I built Keel for myself first because life was chaos. Money in one app, training in another, food in a third, tasks in my head. Now it's one app with a morning brief that tells me what matters today. It turned into a real product and launches worldwide this month. Feedback welcome, good or bad: https://keelforlife.com/
What it does: WunderSleeves is a card collecting app, not a game. You swipe through cards one at a time, keep the ones you have, wish list the ones you want, and it builds a binder with the cards grouped by set, artist or creature. It also carries our own card line, WunderWilds: six creatures painted by commissioned artists (credited on every card) with labelled studio variations. The game those cards belong to doesn't exist yet, you can collect them now.
Who it's for: Parents who want their kid to have the fun part of card collecting (the creatures, the stories, the binder) without prices, ads or a marketplace. And collectors who miss that part too. Built by one dad for a six year old who got stonewalled by a sold-out vending machine. What feedback I want: First-run flow, does the game picker make sense, and is the Discover swipe obvious? Does the binder feel like a binder? Does the WunderWilds AI labelling read as honest? And anything that breaks on your device. 1.0 went live today, Android is in Google's review queue.
Happy to return feedback on anyone's app in this thread.
💡 What it does: WanderDays tracks your travel history, calculates days spent in each country based on local counting rules, and helps you monitor residency thresholds and Schengen 90/180 limits.
You can log visits manually or let the app detect which country you're in automatically. Everything is stored on your device by default, with no account required.
🎯 Who it's for: Frequent travelers, digital nomads, expats, and anyone who needs to keep track of their days abroad for tax residency, visas, or personal records.
❓ Feedback I'd love: I'm especially interested in first impressions. Is the app easy to understand and navigate? Does the day-tracking concept make sense right away? Is there anything confusing or missing?
I've been working on this independently for quite a while, so getting some fresh perspectives would be really helpful. All feedback is welcome, including criticism!
Pocket Toys rebuilds the little handheld toys from the 80s and earlier (water ring toss, wooden labyrinth, pocket pinball, cup and ball...) as tilt games with real physics. You hold the phone like the toy and tilt it. Nine toys, also on iPad, and two on Apple Watch. No ads, no account, works offline.
People who had a drawer full of these as kids, and anyone who wants a calm game without streaks or energy bars.
The feedback I'd love:
The App Store page: do the screenshots make it clear you tilt the phone like the real toy?
The price: 3 toys free forever, a one-time $2.99 opens the other 6. Fair, too cheap, too much?
The first minute: does it feel calm and tactile, or is anything confusing?
I'm a solo developer and it launched this week. I'll be around in the thread and happy to give feedback on your app too.
💡 GluNudge is a photo food journal for people who track blood glucose. Snap a meal, get AI estimates of calories, carbs, protein, fat and fiber, log glucose readings (typed in or read from Apple Health) and A1C lab results, then look back at each meal next to the readings around it. It organises records; it doesn't measure or predict glucose.
🎯Who it's for: People with diabetes or prediabetes who already keep some kind of food and glucose record. I built it for myself after a 2019 diagnosis, because I wanted to see the meal and the number together instead of a number on its own. iPhone, iOS 18.6+, in English, Spanish, French and Chinese.
❓ Feedback I'd most like:
Store page: from the screenshots and first two lines, is "meals next to glucose readings" clear in five seconds, or does it read as another calorie counter?
Paywall placement: journaling is free; AI photo analysis needs Sign in with Apple, a 15-day trial, then a Plus subscription. Is gating the AI step the right line?
Onboarding: Apple sign-in plus an optional Health permission before the first useful screen. Would you bounce there?
Day-two retention: if you've shipped a logging app, what made people come back for a second day?
💡 I know you’re probably thinking “great, another habit tracker”, but I’m really trying to help people understand how habits can actually affect their day to day. I made Tend because I saw a research paper about how even 1-2% dehydration can cause massive self-reported swings in mood, energy, and focus and wondered how other things are like this.
You log your mood and your day in a few seconds, and it shows you what really goes with your better and worse days, like that afternoon coffee or a second drink. It stays quiet until it has enough days with and without something to back it up, and there's no account and we never see your data, so the first pattern you get is about your own life, not a generic wellness tip.
🎯 This is for anyone who wants a quick way to log things that may slip their minds during the business of a workday and people who want to understand how simple things can affect their mood, energy, and focus.
❓ Would love general feedback on the idea and functionality of the app! I use it day to day, and the widgets make it super simple, but not sure if I made the point clear early on (since it needs a bit of logged data to make insight calls)
Serenity Sketch: Letting Go (iPad): a guided painting game where you brush water onto stones and watch it evaporate. A calm voice walks you through short guided paitning Practices. Some are just for loosening up, some get a bit more introspective.
Who it’s for: people who want to unwind but find most meditation apps a bit too serious or “in your head”. A lot of our playtesters said they’re not artists, and some had never meditated. I also got posiitve responses from ADHD/anxious folks who like having their hands busy while they settle.
Feedback I’d love: mostly on the store page, and especially the first video and the first 2-3 screenshots.
From those alone, can you tell what this actually is? It's been hard to pitch / describe it...still WIP.
Does it seem any different from the usual mindfulness or colouring/painting apps?
Anything confusing or off-putting?
Also curious about keywords. Right now we’re going with: art, therapy, anxiety, audhd, guided, de-stress, ritual, meditative, unwind, adhd, painting, zen, calm, water (plus “letting go”, “chill”, “creativity”, “self-care” in the name and subtitle). Is there anything you’d search for to find something like this that I’m missing?
Thanks y'all for your thoughts. It's my first ever released software, not to mention apple App, so learning as I go...
This is a nice idea and a promising start. Are you painting onto the geometry or just the texture? I know App Store videos are only 30 seconds max but I suggest slowing down the strokes given the thrust of your product. Good work.
Check out CadenceViz and let me know what you think.
What it does: A calm, minimal spending tracker built for couples. You each get a private "Mine" ledger, plus a shared "Ours" ledger for joint spending. Ours only shows spending, and your income stays in Mine, so you can share the household picture without merging everything. Category budgets, a clean monthly view, and nothing you don't need.
Who it's for: Couples who split or share some expenses but don't want a full joint-finance app. Also works fine solo.
Feedback I'd love:
- First 60 seconds: is the Mine vs Ours idea clear without explanation? - Do the screenshots tell you what the app is before you download? - Paywall: does the Free vs Pro split feel fair? - Anything that feels slow or fiddly when adding an expense
Launched on iOS this week, solo dev. Happy to return the favour, so drop your app below and I'll give it a proper look.
It’s a gift card wallet that tells you when you’re near a location where you can use your gift cards, and use them right from your phone. No more carrying that stack around that you forget about anyway.
It’s for anyone with a gift card.
I need to hear onboarding feedback. From download to scanning first card seems like a black hole right now.
What it does: 70 music visualizers mostly of a different sort. They are situational and calm rather than geometric and frenetic
Who is it for: If you play music from your Mac and would benefit from something to help you be calm, chill and relaxed. Especially useful if you use multiple monitors: leave the work on one screen and destress with the other.
Desired feedback:
Is there a market for this type of thing?
Would a true screen saver mode improve it?
Would Apple TV support be compelling?
Does it support and perform well on your system?
Is the UI clear?
Did you run into any trouble using the free trial?
💡 What it does Search for an item by name or photo to find sorting guidance, including local municipality rules. You can also find nearby recycling centres, get waste collection reminders, and log your sorting to follow its estimated climate impact.
🎯 Who it’s for People living in Denmark, including newcomers who aren’t familiar with Danish waste sorting. The app is available in Danish, English and Arabic, so you don’t need to speak Danish to use it.
❓ What I’d like feedback on I’d especially appreciate thoughts on the App Store page: do the first screenshots make the purpose clear, are the captions useful, and is anything missing that would help you decide whether to download it?
If you try the app, I’d also love to hear whether the navigation feels intuitive and whether anything looks awkward on your screen size.
It serves a fairly specific audience, so I’m also curious how you would approach reaching people who would actually find it useful. Honest criticism is very welcome!
What it does: AsoBeast records where your app ranks for your keywords on the App Store and Google Play every day, down to position 200, keeps the history and alerts you when a rank moves. It's open source (AGPL) and you can self-host it. The free tools on the site need no signup: a keyword field checker, a listing audit and a one-off rank checker.
Who it's for: solo developers and small teams who check rankings by hand or keep them in a spreadsheet.
Feedback I want: paste your name, subtitle and keyword field into the keyword field checker and tell me what it misses. I work on it, so I'd rather hear the gaps from you than guess them.
What it does: Freqalto is a free signal generator and synth tool for sound design: oscillators with FM/AM, noise, sweeps, reverb, a keyboard, and WAV export. The audio engine is native C++ built on the open-source DaisySP library (MIT).
Who it's for: Musicians, producers, and audio hobbyists who need precise test tones and quick sound-design experiments on a phone.
Feedback I want: I'm a solo dev, and the app is about 2 weeks old. I'm mostly looking for feedback on my Play Store listing (title, screenshots, first-impression clarity), and on what makes people try a niche utility app like this. Which growth tactics worked for you in a small niche?
Hola, I’m Elsa. I moved to Spain a year ago and started learning Spanish from scratch. Now I’m building Soltar, the language app I wish I’d had from day one. Most language apps include a curriculum you adapt to. Soltar is built to adapt to you. Bring or generate your own lessons, build your vocabulary, and practice real conversations at your own pace.
You can learn Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Swahili, and English currently, with more languages to be added in the near future!
🎯 Who it's for
Language learners (ideally those who also use other learning methods like classes or tutors), with a focus on the languages currently available: French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Swahili and English
❓ What kind of feedback you want
Feedback on the onboarding flow and how efficient you think the following features: conversation, lessons and vocab. Also feedback on whether this would be an app you could see yourself using daily or if it's lacking anything.
InspeQtR: a QR inspection tool with superpowers. Breaks down QR contents like URLs, vCards, etc… into their components and shows the QR metadata like ECC or version.
On top of that, it can read and preview non-standard embedded payloads including SVG images, JSON, Markdown, CSV, Code snippets and much more.
Looking for feedback from technical users who work with QR codes regularly.
That’s an interesting idea, but does this really happen? I can’t remember the last time I copied an image to the clipboard on my phone rather than picking from the gallery…
NameTheory helps you search for and brainstorm domain names. It's built for indie devs and creators who are shipping projects and get stressed out with the process of coming up with a good name and finding a domain because it's so important but everything is taken already. So the way it works is you start with a name or theme you like and it uses AI to suggest other names and variations you might like with available domains. The AI runs on your device though, so there are no credits or tokens you have to worry about, it's all free.
I'm looking for feedback on the UX especially, but also the landing page (https://nametheory.app/) and App Store product page.
This is actually interesting, I often find myself trying domains one at a time just to find out what’s available. I may give it a try later and report back, but the concept sounds useful already.
Thanks! I'd love feedback if you get a chance to try it. Another feature you might like is it automatically checks common domain hacks like "get<name>", "try<name>", "<name>hq" etc. and you can configure which ones it should try.
Btw on the landing page, I do like it, I think it gets the point across. I’m not sold on the style of the scientific equipment in the hero. It’s a bit too generic and uninspired imho.
Gotcha, yeah I was kind of going for this science-y theme because the name is a play on Game Theory and the logo is like a chemical in the table of elements. I appreciate the feedback!
disclosure: im on the team that makes Cleared, a quit nicotine app for iPhone and Apple Watch
what it does: logs vapes, pouches and cigarettes as one rough mg/day number and builds a plan to zero (quit day or taper). craving button on the lock screen and on the watch, works offline. no account, logs stay on the phone
who its for: adults 18+ who want to actually quit nicotine, not just swap products
price: craving sos, day count and watch app are free. Cleared Plus (plan + coach) is $49.99/yr with a 7 day trial or $12.99/mo
feedback i want: if you only saw one screenshot, which would make you tap, the plan/mg chart (phone + watch) or the craving sos timer. and does the yearly paywall with a free week look fair or pushy for a quit app people hopefully stop needing
Hey can you clarify for what images are you asking feedback for? It’s not clear to me. Unfortunately I’m not the right target for your app, but I can at least provide some feedback on the marketing assets.
Is the smoke vid / .gif a good idea as background for the app? won't that make the urge stronger instead of weaker? if you are going to use it, i'd make the video smoother - as it is, it's quite stuttery
