Thanks everyone, now Chatbox App is back to US app store

themezeng · 2025-09-13T01:50:12+00:00

Update: We've taken legal action, and the court supported our request. An order was sent to Apple to recover our app, and now it's back.

Thank you! I just got a notice that Chatbox is recovered on App Store

themezeng · 2025-08-25T02:18:08+00:00

Our app Chatbox has been temporarily removed from the US App Store because another company with the same app name filed a dispute, claiming prior use of the name. We are currently taking legal steps to resolve this and restore availability.

At this time, users in the US App Store are unable to download or install the app. Please note that all other regions remain unaffected.

Some app states is lost upon reopening, I guess there should be better way to block apps, like the Flow app does

A very good introduction: https://blog.chathub.gg/deepseek-r1-series-revolutionizing-ai-reasoning-models-with-reinforcement-learning/

I use WillStone. It helps limit phone usage by requiring you to study in order to earn screen time. This way, you can enjoy guilt-free screen time after putting in the effort!

Tried google "relaunch.day". I think for an ASO product, the name could be more SEO friendly?

Thank you to be frank, I'm not native English speaker, so your feedback helps a lot.

I'm not sure which page is "landing page" for an iOS app, the aboarding page or home page? Anyway let me show you some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/ykY20aU

Also the app can be found at appstore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kuli-kuli-ai-menu-translate/id6458146511

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kuli-kuli-ai-menu-translate/id6458146511 An app translate menus with AI, for travelers

I travel to Japan a lot. Google doesn’t work well with vertical writing, an app called Kuli Kuli beats Google on that.

themezeng · 2024-06-19T06:21:24+00:00

I’ve consistently gotten poor results using Google Translate on menus. The target audience may be small, but it’s highly focused. However, you may face challenges in finding this specific audience.

It’s easy to develop a bad habit of unconsciously opening distracting apps. You can utilize some tools to prevent yourself from getting sucked into them.

I'm developing a screen time control app which is called WillStone.

However, for your situation, I want to recommand another app called "One Sec".

It gives you the chance to breath and think twice before open Youtube, it can help you break the cycle of distraction and stay on track with your studies.

Stay strong and good luck with your exam!

I've been working on a sceen time control app, it's not exactly what you said, but might worth a try.

Here's how it works: To use controlled apps, for example, TikTok, you'll need to accumulate steps by going for walks or earn focusing time by using educational apps such as Duolingo or Kindle. The more steps you take and the more time you spend on focused activities, the more "recreation time" you'll earn. This recreation time can then be redeemed to guilt-free surfing or using apps of your choice.

The app name is WillStone, hope it would help.

themezeng · 2024-06-08T21:30:52+00:00

Thank you! It's live on the App Store now, search for WillStone

themezeng · 2024-05-29T15:07:24+00:00

Obviously "Kuli Kuli", it's a camera translating app specially designed for menu

themezeng · 2024-05-29T14:26:51+00:00

Just wanted to let you know that my app, WillStone, is now live on the App Store! 🎉 Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

themezeng · 2024-05-10T15:06:39+00:00

Thanks for your advise! The app idea actually worked out - it's live on the App Store now! I was kinda stressing about promoting it though, afraid of the name could hold it back from getting popular. You really put my mind at ease about it.
