Uplift Indie
Real first reviews for indie apps, from indie devs
Launching an app with zero ratings is brutal. On Uplift Indie you book a day for your iOS or Android app, and on that day other indie devs download it and leave an honest review. You do the same for theirs. Free, and only for apps under 1,000 ratings.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Luca. I've shipped 7 indie apps, and every launch hit the same wall: on day one you have zero ratings, the big apps have thousands, and the App Store ranks you accordingly. Asking friends for reviews only goes so far.
So I built Uplift Indie, a review exchange that stays honest:
📅 You book a day for your app on a shared calendar (2 iOS + 2 Android apps per day). 🙈 Your app stays blurred until 00:00 UTC on your day, so nobody reviews it early. ⭐
On your day, indie devs download it, actually use it, and leave an honest review. You do the same for others and earn karma. 🐣 Smallest wins: if a day is full, an app with fewer ratings takes the slot from the biggest one. Only apps under 1,000 ratings can join.
It's free, and it's meant to get you past the "zero reviews" stage, not to buy fake ratings.
In the first week, 400 indie devs from 39 countries booked 240 apps!
I'd love your feedback, especially on how to keep reviews genuine as it grows. And if you have an app out there, drop it below and I'll go try it 🙌
