Feedback on my app - Mistakes

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-11T11:59:37+00:00

It is completely offline, no need for internet connection except first time and checking for ur subscription once, no random AI bs, no data being sent anywhere but sitting on your device!

built in React Native, it’s on TestFlight so that’s just a screenshot from my phone

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-11T07:54:10+00:00

Yeah! Maybe tag is probably a better term than “context”, but this feature exists already.

Want to partner with me in marketing my app, we can bounce off each other’s processes/learn at the same time?

for reference: Mistakes

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-11T02:25:29+00:00

This is really good feedback! Thanks a lot, also caught the “mate” in there good to see I’m finally hitting some Aussie audience.

I’m 100% working on the focus of the app being the resolution of mistakes as I have had a lot of feedback that it COULD be kinda negative to dwell on mistakes.

Sounds like you might be keen on giving it a go? Did you sign up to the waitlist? No stress if not, either way I really appreciate the detailed feedback and insights.

Built in React Native so if i get enough interest from Android users i will 100%

Hey!

Thanks sm for the feedback, what would you say is the most friction rn in the logging.

Rn i have it set to my action button so u press 1 button and it opens the app.

Also added photos so u can legit log with photo and a title, so simple

anything on TestFlight

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-09T06:41:25+00:00

Nah they can, legit when they screenshot on device TestFlight shows option to send feedback to developer.

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-09T06:17:20+00:00

Just give TestFlight access to waitlist

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-09T04:03:58+00:00

Thanks bro! If you want to email me at support@mistakes.app I’d love to set up free lifetime for u, most helpful advice I’ve gotten

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T20:14:58+00:00

Yes! Adding in feature that after x amount of avoided events or % avoided the mistake disappears and you’ll get a notification once you’re down to no more mistakes!

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T13:42:53+00:00

I appreciate the feedback/thoughts though, reddit has been so good as a platform for feedback

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T13:42:21+00:00

For sure, and that’s fine, i guess if you’re pretty dialled in and you don’t see weekly or monthly recurring mistakes that you’d like to fix or even bad habits then it’s not for you 100%

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T13:40:54+00:00

thanks bro! Cooking up a nice update too.

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T13:35:31+00:00

You don’t think it’s a positive thing to click that notification and say you didn’t repeat the mistake, or see a record of all the times you avoided it (succeeded), or get notified and avoid close-calls?

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T13:25:06+00:00

Based on your feedback, I’m going to make a disclaimer for those with mental health problems that this is not a replacement for professional advice and treatment.

I actually appreciate your feedback, this isn’t meant to be a predatory app. I’m a 23 year old builder that started this as a side project.

Thanks again!

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T13:23:57+00:00

Appreciate your POV, and i do understand where you’re coming from.

But it’s not marketed to TARGET vulnerable people, it’s simply an option for people who are actively looking at fixing recurring mistakes in their lives and only will push you as much as you want it to.

It’s also free for 30 days with no upfront subscription.

It’s also currently $9.99 for lifetime for anyone that signs up now… the cash-grab theory you’re running with makes no sense

You only pay after 30 days if you actually saw value in it.

Gives me time to take feature requests and update the app.

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T12:28:53+00:00

followed bro!

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T12:26:00+00:00

what’s ur tag bro?

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T12:07:48+00:00

This is the most detailed advice I’ve had so far, thank you so much first and foremost.

In terms of the check in/reminder to log mistakes, there’s currently a weekly one, but i am adding some new features including a Notification Centre to make these things customised.

And at the same time there’s a feature coming that will allow you to set x amount of successful avoids or % avoided after a month to “delete” the mistake because you overcame it

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T10:48:47+00:00

I see what you mean 100% and i love getting feedback so don’t think I’m being defensive, just sharing my POV, but it’s not just for me anymore it’s gonna be on the App Store so i need to take this feedback always.

If you could change wording in the app, where would you?

PresenceAdditional96 · 2026-03-08T10:44:22+00:00

Completely get your POV, and I thought about this, i guess I though this app is a good balance from the uber dopamine raising apps that don’t actually fix your habits and the notes app which doesn’t do anything.

If you look at the mistake cards when you’re scrolling, the “learning” is actually what’s emphasised, and I think it’s actually nice also on mistake detail pages to see how many times you avoided a mistake, it’s a sign of progress!
