~2 weeks of running paid Apple Ads for Pigi 🎯 Spent ~$98/100 in promo credit 💰 - 76 installs - 19 trial starts - 1 trial converted ( after billing error ) - 2 still active - 2 monthly & 2 yearly canceled from failed billing 😭 - others cancelled immediately MMR so far: $5.06 😅 So for now not gonna put my own money into ads, will focus on Reddit and organic marketing next.

@Alexcanship I got lots of cheap trial starts from Poland but every single one of them either canceled immediately or got a billing error at the end of the trial 🥲

youre probably running apple search ads (asa) in the wrong country 🌍 same $1000 of spend: brazil = 65 paying subscribers 💰 the us = 15 cost per download: brazil $0.41 vs us $2.51 the cheap markets with normal ltv have insane roas 📈 even with higher pricing in us. will try out this for my apps soon. source: @adapty 2026 · 8000 apps Thanks guys 🫡

@lovestolead I had one of these and the it just disappeared 🤷‍♂️ also read somewhere that you can request to apple to remove it.

Ah, the old 1 star rating with no review. So helpful. Thank you random opinionated by silent stranger. 🙏🤦‍♂️ #buildinpublic #app #review

@mazentsalah yea happens a lot unfortunately. Sometimes they still convert though, all 3/3 of my active subscriptions converted after billing error.

3 billing errors is that normal?🥲

Added more languages to Pigi — Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Already got the first organic user from Korea. They started a trial and cancelled almost immediately, so not exactly a win 😅 but it was still cool to see localization actually bring someone in though maybe needs some more work haha

@arthursbuilds and how are the results now? I was thinking of doing the same for my app.

changed AppSprint ASO trial from 7d to 14d made no sense before tbh to really try the Apple Ads ROAS part you need to: - install the SDK - connect RevenueCat - publish an app update - wait for data with 7 days I was basically asking people to pay before they even reached the wow moment

@ChadAppDev And then suddenly best feeling 😮

Top 5 worst feelings

@soycastic Set up apple ads api and then let codex / claude code manage ads for you 😄 Much faster and much more organized by country and strategy etc.

Anyone familiar with Apple Ads? Why can’t I disable the Automated group? The checkbox is simply greyed out.

@mazentsalah Yea I had no results either until this morning when I woke up and saw 1 new trial got started.

@pegijs I also did ASO from the start, but results haven’t been promising, so I’m currently warming up my newly created US TikTok account.

I'm right there with you 🤝

@KegelMorseHero Organic or from ads?

@pegijs Here are my little kitties.

@mazentsalah Yea, doing ASO from the start and will try tiktok soon too, just need to figure out the setup first. I started with ads as it was free with the promo money from apple.

@pegijs Did you consider ASO and TikTok organic posting?👀 I am still exploring these two before jumping into Ads

@JKoretke Oh nice, I've started warming up a Reddit account as well, following mediafast plan so hopefully can get some traffic some day 😂

@pegijs Mostly waist list sign ups and 1 good reddit post.

@JKoretke Where did you find your users?

@pegijs That's pretty much exactly where I'm at hahahaha

@mazentsalah All these came from apple ads and when they stopped so did new trials 😭

@pegijs Consistency is hard 😅

@pluvioox Yea, not giving up so easily this time🙂

@pegijs Keep going bro u make the hardest part !!

@ChadAppDev 1 yearly and 2 monthlies for me. Funnily enough they all had billing errors, got cancelled after trial ended and then after a day or so I see they converted somehow 😅

@pegijs Way too similar 🤣🤣

Send me your startup. I’ll be the first user. If it’s good, I will invest $500k.

@roudyhermez React Native. it's great to be able to push out updates whenever I want and not have to wait on apple to approve.

📱 iOS developers and vibe-coders what do you use 🤔 - UIKit - SwiftUI - Both - None

Post a link to your app and I'll generate a free static ad that you can use on meta ads: (either in the benefit driven professional ad format or a natural UGC)
