another app riding the exact same GTA fantasy Achievr is a habit tracker that turns your daily tasks into GTA-style missions "we got GTA IRL before GTA 6" pulled 285k views and they post 5+ videos a day with pretty much the same caption one format, two completely different apps

over 5m views from just 1 video promoting a maps app? Game Maps IRL turns your Google Maps into a GTA or RDR2 map they're not selling navigation, they're selling the fantasy of living inside the game also, ai hooks don't work, right?

noticed the same takes a while for the app to get picked up from the queue but once it's in review, approval is almost instant wonder if it's based on the app itself or the dev account's track record

Seems like Apple is automating the app review process for certain developer accounts I've had several app updates reviewed and approved in under a minute Anyone else experiencing this?

don't really know what to do with reviews like this makes me wonder if I should go freemium and just gate the features hard paywall or freemium, what's actually converting better for you?

1984년 매킨토시로 변한 아이폰 듀오 애플의 첫 폴더블폰 〈iPhone Duo〉를 반쯤 접으면 1984년 매킨토시를 재현한 작은 노트북으로 변신합니다. 새롭게 공개된 〈Tiny Computers〉는 매킨토시부터 윈도우 95·XP까지 고전 컴퓨터 10종을 체험할 수 있는 앱입니다. 키보드 입력은 물론 그림 그리기와 간단한 게임도 즐길 수 있으며, 일반 아이폰과 아이패드에서도 이용할 수 있습니다. 🎥 idanbo

another app using the exact same format you could apply this to pretty much any niche just build the story around the desired outcome and make your app the payoff

these are pretty much the same slideshows one got over 120k likes the other barely hit 40 posting on tiktok really feels like buying lottery tickets the more you post, the better your chances

I might have been sleeping on Pinterest this whole time a handful of pins generated over 250k impressions in less than 30 days only 50 page visits so far, so there’s still a lot to optimize but the potential is clearly there

I tried posting on Facebook once, but it didn’t even give me an initial audience sample could’ve been a dead account? I have no idea how Facebook distribution works or what to expect from a fresh account should I give it another shot?

Everyone says that Facebook is for boomers. But when it’s your app primary audience and you got the right format, then it could serve your traffic. The only question is the conversion and I should figure it out in upcoming days 🙂

this AI influencer video pulled over 60m views and 2.6m shares not sure yet how to turn this kind of attention into app users but numbers like these are impossible to ignore are we all sleeping on this format?

starting to get semi-viral hits every now and then this one got 31k views and brought almost 400 downloads I could never get this kind of conversion from slideshows if you’re not doing millions of views, the product simply has to be part of the content
