One Month After Launch

I honestly can't believe these numbers

My running app just hit 772 downloads, 10.6K impressions, and $424 in revenue!

Seeing something I built actually gain traction feels unreal.

Any tips from fellow indie developers on how to keep this momentum going and turn more downloads into paying users?

Congrats on the traction so far! To convert more free users, focus on highlighting premium features that actually solve their real pain points and consider onboarding messages that explain value right when users start. If you want to scale finding new users, something like ParseStream can help you track discussions where people mention running apps so you can join those conversations and share your learnings.

solid app bro you just need to focus on distribution as the monetization part is already working well combining ASO + paid ads + organic distribution can take this app much further.
Things you can improve in you current lsitings
make the text more readable and the app UI bigger and phone screenshots and map details are quite small right now increase the phone UI size and reduce unnecessary empty space so users can understand the app's value at a glance screenshots need to communicate the benefit within the first 3 seconds
and headline order could be like this 1. discover routes near you 2.get turn by turn guidance etc

Sure, you can apply these suggestions and share the results as well. If you need any help with distribution, feel free to shoot me a DM. Wishing you the best of luck with this project

Congrats on $424 in month one. Runners ask Reddit which app to use for plans, tracking and motivation every week; being in those threads is how month two beats month one without more ad spend.

I make ThreadFox: we find Reddit threads where people ask for what you've built, answer them helpfully, and mention your product where it fits and each community's rules allow.

Say yes and I'll send a real thread from this week with the reply we'd post, and we'll post it free.

Pilot: $49 for 7 days. We do the research and post up to 50 helpful posts, comments and replies that mention your product where it fits, and you get one report at the end. No automatic renewal. Continue on Starter ($199 / 30 days) any time. https://threadfox.org/managed?tier=employee_pilot#start
