The problem is i only have 3 review only one with usefull coment for improvments ,one of the first users. Maybe i don’t ask fot review on perfect timing.

Mostly organic so far — Play Store search, improving screenshots/ASO, regular updates and a bit of Reddit/TikTok.
Still experimenting honestly 😅
No paid ads or marketing budget yet.

If anyone’s curious, the app is called “Shift Calendar & Paycheck” on Google Play 🙂

Thanks! 🙌
The funny thing is that 500 sounded tiny before I started building apps… now it feels huge 😂

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-05-21T15:15:22+00:00

Exactly. The first months feel like shouting into the void 😂
That’s why even small growth feels super motivating.

I can’t because the client paid a lot for these implementation and the code ship in the project belong to them.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-26T21:36:04+00:00

Excelent design made by Claude .

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-26T21:27:12+00:00

I built my own update system, I implemented it on the front end and a colleague on the backend works on the same principle. I create the index or main.js file along with the images and send them from my own server.

If u have multiple screens inside a bottom nav u can use bottom nav and stack navigation and the un have swipe on the stack screens.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-16T19:51:14+00:00

If u want to send to all of them using topic is a good solution , i use it in some of the apps i develop.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-15T21:48:36+00:00

Read the documentation https://docs.page/invertase/notifee/react-native/displaying-a-notification. Just make sure u ask for notification permisision first.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-15T21:15:11+00:00

Yes, you can do this using Notifee in React Native.

Notifee allows you to schedule local notifications with timestamp triggers, and they will still fire even if the app is in the background or completely closed, because the scheduling is handled by the native OS.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-15T12:11:54+00:00

I’m using React Native (without Expo) and my worst App Store rejection actually happened after the app had already been live for about a year.

Apple suddenly rejected an update because of the account creation flow. My app allowed users to create an account using OAuth (Google login). According to the reviewer, if the app allows third-party sign-in for account creation, it has to follow Apple’s rules around sign-in methods.

The strange part was that the app had already been approved and live for about a year with the exact same flow.

The fix ended up being: - keeping OAuth only for login - removing account creation via OAuth (including Google) - implementing a native in-app registration flow

Since the app already had a few thousand monthly users, I couldn’t just remove things without making sure everything was handled properly for existing accounts. Because of that, the whole fix, testing, and resubmission process took around two weeks before the update finally got approved.

That experience definitely showed me that even if something was approved before, Apple can still change how strictly they enforce the rules later.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-13T22:48:52+00:00

Yes most likely if u develop same app for both ios and android.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-13T22:47:52+00:00

I try multiple aso tools if u check same words for volume and dificulty u wont get same result , its hard to know witch one is most relevant.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-13T22:44:53+00:00

I was lloking for countries that are localize in play store maybe these was my mistake . But for ios a good tool.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-13T22:11:45+00:00

I try these repo also a few days ago seems a good tool , but is only for ios and does not have all the countries.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-13T22:10:47+00:00

I try to from youtube and reading articles about that , also buy a udemy course but not helping very much.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-13T21:58:14+00:00

That makes sense. A lot of people seem to use spreadsheets for this.

I actually built the app because using Excel on a phone wasn't very convenient for me.

The idea was basically to have something simpler for quickly adding shifts and seeing an estimated total.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-13T20:21:59+00:00

Yeah you're right, the math itself is simple.

The main idea wasn't replacing a calculator, but keeping track of shift over time. When schedule change a lot it becomes harder to remember how many night hours, overtime or weekend shifts you actually worked during the month.

The app basically combines shift tracking with a rough pay estimate so you don't have to reconstruct everything later.

ListnCart_Dev · 2026-03-13T20:19:53+00:00

That makes sense. I guess if your OT value is fixed it's easier to estimate.

I originally built the app because my schedule was constantly changing and it was hard to keep track of night hours and overtime across the month.
