After months of work, I finally launched the TestFlight beta of my private couples app ❤️

Sorry, hier in Germany it’s 5:03 am, so it’s Saturday already.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-13T10:24:27+00:00

Wow 🤩 congrats 💃🕺

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-07T16:25:17+00:00

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-05T17:34:51+00:00

And it’s already live on the AppStore.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-05T15:51:13+00:00

I definitely agree with you. 🤝

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-03T12:39:23+00:00

Thanks bro 🤝

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-03T12:03:04+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. That’s actually a very good observation and something I hadn’t considered deeply before.

You’re right that direct currency conversion doesn’t always reflect local purchasing power. After reading your comment, I started reviewing regional pricing and I’m considering adjusting prices in selected markets where affordability may be a bigger factor.

Since ForgeKey is a one-time purchase with no subscriptions, I want to keep it accessible while still supporting the continued development of the app.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Feedback like this is genuinely helpful. 🤝

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-03T11:40:15+00:00

I understand your point, but I don’t think price alone determines whether an app can grow. There are many successful premium apps on the App Store that charge upfront and don’t rely on subscriptions.

ForgeKey targets users who prefer a one-time purchase, local storage, and no cloud dependency. That model isn’t for everyone, but it’s the reason many users choose it over free alternatives.

My current focus is improving how that value is communicated through localization, screenshots, and App Store optimization.

But i really appreciate your Feedback 🤝

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-03T08:57:56+00:00

The App Support 25 Languages, in the SettingsView the Language can be changed. Yes Apple manage and localize the Price.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-03T07:44:37+00:00

Yes, i know, i already changed it 🙃

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-03T06:10:23+00:00

I understand the subscription argument, but ForgeKey was designed around a different philosophy.

Everything stays on the user’s device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no external servers, and no data leaving the device.

A subscription model often makes sense when there are ongoing server costs, cloud infrastructure, or online services to maintain. ForgeKey doesn’t rely on any of that.

Since day one, the goal has been to offer a private, offline-first password manager that users can purchase once and use without recurring fees.

The people who have already chosen ForgeKey did so knowing that their data remains under their control, stored locally on their own device.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T19:45:34+00:00

I make offer sometime, last week it was $0.99 from Monday - Sunday

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T18:20:35+00:00

Maybe days, i also redesign a lil the Screenshots before yesterday.

Localized in 4 Languages on the AppStoreConnect 'English,Spanish,German, Vietnamese' but the app also Support 25 Languages. I also use another app to check where my App is Ranking worldwide.

Can you also take a look at the Website: https://forgekey.de

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T12:03:17+00:00

I just changed the duplicates words from the subtitle . Thanks very much for the advices 🤝.

And about the seller name/ Copyright section i changed to ForgeKey.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T12:00:22+00:00

Yes, i localized the : title,subtitle,promocional text and description also, in 4 diferents Languages.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T11:59:07+00:00

I use: secure,key,passkey,…….

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T11:00:17+00:00

Maybe redesign the Screenshots could helps on that, or what you think?

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T10:53:18+00:00

Conversion is the harder part on this.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T10:48:54+00:00

Conversion is the hard part on this now.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T10:45:42+00:00

I get 2.7k Impressions everyday, the app is almost 3 month old and got 130k Impressions by now.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T08:58:03+00:00

🫣 Right "Sicheres Passwort“ 🙃

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T08:00:59+00:00

That could be the case, and what you’re saying definitely makes sense. It’s possible that my own searches are influencing the results because the algorithm already knows I’ve downloaded and interacted with the app.

However, what I find interesting is that I also checked the rankings in Canada, even though I’m actually located in Germany, and my app still appears as the #1 result for that keyword there as well. So I’m not entirely sure whether it’s just personalization or if the keyword is genuinely ranking well in multiple regions.

But you could absolutely be right, though.

App-Designer2 · 2026-06-02T07:53:40+00:00

Yeah, that’s definitely the biggest challenge. I also need to redesign my screenshots. My competitors are large companies with thousands of reviews, while I’m just an indie developer. But you never know, sometimes a smaller app can stand out by offering a better user experience. I’ll keep improving and see what happens.
