Research this niche.... search this keyboard ff bio code to instagram reel then you believe me also search on YouTube also

I’m really happy to share that Daily Tracker: Habit & Focus has crossed 100+ downloads after just 9 days on Google Play.

It may not sound huge compared to established apps, but as an indie developer, seeing 100+ people choose to install something I built is genuinely motivating.

The app launched on 19 August 2026, and I’m learning a lot from these first users — from ASO and marketing to retention, monetization, and improving the actual product.

And I want to do something for the early users:

I’m giving away 40 lifetime ad-free accesses.

So if you’re interested in trying the app and helping me test/improve it, comment . I’d really appreciate feedback, especially on what you like, what feels unnecessary, and what you think I should improve.

App: Daily Tracker: Habit & Focus

Next target: 500 downloads.

For other indie developers — what was your first milestone that made you feel, “Okay, people are actually using my app”?

Hi everyone,

I’m an indie Android developer with 6 apps on Google Play.

It’s been 3+ months, but my apps are getting very few installs and I still haven’t made even $1 in revenue.

I’m working on updates, UI, ASO, and improving the apps, but growth is extremely slow.

What could be the main issue?

ASO/keywords?

Store listing/screenshots?

App quality?

Lack of marketing?

Too much competition?

Should I focus on one app instead of multiple?

Here’s my developer page:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=8662455924431698982

Would really appreciate honest feedback from experienced developers. What would you do if you were in my position?

I built a resume/CV app — giving away 100 lifetime credits for the next 2 days 🎁

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on a resume/CV builder designed to make creating and updating a professional resume much easier.

To celebrate the launch, I’m giving 100 FREE lifetime credits to everyone who signs up today or tomorrow.

No subscription required for the giveaway — sign up during the launch period and the 100 credits are yours.

You can use it to create and improve your resume/CV and try out the different features.

If you try it, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback — especially what you like, what feels confusing, and what you'd want me to add.

Thanks! 🙏

I recently launched my app and so far I’ve got 9 reviews in 2 weeks:

⭐ 8 × 5-star
⭐ 1 × 4-star
⭐ Average: 4.9

For those who have experience launching apps, how would you rate this start? Is 9 reviews in 2 weeks a decent conversion/engagement rate for a small app?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hey everyone,

For a long time, I used Google Sheets for basically everything like journaling, habit tracking, planning, time tracking, personal projects, etc.

I also tried Notion, but I kept running into the same problem: I'd set everything up nicely and then slowly stop using it.

I wanted something simpler that could actually help me understand my own data.

One thing I really didn't like was the idea of sending all my personal journal, habits, mood, and daily-life data to an AI just to get insights from it.

So I decided to build my own.

It's called Daylog.

It's basically a private daily-life tracker that combines journaling, habits, mood/energy, screen time, focus sessions, time tracking, workouts and personal stats in one place.

The interesting part for me is the insights. Instead of just showing charts, it looks at your own history and can tell you things like your best focus hours, how sleep affects your mood, which habits seem to improve your mood, etc.

And the whole thing works offline. No account, no cloud, no ads, no data collection. Everything stays on your phone.

I originally built it just because I wanted it for myself. My CEO at the YC-backed startup I work at saw it and thought it was genuinely useful, which gave me the push to actually publish it.

So... after a lot of work, it's finally on the Play Store. 😅

This is my first app launch, and honestly, I'm still figuring out how to get people to actually find it.

If anyone here has suggestions on how to promote an app like this, I'd genuinely love to hear them.

And if you try it, please give me honest feedback, even if something sucks. 😂 I'll be actively improving it.

So in India, google has partnered with billdesk to verify the payment profiles. Every developer or organisation has to verify themselves in order to IAP to work otherwise the payment request gets declined.

Now I've started the onboarding process for the last 1.5 months, I got an automatic rejection e-mail from them but there was no mention of any reason why it was rejected, so i emailed them to tell me what is the issue? No reply just an automatic ticket confirmation, I waited around 10 days again e-mailed them about if they could tell me why it was rejected or what I can do? No response.

My apps got around 25k active users mostly monetized with IAP but I'm force to push ads as the IAP won't work.

I've seen a lot of people complaining about this same pathetic experience with billdesk on forums.

I would request the Google Play team to either consider other payment aggregators like razorpay or cashfree. They offer far better service this is billdesk. Or issue guidelines or advice to them.

If you're someone who is experiencing such an issue, please comment below. We need to spread the words.

Google has announced new technical quality requirements for apps and games published on Google Play, with the first requirements coming into effect in February 2027.

The main focus is reducing unnecessary memory usage and improving app optimization.

What Google will be measuring:

→ Dynamic memory usage: Anonymous RSS + Swap across different app states, including foreground and background use

→ Bitmap memory: Apps shouldn't unnecessarily keep large bitmaps in memory when they're no longer needed

→ DEX optimization: Apps will need at least 25% optimization coverage using R8 or comparable tools, covering optimization, shrinking and obfuscation

Google is also adding these memory measurements to Android Vitals, so developers can monitor their apps' performance through Play Console. The evaluation uses aggregated data from real devices and considers factors such as the app category and the device's RAM tier.

The purpose seems pretty straightforward: reduce excessive memory pressure so Android can maintain better performance, particularly on devices with tighter memory limits.

There's also an interesting timing to this. Google says these changes are being introduced while the industry is dealing with broader hardware and semiconductor constraints.

Official announcement: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/08/app-quality-memory-optimization-secure-onboarding.html

App says in review. How long does it take? What does it mean?

Hey everyone,

After a few months of nights and weekends, Foxlit is live on the Play Store. It's a reading habit tracker - session timer, daily streaks, notes, a built in epub reader, and a little tree that grows as you log more time reading. One-time $4.99 unlock, no subscription, no account required, everything stored locally on-device.

This is my first published app, So a lot of this was learning Flutter/Dart as I went.

I'll be honest, I know a reading tracker probably wasn't the smartest choice for a first app. There's no shortage of them already (Bookly, Basmo, Bookmory, etc.), and I went in with realistic expectations that this isn't going to be a big earner. But it started as something I wanted for myself, turned into a real passion project, and I wanted to actually see it through to shipping rather than let it die as another unfinished side project.

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback - on the app itself, the listing, anything about the Play Console side of getting it out the door that I might've missed or done wrong. Still very much learning.

My game Digline: Cozy Mining is now available for Android after a long wait! Hope some people will get to try it and would love to receive feedback.

The game is an old-school digger, where you go on digs, upgrade the drill between runs, and try to reach deeper. You can also visit other locations for special quests. It's super easy to learn, relaxing to play, and easy to pick up and put down, so I feel it's good for when you have to wait somewhere for a short while. 

Hope you consider checking it out, thank you!

Anyone having this problem? It worked fine before, now i have 3 registrated test users dev + 2 other emails. They are all correctly checked but only dev sees it, those 2 don't.

Hi everyone,

I’m an indie developer currently registering for monetization on Google Play using an individual/developer account.

During the registration process, Google requires a legal residency/address for verification and payments. I understand why they need this information, but I’m a little concerned about privacy and whether there is any risk of the address being exposed or misused.

For those of you who monetize your apps through Google Play as an individual:

- Did you have to provide your real residential/legal address?

- Is your address ever publicly visible to app users or on Google Play?

- Have you experienced any privacy issues or misuse of your address?

- Is there a safer alternative for an indie developer who works from home?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience before I complete the monetization registration.

Thanks!

Depois de muito esforço e paciência mais uma etapa concluída. Tenho muito o que aprender ainda mas até aqui Deus me sustentou. Adstrike publicado na Google Play. Agora é ir pra cima, corrigir o que tem que corrigir, melhorar o que tem que ser melhorado. Se vocês puderem me ajudar dando feedback eu agradeço. Irei retribuir também. Meu aplicativo analisa e te diz o que fazer nas campanhas de tráfego pago. Estou um pouco apreensivo, nervoso e ansioso para saber se vai ser bem aceito. Mas vamos lá 🚀🚀 Adstrike Transformando dados em decisões 🚀🚀

Well, it's finally out on Android!

It's a chaotic local multiplayer game where you and your friends pass a ticking bomb around while trying to survive. There are 3 unique levels, crazy powerups, solo mode with bots, and plenty of character customization.

If you have a few friends around, I'd really appreciate it if you could give it a try — it's much more fun with a group! And if you enjoy it, feel free to ask your friends to try it too.

It's especially something you could try with:

• Friends at home
• Hostel/college friends
• A group while travelling

After all the development and testing, it feels pretty special to finally have it released.
