The #AI headshots niche is booming. Yet it's broken.

The top app pulls ~200k downloads per month, but its real avg rating from recent reviews is closer to 1.5★.

The #iOS app niche I am currently analyzing has a highly negative sentiment among reviewers.

Total reviews (last 365 days): 479
Average rating: 1.44★
Rating distribution: 5★:36 4★:5 3★:15 2★:22 1★:401

💩 84% with 1★

Can you guess which niche this is?
Hint: It is in the #AI space.

A mid-tier #iOS UV widget app makes ~$50k/month; the ceiling in this niche is around $100k/month.

The #1 tanning app makes $100k every month.

Its latest 127 reviews? ★3.0 stars.
Frozen timers. Glitchy setup. Pushy paywalls.

The money's there. So is the gap.

It took one app 3 months to break into the #iOS invoicing top 10.
The current leader has been there for over a decade.

In this market, #ASO math does wonders!

The top-grossing invoicing app on iOS makes $2M/month… but 64% of recent reviews are negative.

Is this an opportunity for an indie dev?

I break down the gap (and how to build a better app) in the first issue of "Next App Idea".
