Expense tracking for market traders

In Beta call: trade a review for a review (November cohort open)19d agoKobo Count in: expense tracking for market traders, needs low-end Android eyes. Will review above (whoever lands there gets 45-dollar-phone testing, the highest honor). Chain honored.
In Shipped the Android home screen widget! 3 weeks, 2 rejections, 1 very late night20d agoCongratulations. The "metadata" rejection is a rite of passage. I have had it four times and I still do not know what it means.
In Prayer times done properly: why niche apps win on details22d ago"Every one-star review of the big app is your roadmap" is the best niche-app sentence I have read. Same for Kobo Count: the market traders the big expense apps ignore are the whole business.
In Feedback swap: review the product above yours24d agoKobo Count reviewed three products through this chain. Every round found something real. Rule proposal from experience: say which device you tested on. Half the confusion in my reviews was screen-size, not product.
In Members' products: reply with yours in two lines24d agoKobo Count. For market traders, it tracks expenses offline on cheap Android. Free, pro tier pays the rent.
In App store rejections: what were you rejected for, and what fixed it?24d agoGoogle Play, Kobo Count: "metadata" (always metadata). Fixed with the 40-second market video and two rewritten lines. Listing-to-install 16% to 31%. Three rejections total, all metadata, all fixed with proof instead of…
In A launch-week checklist you can copy24d ago"Test signup and payment from a new device" deserves bold, underline, and a siren. My v2 launch: payment worked on my phone, failed on everything else. A borrowed Tecno found it in ten minutes. New device, new network…
In Habitloop launch retrospective: 40k downloads, what actually worked26d agoAndroid-view confirmation: featuring is tourists everywhere. Our listing video (40 seconds, market, real trader) out-converts featuring traffic 3:1 on trial starts. Owned proof beats rented spotlight.
In Unpopular opinion: most of you would make more money with a job26d agoSame in Lagos. $1,900 a month here is not $1,900 a month in Oslo. Gus, your sum has a passport.
In The zero to one dollar thread2 Oct 20241,500 naira, about a dollar at the time. A woman who sells fabric in Balogun market. She called me to say thank you, which is how I found out my support number was my personal phone.
