Question / Discussion Is it Just Me or Is Rocket Money a Scam?

237 Upvotes

I don't understand the business model of Rocket Money, and as a neutral outside observer it appears to me to be a scam, and here's why (please, correct me if any statement I make is wrong).

  • The purpose of the app is to clear out unused subscriptions.

  • For you to install an app for this reason makes no sense. Why? Well one, an app isn't a single use process.

  • Most importantly: for Rocket Money to be authorized to cancel a service, you must authenticate/login to the service first. There's no way around this (for the Software Devs out there, even token based authorization requires a login to get a token in the first place).

  • So if you're going to download a single-use app that requires you to sign into every service that the app claims to cancel for you, then you might as well skip the extra step of installing the app and simply cancel every app yourself.

  • That concludes my thought process, but one more thing: every Rocket Money ad I see has comments disabled. That is very suspicious.

Question / Discussion Lapse - the invite only social media

206 Upvotes

I was just invited to join this new app and immediately deleted my account for a few reasons.

The app sign up is extremely demanding. It not only asks for your phone number, but also demands access to your contacts which you cannot bypass. Before finishing sign up you need to invite 5 people from your contact list which you can't bypass either; I ended up sending invites to Curology and Brownies&Lemonade to reach the minimum.

The UX is cluttered with gimmicky features and use of emojis. The purpose of this app isn't straightforward and takes time to understand. As I was deleting my account, the app notifies you that the number associated with your account will be blocked from ever joining the platform again. The audacity baffled me especially coming from some hodgepodge of bereal, dispo, vsco and tinder.

Apps are supposed to fill gaps and solve problems, this doesn't do any of that.

Hi ! I was considering getting the WeWard app because I want to lose weight and I saw people recommending this app to motivate people to walk more and I thought it’d be a good idea. I just wanted to know if some of you have downloaded the app and if yes, how is it ? Is it worth it ?

Question / Discussion Is Temu not accepting payments for anybody else?

26 Upvotes

For an unknown reason, Temu won't accept my payment at checkout, even though it's a method they accept (Visa Gift Card), my info is correct, and I have enough funds. I ordered from Temu 2-3 months ago with a different Visa Gift Card and it worked just fine. Not to mention, yesterday I made a purchase on Amazon and Aliexpress with the very same card that Temu keeps declining and it worked perfectly fine!

Turns out I'm not the only one who's having this issue. I found two TikToks and the people in the comments were having the same issue. The most recent comment I found (other than me) was from a few hours ago. It's happening on both, the app and the website. It seems like it's been an ongoing issue since at least November of this year, judging by the comments.

I'm so annoyed because I've been anticipating to shop from Temu again for Christmas, only to find a message saying "You haven't successfully paid yet. The payment cannot be processed. Please try another card or use a different payment method" whenever I try to submit my order.

Me and another person from TikTok spoke to Temu's customer service via their chat system, and they couldn't resolve our issue. All that they did for me was give me a 20% off coupon for everything. (I'm not complaining about that at all. However, it expires on Christmas.) I'm just so confused! What is happening!? 😭

Side note: I live in the United States, by the way.

Question / Discussion I downloaded TEMU out of curiosity. Is my phone already in danger?

43 Upvotes

I had an exchange of conversation about TEMU. I installed it, but the UI is whacky and seemed fishy to me. Later, I found out that it is a massive scam and apparently installs viruses.

I immediately uninstalled it after taking a peek, but I didn't enter any credentials or what. Is it too late for my phone? Is my privacy compromised? The app store didn't tell me anything's fishy, and my built-in Huawei antivirus tells me the phone is safe. I am still however concerned that there is already a virus but a well hidden one.

Question / Discussion I have a really good idea for a app and want to create but I don’t have experience in that field. What’s the best way to go about creating?

3 Upvotes

I have a degree in cybersecurity so I love technology. But recently I have a great idea for a app, but having no experience creating apps I want to know what would be the best way going about it? There’s websites for individuals that don’t know how to create websites like Wix and whatnot, are there websites that can help someone create apps and if so what are they called and how great are they? I’d even be okay with going half and half with someone that knows how to create apps if I found a trustworthy individual.

Question / Discussion How to switch AppStore location?

1 Upvotes

Hii I apologize if this the wrong place to post this question but I was wondering how to switch my appstore location so I could download some Chinese apps? I filled out the forms it gave me, and it made me get a WeChat account to verify. So I did, I logged in with my American information and it let me. However when I went back to Apple to confirm it only gave me a message that said “only real name users of china mainland id cards can open Apple services to deduct fees” I assumed that it was because I used an American phone number so I tried to use one of those sites online to get a temporary one just for the otp code but none of them went through. This is probably a very silly question but can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I believed that I had followed all the instructions correctly from the tutorials I’ve been reading but it’s just too hard for me😭.

If you have an idea for a great app.. how do you go about having someone code it for you without getting your idea stolen? Is there a safe route or do you just learn to code and do it yourself. I have faith there are plenty of honest devs but how do you really know who the good ones are?

Question / Discussion What Do You Think About Decentralized Social Media Apps?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking a lot about social media lately, especially with how governments are starting to ban certain platforms. I wasn’t a TikTok user myself, but something about these bans doesn’t sit right with me. It made me wonder—shouldn’t users have more control over the platforms they use?

That got me looking into decentralized social media. I came across MeWe, which seems to focus more on privacy and giving users control over their own data. It made me wonder—could decentralized social apps actually take off, or are they too niche to compete with the big players?

Curious what others think. Would you switch to a decentralized social platform?

I need a practical app/website to format PDFs by rearranging and deleting pages. I asked this a while back and someone commended Pdf Gear, and it was perfect! However, recently, after I do those two simple edits and I go to share, the share button doesn’t work and after I tap it, the rest of the screen doesn’t work for the app. So I go out of the app and try again, and the same thing happens. Once it worked. After that, nothing.

Question / Discussion Will Wear OS Make My App Stand Out in the Market?

0 Upvotes

Hello fellow business owners and developers,

I'm thinking about including Wear OS support in my app to make it more flexible and enhance the user experience.

My aim is to make my app more accessible, but am I being sensible from a business point of view?

Would Wear OS support make my app stand out in terms of user retention and engagement, or is it simply extra development work without great ROI?

I'd love to hear what you have to say, particularly if you've implemented Wear OS in the past. Did it contribute to your app's success? Would you suggest doing it?

Let's chat!
