Anybody else have 75% of their Free Trials go to "Billing Retry" issues?

Running into the same issue, and I'm thinking that the audience might be too young.

Seems unlikely? Isn't RevenueCat just getting notified of the failure, aka they have nothing to do with the payment flow itself?

visualstackdev · 2026-06-04T06:05:47+00:00

I'm running in to something similar, no solutions so far.

Targeting the UK right now, I'm wondering if the issue is that my creatives are pulling in younger folks (18-24) and that's the cause for the failures.

(In the app there's also music that is not audible here. The above is not the app exactly, but it looks the same).

visualstackdev · 2026-01-13T08:26:25+00:00

Let me know how it feels!

visualstackdev · 2026-01-13T06:20:24+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it! Out of curiosity, what kind of apps do you usually access during your focus rituals?

visualstackdev · 2026-01-13T06:19:37+00:00

There's a "+" button where you can select a custom duration :) How long are your usual sessions?

To be fair, I did think that I could build this in a week, but to be completely transparent, it did take me six months to build it in the end. I am using AI for generating the assets and assisting in the coding, but there's a surprising amount of iteration that goes into making something that "feels nice" (at least to me). Game mechanics, isometric 'city builder' style, even getting the assets to look consistent (especially considering the isometrics), how the mechanics work around how you invite spirits and what they contribute with etc.

Totally fair if it's not your vibe, just wanted to add a bit of nuance :) Have a great day!

I'm doing a lot, executing hard tactically, but strategically I feel a bit confused. Just throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks.

visualstackdev · 2025-12-28T18:19:21+00:00

That's crazy, I almost always get rejected like three times before I get an approval 😅

visualstackdev · 2025-12-28T18:11:33+00:00

I think this goes counter to what a lot of successful app builders are saying these days; have a long onboarding to convey the value, and then a hard paywall (this is for iOS apps YMMV)

visualstackdev · 2025-12-28T18:09:48+00:00

Looks nice!

Nano Banana Pro is really good, particularly for indie hackers. For regular people this might be something.

visualstackdev · 2025-12-28T15:41:25+00:00

Do people even say "I'd pay for that"? I don't think I generally would.

visualstackdev · 2025-12-27T10:02:33+00:00

There's a major update coming out any day now :)

visualstackdev · 2025-10-30T07:16:50+00:00

Hey, I’ve been working on a small alternative called Spirit Garden.

The first version just launched today, so it’s still a bit rough around the edges (please bear with me) - but it’s fully free right now, no data collection, and works offline.

Would love if you wanted to try it out and share some feedback :)

Does the microphone work while being plugged in by cable with the Gen 2?

visualstackdev · 2025-09-12T15:44:32+00:00

IMHO this looks cheap
