Show IH: I launched an MVP to solve a problem I personally hated
While validating product ideas, I kept running into the same frustrating problem:
Understanding why users hate an app means manually reading hundreds of repetitive App Store and Google Play reviews.
Across iOS.
Across Android.
For your own app.
And competitors.
It’s honestly miserable.
So I built AppRoast
AppRoast — paste any app and get an AI-powered roast based on real app reviews.
The interesting part isn’t summarization.
It’s pattern detection:
🔥 recurring complaints
😍 what users actually love
⚡ quick wins for developers
📱 iOS vs Android differences
📊 sentiment from real ratings
Right now it’s intentionally a small MVP.
I’m validating whether people actually care before investing heavily into the full vision.
To keep things fast (and free), AppRoast currently analyzes a focused set of recent reviews while still surfacing strong patterns quickly.
The bigger vision isn’t just “AI summaries.”
I’m exploring things like review monitoring, sentiment alerts, competitor tracking, automatic reports, and historical analysis — basically making app feedback something founders don’t have to manually babysit.
Would genuinely love feedback from other founders/builders here:
Would you actually pay to stop reading app reviews manually?
And if yes — what would matter most?
• monitoring?
• alerts?
• competitor tracking?
• deeper review analysis?
Curious if this problem resonates with anyone else building products.
nice one
This is a strong MVP because the pain is very specific. App reviews are technically public feedback, but in practice they are too noisy to use: repeated complaints, platform differences, buried feature requests, and competitor signals all get lost unless someone manually reads hundreds of reviews.
The bigger opportunity is not “AI roast.” It is turning messy app-store feedback into a product decision layer for mobile founders. Monitoring, competitor tracking, sentiment shifts, and quick-win detection all point toward something founders could actually keep running weekly, not just use once.
That is also where the naming becomes important. AppRoast is catchy for the MVP, but it may trap the product in a funny one-time roast frame. If the bigger vision is review intelligence and competitor feedback monitoring, Beryxa.com would feel more serious and SaaS-grade than a name built around roasting.
Love the positioning 😂
“Your users are angry. Here’s why.” immediately made me try it.
The roast framing is fun, but underneath there’s a pretty useful founder tool here.
