Hi all, looking to get some more reviews on my app. Willing to review yours as well! Just put the link in the comments. Here’s mine:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/momentra-ai-travel-journal/id6761501623

Momentra is an AI travel journal for iPhone. You log memories as you travel – photos, notes, the vibe of a place – and the app uses AI to suggest destinations, generate itineraries, and turn your trip into a shareable postcard.

Just shipped my first iOS app after 4 months solo.

Wrapped a 4-month solo build and shipped Reflect on iOS last week.

It's a journal app — voice transcription in 10 languages, paper-journal OCR, and AI insights over your own entries (Yearly Narrative, "Ask AI" with citations from your writing).

Stack:

- React Native + Expo SDK 54, EAS Build

- Firebase (Firestore + Cloud Functions on Node 22)

- Gemini via Vertex AI server-side, ADC — no client-side key

- RevenueCat for subs

- Native Apple Watch companion

- ~52 screens, 10 languages (EN/FR/ES/PT/DE/IT/AR/KO/JA/HI)

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6762427801 (Disclosure: my app.)

Happy to answer anything about the architecture, Expo 54 stability, or the server-side Gemini setup.

A few things I'd love this sub's take on:

  1. Vertex AI vs. AI Studio key. I went Vertex + ADC to keep the key off the client. It added boilerplate. Worth it for you, or do you stick with a key behind a proxy?
  2. Apple Watch companion. Has yours actually driven discovery, or is it purely retention?
  3. Cold launch with 0 followers. Beyond ASO, what actually worked for your initial distribution?
  4. Localization. Did shipping in 5+ languages pay off commercially, or would English-only have been fine for early validation?

I built an app that tracks UPI expenses from screenshots — took me 3 months

Was tired of not knowing where my money goes
every month. Manual entry apps never stuck.

So I built BillShot — you just share your
Google Pay/PhonePe screenshot to the app and
it extracts the amount and merchant automatically.

Would love honest feedback from people who
actually use UPI daily.

Just shipped my second app: Anchored - a daily devotional for Christian couples

I just shipped my second app: Anchored: couples devotional— a daily devotional for Christian couples

Quick context: I'm building apps on the side. Work as an Infrastructure specialist and do this as a side hobby.

Why I built it

My wife and I kept saying we'd do devotionals together. We'd start, miss a day, lose the thread, give up. Every Christian couple I know has the same story. The existing apps are either solo Bible readers or generic devotionals — nothing built around two people reading the same thing on the same day and actually talking about it.

So I built that.

What it does

- One short devotional per day, shared between you and your partner
- A Bible reader
- Streak + 'growing together' tracking
- Home screen widget with the day's anchor

Where I'm at

Live on the App Store today. Free download, with a subscription for the full devotional library and partner sync. Android build is next.

Happy to answer anything about the stack, the design choices, the freemium setup.

Link in comments so this doesn't get auto-flagged.

[Android/iOS] built a workout + nutrition app solo, happy to swap reviews

so I've been building this fitness app called Better for the past year and finally feel good enough about it to share

it basically combines workout tracking and nutrition logging into one app because I was tired of using Hevy and MFP separately. 300+ exercises, PR detection, macro tracking, progress charts, works on both Android and iOS (built it with Kotlin Multiplatform which was... an experience lol)

I know getting reviews as a solo dev is rough so I'm down to review yours too. drop your app below and I'll check it out today, leave an honest review

A few things users have called it: "what stock alarms should be on iPhone" (Germany), "so flexible anyone can find the perfect alarm app" (Italy) and "possibly the best alarm app" (US).

It takes a different approach from the typical trying to annoy as much as possible so users wake up. It is for those who wakes up easily, yet their schedule is so varied it is a hassle to toggle switches everyday. Or they just want to avoid doing that all together.

With templates/folders, you can setup once how you like your alarms to be grouped together. Absolute time for template and relative time for folders. Then you apply it to days/weeks as you need. Or remove them all at once when you don't. Never have to face the alarms wall of shame again.

With simplified calendar automation based on calendar events, you set it to run daily and all your alarm needs are automatic, showing up on lockscreen widgets, homescreen widgets, in-app schedule, live activity and dynamic island.

With flexible recurrence, start/stop date, vacation mode and skipping (this one from Sleep as Android), you can truly set alarms that fit your need, skip alarms when you don't without changing the routine.

And last but not least: separate volume and crescendo option per alarms, not just a single Sleep schedule alarm like Clocks.

A few days left to purchase Lifetime at the price of 1 year sub. Ends May 1st.

[iOS] Shift Calendar — free shift planning app for nurses, security guards & factory workers

Hey everyone!

I'm a solo developer and I just launched Work Shift Calendar on the App Store. It's a shift planning app built specifically for people who work rotating shifts — nurses, security guards, factory workers, firefighters, etc.

What it does:

  • Add any shift in 3 taps (morning, night, overtime — you name it)
  • Smart rotation engine — define your pattern once (e.g. 2 day shifts, 2 night shifts, 2 off) and it fills your calendar automatically
  • Free calendar sync with Google Calendar and Apple Calendar (no paywall for this!)
  • Salary & overtime tracker — see exactly what you'll earn
  • Home screen and lock screen widgets
  • Works fully offline — your data is stored on your device first
  • True OLED dark mode for night shift workers
  • Available in 18+ languages including Arabic (full RTL support)

Why I built it: My friend is a nurse and was frustrated with existing shift apps — they either lost data, had aggressive ads, or locked basic features like calendar sync behind a paywall. So I built something better.

What's free: Unlimited shift types, calendar sync, widgets, offline mode, all views (month/week/year/list). The free version is genuinely useful — no catch.

Pro version ($7.99/mo) adds advanced stats, detailed income reports, PDF export, and overtime analytics.

I'd really appreciate it if you could try it out and leave an honest review on the App Store. Even a one-line review helps a lot for a new indie app!

App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6762512550

Thanks for checking it out! Happy to answer any questions.

[Review Request] I built a clean Video Compressor app. Looking for honest feedback on UX & ad placement. Happy to test and review your app in return! 🤝

Hey fellow devs! 👋

I recently published my indie project, Rhino Video Compress, a utility app designed to shrink large video files without forcing watermarks or complicated menus.

As an indie dev, getting those first few honest reviews and testing it across different Android devices is the hardest part. I would be super grateful if you could try it out and let me know your thoughts.

I’m specifically looking for feedback on:

  1. UI/UX Flow: Is the compression process intuitive enough?
  2. Performance: Does it run smoothly or crash on your specific device model?
  3. Monetization Balance: I added banners and rewarded video ads. Do the placements feel fair, or are they too intrusive for a utility app?

Here is the Play Store Link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhinomobile.videocompress.app

Let's support each other! 👇 If you test my app and leave some feedback/review, please drop the link to your app in the comments! I will personally download, test, and leave a detailed 5-star review for your app in return.

Thanks for the support, everyone! Keep building! 🚀

My friend fixed my dating profile in 20 minutes. Spent 6 months turning her advice into an app

Bit of context first, I had just broken up and decided to try dating apps again. Zero likes, zero replies and zero idea what I was doing wrong.
Called my friend, Ami, who gave me tips on what works and what doesn’t. She showed me how different it is for girls. Her profile had 50+ likes without a single face pic. She revamped my profile – swapped photos, wrote prompts that show my personality. She showed me what kind of replies got her attention.  And it did work, I started getting matches, like real matches.
And I figured, there are a lot of people who don’t get dating apps. I spent the next few months talking to people, collecting data from online communities and built a dating assistant that would do what Ami did for me. 
WingX is your personal dating coach -

1.      Point it to your dating profile, it will show you what to fix, which photos to use

2.      Got a match and don’t know what to say, it writes a message that actually gets replies

3.      a coach for the messier stuff like ghosting, first date jitters, vibes

There are similar apps on this segment – but I built it to be more genuine and less cheesy pick-up lines. For people like me, who don’t get dating apps - it guides them on what works and what doesn’t, dating 101s and build a profile that shows your best side

For the nerds — Hosted it on GCP, Vertex AI for agents, Firebase for authentication/database

Shipped on Android, Free 3-day trial - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.polymindsai.wingxmobile
First time app builder so would love any tips on how to market this. Really curious on how other developers went about finding their users

[iOS][$14.99 -> Lifetime Free] Voice Message Reminders Alarm: Reminder alarms with your own voice

Hey everyone,

I made a simple reminder alarm app for iOS and Android.

The main idea is that you can create reminder alarms using your own voice instead of the usual default alarm sounds.

For example, you can record messages like:

“Take your medicine” “Drink water” “Time to study” “Don’t forget your meeting” “Call your family” “Stay focused”

You can also use the voice of someone you love, which makes the reminder feel more personal and harder to ignore.

I built it because I felt normal alarms and notifications are too easy to dismiss. A familiar voice can sometimes be much more effective than a random sound.

It can be used for medication reminders, daily routines, studying, work tasks, habits, hydration, and personal motivation.

I’d love to hear your feedback.

thank you ❤️
