Update - App is LIVE : My Journey to Build Daily and Launch an iPhone App in 31 Days

An update.

My 1st iPhone App is Live 🥳

Thanks to everyone who supported me.

Should have posted it a while ago, but was dealing with (funny enough) stress.
Thinking I could post updates on multiple platforms manually was a mistake :).

Kept consistency with my Daily Youtube Shorts videos (https://youtube.com/@nabutovskis).

Built the app and its now live on the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/destress-app/id6736910930).

And on Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/destress-app).

T̶h̶e̶ a̶p̶p̶ c̶o̶s̶t̶s̶ $̶1̶.9̶9̶ b̶u̶t̶ i̶f̶ y̶o̶u̶ w̶a̶n̶t̶ i̶t̶ f̶o̶r̶ f̶r̶e̶e̶, s̶e̶n̶d̶ m̶e̶ a̶ D̶M̶ a̶n̶d̶ I̶ w̶i̶l̶l̶ s̶o̶r̶t̶ y̶o̶u̶ o̶u̶t̶.

Update : After talking to an ASO expert - I made the app FREE.
