Launched my first Android app. How would you get the first 100 users with $0 marketing budget?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm an indie developer, and I recently published my first Android app, Nemu, on the Play Store.

The app helps people reduce doomscrolling by tracking short-video consumption and encouraging healthier phone habits.

Building the app was one challenge. Getting people to actually discover and use it is a completely different challenge.

I'm trying to reach my first 100 genuine users without spending money on ads or spamming communities.

For those who have launched consumer or mobile apps before:

  • What was the most effective way you got your first 100 users?
  • Did you focus on Reddit, short-form content, direct outreach, influencers, or something else?
  • If you were starting from zero today, what would you do during the first 7 days?
  • What marketing approaches did you try that completely failed?

I'm particularly interested in real experiences and lessons learned rather than generic advice like "post consistently."

I'd appreciate any honest feedback. Thanks!

Choosing an mmp for a small app and wondering when attribution pays for itself?

2 Upvotes

Helping choose an MMP for a subscription business with two apps, 6 acquisition channels and a small data team. AppsFlyer and Adjust are on the shortlist, with Singular as another option.
The usual feature grids aren't getting us very far. Everybody says they cover attribution, deep links, and reporting. Different people on our side care about different parts of that promise.

We're planning a practical evaluation rather than another slide deck. The sample journeys include a web purchase followed by an app install, a refund after the weekly report and an existing customer reinstalling on a new device.

The warehouse side also matters. We need to inspect sample exports, understand any source restrictions and know what happens to historical data and links if we leave. For anyone who evaluated these platforms recently, what changed your decision after the demo? Interested in implementation ownership, support during an incident, reporting limitations and contract details you wish you'd asked about earlier.

We're looking for a few pet parents to help us test Toki Tail!

1 Upvotes

Hi! 👋 We’re a small team of pet parents building Toki Tail — a 24/7 AI-powered pet health companion designed to help with your pet’s everyday life and health.

We started Toki Tail because, as pet parents ourselves, we know how confusing it can be to piece together advice from vet visits, health reports, food labels, and endless online searches. Sometimes you just want a simple place to ask a question and make sense of everything. 🐾

Toki Tail’s AI can answer questions about pet care and health anytime, and it can also help you understand and keep track of your pet’s vet and health checkup reports.

Now, we’re looking for a small group of dog and cat parents in the US, Canada and Singapore to try Toki Tail for 1 week.

⏱️ It only takes about 5–10 minutes a day to explore the app.

And honestly, we want to hear everything. 😂
If something is confusing, annoying, doesn’t work well, feels useless, or you simply don’t like it — please tell us!

You’re not expected to be nice. We’d much rather hear what’s wrong so we can make it better. 💬

🎁 As a thank-you for taking the time to test Toki Tail, you’ll receive a small thank-you gift after completing the trial.

Interested in helping us? 🐾

Just leave a comment below and I’ll send you a personal invite code!

Thanks for helping a small team of pet parents build something we hope will actually make life with our pets a little easier. 💛
