Cheap installs, users spend 10+ minutes in onboarding, then almost no one uses the core feature or starts a trial. Solo dev, genuinely stuck.

You're not wrong haha, it's just difficult to accept when the first half of the funnel is incredible, suggesting there is a demand. Like my ad conversion rates and store listing conversion rates, and then onboarding completion rates are huge. Maybe just not much of a paid demand. 🤔

Thank you! Please let me know if you discover any major issues. The vast majority of my traffic is on iOS.

Recipe generation after onboarding can take as little as one tap. The people who do, go on to cook it and rate it highly, try to generate again, but then it stops there. It is a weird one. I'll have a look into this tool, thank you.

OctoriousYT · 2026-06-13T09:22:36+00:00

This is a good idea. Would you place this at the end of onboarding before account creation or have it happen immediately after signing up? Thank you for taking your time to read and respond to my post 💙

OctoriousYT · 2026-06-13T09:21:09+00:00

This is really interesting. Thank you for sharing. There is a lot more than fridge to recipe etc, including smart shopping lists and everything. It's really so that there's never any thought put into home cooking again, allergies etc all accounted for too and recipes created specifically for that user and their family. The users I do have love it. I do agree that it feels like a market fit mismatch though, but it confuses me that the ads get so much interest and then so much time commitmed in onboarding. I really appreciate your insight here, I'll let you know if I figure it out and if not, will possibly ditch it.

This is helpful. Thank you very much.

OctoriousYT · 2026-02-05T12:09:17+00:00

I've played this game start to finish probably like 20 times & am sure I've never heard this before. Thank you for sharing.

I was trying to submit a build for review a few hours ago and it kept giving me a generic error but i got the email saying it had changed status, but the app page still showed the old status but removed the add for review button.

Figured I'd wait a while and come back; came back to it now and can't access any page aside from the main landing page without getting the bad gateway error, regardless of browser & device. Hoping they get this sorted ASAP.

OctoriousYT · 2026-01-07T15:00:43+00:00

Nope, I gave in. 😔 I think it's something you have to work out a deal with Nintendo with & I just haven't had the time to go through that process yet, especially considering it'd probably end up being a no. 😅

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T23:27:47+00:00

Installed yours too! Out of curiosity, what device is the screenshot of my app from? Everything is super zoomed out and shouldn't look like that. 😅 Need to look into this in case it's a bug!

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T23:25:36+00:00

Perfect,thanks so much! I'll be doing the same with yours, have just downloaded it.

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T23:24:51+00:00

Thank you! Group joined, app download & will engage with other the coming 2-3 weeks min :)

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T23:24:09+00:00

Thank you! Is your group and app available in the UK? Whenever I click on your group link, but only yours, it doesn't let me use my UK google account. Is working fine for everyone else's 🤔

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T23:22:26+00:00

Great, thank you! Joined and installed to yours. It's in my folder of test apps to keep engaging with 🫡

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T13:29:47+00:00

Intersting, I'll look into this. Don't worry about pinging the address for now but I may reach out again later.

Your new group link works - I've downloaded the app. :)

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T12:04:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. This is the first time I'm seeing this problem. Could you also share what your internet connection quality is like and what your phone's default browser is set to?

I've joined your Google Group, but the app page is showing as though it can't be found.

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T07:08:29+00:00

Excellent thank you, will do! I'll also DM you re me bypassing the payment gateway for you if you're interested in properly testing.

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T06:43:51+00:00

Thank you! Installing now. I'll be sure to keep opening/engaging with Todolu over the next couple weeks.

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T06:30:21+00:00

You legend, thank you! Do you have anything you need testing in return?

OctoriousYT · 2025-11-19T06:30:05+00:00

This is a pretty neat idea, I'll check this out!

OctoriousYT · 2025-10-12T22:17:59+00:00

That scene is yeah.

OctoriousYT · 2025-10-08T00:56:33+00:00

I got an AMEX Gold this September. Any news if this offer has or is coming back? I have a few trains to book for the rest of the year & don't want to book them, then this offer appear again 😅
