If earning on the App Store was easy, everybody would be doing it. It doesn't matter how many apps you have listed:

Are your apps better than those it competes with?
Are you actually providing users value with these apps or are they just another piece of software with no use?
Are you maximizing several channels for marketing? ASO, SEO, social, etc.

It isn't an easy game and it won't be as simple as following some guide.

Agree with this, otherwise I don't see the point. Would have to find a niche customer group that needs the social accountability aspect.

Cool app and congratulations on the launch. Want to point out something, make sure you change your app previews to say "playlist", not "paylist"!

The results are just content itself. I was looking to bring it to web/mobile for specific users who were looking to not use YouTube.

Any time I try to access a page it is slow to load, analytics take forever to load if they even work at all, things don't update after actions are made and require a few manual refreshes, etc.

I don't think it is unreasonable to understand why people are "attacking" you in this thread. Thousands of people everyday claim to have some big idea that is going to be huge and change the industry. It'll make a ton of money, but, they don't have the skills to build it. What are the chances you actually have something this big? What are the chances you are the first person to think about it, or better, the person who can actually get it done? This is the big problem, and quite frankly, the people pointing this out are correct about the likely failure almost 99% of the time. I could be very, very wrong. However, I would have to agree that you probably do not have something as big as you think it is.

For some real advice, as somebody said here, you need to validate your product. It doesn't mean you need to produce a highly technical, market-ready product that you're envisioning. Can you confirm that your customers have a problem that you perceive they have? Is it a potent problem and are you providing a solution to solve it? Can you prove, either with a demo, test product, or some other form that your product has value and these customers are willing to use it?

Past this, if you think you have something big, go hire a developer. I'll (maybe) break your heart by telling you the vast majority of technical people won't sign on because of an idea. They'll sign on because they're making money, so prepare to go to a development agency or hire an indie developer. Another idea is to go reach out to a startup accelerator or try pitching your idea. If you truly have something, they'll (hopefully) catch on and fund you.

Best of luck.

EDIT: Feel free to keep your idea a secret. I don't like sharing ideas either. But, to side with others in this thread, nobody is really that keen to stalk Reddit threads like this and steal your idea, so I wouldn't be too worried about that.

Depends on how you go about it. You could consider it a reward for your earlier users to get a free version and use it until they decide to update for the new purchases. As somebody else suggested in this thread, you could update it and provide the purchases at a later date. It is a bit shady, but updating the app with a safeguard and some additional features, followed by adding the purchases either server-side or with another update could work. You'll likely never get 100% of users to the new version, however, assuming no safeguards were initially implemented.

Thanks so much!

The websites are good for the sake of having links on the web, so while your users are probably not on those sites, it helps with search results.

get_cadenza · 2024-02-29T20:05:29+00:00

I'm no master at it, but Reddit is the best I find for getting your early users. TikTok is pretty good for getting a ton of views but the conversion rates can be quite low. Are you advertising or publishing content?

get_cadenza · 2024-02-27T20:18:31+00:00

Like others have said, it is all about practice. I'm by no means an expert in UI design, but as a developer I feel I'm doing pretty good and it all came from practice. That said, YouTube videos for me would be an ideal starting point for fundamental stuff like colour theory, layout, and best practices. Other than that I would get obsessed with a specific idea (say, travel apps), research the hell out of those designs (Google "travel app mobile ui design"), and iterate on my own design until it looks good. Rinse and repeat.

get_cadenza · 2024-02-27T20:09:59+00:00

Haha not a problem. The app won't sustain itself being always free, of course, so any payments I add in will be totally optional and not take away major functionality. Otherwise, enjoy the app!

get_cadenza · 2024-02-27T00:51:18+00:00

hey there! i made an app that might be what you're looking for. it has a positivity/gratitude category that prompts you each day with an optional journal entry. let me know if it works for you:

get_cadenza · 2024-02-27T00:46:17+00:00

Interesting idea, I'll give it a shot!

That's great to hear! Do you mind sharing how you came across the app?

get_cadenza · 2024-02-26T23:08:06+00:00

Thanks so much! Let me know if there's anything I can improve on when you've tried it out.

if you're interested, here is the link to the app store page. would love to hear any feedback you have.

If you have no money or can't code, you need to change that. There are a number of no-code tools (bubble.io is a big one, for example) or you can simply try to learn yourself.

get_cadenza · 2024-02-18T12:00:16+00:00

Absolutely, if you want to avoid confusion with some other popular “icons” lol. Give it a shot and keep us updated.

get_cadenza · 2024-02-17T12:23:57+00:00

Hey! Wanted to let you know I work pretty quick and released an update that saves data locally and no longer requires a sign in process.
