I tried a lot of TV remote apps and hit a paywall on every one — the volume buttons locked, ads before you can change the channel, or a forced login just to connect. So I made AnyRemote, a free universal TV remote app with everything unlocked. No paywall, no login, and no full-screen ads — just one small banner at the bottom that stays out of your way.

A – What problem it solves:
It replaces your lost, broken, or missing TV remote by turning your phone into a full universal remote — and unlike most alternatives, every button and feature is free.

B – Why it's better than alternatives:
Apps like this lock the essentials behind a paywall or bury you in full-screen ads. AnyRemote keeps every core feature free, with only a single non-intrusive banner.

Features:

Full button control — volume, channels, mute and every essential button from your original remote.

Turn TV on/off — power your Smart TV on and off straight from your phone.

D-Pad navigation — move through menus and apps with a responsive directional pad.

Smooth touchpad — highly responsive for fast, precise navigation on your TV.

Keyboard input — type search terms and logins from your phone instead of the painful on-screen keyboard.

Voice control — search and command your TV hands-free.

Playback controls — pause, rewind and fast-forward your content with ease.

App launch buttons — open your favorite TV apps with a single tap.

Auto-reconnect — reconnects to your TV automatically so you're not re-pairing every time.

Screen mirroring — mirror your phone's screen onto the TV for a bigger display.

📺 Supports most major TV brands & streaming devices:
Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Vizio, Roku, Xiaomi TV, Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, Fire TV Stick, Roku Streaming Stick, Google TV Streamer, NVIDIA Shield TV, Apple TV, and more.

C – Cost:
Completely free. No paywall on any feature, no forced login. Supported by a single small banner ad — no full-screen or interrupting ads.

About me / transparency: Hi, I'm Mian Abdul Mateen, the developer of AnyRemote. You can reach me at cocostudios321@gmail.com . Full transparency below along with my Privacy Policy and Terms.

I’ve been working on my first iOS app for months, and honestly I’m starting to question whether I’m missing something obvious.

Here’s everything I’ve done so far:
- The app itself supports 87 languages.
- I localized the entire App Store page into every language Apple allows (40+ locales).

Localized:
- App name
- Subtitle
- Description
- Promotional text
- Keywords
- “What’s New” for every update
- In-app purchase names and descriptions
- Created App Preview videos.
- Designed custom screenshots.
- The app collects zero user data.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching ASO and optimizing keywords for every locale instead of simply translating them.
I’ve also promoted it multiple times on LinkedIn and X.

Despite all of that, these are my numbers:
1.9k App Store impressions
462 product page views
49 first-time downloads
~6% conversion rate
Less than 50 active users

At this point I’m starting to wonder if ASO alone just isn’t enough anymore for brand-new apps.

For those of you who’ve launched apps recently:
What would you improve first?
Is there anything obvious that I’m overlooking?
Is the problem simply the lack of initial momentum?
Or is the Photo & Video category just incredibly difficult to break into?

I’m genuinely looking for honest feedback because I’ve reached the point where I don’t know what else to optimize.
If seeing the App Store page would help you spot any issues, here’s the link:

I got completely tired of modern social media being ruined by aggressive algorithms, data-tracking, and cluttered feeds. So, I decided to build CoolTopia—a clean, respectful, and completely algorithm-free social platform.

Here is what makes CoolTopia different right now:

• 🔮 Aura Profiles: Ditch the boring, official look. You can choose different vibrant aura effects to frame your avatar, showcase your actual energy, and make your profile stand out instantly.
• 🔗 Built-in "LinkMe" Feature: No need for a separate Linktree. CoolTopia has a built-in link aggregator that lets you keep all of your social accounts, portfolios, and projects in one beautiful place, ready to share in any of your social bios.
• 🔒 100% Free & Privacy-First: The app and services are entirely free. Most importantly, we will never sell your user data to other companies.

We are just getting started and will continue to drop new features and improve the user experience based on real community feedback.

You can download the app for free right here:

Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cooltopia.mobile

Thanks for your support and I'd love to hear your feedback!

I've been working on CoinCurrently for almost 6 years at this point. After 4 years I felt really stuck and kind of realized that I won't get much further alone so I made a post on Reddit that I was looking for a designer. I found a guy and once we started revamping the app, we realized that there's so much more we want to do and that requires a better backend. Doing both the iOS and Android app, I figured we need a dedicated guy for backend. The team grew to 3 people. After almost a year and a half, we finally finished revamping the entire app. It's now better looking, easier to use and is faster than ever. Free, no ads, no tracking. It's all on your device. I'm really proud to show the new CoinCurrently to the world.

A: In my opinion, the problem CoinCurrently solves is ease of use. The bigger crypto trackers are so crammed with things and the UI looks very cluttered. We've spent a ton of time to make it as easy to use as possible, everything stored on device, no tracking, no ads, no account

B: I know there's a ton of crypto trackers out there but in my opinion, crypto should be privacy focused. A lot of the bigger apps and websites requires you to sign in to use certain features and they obviously use it for targeted ads. Nothing like that in CoinCurrently.

C: CoinCurrently is freemium. All features are available for free, but you can do more of it with premium. Monthly for $3.99 or annually for $29.99

I would appreciate your feedback so we can continue to make it a better app

iOS: CoinCurrently iOS

I know this is an iOS forum but I'll just throw in the Android and Web link too if anyone prefers those platforms, I hope that's okay.

I'm Jerry, founder of Monni.

I'm giving 20 people a free 1-year membership in exchange for blunt feedback on the first week.

Monni is an iOS money brief for people who want a lighter weekly check-in instead of a full budgeting system.

Best fit:

• you use or used Mint, Monarch, YNAB, Simplifi, spreadsheets, or mental math
• you want a clearer "what's safe to spend this week?" view
• you're okay telling me what feels confusing or untrustworthy

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/monni-ai-money-tracker/id6778174904

Website: https://monni.io

DM me if you want one. I'll reply asking for the email to grant access to, then manually add the free year.

Please don't post your email publicly, and don't send balances, screenshots, account numbers, addresses, passwords, or private financial details. High-level workflow feedback is enough.

I may be biased because I'm the founder of Monni.io.

Most to do apps become messy lists, and calendars feel too structured when you just want to plan your week.

I wanted something simpler, so I built Tally: a weekly todo app where tasks are organized by day, and the whole week stays visible in one clean view.

No time slots, no calendar clutter, no complicated planning system.

Just a clear weekly view, fast task input, Home Screen widgets, light/dark mode, and simple customization.

You can also reorder tasks by time or priorities.

I genuinely think this can help people stay organized very easily

Because I want to get it into the hands of as many people as possible, it’s free to try for 7 days, then just $2 one time. No subscription, no account.

I would really appreciate feedback if anyone tries it.

I’ve been heads down building GainFrame for four months and just hit 6k revenue and $2,500 + just this month.

https://verified.revenuecat.com/gainframe

I’m not going to take a full month just to focus on marketing. So far it’s paying off I’m seeing an increase in users already

Here’s a rundown of some of the stuff I have tried this week https://gainframe.app/blog/out-of-the-box-marketing-experiments/

Comment "App" and I will send it to you.

Hey everyone! We got tired of saving things in five different places (screenshots, Instagram saves, TikTok favorites, open tabs) and never finding any of them again. So my co-founder and I built Swuvi.

It's basically one searchable home for everything you save. Each save gets a next step category (Read, Watch, Listen, Make, Try, Buy, or Do), and you can set a custom reminder ("remind me in 2 weeks") for things like a product you're considering or an article someone sent you.

One thing we decided early: no AI. Most of the bookmarking apps we looked at were adding AI to auto-sort and summarize your saves, and honestly, we just don't think AI needs to be in everything. 

If anyone wants to try it, we'd really appreciate honest feedback!

Desk job = chronic neck/back pain, and every "take a break!" app failed the same way: notification pops up, I dismiss it in half a second, nothing changes.

So I built ErgoGuard. When the break alarm fires you can click on the notification, and it opens your camera and uses on-device pose detection to watch you actually do the movement (squats, arm raises, neck stretches, etc.) and count real reps before you can dismiss it. Short, low-effort movements (30 sec–2 min) — not a workout. Fully on-device, no video ever recorded or sent anywhere. You set your own schedule and work hours. Manual fallback if the camera can't see you.

One-person side project — feedback welcome, especially if you try it for a day.

Hi everyone,

Over the last year I've been building Agile Athletes, my first iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/agile-athletes/id6758623960.

The original idea came from being frustrated with switching between multiple apps just to track my workouts, monitor my daily steps, and stay accountable.

So far the app includes:

* 💪 Workout tracking

* 👟 Apple Health / Health Connect step syncing

* 🤖 AI Coach

* 🎥 AI Form Coach (video analysis)

* 🤝 Fitness Network to connect with other gym-goers

* 🧠 Mind Center focused on recovery and wellbeing

It's now live on the App Store & Play Store.

Now I'm trying to market the app successfully. I've recently started:

* creating Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn pages,

* posting demo videos,

* improving my App Store screenshots,

* learning ASO,

* and reaching out to fitness creators.

I'd really appreciate feedback from people who have launched consumer apps before.

Specifically:

* What would you improve about my App Store screenshots or positioning?

* Which feature would you market first?

* Would you focus on ASO first, creators/influencers, or short-form content?

Also, if anyone here works in app marketing or fitness content creation, I'd also be happy to connect and learn from your experience.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m currently building my project Nativa and I’m looking for some feedback and a few early testers.

I’m a 22 year old developer and my goal with Nativa is to rethink language learning in a more social and fun way.

When I talk about learning, I don’t mean endless grammar exercises that barely help in real conversations.

I mean actually becoming fluent — through real conversations, meeting new people, and finding language partners.

With Nativa, AI-powered Topic Cards help keep every conversation going, so you’ll always have something to talk about.

No more awkward silence, no more dry conversations — just natural communication.

I’m looking for people who would like to test it early and give honest feedback.

I have a Waitlist on my bio.

Every opinion helps 🙌

Thank you🫡,

Colin from Nativa

Hello everyone!

I created this app because I wanted to follow the World Cup in a beautiful interface. I wanted an app that gives you match schedules, live scores, live match events, live stats, insights, group standings, pre-match and live predictions, knockout bracket, widgets, favorite teams and players & more.

I managed to get my app approved by Apple just 1 day before the start of the World Cup, since then I already released 2 updates, so the app now works flawlessly. 

Many functions are free, for the predictions, advanced insights, stats, lineups, advanced notifications there is a one-time IAP for this tournament. 

All the schedules, live scores, group standings, match overview are completely free.

I'd love to know if you like it, suggest improvements or tell me about any other feature you would like to have in the app.

Thanks!
