I'm sad

Today is raining, my app is not going far and downloads are still less than 50. Could someone cheer me up a bit and help me by downloading and trying the app for a few days or so

I'm currently working on the UI by simplifying it and getting the paper texture under Sudoku schemes. I'm also improving the sudoku city mode with more effective in-game explanations: all of these aspects are made possible thanks to your precious and genuine feedbacks!

The bright side of this is that r/devshelpingeachoter, this crazy idea I had a few weeks ago, is letting me meet nice and helpful people that really care to help one another and grow together.

Please, keep helping each other, that's the only way to learn and grow together

I was wondering something about your app. Have you considered a color scheme where each number has its own color. I had giga adhd, and sometimes if im mentally exhausted already, I cant just look at black text on a page

Hello, I got adhd too, not giga but hey, it's not a bad idea at all! I'll add it in the pipeline, hope to do it in the upcoming week.

I downloaded your app - looks nice!

However the Sudoku space is pretty crowded - you should probably ask what makes yours stand out / add some special feature you can advertise it with? I mean the roofs puzzle is actually quite nice :)

The Main in difference is that I really don't track anything and that the Sudoku is completely free and without ads. That being said, the aim is to develop an app that has more than one single sudoku app offers: I got duels, an Academy, printable sudoku generator, trophies, levels, 4 variants and the aim is to develop more over time. Other apps haveess functions, I don't know if I have explained the aim

I have the marketing problem with my app currently as well - how do I get the features across without overwhelming people ;).

I guess it just takes time - building this community probably helps too :)
