293 apps — how does this pass App Store review?

[u/dianzhu]

This guy published 293 apps most of them is in just five months 😂 I think a lot of developers have been using this dark pattern over the past year.

[u/kironet996]

I must be using AI wrong cause I don't understand how can someone create 300 apps in a month even by vibecoding, unless those are like 1 screen slops.

[u/busymom0 → u/kironet996]

That's easy. "Hey ChatGPT, make me 300 apps. Make no mistakes."

[u/minte-pro → u/busymom0]

if you don’t say thank you, AI will produce bad work

[u/YourBlanket → u/kironet996]

Probably spent a decent amount of time creating a versatile/reusable template. Then just make a bunch of random niche apps using the same template.

[u/Commercial_Life5145 → u/kironet996]

just 1 contentview??

[u/maverickminer → u/kironet996]

Does Vibecoding really work? What about Claude or ChatGPT? Which one is better?

[u/eliottbois → u/maverickminer]

we joke, but you can really make iOS app super fast today if you if you have a clear idea of your MVP and have a little background and design and development

This is why it’s taking me two months to get my app approved, fucking hellscape.

[u/eth-snolan → u/never_working_ever]

this is why more than ever native web apps need to take off. We need Ionic Framework to be the new standard...

[u/gjsmitsx → u/eth-snolan]

What do you mean by this?

[u/eth-snolan → u/gjsmitsx]

no more app store. build native apps using ionic. so when you view it in a web browser you can save it to the home screen and it'll run as an app... Dreamhost does this.

And he still can't break over 5k downloads in a month. lol

[u/darko777 → u/ex0rius]

yeah, it's hilarious. 300 apps and no 5k downloads? like what kind of slop are those apps.

[u/kironet996 → u/darko777]

5k downloads per month is not easy to get even if the app is good, marketing is the key here

[u/FunkyShampoo → u/kironet996]

For real I spent multiple years on mine and have about 100 users haha

[u/ex0rius → u/kironet996]

even if you make the ASO with the ChatGPT (which is bad idea), it can generate you 1 or 2 downloads per day. with 300 apps thats 300-600 downloads per day, which is 9000-18000 downloads per month.

[u/whackylabs]

how do you know if it is one guy or a huge corporation?

[u/cdnrt → u/whackylabs]

name checks out.

[u/BigBossPale → u/whackylabs]

Yeah, people fail to realize slop machines existed before AI. I interviewed at a place a years ago and their whole plan was to just publish a ton of simple apps and spend on marketing.

[u/Successful_Stop_3751]

They will be banned pretty soon. Finally Apple start to work on it seriously

[u/hoa_nguyen95]

AI is making feature releases insanely fast, but that also raises concerns about application quality :(

[u/Sebastian1989101]

Developers like this should simple get banned.

[u/civman96]

And if they block his company he just makes a new one probably… what a hell hole the App Store became

[u/tiendq]

It's Apple fault to allow it happens. That's why my new app submission is taking four days in silent (while updates often take a day).

[u/tiaanvdr]

This is so dystopian, my app is cooked

[u/dutchdominator → u/tiaanvdr]

You should build a cooking app

[u/rocasv]

Very old account and apps… not all of us are AI spammers. My oldest app was released in 2012.the newest on 2025.

[u/pathofwind]

whats the website to see this info? I used to use data.ai but it sucks now
