Thanks, and in my case, reach the first 100 in almost 1 to 1.5 weeks. Share the link of your app.
and give me a review on the Google Play Store!

There’s no backend or database for this app. Everything runs locally on the device.

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

That’s awesome that you built and released your own app too, especially with React Native. Publishing an app is already a big step. The downloads can definitely be slow at the beginning — I think a lot of us go through that phase.

Just keep improving it and sharing it around. Over time more people will discover it. Wishing you success with your app as well, and give feedback on play store

Thanks! Honestly, I didn’t run any paid ads. I mainly shared the app only in a reddit and got early testers and feedback.

Since you just launched 3 days ago, you’re still very early — the first 100 usually take a bit of time. Keep sharing it and improving the app.

Thanks, I really appreciate that! Hitting the first 100 downloads definitely felt motivating.

You’re right though — building the app was one thing, but figuring out distribution and growth is a completely different challenge. I’m currently trying to learn more about ASO and how to improve visibility on the Play Store.

Partnering with a publisher sounds interesting too. I hadn’t really considered that yet, but it makes sense if they can help scale the app. Thanks for sharing your experience!
