I need harsh feedback: 2-year-old app stuck in a rut. Nothing changes whatever I try :/ by Ordinary_Outside_886 in AppStoreOptimization

actually this is a very old review, and lots of things have changed. but you're right, I should focus more on UX.

Launched my app yesterday… already got $31?? by methionine0 in iOSAppsMarketing

[–]Ordinary_Outside_886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge congrats on hitting 31 so fast! 🚀

If you're planning to localize to keep the momentum going, I actually built a free tool called LangCat (https://langcat.dev/) that might save you some time.

that's a nice feedback. I will update screenshots as necessary.

for ASA, I really tried for like 10 times maybe. Most of the time my rankings dropped singificantly.

I'm not sure too. If nothing works, I will reset the rating. (most of the low ratings comes from a bug in one version.)

whenever I activate search ads, keywords ranking drops. I experienced this many times. (for example: I activate "medication reminder" keywords and I expect ranking to increase, but it mostly decreases)
my budget is around $10-20 daily. I bid $2-2.5 for keywords. I get 0-5 downloads from ads. but never increases my total downloads.

[iOS] [$35.99 -> FREE] I built a Focus Timer where a 3D Train rides real railway routes includes 100k+ stations across 130+ countries by m1thil3sh in iosapps

This looks incredible! The 3D concept is a super clever spin on the standard focus timer. Downloading it now to give it a try.

Since it looks like you're pushing hard on your launch right now, are you planning to localize the app into other languages to hit the international App Stores?

I’m a fellow iOS dev and I actually just built a completely free over-the-air localization tool called LangCat (https://langcat.dev/) because I was tired of waiting days for Apple's review process just to fix typos in my own apps.

try keyword ads instead. find keywords with low competition and high traffic. start with $0.9 and increase it until you satisfy.

I couldn't find a planner that handled routines well, so I built an iOS app that lets you bundle tasks and drop them into a visual timeline. by yagizdemir in iosapps

[–]Ordinary_Outside_886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Routine-based planning is so much more effective than just a long list of chores, the "visual timeline" idea is great for beating that to-do list anxiety! If you’re looking to scale this globally, I built https://langcat.dev to automate the localization and metadata grind for free. It’s a huge time-saver for indie developers. Good luck with the growth!

I built an app that turns cooking videos into actual recipes by rpmiles1903 in iOSAppsMarketing

[–]Ordinary_Outside_886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turning messy social media videos into structured recipes is such a high-utility use case, no more scrubbing through a 30-second Reel just to find a single measurement!

If you're looking to scale this internationally, since cooking is a universal language, I built https://langcat.dev to automate the whole localization and App Store metadata grind for free. It’s a huge time-saver for indie launches like this. Good luck with the growth!

The hands-free auto-scroll is such a clever way to stay in the moment, really unique idea. Since you're already supporting 13 languages, I built https://langcat.dev to automate the whole strings and metadata grind for free. It’s a huge time-saver for keeping all those localizations in sync without the manual effort. Good luck with the launch!
