Quick hack for AppStore pricing. If you use $59.99, just don't. Select custom price and set it to $59.00. Now you can show price per month as $4.99, not $5.00.

Sometimes I think all the wealth of mobile developers comes from the people who forgot to cancel their monthly subscription.

It's funny. Apple ruined accessibility in their OS with a new glass UI, but at the same time added an App Accessibility page to App Store Connect for devs.

Ok, Apple. No more flat design, gradients, glossy effects, shadows. I got it. Time to refine my old icons.

Really nice to receive such feedback. Getting real reviews on the AppStore is harder than I thought. Apple often does not publish real reviews when a user posts them too early. And my Fredbot helps to gather reviews at the right time.

Does a trial period in apps really boost sales? If the app's usage frequency is low, it can be questionable. I did an experiment:

I started monetizing one of my apps just a month ago on Google PlayStore. So far, 1.3k euro revenue, but there's a lot of room for improvements. It doesn't even have onboarding yet! I like the ARPU number: 23 euro. It means users see value and prefer a yearly plan.

I made an app banner network only for my own apps. I place a cross-promo banner into apps I don't monetize to promote my other apps. I can change the banner remotely from the server. Let's see how it goes.

So, I started experimenting with TikTok. So far, I'm getting a few hundred views per video on average. And I made one experiment—a parody video of Donald Trump using my app https://www.tiktok.com/@grammarplus/video/7485431677536242987 Here is some stats

So, I was surprised. I thought on Android nobody pays for apps. A week ago I launched subscriptions in my Android app and have already earned 623 euros. Good start.

People pay for solutions to their problems. When given a choice, they prefer solutions that require less effort and are easy to use. Therefore, design your products to be simple to use. However, achieving simplicity is actually difficult.

The good and the bad sides of switching from free to paid plans. BTW, I still leave a free tier with reasonable limits.

Being a solopreneur, I used to do everything by myself. With the help of AI, it’s a variable approach. But some things are better to outsource for sure. Just compare these two icons. Guess which one I created?

I don't use RevenueCat or Superwall. Instead, I built my own. I show paywalls and onboarding in a webview. It gives me super flexibility. For paywalls, I use Preact, which is super lightweight; the JS bundle weighs 80kb.
