We are a team of mobile developers who create numerous mobile products and continuously test hypotheses, often requiring extensive competitive analysis. However, we found the initial research process time-consuming and challenging — you need to find apps, review and test them all, and then copy and paste all screens in a specific order, grouped by user flows or features. All of this usually takes a few days for a product manager or UX designer. Another challenge is that, due to the complexity of the process, such research is often done once and then rarely continued. Engaging the team and maintaining continuous competitor research involvement across the entire team is very difficult. We assembled a strong tech team around this problem and created a product where you can simply paste a link to the app you want to explore, and in a few seconds, you'll get a board containing all the screens of this app, broken down into user flows and features. After that, you can enable receiving regular updates of this app and set up Slack notifications to get instant messages about new versions and key changes in your competitors’ products. This is not only convenient for tracking competitors but also for top-level management to monitor updates to the product your team is making. While our product is still evolving, you can already try it. Parsing of one app is completely free for all users. We would be glad if you tested it and shared your feedback with us. If you find it valuable, consider supporting us further through purchasing, enabling us to enhance the product even more. Our global vision and mission are to make the product research process for mobile product creators as simple and convenient as possible, easily integrated into team processes, and providing valuable and actionable daily insights for continuous growth. Imagine being able to clearly see how any mobile product has developed version by version and trace its evolution and development vector—very soon, this will be available in Flowriver.

Comment highlights

Would it be possible to sideload an app as sometimes you would like to use it for documentation building and you don't have the app yet in play store

Love the concept! Have you considered adding a feature that allows users to compare user flows between different apps side by side? It could provide deeper insights into UX strategies.

Loved the idea and it solves the much needed problem. It just took a little bit time to finally see the results, but I am sure you guys are already working on it. I was curious to know what happens when a screen has more than one CTA (For eg- Add to Cart or Buy Now) , how do you show flow in that case.

Your product research tool is a valuable resource for streamlining app development processes. Congratulations on the launch!

This tool kinda solves one of the most important problem that UX designers face, amazing innovation but is it just for mobile apps?

Congrats on the launch! It's fantastic that it applies to both your own items and those of your competitors understanding the development of each edition is crucial.

Flowriver is such a clutch tool for app creators! 🌟 Super handy for mapping out screens and user flows. Just curious, how does Flowriver handle complex user interactions and edge cases in the app flow? Keep innovating! 🚀

I tried DashLane, but it was completely black 😅 https://play.google.com/store/ap...

🤩 Kinda like a next level mobbin.com ? So it actually downloads the app and navigates the app with AI?

This looks insane! How does it works if competitor apps is behind pay/login walls?

Nice work! Looks promising and potentially a good fit for my needs. Will definitely give it a closer look.

Getting a comprehensive app map with all screens and user flows in seconds? Yes, please! As someone who spends a lot of time on competitive analysis, this is going to save so much time and effort. Plus, the Slack notifications for updates is brilliant!

Great to see a product that streamlines app mapping. Have you considered integrating user feedback for further optimization?

Congrats @mikegoryunov and team! Wow, as a PM, who has to do a lot of competitor analysis, this is sick. Does this work for web apps? If it does, then this is absolutely amazing. PS: Love that the style/brand of your entire marketing site is such a good contrast to the quality of your product! Love it!
