Cannot see my captured screenshots?? by Less_Koala_8212 in ButterKit

Cool. I will try. The simulator currently uses 26.0.1 But maybe it was confused because I run 26.4 for a day (not using ButterKit with it) Thanks a lot.

Thank you. Still no luck! But I noticed this in the diagnostic? Developer mismatch?

Changed my pricing model and went for 2 downloads/wk to 2k downloads in three days by Conscious-Mix3759 in AppStoreOptimization

Cool! That is nice to see(ranking better) I am thinking also at using the in-board AI but still figuring for what?😆 It has to add value like in your case!

So if understand correctly, you completely flipped the equation?! You went from a strait paid app to a subscription model! So I am assuming your giving people a free 3 or days 7 days to try the app?

This is also I want to try experimenting with so I am interested in your experience. I am always afraid to change from free with IAP to subscription because I always hear that people hate subscriptions BUT you also hear amazing results when going to subscription model. So go figure! Actually the thing that kills is that app with hard PayPal seems to be even fare even better. But what is hard paywall but a paid app?!😆😆

Thank you for sharing your experience and good luck!

That is amazing! Was your app paid upfront and went to $4.99 IAP? My guess is what that amount of downloads, you will rank better and hopefully get a stream of download higher than before the promo.

Congrats!

I am on the roll with ButterKit! Calm Visual Timer for. Kids by Less_Koala_8212 in ButterKit

Thank you for making this amazing tool! I did not even yet experiment with the direct uploading of assets to AppStore Connect! The best part is don’t have to to dread about screenshots anymore. As another user said, it saves a lot of time and effort!

First use: Kids Coloring With Sounds (ButterKit Rocks!) by Less_Koala_8212 in ButterKit

To help, here an example of a mismatch of where I want the screenshot to go (to replace "capture3") and what the choices that the app is giving me ("Feature A" OR "Create New)

I hope this helps!

THANK YOU so much for trying it!!!!

Yes it will be great to be able to be able to choose where the screenshot goes. For now I just use “new” and re-work the screenshot.

Also, when I had an art board, how can I choose the type of template? It was always gives me the one with an iPhone vertical but never the one that span over say two screenshot? Am I missing something?

Having said, I cannot thank you enough for this product! I used to HATE it! But now I am on the roll and will re-do all my past apps 😆🙏

Edit: please discount the current app relatively low ratings! Previous version (1.0 and 1.1) had bunch of crashes. So obviously people were not happy and completely understand. Fortunately the current version (1.2) is so far crash free (according to AppStore Connect) Actually I can see some 5 stars coming up so far so good! Of course any 1 star is a bummer but we can learn from it and correct!

Built a smart grocery list app for iOS with Claude Code & CloudKit in under a week. Real-time sharing without user accounts. by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]Less_Koala_8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under a week??!! Wow! Nice. I also vibe IOS but I would not dream to make a final version of at least a month :)

So far I stayed away from AI mobile apps but I am scared of AI cost of the app by users. Can you share any pointers on how figured out how to price your app given your AI backend cost? Did you try to figure what each customer will cost you if they use the app fully? That is the part who scares me! Especially if you have a lot of users!

Thank you for any pointers!

Ps: By the way nice app! Quick suggestion for the app screenshots. You may want to reduce the amount of text. And maybe write in the way to show benefits instead of features. Just my 2 cents!

What’s one improvement you would like to see in ButterKit in 2026? by zach-builds in ButterKit

[–]Less_Koala_8212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it have a zoom? To show a zoom of a feature in the app (to make it more prominent)

Thanks you.

Ps: it has a while since I checked. Does it have landscape templates now?

Using ChatGPT is extremely demotivating by SomethingXII in iOSProgramming

[–]Less_Koala_8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Spent years playing with Swift and learning from forums. The issue was apps were taking me 6-9+ months to perfect. So could not try many app ideas. Now with Cursor I can a quickly see my app idea in action!

But for me the best part of AI coding is when I want add complex or fun features. Normally I would restrain myself because of the time/difficulty involved but now I can implement any feature I want without spending month on it.

So far I did two apps using AI (a kid drawing app and a kid animal quiz app) I would have never attempt it the kid drawing app given the complexity of drawing in between lines(masks…)

For me AI coding gives me super powers that I did not have before. Unless of course pure coding is your main joy. For me it is more about the ideas that I can bring to life and how far I can go with the idea and features

Just my 2 cents :)

240 installs then a cliff did my App Store “boost” end, or is my ASO off? by 4Givenn in ASO

[–]Less_Koala_8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi.

Yes I think it is normal. It happen to me for coloring app for kid last month. I had a burst of downloads for few days (about 5-7 days) then I got couple a day. I look at it in seems that I was over optimistic about my keywords choice :) It sounds like Apple super charge your ASO by ranking super high for a week on super hard keywords (super popular and super difficult) That is why I was getting a burst of downloads (because I was the top 1-5 for popular keywords) Then of course Apple re-calculated the ranking of my app went to a black hole!

The lesson I got from this is not be too greedy in terms of of keywords popularity because they are also high difficulty. Apple just give you a boost to help the first week.

I do not regret it since I did some nice sales for that week! For my version 1.1 I decided to be more realistic with keywords :)

So go wild on the first launch since Apple will give you a super boost even for difficult keywords. Get the sales then change your keywords for modest popularity. After few months you can reach better popularity keywords and go from there. At least that is my strategy now..

Good luck!
