Validate any app idea in 2 min with real user data.
I spent the last few months digging into app validation data. Here's what surprised me.
The painful truth about app ideas
Most indie hackers pick an app idea based on gut feeling, a quick Google search, or "my friend said he'd use it." Then they spend 3-6 months building, launch, and get crickets.
I pulled 1-2 star reviews from App Store and Google Play across dozens of app categories. The patterns are brutal:
Users complain about the same 3-4 pain points in every category, yet new apps keep ignoring them
The apps that succeed aren't more innovative — they just fix what existing apps get wrong
Most "validated" ideas are actually just confirmation bias — founders Google their idea, see a few positive signals, and call it research
What real validation looks like
When you cross-reference App Store reviews + Reddit discussions + Google search volume, a completely different picture emerges. Some ideas that "feel" great have zero search demand. Some boring-sounding niches have thousands of frustrated users begging for a better solution.
For example, "budget app" sounds saturated. But when you read the 1-star reviews, users are screaming about the same issues that no app has solved properly. That's a real opportunity.
What I built
I got tired of doing this manually (it takes 4-8 hours per idea), so I built — it pulls real reviews, Reddit posts, and search data, then scores your idea and gives you 3 concrete opportunities with MVP feature lists.
