Show IH: Daily Vibes (iOS)

By getaclue00
February 8, 2018

If you saw my posts back in October or December then you might have seen some early ideas of this project.

Hackathon and Kickstarter later, I wanted to finally share it with you.

✅ Totally Native 🌶 Made on Apple for Apple.
✅ Totally Fast 🚀 Just Swift and nothing else.
✅ Totally Indie 🤪

I'll eventually get to making videos and all of that promo stuff but the App description quickly shows you what it can currently do <3

Give it a shot, see what it can do, and keep checking for updates =)

Oh and it is available in English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish right out of the box 👌 I want to make it as accessible as I can.

Check it out @ https://geo.itunes.apple.com/app/id1332324033

Cheers,
Alex

      Some very quick feedback:

      1. Nice icon!
      2. Why are there 3 different app background colors or themes in 4 screenshots? To show that there are different themes available, or are screens UI a bit inconsistent?
      3. Your app title ("Daily Vibes") and your subtitle ("You can improve your life.") say nothing about your app. From the search results, I have no idea what this app is about. Plus, you lose all the ASO power of titles and subtitles: any word has a HUGE weight in your rankings. You are not leveraging this potential :-).
      4. Then I open the app page and read the first 3 lines of the descriptions, the only lines that appear without clicking "More": I still am not really sure of what the app does. Definitely a quick and easy improvement to do there.
      5. First screen: "You can add a new to-do to get started": I intuitively looked in the top right corner to look for an Add button, before realising it is in the tab bar. No big deal though, might make sense.
      6. A detail, but I love details: when leaving the Add page, the keyboard stays open for 1 second. Maybe try calling textField.resignFirstResponder() or view.endEditing(true) in viewWillDisappear?
      7. Progress tab: year progress: 13% completed. Interesting! I thought this was the % of to-do I had achieved though, so there is maybe a possibility for better phrasing.
      8. In settings, the Made in Toronto cell should not be selectable since it's not a button (its background become gray when we click, but nothing happens).
      9. Bug: if I click "Please rate Daily Vibes", the cell gets selected but nothing happens. If I then click another settings option, the App Store opens to leave a review.
      10. The three dots button is unclear. If these are filters, you could use a filter icon. And the top-tight corner button that appears once I get to that page, and that seems to show more filter options: could you combine those filters on one page, with a section section to your TableView?

      All these are very small details you can improve but the app is great! Congrats!

        Thanks @kevinq !

        1 - Thanks =)
        2 - Yup, to show that there are four different themes that come out of the box that are compatible with all iPhones (including the highly wanted Night Mode for iPhone Xs).
        3 - Yeah thank you for bringing it up =) It seems to be a noticeable problem because several people brought it up to me. I am aware of this and there is a challenge for a few reasons. But, basically, the main reason is that I haven't had a chance to think about this. hehe =) Any tips on looking up store engine optimization?
        4 - Same as #3 =)
        5 - Yup I understand, but I think as the phone use and phone screen keeps growing, it is natural to keep your main action near the thumb. I don't agree with the top placement that we are so used to. But that is my feeling for now =) Who knows.
        6 - Good idea -- fixed it and will ship starting with next version
        7 - Any thoughts for fixing the phrase? Haven't had any suggestions yet for this =)
        8 - Fixed it -- will ship next version
        9 - Trying to fix... not sure why broken
        10 - Will put it on something to investigate =)

        Thanks man!!!!!
