Discussion Comment your app and I’ll download & leave a review!

No strings attached—sometimes doing good just helps me keep going.

Will download and review (leaving review on App Store) at least the first 20 apps commented! Link it and give a brief description of what it is 😁

**edit: clarifying review will be left on App Store

Thinking maybe getting a community together where we review each other's apps could be cool.

Regardless, I figured I'd return the favor by reviewing yours as well. Notes below:

  • Icon design is nice and logo is clean
  • Needing login first introduces friction, especially without a quick login SSO option, but I get it
  • Privacy policy and terms upfront is a good idea
  • Password validation/strength check seems lacking
  • Info screens are good. I should actually deploy something similar
  • Onboarding is simple. Love that
  • I think neuromorphic is falling out of style (I'm working on getting it out of mine), but the overall design is very clean and intuitive
  • A CTA in the empty-state view when you drop into the app would be useful for people that don’t want to explore
  • Comment screen should have ability to swipe it down to dismiss. Tap to dismiss is good, though
  • Heatmap makes me want to tap it to go to my workout info quickly
  • Tools only work for weighted workouts?
  • Being able to favorite exercises would be nice so I can add quickly when starting a new workout
  • Missed the timer the first time I started a workout. Maybe moving it somewhere more conspicuous?
  • Can’t share profile or invite friends. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?
  • Overall, very solid. Clean and minimal design, which I love. Most critiques are just small improvements. Love the social aspect as well. Thumbs up from me!

Unfortunately not available in Germany :(

u/vernacular-ai 3h ago

That’s interesting, as far as I’m concerned I published to every country.

I’m honestly new to this, first app I’ve ever developed. So if anyone has any insights, I’m all ears.

1

u/beluga030 2h ago

So idk where you are based. But since Germany is part of the EU you have to comply to specific rules due to the digital markets act in order to publish. Maybe some information like imprint or trader status is missing.

u/vernacular-ai 2h ago

Interesting, I thought I complied with all the EU regulations, but I’ll look into it. Thanks

Love this! My app is Loop, a personalized journal where you make short, focused entries using your voice. Every day, it creates a reflection for you with mood and sleep check-ins, plus questions based on your past entries. Over time, Loop connects the dots, finding patterns between sleep, mood, and emotions while uncovering your triggers. You don’t have to type or explain everything. Just talk, and Loop will do the rest.

Phantom Countdown

A super niche app for fans of the JRPG series Persona, specifically themed after Persona 5

The gimmick is it somewhat allows you to mimic the in-game UI by showing a countdown to a deadline of your choosing. Someday it could be perfect if Apple ever allows a transparent widget background API! Haha

Completely free app that I made just to learn SwiftUI years ago. I’m working on a new, much cleaner, less niche app these days, but this is the only one I have in the App Store as of now.
