing group, but I received this notification. I think it might be because I didn’t complete the “Codignia” task, but I don’t know where to find it.
