I never do marketing for my apps. I tried it with a card scanner app a while back and I just didn’t see any return on my time.
Others do, so I think I’m just not good at sticking with it as I don’t enjoy it.
So today I created a mini website for one of my apps to try cash in on some SEO and LLM traffic and then created a developer Pinterest account too to auto post content linked to the site.
Bit of an experiment but let’s see if it drives downloads.
Second app submission this week 🚀
This is a full pickleball score keeper app complete with cool animations about learning the sport, rule books etc.
Apples payment system for iOS app developers is a mess. Always way higher than it will actually be on day one of the reports being published (maybe don't publish incorrect figures?!?) and then when you do get paid it's ALWAYS about £100 lower than it tells you in ASC because this is only ever an estimate. Complete guess work until it hits your bank. In 2026.
bored, let's try something new:
For $300 I will make you any iOS app (no games, and apps without a backend requirement only, no auth etc).
DMs open - cure my boredom
My Bone Identifier app now makes $125 in MRR plus about one lifetime unlock per month of $25.
This is an app I would never had thought had an audience.
You never really do know 🤷♂️
LIVE NOW 🚀 - VHS 3000 (v1.1)
--== THE 'FRESH PRINCE' RELEASE =--
📼 4 new VHS tapes to load, fill and watch
📼 New 90s bedroom to watch your tapes
📼 Eject saves the whole tape to Photos as one video
📼 Watch a tape back on a CRT before you save it
📼 Real zoom motor whirr recorded onto the track
📼 Tape hiss is now a slider, and all text is toggleable
📼 Much faster launch
A few more photos today taken with Photo 3000, the app that makes your photos look like a real film camera
Coming soon…
Some photos taken with my new app I’m building - Photo 3000
The idea is that too select a film stock, and you can only develop and see the images when the roll is full.
What a great launch, thanks to everyone for supporting this. This is now my main focus to bring more cool features and updates along the way 🚀
On that note, I changed the room that you can preview videos in, in the next release of VHS 3000. More of a 90s long summer vibe.
You can’t see this feature yet but hoping to get it submitted today.
In another universe, it was never called Breakfast Club anyway 😅
Made an app that allows you to record videos as though it’s recorded on VHS.
Been waiting for review for two weeks though 🙄. This one won’t be a subscription app, just a pay-once-and-keep app.
It’s called VHS 3000.
