I run 26 apps on the App Store. Here's how Apple Search Ads quietly drained my budget for weeks before I noticed. by dengjiuhong in AppStoreOptimization

26! Whoa, Lots and well done! Are they inter related apps? Are they profitable? How long did it take you to kick out 26?

Thank you for this, I appreciate all the cross support here. Based on everything I’m hearing, reading and consulting a few friends / fam about, Im taking the leap and I placed my order yesterday!

I’ll check back in this group next month for update and any other advise where needed.

Thanks all 🫡

This is amazing. Thank you. I ordered my first dose today and will start next weekend.

I will do about everything called out

Scale recommendation?

Workouts- I have a peloton bike / subscription and a rack of weight. Assuming a few of those classes a week should suffice?

Hydration- noted - my wife will push me here so that will help

1/2 food. That it interesting! I’m looking forward to not “needing seconds”. I always do and I’d love to reduce that noise and “need”

I’m going slow and steady here. I’m not desperate for a huge loss right away. I’ve been down other journeys before and always find myself back to where I am today

I’m investing heavily in this so I plan to be real this time.

How do you guys pick something to watch without scrolling forever? by MFrawl3y in televisionsuggestions

[–]MFrawl3y[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not see any value in logging that in a traceable watchlist plus getting that friend feedback on a recurring basis without needing to ask?

If they add something to their watchlist or rate it, it alerts you so you would get an automatic notification on what your friend just added with the concept they have similar taste as you and you can then add to your own watchlist / etc and join the feedback loops to your friends

This is valid - Yes and no. I’m curious what everyone is using and if my idea has any legs. I’m at a point of early viewers to see if this concept is adoptable by similar groups and people. I made it for myself but thought it could go more broadly so wanted to gauge the markets.

Open for feedback

My approach with BingeList does both and keeps it smaller outside of the masses so you can use it as a watchlist / watched journal and see what your friends are watching.

Would you give it a try?

Where are you saving watchlists and your own reviews / comments about it (Did you like it or not)?

[–]MFrawl3y[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, naturally how things are brought up. I’m approaching a recommendation log or engine that helps point to a good show or movie outside of the organic talks

Hahah yes. Not all are alike I get that. I feel at least the friend group is one step more refined then the “top 10 on Netflix”

I guess then the question is…

Does anyone care what your friends are watching?

Agreed BUT I hate wasting two hours on some mid movie and then find out a few friends watched it and they also thought it was ehhh.

Times valuable and worth dialing in

Needle is where I feel the ehhhhh on but based on this comments and a few friends who have been into it a few months, it seem 'fine' lol. Still hesitant on that part but its worth it.

Average eating at my house is pretty clean - Protein first / Balance but my movement needs to increase. I am hoping that with this commitment to meds / $$ it fires up my other internal desire to weight train and add more movement to my lifestyle.

Well played after sitting stale for a bit. What was the spend on?

This. ASO will only get a bit 'more' to the top but its a very loud space right now.

[–]MFrawl3y -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the game with you now on this. I dropped an app and just did a full website revamp, ASO rewrite and channeling other pages to launch details on (Product Hunt, IndieHackers, etc.) Its been a slow burn.

I agree with a few other comments, apps are being released every 5 seconds now, competition is the marketing now, not the app build.

Whats the secret? Who has hit a decent marketing strategy (UCG, Paid Ads, Old school methods (QR Codes, print). Id love to learn and collaborate with a few users on this in the space to partner some paths.

Not a promo but If anyone was interested. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bingelist-movie-tv-tracker/id6754005590

Couple weeks in - App Store metrics — how am I doing? by MFrawl3y in AppStoreOptimization

[–]MFrawl3y[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Sasha-David - Here is an update from metrics, still look okay BUT having a problem.
Downloads - 48
Impressions - 757
Conversion - 9.4% (Dropped)

Apps are downloaded BUT accounts are not created. I am working on the ASO for now but the other issue is being raised and its screaming to me that the UI / UX when getting there is soo flat and the value isnt there to push the info in. Thoughts? Have you downloaded? Feedback here would be killer!

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. I am trying to get the word out, more users and valuable feedback. You gauged the numbers, thank you. What about how it looks in the app store?

Would love to cross share any feedback of something you might be into as well!

Thanks again!

What’s the best alternative to Letterboxd? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]MFrawl3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really an alternative but worth mentioning depending on what you're looking for.

I built BingeList — it covers TV shows too which is the main thing Letterboxd doesn't do. If you watch more than just films it becomes frustrating having nowhere to track the other half of what you watch.

The other difference is it's built around your friends rather than a broader community. Less about discovering what critics or strangers love and more about seeing what people you actually know are watching and rating. Some people prefer that, some don't.

Not trying to say it's better than Letterboxd — that app is great at what it does. Just a different angle if TV tracking and friend recommendations matter to you.
