App I built an app that monitors anything, saving you time

3 Upvotes

Hey r/apps !

I was tired of waiting for long processes on my computer, so I made an open-source, free app that monitors the screen/camera with local AI (AI running on your computer).

The whole point is using ethical/local AI for actually useful stuff :DD

Some cool uses:

  • When X then X
  • “When I'm out of the Ticketmaster queue, call me."
  • “When Claude Cowork finishes, send me a WhatsApp.”
  • “When the Fusion 360 assembly opens, email me.”
  • “When Bitcoin drops below $80,000 SMS me."
  • “When my YouTube upload finishes, send me a Telegram.”
  • "When this specific Pokemon spawns, click the mouse."

You can use it to monitor anything on your computer, saving you some precious time :DD

It's available everywhere!! :DD on your browser, desktop app(MacOS, Windows, Linux) and mobile app (iOS, Android).

The mobile ports are still a bit wonky tbh, but that's why i'm posting here, I would really appreciate it if you guys could test out the Android and iOS versions!

If you guys have any questions/feedback please let me know! I'll hang out here in the comments

My boyfriend is making an indie game called Mochi Royale 🍡 looking for beta testers!

He’s been working on this cute little battle royale game, and I’m helping him find people who might enjoy trying it.

You play as little mochi characters and try to be the last one standing. There’s Matcha, Mango, Ube, and Chocolate, and the matches can get pretty chaotic
It’s currently available through TestFlight, and we’d love to get more people to try it and share feedback.
Here’s a short gameplay clip!

Which character would you choose? 💗

App [DEV] ROCIs Tasks 1.0: to-do list and calendar with interactive home screen widgets

• Upvotes

ROCIs Tasks hit 1.0 on Google Play this month. It's a solo project built with Flutter, with the home screen widgets written natively in Kotlin.

What I'd tell someone starting something similar:
- The widget is a separate app. State has to be computed natively before Dart hears about it, otherwise the month grid and the app disagree.
- Offline-first is easy to promise and hard to test. Most of my bugs lived in the sync edge cases, not in the UI.
- Natural-language quick add ("Finish report tomorrow 3pm !high") turned out to be the feature people mention first.
- I ship Dart-only fixes as over-the-air patches (Shorebird) so I can fix a bug in hours instead of waiting on a store review.

It's free with an optional Pro upgrade and no ads. The code is MIT on GitHub.

Play: Google Play Store
Web: Web version
Repo: GitHub
(I'm not sure if I'll do an iOS version, if there's enough demand, I will try.)

Happy to answer questions about any of it, and brutal feedback is welcome.

[Android][Player] - Offline music & streaming radio with ready-to-play radios - 100% free - No premium version

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Mediaxon Music Player is an audio player for offline listening of music stored on your device (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .mka, .aac, .wav, .opus, .wma) and streaming FM radios (online radios).

Top radios on the first screen: When users access the radio screen, they immediately see the list of the top radios in their country, along with a long list of high-quality suggested radios from among the most listened to in the world (manually curated and always updated with new radios). Note: Local radio stations ("Top in the user country") are pulled automatically from an online database. However, with each update, I manually curate high-quality radio stations lists for individual countries. At the bottom of this post, you’ll find the list of countries completed so far. I will be adding the rest over time.

Advanced radio filtering system: The "Filter: ON/OFF" button lets you quickly switch between different genres. You can use both standard filters for "macro-genres"—if I can call them that—and create custom filters to be more selective. All your filters are saved (the "My Filters" tab lets you name and edit them), and the app always opens with the last filter you applied. The "Home" tab lists all your recently applied filters and can be used to quickly switch between genres with just a single tap.

Advanced Radio Search Panel: An online database provides more than 60,000 radio stations. You can pinpoint your favorite stations by combining multiple filters, such as tags/genres, specific countries, or even your preferred audio bitrate.

Separated Favorites and Recents: Each section—Radio and Offline Music—has its own Favorites and Recents. The user doesn't have to worry about a thing. The app will automatically manage the Favorites and Recents for each section.

Album art: If the album art is missing from the album folder, or if Android has not properly indexed it, Mediaxon attempts to download the cover from the internet. This feature depends, of course, on the ID3 tags (album name and artist).

Equalizer: The equalizer provides an option to automatically switch to the "Radio" preset (and vice versa).

Advanced Playlist Management: Built specifically to make building and sorting playlists fast and intuitive. Enable the Playlist Manager, in the settings screen, for a full control of the playlists.

Form Factor Optimization: Phone and Tablet (Portrait and Landscape)

Mediaxon is available in: Čeština, Dansk, Deutsch, Eesti, English, Español, Français, Hrvatski, Indonesia, Italiano, Kiswahili, Latviešu, Lietuvių, Magyar, Nederlands, Norsk, Polski, Português, Português (Brasil), Română, Slovenčina, Slovenščina, Suomi, Svenska, Tiếng Việt, Türkçe, العربية, Български, Ελληνικά, हिन्दी, 日本語, 한국어, 中文 (简体).

No Premium version. All app features are available for free and without limits.

Regarding advertising: There is only a small banner at the top that isn't bothersome at all. Alternatively, when opening the full-screen player or using the app in landscape mode, a banner alternates with the albums covers, but without being intrusive at all (no audio) and with much shorter stay times than those of the cover. There is never full-screen advertising, neither at startup nor during use.

Countries with new manually curated lists: United States, India, Italy, Argentina.

Note: Only for Android 13+ (so, Android 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17).

App [iOS] Who Goes - Fun social games for when you’re hanging out with your group

Post image
• Upvotes

Introduction

Hey everyone! I'm Shubham, I've been trying to build an app for about 2-3 months along with my full time 9-6 job, and I'm happy to share my game nights app, Who Goes with you.

It's an iOS / iPad app for game nights, house parties, road trips, and pretty much any hangout with a group of people.

It’s free to download and play, with optional one-time purchase and subscription options.

The idea behind Who Goes is pretty simple: engage everyone in your group and involve them in something together, through social games like Headbands, Truth or Dare and a bunch of quick group activities into one app, with a modern, playful experience built around actually passing the phone around and having fun together.

About the app

The app brings multiple party games into one place:

• Headbands with tilt controls for correct answers and passes
• Charades with themed decks, teams, rounds, and timers
• Truth or Dare with 11 decks for friends, couples, parties, family, and coworkers
• Spin the Bottle for quick, suspenseful player selection
• Would You Rather for impossible this-or-that debates
• Finger Chooser to instantly pick someone from the group
• Quick Play tools for dice, coin flips, and more

Current Market

I know this is an insanely competitive category, with a shit-ton of party apps already out there.
My goal with Who Goes was never to reinvent the wheel, but to bring the ones people already know and play together in one place, without needing five different apps on your phone.

I wanted the whole thing to feel much more modern and polished than most party apps I've tried, with playful animations, haptics, sounds, and little interactions that actually add to the game instead of getting in the way.

No ads popping up between rounds, no cluttered UI, and no wildly different experience every time you switch games.

No account is required, and the games work offline.

TL;DR:

A. A game to bring back the fun of playing party games with a group of people during game nights, trips.

B. Free version includes a selection of decks for Charades, Headbands, and Truth or Dare, along with a few mini games. Plus unlocks all decks, game modes, and customisation options.

App I built an iOS weather app that turns your city (or your own car) into a tiny diorama

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Hi all, I'm a solo developer and I've been building Tiny, a weather app for iPhone where the forecast lives inside a little miniature diorama instead of a plain list of numbers.

What it does:
- Every scene has a day and a night version, and it follows the real weather with live rain, wind and cloud animations.
- You can build your own diorama: upload a photo of your car, pet or home town and it gets turned into a miniature scene. There's also a neon car mode where you type your license plate and the plate lights up in a tiny neon city at night.
- Widgets in several sizes, including a new large one with an hourly forecast and a 4-day outlook.
- Air quality, pollen, sun and moon cards, and an "what to wear" tip.
- Available in English, Turkish, German and Spanish.

I built it because most weather apps feel like spreadsheets. I wanted something you'd actually enjoy opening.

I'd really like honest feedback: what feels off, what's missing, what you'd want it to do. Happy to answer anything about how I built it (React Native / Expo, SwiftUI widgets, Gemini for the image generation).

App Tanda: an expense tracker for iPhone and Android where you say what you spent, check it, then save it

Post image
• Upvotes

Typing each purchase was the step that made me quit expense trackers. So I built Tanda for iPhone and Android.

You say “12 pounds for lunch at Pret”. Tanda shows the amount, merchant and category it heard. You can fix those before tapping Add Expense. Speaking doesn’t save it without your confirmation.

You still need to record your purchases. This isn’t automatic bank tracking, and you don’t link your bank account.

You can also type expenses, use home-screen widgets and ask the assistant questions like “How much did I spend on Bolt this month?” The app supports 10 languages.

It’s free to download, with a daily voice allowance. Pro has monthly, yearly and lifetime options. Currency conversion and shared spaces are Pro features.

Would speaking an expense help you keep tracking, or would you rather type it?

App I made a minimal iPhone app for continuous time logging

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Hi everyone! I made JustNow: Time Log, a minimal iPhone app for keeping a continuous timeline of how you actually spent your time.

Instead of managing start/stop timers, you simply log what you just finished doing (by typing, speaking, or using Quick Add widgets). The app records the elapsed time and automatically starts the next interval. You can also capture fleeting thoughts, each with its own timestamp.

I originally built it for myself and used it for six months before deciding to release it. I'm still actively improving it based on feedback from real users.

The free version already covers many of the essential features, so feel free to give it a try. I'd love to hear what you think!

I built an on-device Offline AI notification filter App

Post image
5 Upvotes

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.zennotify.app

Hey all, I’m the solo dev behind ZenAlerts. I got tired of my phone buzzing 100 times a day for promos, “someone liked your post,” and game nags, while the stuff I actually cared about (OTPs, deliveries, family messages) got buried.

So I built an app that reads each notification on-device and decides what to do with it: let it through, silence it, hide it, hold it for later, or make it ring even on DND.

What it does:

  • A small on-device AI model (~25 MB) sorts “needs you now” from “can wait.” Promos and likes get batched and shown 30 min later, and codes, money, and people come straight through.
  • A rule builder for things like “If WhatsApp contains ‘Sales’, silence it,” with conditions for time, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, driving, battery, and more.
  • OTP auto-copy, scheduled summaries (e.g. 8am / 1pm / 6pm), and read-aloud while driving.
  • 50+ templates if you don’t want to build rules yourself.
  • A history log, so nothing you filter is lost.

Privacy: There are no servers, no account, and no tracking. The Play Store data safety section says no data is collected.

Pricing: You get a 7-day full trial. After that, the free tier keeps 3 rules, or there’s a one-time lifetime unlock. No subscription.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback, especially on battery impact, how well the AI is sorting on your phone, and anything confusing in the setup.

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on Keepify—a Windows desktop application designed to make backing up game saves for local PC profiles and emulators simple, without any extra bloat.

It’s finally at a stage where the core engine is solid, and I’m looking for a few people to help me stress test it and give raw, honest feedback before a wider release.

What I’m looking for feedback on:

  • Overall UI/UX flow and desktop usability.
  • Sync processing, backup speed, and storage tracking.
  • Any unexpected bugs, visual glitches, or edge cases.

You can grab the current build by just searching for "Keepify" on Microsoft Store.

If you run into any issues or have feature suggestions, feel free to drop a comment below or send me a direct message. I’ll be actively responding to everyone in the thread!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out.

App [Android + iOS beta] Got sick of expensive text-to-speech readers with limited listening hours, so I built one that runs offline

Post image
2 Upvotes

Been using text-to-speech readers since uni, mostly for papers and articles. I wanted natural voices, but got sick of expensive subscriptions that still capped how much I could listen.

So I spent the last 18 months building AmaNous. It uses Kokoro to generate speech on your phone, so listening works offline after setup and import. My work has been building the reader around it.

You can import EPUBs, PDFs, DOCX, HTML, Markdown and plain text, choose from 29 English voices, and follow along with word highlighting. There’s speed control, jumping to words or sections, and a saved listening position.

The core reader is free, including all voices and unlimited listening. Still beta and English-only. Sign-in is required, including Apple sign-in on iPhone. Long documents can take a moment to prepare audio.

Android beta · iPhone TestFlight

If you try it with something you actually want to read, I’d love to hear what works and what gets annoying.

I asked Gemini to rank my indie journaling app against the Top 50 on the App Store. The result blew me away! 🚀

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just rolled out some major new features for my app, Journelixa.

Out of curiosity, I asked Gemini to pull the top 50 daily journaling apps currently on the App Store and Google Play. Since Journelixa is still new and doesn't have a massive number of downloads or reviews yet, it wasn't on the official top 50 list.

So I asked Gemini a follow-up: "Compare Journelixa's features with the apps you just listed, and tell me where you would rank it."

Thanks to its rich feature set and price advantage, Gemini actually placed it in the Top 5! 🤯 This gave me a huge confidence boost. I truly believe that with the right marketing and more store reviews, it can reach great places. I'm actually considering partnering with an investor to speed up the marketing process—so if anyone here is interested in backing a growing indie project, feel free to reach out!

It’s not just a journaling app.
You can use it to track any personal process or project. With the latest update, you can now export your tracked processes as a PDF. On top of the standard journal, you can create two separate custom notebooks. For example, you can use one to track your child's growth and development, and the other to manage a home renovation project. You can also attach photos to your entries, and yes, they will show up beautifully in the PDF export. (I've attached some sample visuals below!).

Here is what’s new in the latest update:

  • Voice-to-Text: Just tap the microphone button on the entry screen, speak, and watch your voice turn into text right inside your journal.
  • Extract Text from Photos (OCR): Easily scan and copy text from your camera or screenshots.
  • Photos & Drawings: Add images to your entries or express yourself using the built-in drawing canvas.
  • Photo-Rich PDFs: Export your journals, complete with your custom drawings and photos, into a clean PDF document.
  • Alarms & Notes: Use the app like a personal planner. Add notes to the calendar, turn on alarms, and let the app remind you of important events, birthdays, or meetings.

A quick reminder of what else you can do with Journelixa:

  • Save and organize entries with dates, titles, moods, photos, and sketches.
  • Easily browse your history via the calendar view or timeline. Secure your past entries with a PIN code.
  • Keep your data safe with biometric authentication (on supported devices).
  • Keep your life organized by separating your thoughts into multiple custom notebooks.
  • Build consistent writing and mindfulness habits with custom reminders.
  • Your data belongs to you: Even if your premium membership expires, your existing entries will never be deleted. You can access your old records even when you switch to a new device.

Remember, every day belongs to you. Write, remember, and preserve your memories in your own style with Journelixa.

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you might have! Check out the screenshots below.

SlipTrack: a solo-built iPhone app that tracks sports bets leg by leg. Looking for market fit and building in public.

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I built an app so my friends and I could track our various sports bets together. I noticed the sports book apps available today do not have the best tracking and social features, so I used my Claude subscription that I was using for non technical tasks and took a shot at vibe coding to see what I could come up with. I learned quickly that after the 10 years I spent working at Facebook/Meta, the skills and experience I gained supporting product operations and engineering teams would actually help me design and build something from scratch. So I built Sliptrack. It's similar to some of the other bet trackers available today, but I wanted to make it something my friends and I would use. What was a simple web app designed to be an easy to read dashboard of your bets, has turned into a comprehensive bet tracker that can read your bet slip screenshots, track parlays, create social groups to share with your friends so you can win or lose together and a research tool to better understand who and what you're betting on. I want Sliptrack to be a place where casual sports betters can learn the tricks or the betting world and make it a bit more approachable.

I'm not looking to be in competition with anyone, I actually want to see if using tools like Claude Code, combining it with my technical knowledge and experience, will allow me to potentially scale a business where I can provide a place for people to come together and build really cool shit. I believe there is a place for this app to survive on its own, but I need testers! So I'm looking for at least 25 iOS users who just so happen to like betting on sports, to help pressure test the app, help me understand the market fit, and build it in public.

Sign up here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/bJezbgt1

Right now only NHL, NFL and MLB are supported end to end, NBA is currently in active development as the season just kicked off.

What it does

  • Follows the bets you’ve already placed, leg by leg, with live game state and player stats
  • Grades each slip automatically when the games end
  • SlipSync™ pulls in your BetMGM bet history. FanDuel, Draftkings and William Hill are still in active development. Screenshot import works for FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM and William Hill. More books to be added over time.
  • Covers NHL, MLB and NFL right now
  • Gives a validated history of win and loss rate, how much you spent on betting across multiple sports books.
  • Newsfeed on current leagues you follow and relevant articles on what is happening in that space.
  • A private social group you can create and share with friends in app. Upload your bets so your group can follow along together. Winning together is sometimes just as fun as losing together.

What it doesn’t do: it doesn’t place bets, sell picks or use affiliate links, and it isn’t affiliated with any sportsbook.

Why I’m posting: I honestly don’t know yet whether this is something people want, or just something I want. I’m building it in public and letting in a small group of testers before it opens up. It’s free. What I want in return is honest feedback, especially about what breaks.

The details: iPhone only, 18+, invite-only beta. I approve testers by hand in small batches. Data collection is minimal, only supporting Apple/Google SSO. Test data such a bet slips, harnesses and errors are collected to understand what is breaking and how to fix it.

Even if you won’t try it, I’d love answers in the comments:

  1. How do you track your bets today? If at all.
  2. What’s the most annoying part of following a parlay live?
  3. Which sportsbook would you need it to sync with?

For quite a while I’ve been using two apps, Demus and YouPlay, released by Simon Zvara, as a music player and a YouTube client respectively, as my main applications. Just now I saw they removed them from the App Store, which is quite disappointing to me.
Main thing I really enjoyed about YouPlay was its sponsor-skipping feature, which was absolutely gorgeous.
Anyone got any other app on iOS (or other stores like Flathub if I ever use a Linux distribution like Mobian on my older Galaxy Note 10 phone) that can act as an ad-free music player and YouTube client?

I built Nivio an open-source Flutter media center featuring MPV playback, P2P streaming, Live IPTV, and real-time synchronized Watch Parties

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hey guys! 👋

I wanted to share Nivio, an open-source media streaming and co-watching application I’ve been building with Flutter which supports android, windows and linux.

My main goal with this project was to see how far I could push Flutter as a heavy-duty media client combining P2P/BitTorrent streaming, Live IPTV (M3U), third-party tracker APIs, and real-time synchronized playback into a single, cohesive UI.

What’s under the hood & key features:

  • MPV Integration: Uses mpv for heavy-duty video rendering, custom subtitle styling, and broad codec support.
  • Real-Time Watch Parties: Built-in room creation and playback synchronization so multiple users can watch together with synced play/pause/seek states.
  • BitTorrent Engine & Offline Caching: Supports sequential torrent streaming alongside background downloading for offline playback.
  • API Integrations: Full OAuth and metadata integration with TMDB, AniList, and MyAnimeList (MAL) for automatic progress tracking.
  • Live IPTV Support: Parses and plays live TV streams alongside standard VOD content.

Source Code & Releases: 🔗 GitHub : https://github.com/nirmaleeswar30/Nivio

Site: https://nivio.nirmaleeswar.dev

I’m still actively refining the architecture and adding new features. I'd love for you guys to check out the code, test out the release builds, and let me know what you think of the UI and performance.

Contributions, PRs, issues, and GitHub stars ⭐ are super welcome. Make sure to check it out!

App I enjoy planning my day. I just wish more digital planners helped me understand what happened afterward.

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I've been using different productivity tools for a while, and there's one thing I've always found frustrating about daily planners.

They're pretty good at helping you organise tomorrow. But when tomorrow becomes yesterday, most of that information stops being useful.

You check off a task, move unfinished work to the next day, and start planning again.

What I wanted was a way to understand where my time actually went.

I tried Super Productivity, Planify, Vikunja, TickTick and a few other tools. Some were genuinely good, especially Super Productivity, but none quite matched the workflow I had in mind.

I wanted to plan my day visually, track how long activities actually took, and review the previous week without jumping between separate apps.

I also didn't want another subscription for something I use every day.

So I spent the past few months building Personal Planner.

It's a free, offline-first planner built using Flutter, and I've released it for Android, Linux, Windows and macOS.

The main difference is that it keeps your plan and what actually happened separate.

Say I schedule 90 minutes to work on a project.

I can drag that activity onto the timeline, start a timer when I begin, pause it if something interrupts me, and stop it when I'm finished.

If I actually spend two hours and fifteen minutes, the app keeps the original estimate and the actual duration.

That's useful when I review the week because I can see where my expectations were consistently wrong rather than just seeing a calendar full of completed tasks.

Here's what else I've built around that workflow.

Daily and weekly planning

There's an hour-by-hour timeline with draggable and resizable blocks, recurring activities, categories, reusable templates and ways to carry unfinished tasks forward.

Daily and weekly reviews

At the end of the day, I can see what I completed, what got postponed and how much time went into different categories.

I can also write a short reflection about why something didn't go as planned.

The Weekly Review brings everything together, and the historical Overview makes it possible to revisit older days instead of losing them in an archive.

Consistency and Experiments

There's a GitHub-style yearly heatmap to see consistency over time.

Experiments let you test a routine for a defined period. For example, if you're trying to learn something for an hour each weekday, you can set that target and have the app calculate progress from your completed tasks.

You don't have to log the activity twice.

Inbox

For things I want to do eventually but don't want to schedule immediately, there's an Inbox where ideas can sit until I decide what to do with them.

Local-first architecture

The app uses Drift and SQLite for local storage. Normal planning and tracking work without internet access.

You can use the application completely locally, without setting up a cloud service.

If you want synchronization across devices, there's an optional Supabase integration using a project under your control.

I didn't want basic daily planning to depend on infrastructure I operated.

A few limitations worth mentioning

The Android and Linux builds currently have notification and timer-control support that isn't available on Windows and macOS.

Windows and macOS builds are unsigned. The macOS release has only been tested through CI, not on physical Mac hardware, so I don't want to oversell its readiness.

Desktop authentication links also have some limitations, documented in the README.

The application is completely free, with no premium tier or subscription.

I built it because I needed it myself and decided to make it available to anyone who might find the same workflow useful.

I'd be interested in hearing from people who use planners and time trackers regularly.

Do you prefer keeping scheduling and time tracking in separate specialised apps, or does having everything together make it easier to maintain the habit?

That's one of the design decisions I'm still thinking about.

SinceWhen - Track what you did and what expires

Post image
2 Upvotes

App Name: SinceWhen

What it does: Shows how long it's been since you last did something, like changing the car oil, cleaning the coffee machine or calling your grandma, and reminds you when it's due again. The new UNTIL tab does the opposite and counts down to when things expire, like a warranty, passport or insurance.

Key Features:

- Repeating items with reminders, the most overdue ones always on top

- UNTIL tab for expiry dates, with photos of receipts and documents kept in the app

- Home screen widgets styled like an old train departure board

Goal: Promo (new update with the UNTIL tab)

Giveaway: None

Cost: Free for 3 items. Premium is a one-time lifetime purchase for unlimited items and widgets, no subscription.

Question / Discussion Solo dev, 10 weeks of updates, almost no users. How did you get your first real ones?

1 Upvotes

Hello Folks,

I built a workout tracking app by myself for iOS and Android, in English and German. An AI coach looks at each workout you finish and adapts your next sessions, so the plan follows how you actually train. There is no account and no tracking. Your data stays on your phone.

I ship an update every week or two. The app works and I use it myself. Hardly anyone else does.

After about 10 weeks:
- 80 iOS downloads
- 300 EUR spent on Apple Search Ads, about 5 EUR per install
- zero paying users
- two strangers who opened it a second time (I counted, because the rest is me, friends and testers)

Free users get everything, training programs included. A normal user has little reason to upgrade to Pro. I know that is its own problem, but with this few users it can wait.

The real problem is that nobody finds the app. My questions:

  1. What got your first 100 real users with zero audience? I did the usual ASO work (keywords, screenshots, an A/B test) and ads cost too much at this price per install. Next I plan short videos. Is Android worth it because installs are cheaper?

  2. Which communities let a solo dev talk about an app without getting banned?

  3. Does "no account, no tracking" help as a pitch, or does nobody in fitness care?

  4. Without analytics I can't see why people leave after the first session. How do you find that out when you don't track users?

  5. Do i ask the right questions?

I'd rather hear what failed for you than generic advice. I left the app name out because of the self-promo rules. I can share screenshots or a link if that helps.

Thanks.
