Strongify
Easy workout tracker
Yesterday, the premium version of my app Strongify went free. I'm not a marketer so I was a bit apprehensive about posting it on Reddit, Twitter, Product Hunt, etc. However, what happened next went beyond all my expectations:
- More than 10 000 downloads in 24 hours
- Hundreds of positive feedback
- Lots of 5 stars reviews on the App Store
Thank you all for spreading the word and using Strongify. It's amazing to see your app used in so many different countries. I'm looking forward to publishing even more updates 💪
Exciting new features:
✅ Redesign of the workout screen
✅ New calendar screen to view your past workouts
✅ Awesome new themes
✅ Multiple charts
✅ Bug fixes

Users can now share their workout directly to their Instagram Story or to other social networks. This was a feature I personally needed but I also hope it will encourage people to download the app. You can try the new update by yourself here:

10k downloads just by posting it to Reddit, Twitter and Product Hunt? Impressive!
I'm going to release my own iOS/Android app and this gives me big hopes 🚀
I think several factors contributed to this:
This was the first time for me to expose myself and my product to so many people. I'm really happy how things turned out (even though my PH launch didn't wasn't that successful). I wish you good luck with your future launch!
The "apps gone free" promotion sounds like a great way for an app to get a visibility boost as well as downloads/ratings. Thanks for the tip!
Awesome, thanks for insight!
It makes sense, you hit right audience at the right time. Mine will be probably around Christmas 😅
If not an issue, can you share those "apps gone free" websites? 🙏
Not an issue at all. I got featured on these two websites:
https://appadvice.com/apps-gone-free
https://www.igeeksblog.com/paid-iphone-apps-gone-free
Thanks!
In exchange I found those in my bookmarks:

Didn't know about them. Thanks!
Thank for sharing. The "apps gone free" promotion is a great way. Thinking to use it for my app
No prob! Good luck with your app!
Congratulation, going to download your app now
Congratulations! That is a big number.
Well done
Congrats mate, nice work on the UI and animation.
Thank you!
When is it coming out on android?
Great result, congrats!
I wonder now, how you are going to make money on it if it's free?
Thank you! My main goal here was not to make money but to make the app known to the public. I will first focus on the existing users and their most requested features.
Got it! Good luck!
That's awesome news. The app looks beautiful too so well deserved!
Thank you!
That’s awesome! If you don’t mind me asking, what stack did you use to build Strongify? Did you use Swift or a cross-platform library like RN or Flutter?
I used Swift only
