After months of learning Flutter in my spare time, I finally launched my first Android app.
It’s called **Quiet Lines**, an AI-powered journaling app designed to help people reflect on their thoughts, emotions, and daily experiences.
I started this project because I’ve always been interested in mental wellness and self-reflection. What began as a small side project slowly grew into a real product that is now live on Google Play.
Some things I learned along the way:
• Building the app was easier than finding the courage to publish it.
• App Store and Play Store requirements took longer than expected.
• Marketing is much harder than development.
• Getting the first real users feels more exciting than writing new features.
Right now, my focus is learning how to get those first 100 users and understanding what people actually find valuable.
For those who have launched apps or SaaS products:
How did you get your first users?
What marketing channels worked best?
What would you do differently if you were starting today?

I’d love any feedback, advice, or suggestions from the community.

I developed Weather World because I wanted a simpler, more helpful way to stay ahead of the forecast. I truly believe that a weather app should be a tool that makes your life easier, not a source of distraction with ads and confusing menus.

How it helps you: The core of the app is all about visual clarity. I’ve focused on creating intuitive graphs that let you see temperature shifts and precipitation trends at a single glance. Instead of reading through long lists of numbers, you can visualize exactly how your day will unfold. It’s minimalist, lightweight, and built for speed—perfect for anyone who values a clean Android experience.

I’d love your support! Please give it a try and see if it helps your daily routine. If you find it useful, please recommend it to your friends! As a solo developer, your support and word-of-mouth are what help me improve and grow.

A little while back we posted here about launching our calorie tracking + meal prep app. Since then we've shipped a big update and given it a proper glow-up — new name and new logo included.

It's now Mr BITE: AI Nutrition Coach.

Same core idea, sharper execution:

• AI-powered nutrition coaching — log meals and get personalised guidance, not just a number on a screen
• Calorie & macro tracking that's actually quick to use
• Meal prep planning to take the guesswork out of the week
• New brand & logo that better reflect where we're taking the app

Huge thanks to everyone in this sub who gave feedback on the first version — a lot of it directly shaped this update.

Would love your thoughts on the new direction, and happy to answer anything about the rebrand or the build. 🙏

Since June 27th/28th, my Play Console Statistics tab (installs, ratings, all of it) has been completely frozen. No new data at all, not even the usual day-or-two lag, just nothing. Is this hitting established apps too, or mostly newer/smaller ones? My app's still fairly new, so I can't tell if this is a "new developer" quirk or a genuine outage on their end. Would help a lot to know if others are seeing the same thing, drop your app's age and whether your stats are moving.

Hey everyone,

I just launched my first Android app on Google Play and would love honest feedback from other builders.

The app is called Alea. It’s a small calisthenics dice app: one die chooses the exercise, another chooses the reps. The idea is simple: when you don’t know what to train, you roll and start moving.

What it currently has:

- Random bodyweight exercise + reps

- 100-rep workout mode

- Streaks

- Basic stats

- Workout history

- No ads

- No account

- No subscription

I’d love feedback on:

- Is the concept clear?

- Is the Play Store listing convincing?

- Does the app feel too simple, or is that the point?

- What would you add without making it bloated?

- Any UX/UI issues?

Thanks !
This is my first released app, so honest feedback would help a lot.

I have been posting a lot in Threads about my app mainly focusing on the pain points my app is solving. And what? My posts got 80 likes and 150 installs in a single day! You need to be creative on what to post. You will need media such as video demo and snapshots to make users engage your post. The 800+ users stats from the play store are outdated, the current number of users I have is more than 1k. The ASO screenshots are not yet optimized but I am getting 20+ daily organic installs. Most installs are local and I plan on using Google Ads to get more installs from other countries.

The reason why I am using Threads instead of other platforms such as X or Facebook is that I am getting more views from Threads and engagement while on X and FB almost getting none...

Today I noticed something that made me smile.
My app Quiet Lines generated its first earnings on Google Play. It’s only €2.12, but seeing that someone found enough value to subscribe is an incredible feeling.
A few months ago I was learning, fixing bugs, improving the UI, posting for feedback on Reddit, and wondering if anyone would ever use it.
This isn’t life-changing money, but it’s proof that building something people are willing to pay for is possible.
If you’re working on your own app, keep going. Small milestones are still milestones.

Hey everyone,

I recently built a mobile word guessing game called Word Clash. It has solo play, daily challenges, Fever Mode, and multiplayer lobbies where friends can join with a room code and play together.

I’m still improving the game, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback on:

• gameplay flow
• UI/design
• multiplayer experience
• bugs or confusing parts
• features you would like to see added

The game is free to play. There are optional rewarded ads, but I’m trying to keep them fair and not annoying.

Thanks in advance to anyone who tries it. Feedback would really help me improve the next version.

It took some time but my app is finally live in the playstore.

One of the most annoying processes ever. That testing period is actually so hard to deal with. (And weirdly random, because the last time I applied I didn't even had 12 testers...)

As a student indie developer, I always wanted a place where small projects could get discovered without competing against heavily funded startups.

Share your apps, websites, SaaS products, AI tools, games, and side projects. Follow other builders, get feedback, and see what's being built.

It's still early, and I'd love your feedback.

Hey folks,

I recently launched ShrinkIt (my first one on play store), an app for compressing images and PDFs directly on your device.

It's completely offline and currently supports:

• Image compression
• PDF compression
• Batch compression
• Image resizing
• Format conversion

Would really appreciate any feedback on:

• UI/UX
• Ease of use
• Performance
• Features you'd like to see

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sprintapps.shrinkit

Not trying to promote it here - I genuinely want to improve the app and would love some honest opinions. Thanks! 🙏
