Shipaton 2025 brought together tens of thousands of participants from around the world and resulted in some of the most impressive apps we've ever seen. Now it’s time to announce the winners!
Each episode, Charlie talks with indie app developers and creators about what it *really* takes to ship something new — from late-night builds to first downloads.
The stories behind the apps remind us of the magic and chaos under the hood of every app. youtu.be/xdb6OEHDOFs?...
- App Store & Play Store reviews - Competitor reviews (see what they get wrong) - Reddit, Discord, TikTok comments — all signal, no survey bias - Customer support tickets - Search queries
⚒️ Here's how to mine reviews for subscription app growth:
1️⃣ Separate reviews from ratings: filter sentiment vs. stars to identify feature gaps 2️⃣ Tag reviews by intent and opportunity 3️⃣ Borrow your users’ words for copy that builds trust 4️⃣ Use AI and LLM tools to scale analysis
⏰ Run pre-sales with real pricing 🚪 Test willingness to pay via fake door landing pages 💸 Experiment with a paid waitlist or founders’ offer 💬 Ask behavior-driven questions in interviews
🚀 Your AI assistant can now connect directly to your subscription data with RevenueCat MCP Server!
Ask your AI: • "Create a premium monthly subscription for my iOS app" • "Set up an entitlement called 'premium_features'" • "Configure offerings with monthly and annual packages"
1. Discover the job your users hire your app to do 2. Identify the trigger moment when they convert 3. Tailor messaging, timing, and urgency cues around that 4. Experiment and iterate — insights compound over time
Léa Samrani’s JTBD playbook helps you optimize paywalls based on what users actually want from your app — pushing those conversions from plateaued to profit. 💸
