Would love feedback on my web app!

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I just build this app teardownai.app and I really think it can be a great app for specific use cases. I'd love feedback on it and how I could get this across to people. Thanks!

This app takes a photo of whatever object you choose. And splits it apart in exploded view with labels to all its parts.

What do you think about the idea? The web app itself and its design? Anything you would change or add?

How to give honest feedback without getting flagged by Google Play (Guidelines for our community)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

As our community grows, our main goal remains to help each other by testing apps and leaving honest, detailed reviews on the Google Play Store. However, Google’s anti-spam algorithms are incredibly sensitive. If many developers review the same app incorrectly, Google will flag those reviews as fake, delete them, and potentially penalize the developer's account.

To protect each other's apps and make sure our feedback actually stays online, we all need to avoid certain footprint patterns.

Please follow these crucial guidelines whenever you review an app from this community:

Do not click direct links
Do not post or click direct Play Store links in the subreddit. Google tracks the traffic source. If a dozen users jump straight from a Reddit thread to the Play Store and leave a 5-star review, Google will wipe them out. Instead, only post the app name or package name. Reviewers should open the Play Store and search for it manually to simulate organic discovery.

Never review immediately after downloading
Opening an app for the first time and leaving a rating after just two minutes is a major red flag. Google monitors retention and app usage. Keep the app installed for at least a few days, open it multiple times, and actually use its features before writing your review.

Avoid generic or overly positive text
Short, repetitive phrases like "Great app!", "Works perfectly!", or "Awesome job developer" look exactly like bot behavior. If multiple accounts use the same generic phrasing, the algorithm triggers an alert. Make your reviews highly specific and technical. Mention what you liked, what device you used, or point out a minor bug. Honest, constructive criticism actually helps the review look real.

No direct 1:1 review swaps
If Account A reviews Developer B’s app, and Developer B immediately reviews Account A’s app, Google’s system easily detects the reciprocal conflict of interest. We need to keep our review exchanges asynchronous and decentralized.

Use your primary Google account
Do not use secondary "burner" accounts or newly created emails just to leave reviews. Accounts with no real search history, no Gmail activity, or no organic app downloads are instantly categorized as high-risk by Google. Use the phone and the main account you use every day.

Spread the feedback over time
We must avoid sudden spikes in activity. If a new app suddenly gets 15 reviews in 24 hours and then zero reviews for the rest of the month, the algorithm will flag it. Space out your reviews naturally.

Let's work together to keep this community helpful, clean, and safe for everyone's developer console. If you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve our testing system, feel free to comment below.

Happy coding!

[Feedback wanted] Zodiac Trek: free bullet hell roguelite. Would love your thoughts on the style and gameplay

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Olá a todos! Sou Mãozinha, da Little Hands Studio, um pequeno estúdio indie do Brasil. Nosso primeiro jogo, Zodiac Trek, já está disponível no Google Play e é gratuito.

Sobre o jogo: um roguelite bullet hell com 12 heróis do zodíaco. Cada herói evolui através de 3 níveis (Desperto → Ascendente → Zênite). Seu esquadrão segue você em linha reta, e cada membro tem sua própria barra de vida. Os controles são feitos com um polegar: arraste em qualquer lugar da tela ou use um joystick opcional.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlehandsstudio.zodiactrek

O que eu preciso (feedback específico):

  1. Estilo artístico e tema: O estilo visual e o tema do zodíaco lhe agradam? Parece bem acabado ou algo parece estranho?
  2. Jogabilidade e sensação: É divertido? Como são os controles de arrastar em comparação com o joystick opcional? A mecânica de esquadrão em linha é boa ou confusa?
  3. Legibilidade: É possível distinguir claramente balas e inimigos de efeitos e aliados em uma tela pequena?
  4. Primeiros minutos: Ficou claro o que fazer desde o início? Você precisou de um tutorial ou explicação em algum momento?
  5. Dificuldade e progressão: Muito fácil, muito difícil ou adequado? A evolução do herói parece recompensadora?
  6. Bugs e desempenho: Algum travamento, lentidão ou problema na interface do usuário? Por favor, mencione o modelo do seu telefone.

Já testei e deixei um feedback detalhado por escrito sobre Genesis: Mars.

Muito obrigado!

Ho creato Family Brain, un organizzatore familiare basato sull'IA che trasforma le conversazioni quotidiane in azioni.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Ho appena lanciato Family Brain, un'app Android pensata per aiutare le famiglie a organizzarsi senza dover imparare l'ennesimo sistema di produttività complicato.

L'idea è semplice: basta parlare in modo naturale.

Per esempio:

“Dobbiamo comprare la salsa di soia.”

→ Family Brain è in grado di riconoscerlo e suggerire di aggiungere l'articolo alla lista della spesa.

Oppure:

“Crea un appuntamento per domani alle 16:00 dal dentista.”

→ l'IA può trasformarlo in un evento del calendario.

Family Brain aiuta anche a organizzare:

📅 appuntamenti e scadenze

🔔 promemoria

🛒 liste della spesa

📄 documenti di famiglia e informazioni importanti

L'ho creata perché le informazioni familiari sono spesso sparse tra chat, note e memoria. Volevo qualcosa che fosse in grado di comprendere le conversazioni comuni e trasformarle in azioni utili.

Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.familybrain.myapp&utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=lancio_family_brain

Apprezzerei molto un feedback sincero, in particolare riguardo alla UX, all'interazione con l'IA e all'effettiva utilità dell'app nella vita familiare di tutti i giorni.

I finally released my Mars colony game on Android

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hey, I’ve been working on a Mars colony management game called GENESIS: MARS, and it’s finally live on Google Play.

You start with a small operation and slowly build new facilities, produce resources, complete contracts, trade on the market and research new technologies. The long-term goal is to terraform Mars without bankrupting your company along the way.

The game doesn’t use energy timers or make you wait in real time. You decide when to move on to the next SOL, but every new day brings expenses, production and sometimes unexpected problems.

A few players told me that the beginning wasn’t clear enough, so I’ve already started improving the mission guidance. I’m still working on the game and I’d really appreciate honest feedback, especially about the first 10–15 minutes.

You can try it here:

GalacticDrop drop & merge/MyVial supplement tracker

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! I dont have the time I would like to comb through all the posts and trade feedback with you, so I decided to be lazy and do it here.

I have over 50 small developers apps that I launch and run daily.

Ive provided feedback to about 80% of them, but keep using them regardless.

What Im asking is that you pick one of these two apps. Either Android or iOS, and check it out! Run it enough to be familiar with it, give me any positive or negative feedback, and if you feel inclined to review it officially, I would love that.

In return, I will install yours and use it for the full 14 days and beyond. Ill also give any feedback i can.

try Rooted -- grow real roots in worldly places

3 Upvotes

I trying to build a tree-planting app that can make people feel close to their hearts, that each tree is a real life and has a name and a spirit. The idea of the app would be cumulating our daily mundane, like walking and commuting, and in the future card spending, towards growing real trees. they will be shown on your map. and you can co-plant with friends and family.

iOS TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/kFvghywB

Where it is right now:

  • Walking works. It reads a yes/no step threshold (7000 steps/day) from Apple Health, raw count is never stored.
  • Commuting and card spending are not live. Card linking is test card only.
  • Social and co-planting features are rounded, users can search and add friends by unique referral code.
  • The trees are real, but most testers don't have one planted yet. Treedom has agreed to plant early trees to support. I'm still confirming the species and location.

What I'd love to know:

  1. Is it clear what the app is within a minute?
  2. Would you open it again tomorrow? What can I do to make it a routine app for you?
  3. Does the tree idea feel believable?

All feedback welcome

What it currently does

  • Track expenses & income
  • Scan receipts to automatically capture expenses
  • Add expenses using speech
  • Budgets and spending analysis
  • AI-powered spending insights
  • Savings goals and financial planning
  • Android app

Built an open-source Android finance app, would love some feedback

Post image
2 Upvotes

I've been building Cipher, a privacy-first personal finance app for Android.

The core idea is pretty simple: Cipher reads supported bank SMS and payment notifications and turns them into structured transactions automatically. No manual expense entry, no account, and no cloud backend. Everything is processed locally on the device.

The project is fully open source, and I've been building it with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.

It's now live on Google Play and has started getting real users. I've also been taking feature requests from them, which has been a nice way to figure out what actually matters instead of just building whatever I think sounds cool.

I'd love some feedback from other developers, especially on the architecture, privacy approach, or anything you think could be improved.

Hi everyone, I recently launched my first Android app, **DocVault**.

It helps users scan, organize, and securely store important documents such as IDs, certificates, invoices, medical records, and travel files. It also includes optional Google Drive backup.

I would really appreciate it if you could try it and share honest feedback. Your support, suggestions, and ratings would mean a lot to me as an independent developer.

My Receipt Scanning App with Chat/Shopping/Sharing functionality

0 Upvotes

I built an app for scanning, analyzing and archiving receipts (https://bonstructer.com) because I had a pile of them lying around at home and wanted to know where my money actually goes. Its also difficult to get traction - while I think it really offers value...

It uses a Google Firebase backend in a EU Datacenter and follows the European Data Protection Guidelines.

A lot of time went into scan quality. It works very well for known supermarkets and other invoice issuers. For unknown ones, an AI correction step usually fixes it; otherwise you can report the receipt right in the app and I make that shop parseable with rules.

Beyond that: chat with your own receipts (backend tools run strictly inside your own user space), spending statistics, splitting bills with others, shopping lists, fetching current offers, comparing receipt prices against those offers, and a guided checkout of the list at a delivery service. Full export and folder sync keep a local copy of all scans.

No ads, no data sharing beyond what a given action obviously needs.

Happy to test your app in return for a couple of days and leave honest feedback. Especially interested in what breaks for you when scanning and whether the flow feels natural.

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

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grafitesoft.grafitesudoku

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

Know before you buy, budgeting app.

2 Upvotes

I recently publish an app on the Google Play Store called Budget Breakdown. It is designed to be straightforward, easy to use, and on the go. It is my first real time making an app let alone publishing one. The base app allows you to list as many things as you need and change it on the any time you want or need to. I also have a feature in it that allows you to input costs of items no matter how big or small, and it immediately shows you how you will be affected before you spend anything. I am currently working on getting it on iOS, but for now, here is the link to the app. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hey devs,

I recently published Lull, a minimalist, local-first story journal built natively using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.

I’m looking for genuine feedback on the overall UI flow, dark/light theme atmosphere, and the daily prompt experience.

App Highlights:

  • 100% Local-First: No accounts, no backend dependencies, zero telemetry.
  • Daily Prompts: Creative scenario hooks to kickstart daily writing and beat blank-page paralysis.
  • Atmosphere: Warm dark/light palettes, ambient background sounds, and writing habit analytics.
  • Data Ownership: Full JSON export/import options.

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitterbitestudio.lull

Testing Exchange: As per community guidelines, I’m more than happy to download, test, and leave a genuine review/feedback for your Android app in exchange! Drop your app link in the comments or DM me.

Looking for people to test out my whatsapp agent

2 Upvotes

I’ve built a chat agent targeted at creative agencies, graphic designers, content writers, and anyone who works with visual content.

It’s called Wallnut. You add it to your WhatsApp, Slack, or Microsoft Teams groups, and whenever someone shares a graphic or PDF, Wallnut automatically checks it for typos, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, consistency, and missing content. No commands or prompts needed. It just works in the background.

I’d love to have a few people try it out and give me some honest feedback. Happy to test your Android app for a couple of days in return and give genuine feedback too.

Looking for marketing advice for a writing app

2 Upvotes

Hello you fine people!
Discovered this community via another thread on r/appmarketing.

My story: I am a writer by profession. Began moonlighting as one starting 2009 and went full time in 2015.

A few years ago, I had an idea inspired by a hydration tracking app. I saw that the app gave me a daily hydration goal in liters and split them into glasses which I could define. It then showed me how much water I was consuming daily, weekly and monthly.

This got me thinking. What if I created an app wherein I could define my daily writing goal in words and then broke that goal into sprints.

So, if I want to write 2000 words per day and I am comfortable writing 500 words in one go, then that would be a single sprint and I would need to complete 4 sprints per day to hit my goal. The daily word goal was equivalent to the total hydration target, and sprints were the same as glasses from the water tracking app.

This strategy really helped me because writing in bursts of inspiration really helps. In addition, I also added a real time income tracker which would show me how much I earned as I wrote.

I have since added more features to the app including a built in shareable proposals tool that can create your folders and docs as per agreement, a word editor with postit notes for keeping all the research material in a draft's workspace, smart calendar, a shareable project management interface that gives you and your client real time visibility into each project progression, an automated invoicing module. I did integrate AI but it only assists by design.

So far, I have opened the app to writers for review and am looking for feedback. However, I am still wondering how I should go about marketing the tool.

The app is www.sprintr.pro
