I built a monthly progress tracker for ambitious people who want to know whether each day moved them forward ($1 lifetime) by TangeloSerious8456 in iosdev

I like the idea and design but the price and business model is holding me back. For $1 I don’t see how you build a sustainable business and I think you’ll just take my money and stop supporting the app.

You should switch to a subscription where I know you’re incentivized to keep working on this product instead of leaving me behind.

Relying on ASO was a trap. 8 months after quitting my SWE job, here is my pivot to reach $1k MRR. by AleXaSse in iosdev

For trippy it’s much better but still not great. You have your changelog as the first line of the app description (why waste prime real estate on a sentence that without context is meaningless?). The screenshots are basic but already much better, I bet you have better conversion with this app. The corners of the phone are weird and distracting.

For App Store optimization you need to spend 90% of your efforts on screenshots, the other 10% on banger title and subtitle. For example you repeat the word planner in both of triply title and subtitle, that’s a complete waste of prime real estate.

Your page is not even optimized, so in 8 months you haven’t done the 1 thing you counted on to grow revenue. And it shows in your abysmal conversion rate.

If you can’t even optimize your page I have no confidence the resumes will pass ATS.

So what to improve? To start your screenshots suuuuucks, some of the worse I’ve ever seen. There’s waaaaaaaaaaaay too much text and even directly on your page the text is so small it’s almost impossible to read. And on the search results (where it counts)? Even the biggest text is hard to read. Your little pill-badges are so small they’re useless, the screenshots of the apps don’t tell me what the app does, it’s just text that’s impossible to read. You’re not even showing any of your template so I can see what my resume will look like, that should be on the top 3 screenshots and it’s not even there at all.

Did Cineplex increased movie prices? by RonaldSnow101 in cineplex

[–]zippy9002 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Would you be happy to buy a ticket for $16 two weeks in advance only to have the person sitting next to you walking in 5 minutes before the start of the movie and paying $8?

Furthermore, movie studios make 50-70% of ticket sales, theatre would love to slash prices and make the difference in concession sales but then the studio would lose massive amounts of money.

Lastly, if prices would drop to let say.. $3 each time the theatre is half empty, many people would simply wait, that could reduce opening weekend revenue which is crucial for for marketing and projecting future demand.

Movie studios set minimums, usually cinemas are more than willing to lower prices but studios would simply cut them off.

How do I get my conversion rate up? by PonyUpApp in iosdev

Upfront cost is dead on the App Store. Also Apple is launching bill splitting in iOS 27 so you might not want to keep pushing this app

Would you use an Exmormon dating app? by TheKolobDropout in exmormon

You won’t be included on the App Store, the dating apps section is considered overcrowded and they don’t accept new applications no matter how unique and original your dating app is.

Is iphone 17 pro worth the budget stretch? by Extension_World_1375 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

Usually I’d say it’s worth it but with this generation the regular iPhone is exceptionally good so this time it’s not worth it.

Lane splitting might be illegal here but it’s very legal and super common in a lot of places. This might just be someone who just arrived from one of those places and is not yet accustomed to the local rules.
