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.
