Lol thanks for the response. I have unfortunately gone over this thread and others a ton, and also reached out to google, and they seem to not allow PO Boxes. There is a way to buy a physical mailbox that some people have mentioned and may

Yup. that seems like the unfortunate hard truth. It's just I am super early and wanted to make the app before competitors, but right now going through all the "company making process" would take a lot of time, and also some m

Thats the issue, asking users to download and use another store just for my app seems like it will not work out well, and I don't think any other store has the reach of google. Wish they would be nicer to solo devs. I would like to sta

Exactly, but they are pulling it from your payment profile section directly and so it probably has to be real..

They are pulling it off of the billing address you give in your payment profile.. so I think it has to be real..

Really? Online it said just paid but thats not good if its for free too.. Ya it isn't really completely hidden it just feels weird giving it out so openly to everyone. :/

Exactly, thats the main issue

Yes eventually I want to register as a company, but I am a little too early for that and Google is not allowing us to use a PO Box which is the main issue.. :/

I made a paid MacOS app called RestEyes. It helps users follow the 20-20-20 rule to help reduce eye strain when working on a screen for long hours, and provides a gentle reminder to look away instead of blocking the whole screen. I have rea

Will look into that for sure! Yes the timing is the challenging part of the app :) Glad you like it overall!

Thats great to know, will look into it - thx!

I agree, that is definitely an issue I need to address soon. Thanks for bringing it up!

Thats a good point! I only added a lock on the button that says "Click Me" and not the others - something I can tweak in an update :) I am really happy you like the app!! The only issue with tapping on the outside of the phone wou

I realize the issue of search with the name, will try to fix this. There is a haptic with success or failure, its just that if someone "fails" then it replays the sequence so they learn where they messed up. Thank you!

I literally did not realize that until I read this - sorry about that :/ - I meant to add it but forgot last minute!

Thank you! :)

Oh allow me to clarify. When you make a mistake, it plays an error haptic, and then repeats the sequence. As soon as you feel the error, there is no use in continuing to tap on the screen, because the entire sequence must be correct in orde

This is not something I have thought of before but is a great idea! Having levels would be great for something more structured like this. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for posting this - I understand everything you're saying as well and will definitely balance all the feedback I am getting when making changes in a future update. I want to preserve the aspect of the game where it takes a couple

Will look into it - and the overall grammar as a whole. Thanks!

I guess maybe not.. I think I understood the core of what you were trying to say though and I get where your coming from..

by appsDev 2y ago
I exactly understand what you mean. Thanks for your interest and I hope you enjoy playing!!

by appsDev 2y ago
Oh I didn't know that; thanks for the info. If I launch on Android will try to market the app to get the word out some other way!

The app is free with promo code, otherwise it costs 95 cents by default. :) If you want one here it is: PR3XEE3EMLP3 (To redeem, click on your profile icon, go to “Redeem Gift Card or Code” and enter the code. Each promo code is one time u

I agree thinking can be a nice distraction sometimes, even to the point that we lose all focus on what's happening in front of us. Depends on everyone's preference what they wish to use..:)

I agree if someone has a condition then that is different. I think the original comment was talking in reference to doomscrolling and people using their phones all the time when they don't need to, etc..

I have seen this tool before, definitely a great pick! I tried to make Tik! less stimulating than traditional social media, but of course physical objects are even more disconnected and have their own charm as well :)
