chatgpt keeps recommending my competitor for almost every question. i've outranked them on the app store, but i'm sure they're making more money than me.

i had a really bad one month test.
my paywall previously offered monthly and yearly plans. one month ago, i added a weekly option.
after one month, almost all monthly subscribers shifted to weekly, some yearly subscribers did too, and my refund rate increased by 3 percentage points.
i also lost around $3,000 in potential monthly revenue.

i've seen something like this on tiktok for the first time.
not many views, but i'm happy with it.

after 10+ years as a contractor for the same company, their attitude toward me has become increasingly disrespectful over the last 3–4 months.
maybe the ai hype has made them think they no longer need me. their behavior is getting close to workplace bullying.
i make 5x more from my apps than i do from them, yet i still spend 3x more time on their work than on my own apps.
i stay because i believe in diversifying my income and, more importantly, because i genuinely enjoy the work.
but after more than a decade, seeing how people's attitudes can change is heartbreaking.
once the blind can see, the first thing they throw away is their walking stick.

if i see a very beautiful woman or a very handsome man in an x profile picture, i immediately block them.
we're all ugly bastards here. take your ai characters to instagram, clowns.

many say that if your apps rely only on ads and have no organic visibility, you're not safe.
i see it the opposite way.
speaking about apple ads, if you have a well established and optimized setup, even new advertisers will struggle to compete with you.
sure, bids will increase and you'll lose some impression share. but if your setup is good enough and has been running for a while, you'll likely maintain an advantage when it comes to average cpt.
of course, a competitor with a big enough budget can always make things difficult, both in organic and paid search.

i've created 3 animations with opus 5.5 for tiktok, instagram reels, and youtube shorts.
tiktok is getting around 1,500 views per video, with 200+ likes in total.
on instagram reels, one video has over 1,000 views, while the others are around 100 with a few likes.
youtube shorts are getting around 200 views each, with no likes so far.
i still think tiktok is the best platform, especially since over 95% of my viewers are from the us.

after months, i finally posted a new tiktok video.
not promoting anything this time. just trying to build a following.

the things i'm truly passionate about don't get approved by apple 😅 so i have to keep working on boring stuff.
In my opinion, probably the best advice about building apps in 2026 is to build something that you are truly passionate about and something that you would use yourself every day. You should be able to release a solid MVP under a month.
If your product is good, it will get reviews and good reviews will boost your ASO standing.
On the other hand, you can't marry your product. If you're consistently failing with it, time comes to let it go and move on to something different.
Keep building, keep iterating and you will make it.

i agree with that. i checked this new search results asset, and it's definitely a cr killer. it tells you nothing until you visit the product page.
have you asked yourself WHY they're so eager for you to add Product page header and Search results banner?
it's literally the default in the console, before Screenshots even
👇🏼 here's what I think

hey @TryAstroApp, what's the difference between suggestions like these?
some keywords (us, 20 popularity)
[some keywords] (us, 23 popularity)
they have different popularity scores, but the app store doesn't support exact-match searches using "" or [].
i also don't think anyone would use square brackets when searching.
just curious, what does the one with square brackets represent?
