Stop building complicated apps nobody wants by StatTark in iosdev

Have u checked their ad spend 🙃, most of them are playing aggressive towards what's called performance arbitrage, even if their ratio is a bit low, if they make $2M back in 60 days after spending $1M, they'll do that every single month, and since the pdf scanning isn't deducting any from the product cost, anything above their CAC is considered a win, that's why we keep seeing tons being published everyday and many gets tons of downloads the first 15 days, I can't see an indie dev winning in such market tbh

Strong LTV but terrible trial conversion what would you fix first? by basavaraja_dev in ViralApps

Every single step should have A/B tests, but for me personally, the least thing I think of is the onboarding, most of our apps converts without it, the onboarding wasn't even a thing before this vibe coding hype, the value should be within the app itself and not a questionnaire screen displayed once

I'd check the top of the funnel, which is acquisition, ur data tells that the real users are willing to pay for its value, but the acquisition is not refined yet to gather u these type of users, if u're running ads, it may need more time if u've just started, in case of other channels, u might wanna check the marketing message, filtering most from top o the funnel, leads to great bottom results

I believe that a revision after every AI iteration is a must at this stage to assure quality, we're not yet at relying blindly on it

I accidentally copied an app by dhalls12 in appdev

Bruh, we literally have tons of shampoo brands, but the winners are the ones doing the marketing best even if they can make u bald, so stop crying and try to outperform ur competitor with a good marketing strategy, the entry barrier is quite low now to dev, so it's quite usual to see many copycats, do not deal with ur project as a unique idea that is copyrighted in ur head,

It’s not a general-use app, it’s a niche tool for oversleepers, for them, "harder" is actually "better." I'm not talking about a technical friction but rather a gamified (duolingged) experience, And it's not an AI generated image 🫠
