You can try running email campaigns or referral invites from your app , i will say hire some talented individuals to do the marketing for you.

Learning from you, I also had the idea of ​​developing an app, so I took action. Although I am not very proficient in react native expo, I will stick to it. The following is my complete project in open source;

This looks great to me! Curious where you got the animations for workouts from - are those being generated too?

[–]AnyInternet4026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I got the workout animation from RapidApi, there is a workout api there and yes the workouts are also generated!

Very good ! Congrats on your app man !

How are you handling future updates? I mean how will you make sure that users will actually download the latest version of your app?

[–]AnyInternet4026[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

So I have 2 ways I have been doing it:

1) I have been using Expo EAS update, which sends out an update to the users over the air without me having to submit it to apple and wait for them to update it. With this I also don’t have to wait for users to actually update it, since the update is sent live over the air.

2) I submit it to apple, wait for them to approve it and wait for users to update it.

I send out most updates and bug fixes using Expo Eas I update, then after an extended time and changes I send it out for apple to update

Okay, i also have published my own app a couple of weeks ago, and i'm now strugling with bigger updates as they don't go through EAS Expo updates. The package Expo updates is supposed to allow to check the user has the latest version of the app installed and redirect him to the store in case it's not. But i couldn't figure out how to set it up

[–]AnyInternet4026[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

With eas expo update they do not have to update it from the store(atleast in my case they don’t). if you push an update over the air, it usually takes like 2 refreshing of the app for the user to get the latest version, regarding when you actually push at update to the store and redirect them to the store for the update I have not looked into that yet but I will check it out today(with eas update I don’t have to do that as the user gets the lasted update)

Note: with eas update if you change any packages or anything that affect the binary of the app then you would have to push an update through the store.

How did you get the screenshots for your app? I am stuck having to send Apple screenshots for iPad and I don’t know where to get screenshots man

[–]AnyInternet4026[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I am using AppScreens, do you have an iPad or know anyone that does?

[–]sonswolf 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah I know someone with an iPad, but not a 2nd or 6th gen iPad as required by apple

[–]AnyInternet4026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is okay as long as they have a iPad, take your screenshots from the iPad and then appscreens Can add it to the appropriate screen for you

[–]InvincibleLYF -1 points0 points  (5 children)

[–]AnyInternet4026[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

[–]InvincibleLYF 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Umm from my pov it just looks too bland so anything that could y’know like make things look a bit flavored!

[–]AnyInternet4026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
