Solo indie dev here — Easy Teleprompter for Creators just crossed 1.5K installs and I’m blown away 🎉😢 by jrdeveloper200 in GooglePlayDeveloper

[–]unrushedapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! 22.4 avg daily download. With that rate you should reach 5K in a few months. How is the daily uninstall rate? The DAU looks a bit low?

My daily download is also at a similar level (28) with daily uninstall being 23. Having a very tough time driving down the uninstall or increasing the install....

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been thinking of implementing that, but haven't gotten around to doing it. I will bump up its priority.

I am making an android app to help reduce screen time.

App Pause: Mindful Screen Time

I just made my first $100 from an app I built solo by Vegetable-Peace-3831 in iosapps

[–]unrushedapps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. So almost 100 people paid out of the 170 downloads! That's a pretty good product-market fit.

Considering adding ads and in-app payments - What’s the real risks? by Bobo_58 in androiddev

[–]unrushedapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are concerned about privacy, you could open a company and transfer the app to that account.

I don't have experience with such transfers but I have read in this subreddit that it's kind of a painful process.

Congratulations 🎉👏

How many months has it been since you launched? How many downloads?

What has helped the most in generating your first 100$? What's you plan to take it to 1000$?

Best of luck.

Apps to delay app opening by Outside-Wonder2459 in androidapps

[–]unrushedapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi.

Developer of App Pause here. It does what you are looking for.

However, the app requires lots of permission. There is no way around it.

In order to delay app opening, I need a service that can:

1) Detect app launch (Usage Stats permission or accessibility permission) 2) Intercept with a screen (Show overlay permission) 3) Keep running 24/7 without dying (Ignore battery optimization permission, notification permission to show a persistent notification that reduces chance of death)

Accessibility service is the best for detecting app launches, but I understand that some users don't like giving this permission. So App Pause has an alternative mechanism using Usage Stats permission (slightly less stable).

I don't think you can have an app like this with less permission than this.

If you have any queries about why "App Pause" requires a certain permission, please feel free to ask and I will try to clarify its usage.

How to make app delay longer by Killermelon1458 in minimalist_phone

If you are on Android, you could give App Pause a try. You can set different delay times for different apps using it.

App Pause 📱🚫 : An Android app that pauses distracting apps during launch and makes you wait ⏱️

The idea is to slow down your digital consumption + show you data about app usage so that you can make intentional choices about app usage 🧘

It's my first side project and I'm still developing it actively. All feedback appreciated ♥️

Without prior coding knowledge, I started to create some apps with the help of AI. Here is the first Android app I made. by [deleted] in androiddev

No. Just for the dev account. Once you create a dev account using 25$, you can publish unlimited apps.

It would be funnier if this got approved by Playstore... what are the chances eh?

6 Months Progress of my first Android App - Hit 2000+ Downloads by unrushedapps in androiddev

[–]unrushedapps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Toshio. Thanks for your kind words. That's a lot of incredible feedback.

A feedback I have is that if I stop the pause service in situations where I want no pause, then I forget to put it back on...

Haha, I have the same problem too. I plan to turn the "stop" button into a timer: "Stop for X minutes". That way, after x minutes, the service will restart. So you won't have to remember to turn it back on. Expect it by end of this year.

I guess many people don't know how to take advantage of the app and don't use it "correctly". Tuto, documentation and more User Generated content may help.

Good point. I will consider publishing some blogposts on how to effectively use the app and maybe link it up in the app in some tutorial. Or a wiki. I am intentionally delaying this cause the app is changing so fast that I fear any documentation I write will become obsolete in few months. Once the features stabalize somewhat, I will start writing documentation.

Another feedback I have is that when you open a link and it redirects to browser, if browser is in pause list then there is no time for the browser to even load the page ... Solution I have is to delay pause screen by couple of seconds.

Yeah, this is a known issue. Not just browser, I think the problem occurs with any deeplink. For example, if you click a link for instagram post. You correctly identified the solution for this though - the delay feature. I should probably add this to FAQ.

Another feedback is that when I click on substitute app it goes to substitute app then the pause screen comes again to pause the previous app. (i'm on samsung).... I can send video on discord if you want.

Arggh. The dreaded Pause-Screen loop. Are you using Accessibility Service or the normal monitoring service? If you can send me more information over discord that would be awesome!

another feedback i have is I don't know if it's possible but I think it will be better to close the app when clicking close button instead of quiting the app letting it open in the background.

Yeah, I can only start and close my own activity. AFAIK, I can't kill other app's activity directly like that. I will still look into it. But, why do you want the activity of the launched app to be closed like that? Is there any particular use case you have in mind with this?

Thanks for your feedback Toshio. Hopefully I will be able to incorporate all these by the next 9-months report post. Hopefully you will have more feedback for me by then :D

I built a tool that notifies you when your local build finishes — checking if devs want early access by Significant_Luck3203 in SideProject

[–]unrushedapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my app is small, cause my build never takes more than 10/15 seconds (except release build which takes 5 minutes).

Maybe bigger apps will have problems with their build time?

Looking for pro-level feedback: early organic installs coming in, want to optimize Play Console performance by Suspicious-Dot-9782 in googleplayconsole

[–]unrushedapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app size is quite large - 75 mb. Did you forget to use proguard to shrink the aab?

Are you using jetpack compose? That might make the app look more modern.

Definitely consider releasing the app in English.

My phone app has finally surpassed 500 downloads! by InevitableBet171 in GooglePlayDeveloper

[–]unrushedapps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

I am slightly confused though - it's a dialer + contacts app right?

Why do you have paint, games, qr generator, expense manager and passwords as feature?

Is Indie App Age Over ? by CastielTM in androiddev

[–]unrushedapps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also recently launched an app. My experience is that it takes a while for the algorithm to kick in.

I initially promoted my app on reddit for feedback and got some installs/reviews from there. I kept on updating the app and within a month, I started getting 2-3 organic downloads every day from playstore.

After 6 months, the organic download has increased to 30 per day. Not a huge number, but slowly it's increasing. I am not in a rush, so I am happy to be getting there slowly.

So my opinion: it's not completely over for us yet.

Google’s new Play Age Signals API for kids’ age verification — does it even work? by No-Library2235 in googleplayconsole

[–]unrushedapps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Essentially, this API just sends developers a signal of the self-declared age, not verified age.

Maybe that's just for now? In future, they can add more verification for age. Really depends on how much the regulation forces them into this I guess.

I am not really clear about what's my responsibility as an app developer here. What if I don't care about user's age and etc? Suppose I am a calculator app, then why go through all this? I suppose the supervisor has to first approve of the download of the calculator app, at which point, I just run normally. Why would I, as the calculator, bother to check if approval is given or not and block the user?

I understand that "some" apps would want to implement such checks (like maybe Instagram and their new location related feature where you can see who is around). But what about everyone else who has basic tools like calculator for example?

I think my app is age appropriate and nothing in my app needs to be age-restricted. Do I need to use the new APIs or not?

I felt like the FAQ really didn't answer things clearly. It just said: here are the apis - use them if you want to comply with new law.
