My unsolicited advice just build whatever you want to build, then add a bit of your own identity to it.

Imagine if McDonald wouldn’t start because there’s a KFC.

[Wilmer Terrero @wilterrero]

please i beg you: don't build another calorie counter or prayer lock app

do this instead:

- find high-volume, low-competition keywords, ask Claude how to do so
- check the top 3 competing apps, analyze their reviews
- build around for those keywords with 1 core feature, no extra noise
- once app approved, dump $50 on Apple search ads to get a better boost

thank me later.

@dev_mario thank goodness, a good reason for a hard reset from Tibo 😂😂

@alexcooldev 😂😂😂 they are everywhere

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@JeremyLasne Yikes… review time turn around is pretty bad now, hopefully Apple comes up with a solution for this.

@jackfriks @loverofapps Nicely said.

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@anumness The app looks nice.

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@thsottiaux Awesome.

@matthi_ai @athcanft Weekly, Yearly and Lifetime is a nice combo, just make sure not to show the lifetime by default, have a button or toggle to show it and price it based on your niche/market value. Never price it low.

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@anumness Totally agreed 😂

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@everton_dev Nice… let us know how it goes, maybe we can learn from it.

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@mariosaputra @athcanft 😭😂😂

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@mariosaputra 😂😂 people can be very self centered when it comes to their own niche/field.

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@m_0_r_g_a_n_ I just started working on my own app portfolio as well. Seeing your 10 apps is quite inspiring. Keep it up man!

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@embirico Yesss!!!

[Valter @machapps_dev]

@noironsol Dan’s article wasn’t about overnight transformation. It was about awareness, seeing what’s missing and turning that discomfort into fuel (Law of Conservation of Energy). Change happens iteratively, not magically, despite the clickbait title. Nice take though

@adamlyttleapps 😂😂😂

@david_attisaas You said it right, “fanboys”. The whole industry is made of copycats. Product owners do not or should not care about that as long as you inject your own identity in the already existing “idea”.
