🚨 A new chapter begins: Fix My Design Over the years, I’ve worked on product design across mobile apps, SaaS, and e-commerce. I’ve been part of both large companies and fast-moving startups, working as a freelancer and within in-house teams. A few months ago, I met @ozibuilds We quickly realized that we share the same mindset, the same approach to product thinking, and the same obsession with simplicity. 💡 That’s when an idea came to life: Let’s help products grow through better design. This is how Fix My Design was created, under the roof of App Genie We help live products become → simpler → clearer → and built for conversion. From now on, my focus is clear: 👉 Mobile app design. I’m working on improving user journeys, increasing in-app conversion, and simplifying the overall product experience. 🎯 Our mission is simple: Turn complex and underperforming interfaces into designs that actually help your product grow. For me, this is more than just another service. It’s a space where I apply everything I’ve learned to solve real product challenges. This time, I’m not just designing. I’m helping shape and build the direction as a design partner. Fix My Design is now live. If you believe your app has more potential, let’s improve it through better design. My inbox is always open 🙌

Don’t overdesign your app. You only need 3 things: - One crystal clear outcome - One frictionless flow - The guts to remove everything else That’s it. Most apps don’t fail because they lack features. They fail because they lack focus.

Congrats on the launch 🙌 Quick design notes that could lift CTR: - the icon feels a bit detailed at small sizes, so I’d test a simpler, higher-contrast version. - For screenshots, try fewer words and one clear benefit per slide (big headline, clean UI, consistent type). That usually reads more "premium" and converts better.

My newest app just went live! Fully ASO-optimized. If you’re interested in acquiring it, send me a DM!

Niche isn’t the cheat code. Retention is. Anyone can clone a focus timer. Very few can make you come back on Day 7.

Your app doesn’t need more users. It needs faster understanding. If a user can’t get it in 5 seconds: - they won’t read - they won’t explore - they won’t convert They’ll leave. Clarity is growth. Not features. Not animations. Not "one more screen." Make it obvious. Or make peace with being ignored.

Would I use it? Yes. Would I hate you on day 2? Also yes 😄 Soft lock + streak + reward might be the sweet spot.

Nobody talks about this: Most apps don’t fail because they’re bad. They fail because they’re forgettable. Nothing sharp. Nothing controversial. Nothing worth sharing. Just… another clean UI. If your product doesn’t make people feel something, they won’t talk about it. And if they don’t talk about it, it doesn’t grow. Safe apps don’t scale. They disappear.

Real or Fake? Might be the most sellable question in the app world. If structured right, it can make crazy money.

At App Genie, we’re proud to support a new platform: @letsflip_app - a platform redefining how mobile apps are built, scaled, and traded. @letsflip_app enables the buying and selling of revenue-generating mobile apps, connecting founders with investors. Glad to be part of the journey!

Brutal truth: Most founders aren’t building products. They’re building excuses. "Still polishing." "Waiting for the right time." "Adding one more feature." No. You’re just avoiding the market. Because once real users see it, there’s no hiding. No validation. No excuses. Just truth. Ship it. Or admit you’re not building, you’re stalling.

Most apps fail for a boring reason: The founders never use their own product like a real user. They test with: - perfect internet - unlimited time - full knowledge of the product Real users have: - 7 seconds of patience - zero context - one simple question "Why should I care?" If you want a better app, start using it like a stranger. Not like the founder.

Most app builders make the same mistake. They build the product first and think about distribution later. But the brutal truth is: A mediocre product with distribution wins. A great product without distribution dies. Before writing the first line of code, ask: Who will see this? Where will they discover it? Why would they share it? Building is fun. Distribution is survival. Most founders learn this too late.

@dmitryrechkin @ErnestoSOFTWARE 100%.

@serhandesign @ErnestoSOFTWARE Exactly, people are ready to pay for a solution and emotions

I swear consumers will buy anything💀 $400K/mo for an app that records you snoring you put your phone next to your pillow. it listens all night. That’s it.. 80,000 downloads last month. At this point, just launch whatever the only thing that matters is marketing.

Most builders treat App Store screenshots like design assets. They’re not. They’re sales pages. In 3 seconds the user decides: "Do I install this or not?" Your screenshots must answer instantly: 1) What does this app do? 2) Why should I care? 3) Why should I trust it? Not: - pretty gradients - aesthetic layouts - feature lists Clarity beats beauty. Every time. That’s why a small screenshot change can move: - CTR - installs - revenue Your screenshots aren’t decoration. They’re your first conversion funnel.

If you’re not running tests, you’re not designing. You’re guessing. Mobile apps are built on tiny decisions: Headline. Screenshot order. CTA text. Paywall layout. Each one can move revenue. The difference between a $1k app and a $100k app? Often just a few tested screens.

@maybeWahed @ayomide_des for monetization

@serhandesign @ayomide_des pretty sure the skip is for dev testing. doesnt make sense otherwise

Paywall design so good, your users wouldn't skip 🙃

If you’re looking for a product idea, listen to the questions people ask themselves during the day. That’s where the best ideas hide. "Am I okay?" "Is something wrong?" "Is this normal?" "How do I fix this?" "Can this be better?" People don’t buy products. They buy answers to these questions. (And yes, marketing still matters. But the question comes first.)

Most founders don’t have a marketing problem. They have a courage problem. They’re afraid to: – show unfinished work – say a strong opinion – ship something imperfect – look stupid in public So they hide behind: "Still building." Nobody is waiting for your perfect product. Ship it. Show it. Fix it in public.

Clean. Urgent. Effective. Your “Limited Time Offer” screen is probably leaving money on the table. Here are a few simple, high-converting examples you can steal.
