There are 8 apps on App Store called Kakeibo that are money/finance trackers, none of which have your website logo.

interesting. without an account, from my browser, I can see it in the fifth place. are you searching from your phone, iPad, laptop...?

but this checks out with my experience: extremely low visibility on the stores, I think I need to improve description/keywords and get more reviews. thanks for sharing!

    Or aim for different channels since the name itself isn't unique enough.

    I'm not sure I could click an App Store link on your page; either I couldn't, or I could and the button wasn't visible enough.

      Good point, I will make the links more evident and available in every page.

      On the use of other channels, I’m quite conflicted. I’m trying to optimise for ASO but it’s clearly not working, at least not without a considerable amount of reviews (who’s going to pay, even if it’s the price of a coffee) for something without any references?

      I did a small test with Google ads, but it was a disaster, with every click costing around $1, which would most likely lose me money with every purchase. Not sure if that’s a valid investment.

      Then social networks: reddit is already filled with vibecoded alternatives and as a user, it is really tiring to see one or two masked ads in every post. I don’t want to contribute to that. I think I could still contact some (micro)influencers to get some publicity in Instagram/TikTok, but I’m honestly so tired of that type of content that I’m not sure I want to go that way.

      Sorry for the rant :)
