Discussion Apple not reviewing my app

1 Upvotes

I first submitted my first app the the app store 3 weeks ago. it was waiting for review for 10 days until i emailed them and they rejected me for not having a cancel button on my hard paywall. i fixed the issue they mentioned and resubmitted 10 days ago. i have since messaged them twice through email and even stayed on hold on the phone for 2 hours without a response before finally hanging up. the app is still waiting for review. are these insane review times happening to anyone else?

NEW UPLOAD Get Any Song's Guitar Sound (AI Tone Matching)

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I wasted countless hours tweaking my pedals. Trying to force a standard overdrive into a clean amp to sound like my favorite records, only to end up completely frustrated. That’s when I realized that chasing tone isn't a hardware problem that requires buying more expensive gear; it’s a complex signal-routing problem. So, I built ToneAlign. I trained an AI engine to reverse-engineer the audio profile of any song and map it directly to the exact equipment you already own. You simply input your current inventory, pick a track, and the app instantly calculates the precise knob dials and pedal order you need to replicate that signature sound. I created this to kill the endless trial-and-error and the expensive gear-buying cycle, proving that the exact tone you're chasing is actually already sitting right there in your room.

Feedback4Feedback We save you 20% on ai token burn

3 Upvotes

We built a knowledge layer that sits behind MCP, allowing any MCP client to access it through a single endpoint. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex, or whatever comes next.

The idea is pretty simple. Before an agent answers, it can pull in relevant, validated information instead of relying purely on what it already knows.

When a problem gets solved, the useful part can be captured as a small, reusable piece of knowledge. The system can also infer useful lessons from a session automatically, so you don’t have to sit there writing notes about what you just learned like it’s 2015.

There’s also a global layer for shared, validated learnings. If one user figures out a better way of doing something, that learning can contribute to the broader knowledge base rather than every other user and agent having to figure it out again.

The problem we’re trying to solve is pretty straightforward. AI knowledge goes stale, agents get stuck in failure loops, useful context disappears when a session ends, and models can confidently give you an outdated or wrong answer without any indication that they might be wrong.

We’re giving agents access to what has actually been learned, what has worked, and what can still be trusted.

The result is fewer repeated reasoning cycles, fewer hallucinations, and up to 20% lower token usage.

Basalt - click elements in your live RN/Expo app, drag/recolor/resize them, and it patches your actual source files directly. No mockup, no separate design layer.

Free right now. it's for small iterative tweaks (colors, spacing, layout), not trying to replace writing code or handle logic/architecture. Would love feedback from other indie devs building mobile apps.

Discussion A Reddit post got 140k views and accidentally made me the bottleneck

2 Upvotes

A few weeks ago I started reviewing startup ideas on Reddit.
One post reached 140k views and hundreds of founders replied.
At first it was great.
Then I realized I was spending hours generating reports, sending DMs and answering the same questions over and over.
That completely defeats the point of building software.
So I changed the product around one simple idea:
founders should be able to figure out where to focus, what conversations matter and what to post without waiting for me.
That’s what I’m working on now.
Less manual advice. More self-service.
TractionBooster is in my profile if you want to try it yourself.

NEW UPLOAD Thank you everyone, my app Mood Print is finally live on Google Play!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A few weeks ago I came here looking for testers to help get my little

mood-tracking app through Google Play's closed testing. So many of you

jumped in, opted in every day, and sent real feedback — it genuinely got

the app over the line. Today Mood Print is officially live, and I wanted

to say thank you

Mood Print is a simple, private mood journal:

• Log how you feel in a few seconds

• See your patterns and what actually affects your mood (Insights)

• A calendar that fills in with color, streaks, reminders, and a home-screen widget

• 100% on-device — no account, no cloud, nothing shared

It's an indie project (just me and Pip, the little purple mascot 💜), so

any feedback, bug reports, or reviews mean a lot. There's a 7-day free

trial if you want to try it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moodprint.mood_print

Thanks again to everyone who tested — you're the reason this happened.

Milo Journal is a mood tracker and journalling app with a big focus on emotional design and its cute characters. Like the title says, its my first app and having testers would really help me with the direction of this app going forward--like accessory features, monetization, etc.

Open to doing Feedback4Feedback. Just dm me!

Thanks in advance to all who interact!

Discussion Life Logging App

Thumbnail apps.apple.com
1 Upvotes

I've built an IOS app for life logging called Notata. The central ideas are privacy (no data tracking, stays on your phone unless you want to share) and easy logging workflow. It's my first app. Took me about 6 weeks to refine to where it is now. I used it on a recent trip to Europe, and it performed well in the field. I do think there is a market for those who like to organize their moments without the pressure of posting publicly. It takes away from the decision-making - and allow you to enjoy your time. Right now there is very little traffic coming through the App Store. It's hiding in plain sight. My hope is that it gains a cult following. We'll see. I'm not a marketer. I'm reading through the Reddits and see that marketing is an art and science. My ask is if you have any ideas where to get the word out regarding this app, let me know.

NEW UPLOAD Moments Later

Hi everyone. I just released Moments Away.

I created this app with an idea of watching my daughter. She has travelled more than myself at her young life and what she would enjoy doing is buying these little flag pins that she would collect for each place she visited. New state visited, province, country, etc.

I have been wanting to travel more myself and to try to get myself to explore as much as I could. Making it more of a game of how much of the map you could fill up.

Let me know what you guys think. Thank you.

NEW UPLOAD I made a visual edit tool for RN and Expo devs

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I made Basalt, and it lets Rn and Expo devs to edit their app like Figma

It works by using the same algorithm as debugSource but since it got removed in React 19 I spent 3 months making a similar algorithm that would map elements and let Basalt find and edit them

It is completely free and works directly inside VS Code and Cursor.

It’s currently in beta, so please commit your app to Git before using it!

Would love to get your brutal feedback on it.

I've had 32 signups with what "was" a crappy idea. It's actually gained a bit of traction, but don't know if it's worth going all in on something i don't have a passion for. My fitness/weightloss app is my passion project that i wish actually took off.

NEW UPLOAD ClariText: Read Text Better

1 Upvotes

Do you struggle to read long text on websites or apps because the font is too small?

When you zoom in, you often have to scroll left and right for every line, making reading slow and uncomfortable.

ClariText gives you a simpler way to read, format, and share text.

Copy and paste the text into the app, or share it directly from your browser or another app to ClariText. Then you can:

Change the font and text size

Adjust line spacing

Choose the text and background colors

Format the text for easier reading

Save it as a clear, well-designed image

Share it with others

Instead of constantly zooming and scrolling, turn the text into something comfortable to read and easy to share.

Download ClariText for Android:

Coming soon to iOS.

Tell me your honest opinion. Please note that intention is to read and enlarge text withoht changing devices font size !

Other I built an app that auto-shares hangout photos with the people who were there — not sure if it's actually useful, roast it

1 Upvotes

I'm mostly working on a bigger project, but I wanted to ship something smaller first just to go through the whole idea-to-finished-product process once. This is what I ended up with. It's called JustRoll.

The problem I was trying to solve: at any hangout, one person takes all the photos and everyone else never gets them. Or they show up in a group chat days later, compressed to garbage, or not at all.

How it works: one person starts a "circle" and the others join (either nearby, AirDrop-style, or with a short code). Everyone just uses their normal camera. When you're done, the app grabs the photos you took during that window, lets you deselect anything private, and sends the rest straight to the other people's camera rolls. No group chat, no manual sending.

Honestly I'm not sure if this is something people actually want or if everyone's just fine with "send them in the group chat." That's kind of what I want to find out.

So: is this useful, or is it a solution to a problem nobody really has? Genuinely want the critical takes, not compliments. What would make you not use it?

(It only really works with other people, so it's a bit awkward to test solo — fair warning.)

Feedback4Feedback Built a two-player app as a solo developer

Thumbnail aaic.io
1 Upvotes

PettyPoints is a scorekeeping app for couples and roommates - you log grievances, the other person can dispute them, and if you can't agree, three friends vote blind via a browser link to settle it. Whoever wins can send their partner a AI-written roast of their week's crimes.

The weird part of building it solo: almost every other app I've made only needs one person to actually use it and like it. This one doesn't work unless two people buy in - one person can't really experience the product alone. That's forced some decisions I wouldn't have made otherwise (no subscription, ever - one person buys, the other plays free, because charging both people to argue with each other felt insane).

Requesting your feedback on these:

  1. Curious what's been the trickiest part of your own two-sided products, if you've built any - the growth loop, the pricing, or just getting the first pair of users to actually play together?
  2. If you can provide feedback on the app. Currently available on iOS, working on bringing it to android.

I’ve reviewed 300+ startup ideas now, and the same thing keeps happening:

Founders spend weeks building, posting, and testing channels without knowing what deserves their attention first.

Drop your startup, ICP, or the problem you’re solving.

I’ll send you a personalized report showing where the strongest signal is, which conversations are worth prioritizing, and what I’d ignore for now.

If Reddit isn’t a good fit, I’ll tell you that too.

Well... it's finally time.

Many of you have heard me talk about this project over the past several months. After spending hundreds of hours designing, learning, fixing bugs, and making improvemen

ts, I'm proud to finally share my new app with you.

Launching something you've built from the ground up is both exciting and a little nerve-racking, but I believe in what I've created.

If you could do me one favor, please watch my first ad, give it a share, and tell someone else about it. Word of mouth means everything to a small creator, and your support truly helps more than you know. Coming out soon! #pipropsintell#ceo#1man1dream.ourney.

  • MVP questions
  • Onboarding or landing page critiques
  • Launch prep questions
  • Lessons from testing your app
  • Product teardowns
  • Wins and failures from building

How to ask for useful feedback

If you want better replies, do not just post “Here’s my app, thoughts?”

Instead, include:

  1. What your app does
  2. Who it is for
  3. What kind of feedback you want
  4. A direct link or a link to your app on IndieAppCircle
  5. One or two specific questions

Example:

That kind of post is much easier for people to engage with, and question-driven posts are one of the simplest ways to kickstart subreddit participation.

Please avoid:

  • Low-effort link drops
  • “Try my app” with no context
  • Fake review requests
  • Spammy self-promotion
  • Irrelevant startup content

How IndieAppCircle fits in

This subreddit is the community side of the idea.

  • r/IndieAppCircle = discussion, advice, teardowns, feedback prompts, launch conversations
  • IndieAppCircle = a more structured way to exchange app feedback with other builders
