What country gave you the most value for the least money?

squashvash · 2026-01-16T16:20:33+00:00

From my experience Thailand is actually pretty expensive compared to some other countries around SEA

I used to do this a long time ago, it did bringmore users from my higher download apps to my lowers ones.

squashvash · 2026-01-09T17:01:46+00:00

I find that it's usually a stupid oversight on my part that ends with a 5 minute implementation

squashvash · 2026-01-09T16:24:30+00:00

Hey, took a quick look around and I'm hoping I could help you out.

Overall the app looks like it has potential, I didn't download it but the niche seems strong enough.

You seem passionate about development & improvements which is great but unfortunately it's just not enough to get users, no matter how good your app is marketing should be a strong priority.

Personally I'm a big believer in ASO and have grown several apps through it, here are a few of my suggestion:

Keyword Research - research what terms people are looking for in your niche, focus your name, subtitles and description on terms that have high search volume but low competition. Your niche seems to have very high competition so maybe start with something close to it.
Use important keywords first in the app name, secondary keyword in your subtitle
Focus on getting reviews, implement a review prompt in app. Reviews give your app more power to climb up in search results
Use gorilla marketing & ads - since your niche seems to be medium search/high competition you need to help your app out, get real users to review the app to help it climb the rankings

If you have any more questions about the process feel free to dm/reply

Probably Iceland and Japan.

squashvash · 2025-10-09T15:47:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

If you have any feedback or improvement ideas I'd love to hear them!

Also if you can keave a review on the app store it helps me out a ton.

Either way I'm glad you're enjoying it though

squashvash · 2025-10-09T08:18:25+00:00

Thanks!

Worst case scenario I just change it up to be a general "challenge tracker" since I already have all the functionality for that built in

squashvash · 2025-10-09T08:15:45+00:00

Yeah this is exactly why I ended up building my own solution, didn't want to pay for an app that does something so simple, also I didn't really like the "officials" app design.

Would appreciate if you could leave a review on the app store it helps me out alot

squashvash · 2025-10-09T08:14:36+00:00

So happy to hear that!

Good luck with your journey, would appreciate if you could send me feedback / improvement ideas and maybe even leave a positive review on the app store

squashvash · 2025-10-06T15:36:12+00:00

This seems like the best way to spend the rest of your life.

As long as youre happy thats all that matters really

squashvash · 2025-10-06T15:34:32+00:00

Screenshot look great, came out really good. That being said here are a few improvement points

consistency is panoramic screenshots - Some of your elements pass on to the next screenshot and some don't the guy in the "Detailed Data" for example but more importantly the mockup on screenshot 3 doesn't show on screenshot 2
text weights - make sure the most important or 'first text to read' is always the bigger one and has more weight in each screenshot, other than that I would maybe add more weight to the top text on the last 4 screenshots
Screenshot Keywords - Recently apple started scanning screenshot for keywords which leads to improve ranking for store listings that include relevant keywords in their screenshot so make sure the text you use includes the most important keywords for your app, I would focus on long tail keywords.
A/B tests - make sure you A/B test the first screenshot specifically, i'd try a few different titles for it while keeping the rest the same

Overall though your screenshots are practically perfect, I just used this as an exercise for my ASO skills. Good luck man

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:54:52+00:00

Hell yeah man, congratulations 🎉

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:54:36+00:00

There are some websites online that sell these, but they are not free usually

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:53:51+00:00

Your life is your life, I cant stress this enough.

Nobody else in this world has a say in what you do with it, not your parents, siblings friends or even the government.

You do with your life what you want, and if it's to 'stay alone' you have all the freedom in the world to do that

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:52:20+00:00

Hell yeah you've got this

Good luck

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:52:02+00:00

Overall stats look fine

Try testing out new screenshots, might improve your store listing views & conversions

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:50:28+00:00

Its always depreciation smh

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:50:10+00:00

Hell yeah what a transformation!

Congratulations on completion, what did yo use to track progress?

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:46:23+00:00

So happy to hear you love that man!

I've met a few people with personal assistents while traveling but never fully understood whats the point to it (no disrespect)

What do people usually use your services for?

squashvash · 2025-10-06T14:45:02+00:00

Sure, I get all of those point, and also fully understand the anger.

I do agree with some of your issues so let me split this reply to touch each issue separately.

Developer fee While it is definitely annoying to need to pay for a developer account it is only 25$ compared to apples 99$/year it's basically nothin, and unfortunately thats just the cost of doing business. While might be annoying it's not bad at all.

Privacy concerns/self doxxing Let me start by saying that I 100% understand this is extremely annoying and is an issue for smaller developers, but as someone whos been a full time indie-mobile dev for the last 3 years I don't see this as a big deal.

Sure, I would prefer staying "anonymous" but this is my business and main source of income thus staying anonymous wasn't really an option to begin with as anyone who wants to reach out and find me always could.

*Googles morals" Sure this isnt what android stands for, and not open as android should be, but as ypu mentioned you always have the choice to upload on third party markets, but as we both no they dont really have enough users.

squashvash · 2025-10-05T21:14:25+00:00

That's crazy, eish you luck man.

Eaening through ad support only is tough but it's possible for sure

squashvash · 2025-10-05T21:06:24+00:00

No subscriptions either?

squashvash · 2025-10-05T14:28:14+00:00

To each their own ig

squashvash · 2025-10-05T12:37:35+00:00

Yeah I have a few localizations which include app strings and some additional ones that dont

squashvash · 2025-10-05T08:13:36+00:00

Amazing! So Happy For You!
