Hey community, this is my first application ever built. can my community be the first testers and users

i don’t know if the idea behind this app be useful for some. i wanted to iterate on that idea so i built it. i would love to hear feedback from my community. on anything that you find.

This is the link: https://xt-27616.bubbleapps.io/

Hey @aneetkesi :waving_hand:

For me personally, there was way too much reading. I tried the ‘see how it works’ and I lost interest after a few clicks. :man_shrugging:

thank you for the feedback @J805 . Appreciate your time. I am going to work on that.

Hello @aneetkesi, checked out your app — great concept!

A few things I noticed:

  • The email address input at the top doesn’t seem to be working.

  • Some forms and inputs aren’t very clear on what to enter — adding placeholder examples could help.

  • Might need padding and shadow adjustments to make the UI cleaner.

Overall, it looks good, just some bug fixes needed. Really promising work — hope this takes off!

Thank you man @georgekariuki49 for looking into it. good suggestions. i will be fixing them right now.

Hey @J805 @georgekariuki49, just fixed your recommendations. Again i appreciate your time. Working on on some @georgekariuki49 suggestions on design.

It needs work.

Not even sure what your headline means: Know yourself in days, or something like that… makes no sense.

You need to work on your copywriting.

A whole paragraph can fail, and yet a single sentence can drive results like crazy.

I’ve studied copywriting for years on the side and realize what an impact it has. It can take a nothing app and turn it into the world’s best.

Also, the responsiveness is not good.

Over 50% of people will be on mobile devices. Take some time to fix that.

Hi @aneetkesi
Ok i was about to ask the exact same thing for my app. So dont take this personally but just some quick observations…

Your landing doesn’t “hone into why” sure I want to be a better version, but after scrolling down I only got depressed on that I’m 66% through my life, and hadn’t even released ym first app on Bubble yet…

  • See how it works and Try app dump me in the same place, with only one way forward, no way to get back to your home.
  • The pages after clicking either of the above, besides not having a way to go back (w/o browser), the navigation to move forward is only on your link text in the lower right. Change that to the whole element/box, this way the user can easily click (which will either get you, the people who are only half curious and don’t want to have to get their glasses, your text target is tiny, but also the people who don’t want to go down the rabbit hole to try and figure out how the app will give them a better version will tap the screen in frustration and this gives you one more chance to hook them.
  • Said rabbit hole is long, As others commented, way to much reading, what about a video? Or a carousel with your text flipping through your text.
    **Also when the tap to continue, moves becauset eh box size changes, this requires me to change focus from reading, to finding that little target to tap to continue, one more chance I’m leaving…
  • Also as a over OCD freak, should the “t” in “tap to continue” be capitalized? (IDK, its an actual real question, since had similar questions, lol.)
  • Once I got down the hole, your next questions where you want a response, maybe make it so once the user selects an answer, the page should navigate to the next. (But then also maybe give me a back/previous function so I can change my answer, yeah we all know it happens lol)
  • The animation of how the elements enter the screen are different it seems, the first tap to continues just appeared where as the questions seem to fade in from the left and out to the right, but it is so fast my pos laptop cant focus on it and just give a little flash/flicker.

Take it or leave it but think the little things like this will turn a user away.
It really does seem interesting app, but still not sure how your app will give me a better version, at least a teaser.
I would work on your landing page, and since we can assume everybody wants to be a better version of themselves, maybe touch on either the how to get there, or the puppies, rainbows and sunshine that Ill get after using your app. But then I have the exact similar issues….especially on the landing page. (Think all that ‘Hook’ stuff in marketing, should touch on that a little above the fold so I would be inclined to scroll down.)

LMK, since I may be calling to do the same with my app, I am about to release my MVP and need to dot my Ts and cross my eyes.

Listen when I tell you this…

your app is a disaster and won’t work until you change some things like the copywriting.

I’ve worked with apps for 10 years.

You can disregard my suggestions and continue if you want… but, I’m telling you it won’t work

real suggestion @senecadatabase , appreciate it. It will open my mind if i get a example of what or how it should have been. Thank you for the suggestion.

Detailed suggestion @knockavideo . thank you for pointing “how your app will give me a better version” . Definitely i need to work on this. I am fix all your UI suggestion. Thank you again for pointing out things and giving your time. Thanks again

Yes, you are correct.

I was in a hurry yesterday and should have waited to comment until I had the time to give you better feedback.

I took a few minutes this morning to give you some quick suggestions…

Other than things like the header shows the content behind it before it disappears (the header background should be white like the page)… the biggest changes need to be in the wording and the flow.

Right now, the site feels hard to understand. That drives users away.

Users don’t stop by to solve the mystery of what your app does. They want to know immediately what it does and what they get out of it. There’s too much competition with other apps to expect them to search for answers.

You need to be brief and get the purpose of your app across immediately without trying to be cute or philosophical.

A big issue (for me at least) is the headline:

“Know yourself in your days”

It’s not clear what the app does. I had to stop and think about it, which is usually a sign that users might not “get it” in the first few seconds.

I think this could be improved a lot by making the action plus the outcome clearer.

On the flow side, I think the content is out of order.

Right now, it leads with more abstract/philosophical copy, and only later explains how the product actually works. You shouldn’t assume users have stopped by for a lesson in philosophy because usually, they’re just there to see what the heck the app does.

What do I do here?

What do I get out of it?

The “Start simple” section answers that, so I’d strongly consider moving that much higher, like right under the hero.

Clear headline (what it does plus benefit). Something like…

headline:
Track your days and see what actually makes them good

subhead:
Rate your day in seconds, add a quick note, and start seeing patterns in what makes your days good or bad.

Then a quick “how it works” (rate your day, add note, see patterns).

Show an example: A week of tracked days (green/yellow/red)

A note or two

A simple takeaway like “days with good sleep are consistently better”

That makes what the app does click without the user having to rack their brain to figure out what it does.

It just feels like the whole purpose of the app is hidden behind an attempt at cute wording and fancy UI.

If the first few seconds clearly show what the user does and what they get, I think this would be a lot better.

If you showed the hero section to someone for just a few seconds and then asked them what the app does, they should be able to tell you.

Good luck with your project

Thank you for pointing that out @senecadatabase . Thats right, i was being philosophical first and then talking about the use case. Am fixing that.

hey guyz, i added -ELO , my ai bot to my application. check it out.

@senecadatabase @georgekariuki49 @knockavideo @J805 i did some improvements based on your suggestion, i also have added ai into application. for all community members ..

Here are a few more suggestions. Definitely going in the right direction. So keep it up.

At a very high level:

  1. Still looks messed up when viewing on a phone.

  2. The lowercase and uppercase words not being consistent drives me crazy.

  3. Way too much text/words on the page. Get to the point. You don’t need a lot of words. See how much you can remove from it.

I think I know what your app does now at least. So that is good.

Hope that helps. :blush:

Your page still needs some work.

The goal of copywriting for your content is not to have someone say it looks good… if that’s their answer, then you’ve lost.

You want them to ask how they can immediately sign up and start.

It’s like if you produce an ad and ask your friends what they think. If they say it looks good… you’ve failed. If they say where can I get this now, you have a good ad.

Anyway, your page is very sterile with a lot of attempts at ‘cute’.

I would suggest, if nothing else, you take a screenshot of your whole page and ask ChatGPT to do a review. It will give you some good insights into what you need to change.

You can also upload the whole screenshot to Gemini and do the same…

it will give you a place to start.

Both of them you can continue asking questions and continue to get help.

Short of hiring someone with experience at taking a company from zero to hero… this is your best option

Really appreciate your time again, guys. @J805 and @senecadatabase , this helps a ton. I’m fixing the UI and make the landing page more product-focused. I’ll be back soon with a much better version! Fingers crossed, you guys are gonna like it!

Yes, your first mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get users to use your app and fall in love with it :smiley:

Rethink your whole approach.

No jargon pollution with things like 21 pillars of psychological mumbo jumbo and 7 steps to finding the true meaning of life and zzzzzzzzzzz.

I’m sorry, you were saying? :sweat_smile:

Imagine if a user opened your app and all they saw was: Good Morning, Bob! How are you feeling today?

then… a sad face, a neutral face, and a happy face.

They clicked one, and a monthly calendar appeared with today’s date highlighted in green with a happy face (if that’s what they picked). Then: ‘Way to go, let’s keep the streak alive.’

You can then go from there and make the app awesome.

You’ve accomplished getting the user to use the app right away. They clicked something and committed.

The above is just a very quick off the top of my head example… but hopefully you get the idea I’m trying to convey.

This is one way Uber got big. ‘Where are you at and where do you want to go?’…

then, hey, how about saving that trip, and on and on from there.

no big long explanation about GPS tracking and saving your trips right away.

Good luck with your app.

Added: Of course, at first, they would be logged out, so it would be “Good morning, guest.” You get the idea. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Yeah, @senecadatabase has the right idea. That would be much better. Simple, to the point, and you can see what it does right away. No guessing, reading a book, or losing interest. :raising_hands:
