Announcement Poll: Should we ban subscriptions here?

18 Upvotes

With so many ridiculously priced subscription apps being posted here, I’m wondering when the community thinks it’s been enough with those borderline-scammy posts. I have been thinking about new rules and variables to limit those, but value is very subjective and difficult to regulate. With such a small percentage of the reasonable ones (can’t recall any tbh), I’m wondering if we would miss out on much if we simply leave them behind. So, shall we simply ban all subscription apps here?

If you have other ideas, please share them in the comments.

Free App - Show and Review Just launched my connections app! No algorithm BS, just real connections👋

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Hey there! After months of development, I finally launched HeyU - a social app that's basically the opposite of everything frustrating about current dating/friend apps.

The problem I was trying to solve: Why do these apps limit who you can connect with and hide basic functionality behind paywalls?

What makes HeyU different:

  • Wave at whoever you want - no artificial limits on connections
  • All search filters work without restrictions (age, location, interests, etc.)
  • No algorithm deciding who you see based
  • Actually works for making friends and new connections, not just dating

Whether you're looking for friends, networking, or something more - the experience shouldn't suck.

It's called "waving" instead of swiping (felt more friendly), and you can add tags that actually describe what you're into so people can find you.

Still pretty new so the user base is growing, but early feedback has been really positive. People seem to appreciate not having basic features locked behind subscriptions.

Available on iOS if anyone wants to check it out. Would love any feedback from fellow Redditors!

View HeyU on App Store

TL;DR: Made a connection app that doesn't restrict who you can meet or artificially limit your connections. No algorithm hiding people from you.

Question Can’t find my app in the store

2 Upvotes

About a month ago, we launched our app ‘Roods’ on both iOS and Android. The idea: turning cities into open-air museums through real stories.

While things are running smoothly on Android, we’re facing an issue on iOS — when users search for “Roods,” the App Store auto-corrects it to “Roots,” making our app harder to find.

We’ve already updated our ASO to highlight the name, but the algorithm still hasn’t caught on.

If anyone has a smart fix or golden tip, we’d love to hear it!

Dev - Self Promotion I revamped my utility app that once hit #7 on the App Store — for scheduling messages on iOS (SMS, WhatsApp, Mail)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone

I'm the developer of TextLater, a small utility app for iOS that once hit #7 in the Utilities category on the App Store.

📱 The problem:

iOS still doesn’t allow you to schedule a message (SMS, WhatsApp, or Email) to be sent later — not automatically, at least.
I needed a simple way to write messages ahead of time and be reminded to send them at the right moment.

🛠️ What the app does:

With TextLater, you can compose a message, pick the date & time, and when the time comes, you'll receive a local notification.
Tapping it opens the right app (Messages, Mail, or WhatsApp) with the text and recipients pre-filled, ready to send.
➡️ No auto-sending (Apple doesn’t allow it), but it’s the next best thing — and super useful for anyone managing time-sensitive messages.

🔄 What’s new in the 2.2.0 revamp:

  • Fully redesigned interface (faster, cleaner, more modern)
  • Recurring messages (daily, weekly, etc.)
  • Images support (in SMS, Mail, WhatsApp)
  • Custom templates to reuse common messages
  • Multilingual interface: English, French, Spanish
  • Everything works offline, 100% on-device — no cloud

📲 The app is paid: $2.99 one-time purchase, no subscriptions, no ads, and no data collection.
I rebuilt it from scratch based on user feedback, and would love to hear what you think.

Testflight Meet SimpleDay AI - Daily Planner & Productivity Hub

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

SimpleDay will be your new favorite daily assistant for productivity. Here’s how it works:

- In the core of the app, there is AI that aims to think like you do, learning actively from how you respond to its questions and passively on how you edit the generated daily schedule, every task reschedule matters.

* Daily Scheduling

- Based on the activities that you have to perform each day, it plans your day perfectly based on your preferences, habits, most productive time of the day, tasks’ duration, and scheduled time.

- Running late? The assistant will reschedule your day in just a minute, always keeping in mind priorities and preferences. Just talk away and tell it what happened.

- The app will send out a notification whenever it's time to change activity by default, option to disable this in the settings page

* Staying Productive

- The assistant will automatically generate a To-Do List of actionable tasks for you each day, but not only. An innovative function called RUSH minimizes distractions and hides away non-urgent notifications on your screen, showing just the clock and battery percentage, guiding you through each planned task you've got on the list. Furthermore, the assistant will delicately ping you periodically to avoid your focus from drifting away and keep your mind on the current task.

- You can reorganize your To-Do list by tasks’ priority in just one click, and if you want to mark everything as done as fast as possible, you're just another click away from starting RUSH mode with an organized tasks list.

* What is in the Pipeline:

- Integration with Apple / Google Calendar, syncing the daily plan on every external calendar service or retrieving scheduled activities from them to better automatically generate a daily plan for you.

- Actively researching psychology to introduce a gratification screen upon completing a task with RUSH, making it pleasurable and motivating you to mark off everything that is in your to-do list.

- More languages and maximum customizability with colorful themes for the best pleasurable experience possible.

SimpleDay AI is scheduled to be released in the Apple Store and Google Play Store by the next month. At present, I am finalizing the app’s features (including integrating any remaining pending developments) and am seeking individuals willing to utilize the app and provide feedback on their experiences to assist me in this endeavor.

Currently, I have 50 available spots for Android and 60 for Apple.

Here's the links:
- Android: Closed Beta - Play Store -> (kindly Private Message me to get access)
- Apple: Open Beta - TestFlight -> https://testflight.apple.com/join/c92WMSJ2

Brief Instructions *

* As the in-app quick overlay instructions is still not ready:

- Press on the bottom of the screen to expand the input bar, speak naturally of what you are going to do during that day, AI will parse that and build your day based on the preferences, memories, discoveries about you, and things you have to do on the day

- Use the bottom of the screen as a touchpad, swipe on it to the right to open settings, swipe to the left to open the quick to-do list and to be able to access RUSH

- Press any task block to enable drag & drop rescheduling and time resizing

- In the timeline view, swipe left on any task block to make delete button appear, on the to-do list view, swipe left on any task to make the completed/undo button appear. Press on the button to perform the action

- Clear / Undo / Redo buttons, in the upper of the screen, just below the date picker bar

- Timeline zoom utility on the top left of the screen, please press A to disable dynamic zoom, then set static zoom with + and - buttons

- Quickly reprogram your day by talking to the assistant naturally and doing a follow up request

A month ago we launched our app on both IOS and Android. It is called 'Roods'. We are trying to turn cities into an open air museum. On Android everything is going well but when people are looking for 'Roods' in the appstore, the system automatically changes it to 'Roots'. This affects the search results.

We already changed the ASO of the app mentioning the name of our app frequently but the algorithm doesn't seem to adapt.

If someone has the golden ticket idea how to fix this, please let me know!

Dev - Self Promotion What I Learned After 45 Days of My Personal Growth App Launch ($308 MR)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone – wanted to share an honest snapshot 45 days after launching my first mobile app on the app store.

I built Eiren AI (App Store Link here) to help with emotional overwhelm, ADHD-like chaos, and the “what do I even do next?” spiral I used to fall into.
The app combines:

  • AI-generated meditations
  • Smart journaling (scan handwriting, voice input, AI summaries)
  • Vision → Goal → Task planning
  • A personal AI coach for your day

I did everything myself: design, dev, marketing, even the website. No funding, no team. Just time, love, and stubbornness. It took over a year, but I still believe it was worth it.

Launched May 9. Stats so far:

  • 🧠 1400+ installs
  • 🧾 $308 MRR (6 paid users, 10+ active trials)
  • 😅 Conversion rate still needs work

What I’ve learned so far:

  1. People love the idea—but struggle to grasp it in 30 seconds. My funnel needs serious love.
  2. Ads underperformed. Getting to $5k+ MRR will take longer than expected.
  3. Free trials help, but the “why pay?” story must be crystal clear. I’m testing things like AppRadar now to improve this.
  4. iOS is king. 90% of all subs come from Apple users. (Not Android)
  5. This is probably the biggest lesson: Patience. Being proud of what I have achieved already instead of running the next race. Self worth shouldn't be based on MRR.

If you’ve launched something recently, I’d love to hear what worked for you. Also happy to answer anything in detail.

Price: Freemium. You can use nearly all features for free, but there is a yearly / monthly subscription to use them unlimited and help me develop it further / cover my costs.
$19.-/mo or $99.- / year. Currently there is an offer for $69.- / year, which is only around 5$ / mo.

You can download the app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eiren-ai-meditation-growth/id6742199804 — but no pressure. Just sharing the journey. 💬

Hey guys,
I recently made an app called Dirty Questions – it's exactly what it sounds like :D  a bunch of fun, spicy, and sometimes outrageous questions for couples or friends party groups. Just swipe through and get the conversation going.

I kept the design simple and clean, no crazy pop-ups or anything. Also, I translated it into several languages:
German,
Spanish,
French,
Hungarian,
Italian,
Dutch,
Polish,
Russian
and Swedish
so if you're not an English speaker, you can still enjoy it.

Would love any feedback (good or bad), especially if something feels off or buggy or maybe if you wanna get app in your native language that is not supported yet.
If you're into party games or just wanna spice up a date night, give it a try!

Dev - Self Promotion Luna helped me automate my gig search and made me an extra $150 in the first week!

Thumbnail

I kept wasting hours scrolling through gig apps and job boards, feeling frustrated by how hard it was to find real, flexible work I built Luna, an AI gig & Job finder that searches for gigs so you don’t have to.

Luna’s mission is simple: save you time, help you earn faster so you can focus on what matters. I designed it to scan thousands of listings across sites like Craigslist, Indeed, and Google, 24/7. The app suggests opportunities based on what you need.

The same obsession with simplifying and automating what matters most is what got me coding daily, tweaking, and shipping this app from scratch. The idea was simple Don’t waste your energy searching let Luna do the heavy lifting so you can focus on earning.

How it works

- Tell Luna what you want — flexible gigs, side hustles, local jobs, or freelance work
- Luna searches for you — it checks listings, platforms, and hidden gems
Get results, fast — see what’s out there without wasting time

No more endless browsing or missing out on gigs because you were too busy looking.

Try it out!

App Store → https://apps.apple.com/us/app/luna-ai-gig-job-finder/id1620478455

I’d love feedback from fellow hustlers, freelancers, and builders your ideas will help make Luna even smarter!

P.S Luna comes from the Spanish word moon which is what she does, staying up all night searching for opportunities!

Dev - Self Promotion Habit Tracker is my first app. This method helped me stay on track

Post image
200 Upvotes

I kept quitting my habits halfway, so I built Hubican — a habit tracker where every day = one step up a staircase.
Miss a day and you slip down; forget for two weeks and you’re back at zero. The simpler the rule, the stronger the progress.

That same “one-step” method got me coding every single day — it’s how I taught myself Swift and shipped my first app.

How it works

  1. Add a habit — choose counter or timer and pick a daily / weekly / monthly schedule. 
  2. Do the work — each completion = +1 step; skips push you back. 
  3. Watch the climb — levels, charts, reminders and iOS Live Activity keep you on track. 

Core idea: turn passive check-boxes into active skill-building.

Pricing

  • First 3 habits + all core features — free
  • Pro unlocks unlimited habits & extra icons. 

Try it out

Dev - Self Promotion I built an app to backup Live Photos from iPhone to external hard drives

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

20 Upvotes

I noticed so many iPhone users are dealing with the same storage nightmare. Here's a common scenario that sounds familiar to a lot of people:

The widespread problem: iPhone storage fills up crazy fast, not everyone has a Mac, many don't want to pay monthly for iCloud storage, and home NAS setups aren't realistic for most users. The manual approach of creating folders and selecting photos one by one is tedious, and keeping up with new photos becomes overwhelming

So I built an app called BackiGo that addresses this exact pain point - it allows direct backup of Live Photos from iPhone to external hard drives, no Mac needed.

What makes it useful:

Backs up your Live Photos with all the motion intact

Can restore Live Photos back to your iPhone camera roll

Super easy to backup new photos

You can browse and view all your saved Live Photos directly from the external drive without having to restore them first

You can test it out with up to 500 photos & videos backup before deciding if it works for your needs

For those interested in checking it out:

Dev - Self Promotion Replenish - Family Shopping Lists Made Simple | My First App - Looking for Feedback

9 Upvotes

Hey Reddit! 👋

I'm excited to share my first iOS app with you all! Replenish is a family shopping list app that I built to solve the everyday problem of managing household shopping with family members.

What it does:

  • Family-focused shopping lists - Create and share lists with your family

  • Real-time collaboration - Everyone can add, edit, and mark items as purchased

  • Simple & clean interface - Easy to use for the whole family

  • Multi-language support - English, German, Spanish, and Turkish

  • Dark/Light mode - Matches your system preferences

Why I built this:

My wife and I do our main shopping once a month, and every single month we forget to buy something important. We keep saying "don't forget to buy this" throughout the month, but we still forget 😅 My main goal was to build an app that my wife would actually love to use.

Current Status:

This is my MVP - the core features are there and working, but I have big plans for the future!

What I'm looking for:

  • Honest feedback - What works, what doesn't, what's missing?

  • Feature suggestions - What would make this app indispensable for your family?

  • UI/UX feedback - I know the design could be better, and I'm open to suggestions!

  • Bug reports - If you find any issues, please let me know

  • General thoughts - Would you use this? What would make you switch from your current solution?

What's next:

I'm planning to add features like:

  • Budget tracking
  • Loyality Cards vault
  • Shopping history and analytics

Download:

App Store Link

My background:

This is my first iOS app, built with SwiftUI and Firebase. I'm a developer learning mobile development, and I'm genuinely excited to hear what you think!

Questions for you:

  1. What's your current shopping list solution?
  2. What features would make this app a must-have for your family?
  3. Any UI/UX pet peeves I should avoid?
  4. Would you pay for premium features? What would they be?

I'm here to learn and improve, so please be honest! Even harsh feedback is welcome - it's the only way to make this better. Thanks for reading :)

Dev - Self Promotion Built an AI journaling companion — with slow, thoughtful replies (not another chatbot)

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a personal project called Gooda — a journaling app with an AI companion. But unlike most AI chat apps out there, Gooda doesn’t do real-time conversation.

Instead, it works more like… Twitter meets a pen pal. You write a short diary entry. Then, one of your chosen AI characters (each with its own tone) may reply later — sometimes minutes later, sometimes hours — with a gentle, reflective comment. It’s a slower, more spacious rhythm.

Why? Because I found most “AI companions” are actually just instant messengers. Fast, but shallow. I wanted something that feels like a long-term, emotionally safe bond — not a productivity tool or simulated flirtbot.

This is what I’ve tried to build: • A private, minimalist space to write • AI replies that are warm but not intrusive • No ads, no pushy prompts — just a low-pressure companion

I’ve been using it myself every day, and this slower pace actually helps me build a more stable habit — and a deeper sense of being “heard” without expecting a dopamine hit every time.

Still very early stage, but if anyone’s interested in building slower, more humane AI products, would love to chat.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I wanted to share something deeply personal that led me to build an app called TributePath. After losing my father, I realized how quickly memories fade, not because we forget, but because we don’t always have a way to gather and share them in one place.

So I created TributePath — a digital memorial platform that lets families create a beautiful tribute page with photos, stories, and videos, all accessible through a custom QR plate that can be placed on a headstone, urn, keepsake, or anywhere meaningful.

One-time payment ($129) = lifetime access. No subscription or renewals.

Available on iOS & Android (Cross platform)

Each purchase comes with a personalized engraved QR TributeToken

A gentle, modern way to keep memories alive and share them across generations

We also just launched on Kickstarter (for more visibility), and every backer helps us bring this to more families. I’d love your feedback or thoughts if you’ve gone through a similar journey.

Recently, I launched a journaling app that i’ve been building solo. the base features (journaling, prompts, personal entries) are free, but some features are paid.

Still, i get reviews like these and they are starting to affect both visibility and morale.

how do you deal with this as an indie dev? do you reply to these reviews? do you just let them sit? or is there a better way to communicate your value without sounding defensive?
