I’m trying to refine the key metrics I use to measure the success of our app, but I’m always wondering if I’m missing something important. Beyond DAUs and retention rates, are there any other crucial metrics you track that have been game-changers for understanding your app’s performance?

Hey, I’ve been working on improving engagement with mobile users, and one thing that’s tripping me up is the drop-off rate when people click links that open in apps. It feels like I’m losing a ton of clicks because people have to jump through hoops or manually search in the app, which is a pain.

I recently started using deep linking to cut out these extra steps, sending users directly to the exact app content I want them to see. For anyone interested, here’s what I’m using — it’s been a game-changer in reducing user losses and making the experience way smoother.

Curious if anyone else has tried something like this or has other strategies that work? What’s been your experience with mobile engagement?

I’ve recently launched an app called PostPocket, designed to help you quickly save and categorize important posts without having to open the app itself. Whether it’s useful tips, insightful articles, or interesting social media posts, you can store them with just a few taps and view them later when you have time, free from distractions.

I’d love to hear feedback from this amazing community! 🙏 What works? What could be improved? Any thoughts or suggestions would be super valuable.

I was reading this article from eMarketer about Apple’s continued crackdown on data privacy through new iOS updates (link: https://www.emarketer.com/content/apple-new-ad-product-pushes-closer-google) and how it's affecting ad revenue for developers. With these stricter privacy measures, it’s becoming harder to track users and optimize ads effectively, which means less revenue, especially for small developers like us.

We rely heavily on ads for our app, and I’ve noticed a slight dip in eCPM since the last iOS update. Has anyone else running ad-based apps noticed this, too? Is it time to pivot strategies and focus on other forms of monetization? Should we be looking at something like contextual ads that don’t rely on user data?

I’m open to any advice on how to adjust and keep revenue steady while staying compliant with the new rules.

I'm looking for some advice on how to accurately calculate ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) specifically for Apple App Store Ads, especially when I’m running multiple marketing campaigns across various platforms. 🤔

Right now, I’ve got multiple streams like:

• Social media ads (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook)
• Influencer partnerships
• Google Ads
• Organic growth efforts
• Apple App Store Ads

Not sure if there's a easy way to calculate revenue generated from the appstore ads

Hey everyone!

After months (or years) of late nights, countless iterations, and endless learning, my side hustle just hit $5K MRR. It feels surreal to finally hit this milestone, and I wanted to share it with the community that’s been a constant source of inspiration and motivation.

I’d love to pay it forward, answer questions, and chat with anyone on a similar journey! Whether you’re just starting out, scaling, or stuck in the grind, ask me anything about:

• What worked and what didn’t during the early stages
• How I managed time and stress with a full-time job
• Building a customer base and retention strategies
• Tools, tech stack, or marketing strategies that got me here
• How I’m planning to scale further from here

Feel free to ask about the challenges too—because there have been many! 😂

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of the community here—it’s helped me push through. Let’s chat and grow together! Please let me know if you guys have any criticism about my app, thanks. 🚀

Hi everyone! I think this topic could be really interesting for those who don’t have coding skills but want to launch their own app. So, I decided to write a blog covering it!

Here’s a quick summary:

• What is no-code development?

No-code development is a method of building functional apps without writing any code. It allows users with no coding experience to create apps using visual tools like drag-and-drop interfaces, pre-built templates, and workflows. 

• Is no-code better than traditional coding? (pros and cons)

Pros:

• Development speed
• Lower development costs
• Easy for non-technical users
• Flexibility and iteration
• Focus on design and user experience

Cons:

• Limited customization

• Not suitable for complex apps

• Platform dependence

• Integration limitations

• Security concerns

• What are the limitations of no-code app builders?

No-code platform supports simpler applications without many features, and if you want your business to grow, this might not be the best solution.

• Are no-code apps secure?

No-code apps can be secure, but their security largely depends on the platform you're using and how the app is configured. With no-code platforms, you're relying on the platform's built-in security, which may not be customizable or as strong as traditional coding. If the platform has a security flaw, your app could be exposed to risks.

• Are no-code apps the future?

No-code apps are likely to play a significant role in the future of app development, particularly for specific use cases. Here's why:

- Accessible to non-technical users

- Speed and efficiency

- Lower costs

AI-Powered Nutrition App That Outdoes Yuka, MyFitnessPal, and Calorie Trackers—Would You Use This?

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on something I think could shake up the nutrition app space, and I’d love some feedback. My app, FreshFrame, takes a different approach from popular apps like Yuka, MyFitnessPal, or your typical calorie trackers. Instead of just tracking calories or giving static data, we’re using conversational AI to offer real-time, personalized advice.

Here’s where FreshFrame is different:

Conversational AI: You’re not just looking at numbers—you can ask FreshFrame questions like, “Is this good for muscle gain?” and get real-time, goal-specific answers.

Real-Time Product Comparison: Instantly scan and compare two products side by side based on your goals, whether it’s weight loss, muscle gain, or avoiding certain ingredients.

Meal Scanning: FreshFrame lets you scan entire meals and get a detailed nutritional breakdown—not just one food item at a time. Plus, we track how produce’s nutrients change as it ripens, which isn’t something you’ll find in most apps.

This kind of real-time decision-making isn’t being done by apps like Yuka or MyFitnessPal, which mostly offer calorie counting or basic ingredient insights. FreshFrame goes further by helping you make in-the-moment decisions that are truly personalized to your health goals.

I’m curious—can you see yourself using something like this? What features would you want to see? If you’re interested, I’ve got a landing page where you can learn more. Let me know your thoughts!

I'd love to get your feedback on a web application I've been developing. It started as a weekend project, but I'm starting to think it could be really useful for others.

Here's how it works:

• Goal Setting: List the things you want to buy or save for.
• Motivational Countdown: Based on your current balance and savings plan, the app shows you a countdown to when you'll be able to afford your goal, helping you stay motivated.
• Life Values Tracker: A unique feature allows you to track your activities and accomplishments across different life values (e.g., health, relationships, creativity). This helps you visualize where you're focusing your energy and identify areas you might be neglecting. I'm even working on a feature to provide a "life balance" ranking based on your activity.

I'm really excited about the potential of this app to help people achieve their goals and live more balanced lives. What do you think? Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone!

I’m currently working on a new app called SwipeArt (check it out at swipeart.de), designed to offer a fun, personalized way for users to explore art. The concept is simple: swipe right on the artworks you love, and left on those that aren’t your style – just like Tinder, but for art!

Here’s what SwipeArt will feature:

1. Personalized Art Suggestions: As users swipe, the app learns their preferences and recommends similar artworks.
2. Museum Recommendations: Based on your swipes, the app suggests museums and exhibitions that feature the types of art you love, and you can even preview collections before visiting. You can explore collections from famous museums like MoMA!
3. Art + Music Experience: Each week, curated Spotify playlists will complement the artworks, enhancing the discovery experience with music.

Current Development Status: I’m building the frontend using Flutter and the backend with Flask. The app is in active development, and I’m looking for feedback on the core concept, UI/UX, and potential features!

Who’s it for? Art enthusiasts, museum lovers, or even casual users looking for a fun and interactive way to discover new art.

Technologies: For the frontend I'm using flutter and for the backend Flask. The source of the image is Wikidata.

I’d love to get feedback from this community! What do you think about the idea? Any suggestions for features that would make the app more engaging or useful?

Thanks in advance for any insights – excited to hear your thoughts!

Best regards Liam

Hi everyone!

I’d like to get your opinion on something...

For those of you who promote your app and management system development services (using AppSheet) to businesses: do you usually mention the technology you’re working with? Do you explicitly talk about AppSheet, or do you just advertise that you develop systems and apps for companies without detailing the platform?

What’s your take on this approach? Do you think it’s better to focus on the final product without mentioning the technology used, or is it valuable to showcase and talk about AppSheet as well?

I’d love to hear your experiences and suggestions!

Does anyone have any suggestions about who to talk to, or partner with, to offer up my app idea without having it stolen from me..?

Hello Everyone,

Hey I have been building a product from past 6 months. This idea popped up in my head during a discord call with my best friend.

As we were discussing about something that person started speaking about how tiresome it was to import files to Figma if the file is on the cell phone.

My friend has to take help of various platforms like WhatsApp, telegram, etc. and send those image to themselves then login to those platforms on their working pc and download it from there and then import it to their design file.

This is a long process and take enough time to disturb their flow state and he also mentioned it's just not him, many designer face this issue.

So we started building a product that solves this problem and currently the project is 90% completed basic functionality are working we are just trying to make it look more attractive.

Now I have 50+ testers for this app and it is already in production if you guys want you can check it out. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurabh7973.snapdrop

But that is not my motive here what I really want is to have a successful launch where I can gather a lot of user gain a lot of traction.

Now you know my back story and I also want to say I can pay for paid marketing if it's very little I will try to but then it depends I am looking for a more natural growth which doesn't involve money.

This is where I ask you to help me and suggest me some ways in which I can sussessfully launch my app gain a lot of traction and users.

If you Guys can help I probably think this will help a lot of a lot of people here who are on the same path as me...

Thank you for reading this.... 🙏

I’ve been debating whether to add a subscription model. But then I saw one dev approach: he just launched his app for low price, just $0.99 — no ads, no subscriptions, just pure value. And had a lot of purchases

Now I’m seriously considering doing the same. What do you think?

Let me know your thoughts👇 What’s the best app pricing strategy?

Hi,

I've currently released my app on Android and I'm planning to do it on iOS as well. There are a few questions I wanted to ask.

1. Are Apple search Ads costlier than Google app campaigns in terms of CPI?
2. Is ROI better on iOS?
3. Kindly share your experience if any

Thank you.

The app is an invoice management tool - invoice-generator.ai

A few interesting notes -

1. I don’t have much experience in development (my background is in CS, focused on data science). But working with claude-dev (aka cline) really changed things for me - s/o to the claude-dev team
2. claude-dev (via sonnet-3-5 specifically) wrote about 80% of the code, and I handled the remaining 20%—setting up authentication, security, and making a few design choices. It took me around 40 hours over two weeks to get everything deployed.
3. Pretty content with how it turned out. Next, I might try building an iOS app—perhaps with a more funny idea, but definitely with claude-dev's help.

I'd like to really recommend people play with these beginner friendly dev tools. It's fun and you learn a lot especially at a high level of how to build a software.

Is this the future of business software? Could AI really solve what no-code couldn’t? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with using no-code tools. What challenges have you faced?

If this sounds interesting, you can learn more about Crust AI at trycrust.co.

We’ve been working on an AI-based approach to this problem with Crust AI, where instead of learning yet another tool, you simply describe your business process, and the software is generated for you—fully customized for how you work. No coding, no "development"—just describe what you need, and in minutes, you get a ready-to-use system, complete with client portals, employee hubs, or whatever your business needs.

The truth is, most off-the-shelf solutions are designed for broad use cases, not your specific workflow. Whether you're a marketing agency managing client content approvals or a vendor coordinating with suppliers, these tools often fall short when it comes to handling your unique business needs end-to-end.

If you're running a service-based business, chances are you’ve already tried no-code tools like Zapier, Airtable, or even full platforms like Bubble to patch together a workflow that works for you. But after spending weeks learning them, you might still feel like the software isn’t quite tailored to your business. Sound familiar?

What are the platforms to track mobile app performance metrics like downloads, MRR, MAU, and other key stats for any app? I know about Crunchbase, Sensor Tower but they are a bit pricey. Looking for suggestions!
