I now have 2 apps with paying users.
pitchbuddyapp.com was the first.
Then SignalFind got its first sales too.
And now it just got a $10 renewal, taking the total to $30.
I know $30 is basically nothing as a business.
But this made me happier than the first payment.
The first time, someone was willing to give the app a try.
This time, they had a full month to use it, could have cancelled, and chose to stay.
PitchBuddy took me around 6 months to get here, and the revenue chart is still almost flat 😂
Still, seeing the first renewal is probably the best signal I’ve had from the app so far.
got my second sale for my Bluetooth finder app 🎉
I haven’t spent anything on ads or really done much marketing for the app.
so far I’ve mostly been working on ASO, improving the App Store listing, and sharing the app only a few times on X/LinkedIn.
3 new users in the last 7 days, 2 purchases.
small numbers for now, but seeing people find the app and actually pay for it without ads is pretty cool.
finished the purchase-abandon survey for SignalFind.
now when someone taps buy, opens Apple’s purchase screen and decides not to continue, they get one quick question.
they can tell me if:
- price is the issue
- they want to try it first
- they’re not convinced it’ll work
- something else stopped them
or just tap “Not Now”.
small change, but now I can make the next paywall decision based on actual user responses.
my last SignalFind app post on LinkedIn got 23K+ impressions.
65 people clicked through to the App Store and 7 new users installed the app.
the interesting part: almost all of them opened the paywall, tapped buy, reached Apple’s purchase screen, but didn’t complete the purchase.
I could start changing the price or paywall based on guesses.
instead, I’m working on a purchase-abandon survey that appears after someone cancels the Apple purchase flow and asks what stopped them from buying.
that should give me actual reasons to decide what I need to change next and improve the app based on user responses, not assumptions.

Built my first native iOS app in just 2 days.
It solves a simple problem:
- Scan for nearby Bluetooth devices
- Pick the device you’re looking for
- Use live signal strength to see if you’re getting closer or moving away
And I kept the pricing simple too:
One-time purchase. No subscription.
This was also my first proper experience building with SwiftUI after years of using Flutter.
Google just made Search Console way more interesting for people building an audience online
you can now connect platforms like X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and see:
- which Google searches found your posts
- which posts got impressions/clicks
- what content is actually getting discovered through search
almost 2 days. no response. no fix.
does anyone actually know how to get #Jio to respond?
