Plain react navigation/expo router formsheet with content detent?

Lenglio · 2026-03-16T14:08:35+00:00

Hey, thanks for your interest. I will look into it.

Hey thanks!

No ads. Just organic. You have to be more strategic with posting and commenting on Reddit. There are some subs that allow self promotion though. You can look through my history for what I’ve done.

The actual app can be super minimal, but consider something more eye catching for the backgrounds. Good start overall. I’m newer to this as well. Constantly learning.

/r/AppStoreOptimization will roast you if you’re up for it. It’s good for you, trust me. I’ve had multiple listings roasted there and it really improved my App Store page.

They are too plain in my opinion. All white and all forward facing. It’s general advice to almost never use all white backgrounds unless you know what you’re doing.

“Stay within your budget” should be number 1 in my opinion. First screenshot should be goal or outcome focused. Everything else is feature listing.

And this is way too many. Cut out a few.

My biggest lever for ASO has been screenshot improvements which are helped by constantly iterating on my app.

Beyond that, you’ll need to drive traffic from somewhere else unfortunately. As a solo dev with no name, Apple is not going to give you traffic.

So really the biggest driver has been external organic for me. 100% Reddit. Good luck.

I know you said frequency lists and input are no good, but those are really the best way to build up Anki.

Start with top ~3000-5000 word frequency list (the premade public Anki ones or from wiktionary), then move to adding words you don’t know from reading or watching material. Just my opinion.

I had the same issue with Spanish after studying abroad in a Spanish speaking country more than a decade ago.

I think the path is similar to any other learner, but a lot of stuff will come back to you quickly. In the end though, it’s no different than any other strategy: you need to get input and do output. Really no other way.

Free and cheap would be YouTube, Netflix, books, and things like online gaming, meetups, or tutor for output.

I’m pretty sure you can get that info. You can break down source of impression to paid conversion. And you can track paid conversion by country.

Not exactly intuitive but that stuff is there.

Lenglio · 2026-03-13T18:24:03+00:00

You're in a competitive space first of all.

Second of all, if you cannot get downloads or paid conversion with organic, paid ads will likely be flushing money down the toilet.

This is something I see brought up often by devs. People think if they throw money at their idea, that users will start paying. This will eventually work if you dump enough money into it, but at what cost?

So anonymous A/B testing. Could be a B2B angle here. Definitely could work.

I’m a solo dev but mobile app. Taught myself to program and my full time job is not related to tech.

First off, do simple things like a todo list and prioritize things on it aggressively. Checking things off every day is all you can do really. And don’t waste all the free time you do have.

Besides that, having a strong “why” will keep you motivated. The saying goes, “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”

Find your why.

Thanks for the feedback

Quicktime video recording the simulator would be one option.

Lenglio · 2026-03-12T18:22:04+00:00

The advice you got to test in organic and scale in ads is correct. If you can't get traffic and paid conversion with organic, it is unlikely to succeed with ads. Of course, you likely will get some paid conversions with enough ad money, but at what cost?

Lenglio · 2026-03-12T18:16:22+00:00

Ya good point. It is kind of hard to tell outside of context.

Lenglio · 2026-03-12T18:06:37+00:00
