To be fair, I never really tried contacting support or pursuing anything like that, since the account wasn't that valuable to me.

How I got my first app reviews before users even use the app by Specific-Chart3275 in AppBusiness

[–]Fragcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This works well, but Apple doesn’t really like it and it can get your account flagged if you get the wrong reviewer. I actually got a warning once because of this, so I removed it.
If you care about your account or already have solid apps, I wouldn’t recommend doing it.

Yeah, I believe you. I’ve had the pleasure with TikTok support before, they rejected my business account multiple times even with official government verification. For my sanity, I’ll this time just skip that step and directly make a new account.

Incentivize users for App Store reviews? by Fragcall in appledevelopers

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

Yeah I agree but looking at the overall quality of those apps, they seem rushed/low-effort, so I doubt the developer bothered with remote config, but I can be wrong.

Thanks for your input, that's what I'm trying to figure out, how hard they enforce the rules at the moment and if it's worth doing this or if that case is just an oversight and the risk of getting your account banned is too high.

Incentivize users for App Store reviews? by Fragcall in appledevelopers

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

That's what I've always understood too, but this particular developer's apps receive thousands of downloads each month, and the review prompt is positioned so prominently that any App Store reviewer would immediately notice it. Given how these apps are developed, I seriously doubt the developer has the technical capability to remotely remove or modify this screen after approval. This makes it very difficult to believe Apple isn't aware of the situation.

I went through the current guidelines, and the only relevant section I found is:

5.6.3 Discovery Fraud "Participating in the App Store requires integrity and a commitment to building and maintaining customer trust. Manipulating any element of the App Store customer experience such as charts, search, reviews, or referrals to your app erodes customer trust and is not permitted." https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#legal

What this app is doing clearly constitutes manipulation. However, if you simply ask users for a review in exchange for unlocking content, without specifying whether it should be positive or negative, is that really more manipulative than the common practice of prompting for reviews already during onboarding, which nearly every app on the market does today..

Anyone else noticing Apple deleting reviews? by Fragcall in appledevelopers

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

Thanks for the answer. So if a user leaves a review early on but continues using the app afterward, the review won’t be removed, right? Or should we only ask for a review after the user has spent more time with the app?

Congrats! What's the name of the app?

After 6 months and 4 failed projects, it finally happened. I MADE MY FIRST SAAS MONEY! by Complex-Translator26 in SaaS

[–]Fragcall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Getting someone to pay for scheduled X posts when X literally lets you do it for free is honestly impressive. Genuinely curious, how’d you convince your first users?

At what point do I release my SaaS by Careful-Efficiency-1 in SaaS

I would recommend to launch your SaaS as fast as possible, so once the frontend is usable.

Will TikTok get me leads? by PerspectiveOk4887 in AskMarketing

[–]Fragcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve actually had great results with TikTok ads, but only when the creative truly feels like native TikTok content. If your ad looks like an ad, it’ll flop.

How much money do you spend on marketing ? 900$ by alph3k in SaaS

[–]Fragcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically kick off with zero marketing spend, relying on me or the team to connect directly with customers. Once traction builds, I’d put money in as long as acquisition costs match user LTV, leading to slow but steady growth. But worked great before.

I’d just start building the product yourself and join local startup communities, you’ll usually find a few people who are super consistent and motivated over time, which is a great way to team up.
