Add an app to the list

Paste any App Store link or type an app's name. You get a free teardown, and its ideas show up here.

How it works

  1. Someone runs a free App Teardown. It reads the app's latest App Store reviews.
  2. The teardown pulls out what users ask for, what they complain about, and the gap a new app could fill.
  3. This page gathers those ideas from every teardown and groups them by App Store category.
  4. Pick an idea, open its teardown, and read the real reviews behind it before you build.

How to use this list

Say a habit tracker's reviews keep asking for Apple Watch support, and many people complain about the paywall. Its card here shows both. If other habit apps get the same requests, that's a sign the need is real.

Next, check the reviews behind each idea. Count how often it comes up, and look for signs people would pay.

Questions people ask

Where do these app ideas come from?

From Synthiya's free App Teardowns. Each teardown reads an app's latest App Store reviews and pulls out what users love, hate and ask for. This page collects the requests and gaps from every teardown.

How fresh is this list?

It updates every hour from our teardowns. Each card links to its teardown, which shows the date of the reviews it read.

Can I add an app to the list?

Yes. Run a free teardown of any App Store app. Its ideas show up here soon after.

Is a feature request a good app idea?

It's a starting point. A request that shows up in many reviews, across several apps, points to a real need. Check how many people ask, and whether they would pay, before you build.
