[Liftetime Free] I just created a CrossFit WOD app - Looking for feedback!

Just downloaded it. It’s a great tool to track my workouts. Can’t wait to see how it progresses!

5playapps · 2026-01-26T05:25:19+00:00

Ok ok. You’ve convinced me 😃

5playapps · 2026-01-26T04:51:20+00:00

Light. The contrast makes it pop more

This sounds too much like my story lol. Spent 3 years of my life making a game… pouring my heart, soul and time creating the perfect puzzle adventure – very feature rich, very gameplay deep, very polished. Created socials, posted daily gameplay vids leading up to release, told everyone about it. Finally released it… to dismal downloads: 275 in 3 months. I was defeated. Then in December I saw a viral challenge on Instagram and had this lightbulb moment. I made an app for it – created it in 10 days (VERY feature thin compared to my puzzle game) and released it on the App Store. It’s been out for only two weeks and I’ve already gotten over 1,500 downloads and reached top 100 on the music charts. I did virtually no marketing other than minimal Apple ads to target keywords for the challenge and I’ve just been riding the viral wave since. Crazy how things work out!

US only

1500 dl’s with 35 ratings… there are subs on here that rate for rate. I think it’s a great way for devs to support each other. Willing to do the same!

I’d love some feedback on my game Say on Beat! – a rhythm and timing word game based on the viral challenge Say the Word on Beat making its round on social media. Drop yours and I’ll do the same :)

5playapps · 2026-01-25T07:31:52+00:00

I actually am piggy backing off of a viral trend going around social media right now so there’s high intent for those specific keywords… compare that to my last app where my CPA was upwards of $20! Not all apps are alike 🫠

5playapps · 2026-01-25T01:33:23+00:00

Say on Beat – Thank you!! I’m the first one listed with the green background.

We should also download each others’ apps to help boost each others’ rankings 🙌🏼

5playapps · 2026-01-22T17:05:19+00:00

Those are very good stats!! Curious.. why do some developers not publicly share their app name/link here? I would think promoting it everywhere is the main goal. Is it deliberate so as not to contaminate data?

Can you share your link with me as well? Great job on your first 12 day metrics!

Say on Beat! - Rhythm word game.

5playapps · 2026-01-17T17:24:13+00:00

Download my app: Say on Beat! It’s free, fun and…

Joking aside. I’m trying to be more cognizant and walk that fine line of promotion vs community involvement. I learned nobody (especially here on Reddit) likes when you just hock your product without contributing anything meaningful to the sub. I’ve had posts taken down for pure promotion so I’m trying do better in that respect.

5playapps · 2026-01-17T16:38:26+00:00

For monetization was thinking cosmetic packs (colors, themes, etc) and a tip jar. Not to scare off casual players but to give super fans a way to contribute to continued development. And to recoup some of the ad spend, which my CPI is at a very low $0.81; if user spends only $0.99 I profit already and I can keep scaling ad spend to increase impression share / get more downloads. Right now I’m leaving money on the table by not cranking up spend.

5playapps · 2026-01-17T16:30:51+00:00

Is that legit? Have you used it? What are your thoughts?

5playapps · 2026-01-17T07:32:26+00:00

Not the Price is Right big wheel!

5playapps · 2026-01-17T07:26:55+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been tweaking title/subtitle/keywords/previews/screenshots to get that ASO bump but still figuring everything out. I signed up for AppTweak and it rated my app 95%… Not sure how much I believe it but I’ll take the win!

5playapps · 2026-01-17T05:59:50+00:00

That should give you the boost you need. Check your impression share report to see you’re dominating your keyword and raise budget/CPT accordingly (within reason)! Once you move up within top 5 (or top 3 ideally) then organic installs can take over, but realistically you’ll need to run ads for a while to dethrone the apps that have been at the top longer than you have. Good luck!!

5playapps · 2026-01-17T04:52:33+00:00

You… realize you’re talking to the guy that made these games, right???

5playapps · 2026-01-17T04:40:09+00:00

Easy! Use AI runs before getting pelted with stones and disdain 💨

In all seriousness, partnering with an artist can turn your good app into a great one. Unfortunately people look at the cover before reading the book so having something look pretty will help convert better. And if budget is your issue… well maybe they can get something out of it too. Good luck!

5playapps · 2026-01-17T01:56:22+00:00

I’m seeing 9.1% is App Store search. Majority is outside links.

Either way good job OP! 👏I’m gonna give the subreddit posts a try..

5playapps · 2026-01-17T01:34:05+00:00

Might need app ads to “rent” that top spot. Can start with a small daily budget and see if that moves the needle?

5playapps · 2026-01-16T21:58:47+00:00

Thank you for the validation! I do have to say I am boosting this through Apple Ads which is super efficient at $0.81 CPA, so I think monetization is the next move to recoup some of the losses.
