finished the purchase-abandon survey for SignalFind.
now when someone taps buy, opens Appleās 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
- theyāre not convinced itāll work
- something else stopped them
or just tap āNot Nowā.
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 Appleās purchase screen, but didnāt complete the purchase.
I could start changing the price or paywall based on guesses.
instead, Iām 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.
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 š
Still, seeing the first renewal is probably the best signal Iāve had from the app so far.
Never ever obsessed with features, build core and launch. I would not say ugly or buggy, but launch the core with a perfect result, and improve as you learn.

doing ASO research for SignalFind made one thing clear:
the biggest keyword isnāt always the best one.
"bluetooth finder" has more volume, but also much stronger competition.
Iād rather rank for a smaller relevant keyword than get buried trying to compete for the biggest one.
SignalFind already works for the core use case, both paid users so far were able to find their devices with it.
Iām still improving the accuracy and signal behavior, but the finder itself is working well.
helps you find nearby earbuds, headphones, and other Bluetooth devices using signal strength. apps.apple.com/us/app/signalā¦

got my second sale for my Bluetooth finder app š
I havenāt spent anything on ads or really done much marketing for the app.
so far Iāve 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.
thanks man, Iām only doing iOS aso for signalfind right now, mostly testing keywords, title/subtitle, screenshots and localizations. havenāt touched Play Store ASO yet.
