| Rating Count | Signal |
|---|---|
| >100K | Saturated — dominated by big players |
| 10K-100K | Established demand, strong competition |
| 1K-10K | Sweet spot — proven demand, beatable |
| 500-1K | Emerging niche — validate demand carefully |

| Field | How to Find |
|---|---|
| Name | App Store listing |
| Ratings count | App Store listing |
| Star rating | App Store listing |
| Price / subscription | App Store listing |
| Last updated | App Store listing — stale (6+ months) = vulnerable |
| App size | App Store listing — bloated (200MB+) = simplifier play |
| Developer | App Store listing — solo dev vs company? |
| Dev replies to reviews | App Store reviews — silence = likely abandoned |
| Trustpilot score | Search {app name} trustpilot |
| Estimated revenue | See references/revenue-estimation.md |
| Key features | Store description / screenshots |
| Top complaints | 1-2 star reviews on App Store and Trustpilot |
| Missing features | Compare across competitors |
| Privacy labels | App Store "App Privacy" section — data hungry = privacy play opportunity |
For each competitor, read the 20 most recent 1-star and 2-star reviews on the App Store. Categorize complaints into:
The most valuable complaints are missing features and UX frustration — these are problems you can solve. If the same complaint appears across 3+ competitors, you've found a validated gap.
When analyzing competitors, identify which archetype fits the opportunity. This sharpens positioning and guides the PRD:
| Archetype | Signal | Your Play |
|---|---|---|
| The Simplifier | Market leader is bloated, 200MB+, does too much | Focused app that does 1 thing perfectly |
| The Privacy Play | Competitors harvest data, require accounts | Privacy-first, local-only, no account needed |
| The Design Upgrade | Competitors are functional but visually dated | Same core features, premium modern UI |
| The Unbundler | Big app has 10 features, users only need 2 | Extract the 2 features into a clean app |
| The Combiner | Users always pair 2 separate apps together | Merge them into one seamless experience |
| The Localizer | App thrives in other countries, no US equivalent | Bring the validated concept to a new market |
| The AI Upgrader | Existing apps are manual/static | Add AI to automate or personalize the experience |
| The Lifetime Play | Users hate subscriptions in this category | Offer lifetime purchase where competitors don't |
Most successful indie apps fit one or more of these archetypes. Name the archetype in the opportunity report — it clarifies the "why you win" story.

## Step 1: Define the Category & Goals
Ask the user what space they want to explore. Help them narrow down:
- **Too broad:** "Health apps" (thousands of competitors)
- **Good:** "Sleep + anxiety apps for consumers" (specific intersection)
- **Good:** "Habit tracking for fitness beginners" (audience + niche)
- **Good:** "AI-powered journaling apps" (tech angle + category)
**Key questions to ask:**
1. What category or problem space interests you?
2. Consumer or B2B? (Consumer is easier to validate quickly)
3. Any budget constraints? (No-AI = cheaper to build, AI = higher ceiling)
4. Target revenue? ($1K/mo side project vs $10K/mo business vs $50K+/mo full-time replacement)
5. What's your timeline? (2-4 week MVP vs 2-3 month polished launch)
6. Do you have domain expertise or personal pain in this area? (Strongest apps come from scratching your own itch)

### International Charts
Check other countries for apps not yet available or localized for the US:
- UK: `apps.apple.com/gb/charts/iphone/...`
- Germany: `apps.apple.com/de/charts/iphone/...`
- Japan: `apps.apple.com/jp/charts/iphone/...`
- Australia: `apps.apple.com/au/charts/iphone/...`
- Canada: `apps.apple.com/ca/charts/iphone/...`
- South Korea: `apps.apple.com/kr/charts/iphone/...`
- Brazil: `apps.apple.com/br/charts/iphone/...`
### What to Document
Record the **top 25-50 apps**, noting:
- App name and chart position
- Rating count (proxy for install base — see [references/revenue-estimation.md](references/revenue-estimation.md))
- Star rating
- Price/monetization model (free, paid, subscription, freemium)
- Brief description
- Last updated date (visible on the app's detail page)
### Pattern Recognition
| Rating Count | Signal |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| >100K | Saturated — dominated by big players |
| 10K-100K | Established demand, strong competition |
| 1K-10K | **Sweet spot** — proven demand, beatable |
| 500-1K | Emerging niche — validate demand carefully |
| <500 | Possible new/underserved niche OR no real demand |
---
## Step 3: Community & Demand Research
Validate that real demand exists outside the App Store. See
[references/research-sources.md](references/research-sources.md) for detailed
search patterns and sources.
### Reddit & Forum Research
Search Reddit for unmet demand signals in the category. Look for:
- "Is there an app that..." posts with no good answer
- Complaints about existing apps (pain points users will pay to escape)
- Feature requests with high upvotes
- "I switched from X to Y because..." (switching triggers)
- "I'd pay $X for..." (willingness-to-pay signals)
### Google Trends Validation
Check Google Trends for the core problem keywords:
- **Rising trend** = growing demand, may not be saturated
- **Declining trend** = caution, avoid unless you have a unique angle
- Note seasonal patterns to time your launch (fitness peaks January, etc.)
### Web → Mobile Gap Detection
Search for opportunities where demand exists but no quality iOS app serves it:
- **Product Hunt:** Recently launched web tools in the category without native iOS apps
- **AlternativeTo:** What users are looking for alternatives to (dissatisfaction signal)
- **International apps:** Successful apps in other countries without US presence
### Indie Revenue Intelligence
Search IndieHackers and Twitter (#buildinpublic) for real revenue data from solo
devs and small teams in the category. Real numbers beat estimates. See
[references/research-sources.md](references/research-sources.md) for search
patterns.
---
## Step 4: Competitor Deep-Dive
For each promising niche area, deep-dive into 5-8 competitor apps.
### Data to Collect Per App
| Field | How to Find |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name | App Store listing |
| Ratings count | App Store listing |
| Star rating | App Store listing |
| Price / subscription | App Store listing |
| Last updated | App Store listing — stale (6+ months) = vulnerable |
| App size | App Store listing — bloated (200MB+) = simplifier play |
| Developer | App Store listing — solo dev vs company? |
| Dev replies to reviews | App Store reviews — silence = likely abandoned |
| Trustpilot score | Search `{app name} trustpilot` |
| Estimated revenue | See [references/revenue-estimation.md](references/revenue-estimation.md) |
| Key features | Store description / screenshots |
| Top complaints | 1-2 star reviews on App Store and Trustpilot |
| Missing features | Compare across competitors |
| Privacy labels | App Store "App Privacy" section — data hungry = privacy play opportunity |
### Systematic Review Mining
For each competitor, read the **20 most recent 1-star and 2-star reviews** on the
App Store. Categorize complaints into:
- **Bugs/crashes** — Technical issues (less useful for opportunity finding)
- **Missing features** — "I wish it had..." (direct feature gap signals)
- **UX frustration** — "Too complicated", "Can't find..." (design opportunity)
- **Pricing complaints** — "Too expensive for what it does" (pricing opportunity)
- **Broken promises** — "Doesn't do what it says" (trust/quality opportunity)
- **Privacy/data concerns** — "Why does it need my email?" (privacy play opportunity)
- **Subscription fatigue** — "Not worth the monthly cost" (lifetime pricing opportunity)
The most valuable complaints are **missing features** and **UX frustration** —
these are problems you can solve. If the same complaint appears across 3+
competitors, you've found a validated gap.
### Opportunity Archetypes
When analyzing competitors, identify which archetype fits the opportunity. This
sharpens positioning and guides the PRD:
| Archetype | Signal | Your Play |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| **The Simplifier** | Market leader is bloated, 200MB+, does too much | Focused app that does 1 thing perfectly |
| **The Privacy Play** | Competitors harvest data, require accounts | Privacy-first, local-only, no account needed |
| **The Design Upgrade** | Competitors are functional but visually dated | Same core features, premium modern UI |
| **The Unbundler** | Big app has 10 features, users only need 2 | Extract the 2 features into a clean app |
| **The Combiner** | Users always pair 2 separate apps together | Merge them into one seamless experience |
| **The Localizer** | App thrives in other countries, no US equivalent | Bring the validated concept to a new market |
| **The AI Upgrader** | Existing apps are manual/static | Add AI to automate or personalize the experience |
| **The Lifetime Play** | Users hate subscriptions in this category | Offer lifetime purchase where competitors don't |
Most successful indie apps fit one or more of these archetypes. Name the
archetype in the opportunity report — it clarifies the "why you win" story.
### Red Flags (Avoid These Niches)
- Top app has 1M+ ratings (dominated by a giant)
- Heavy regulation with approval requirements (medical devices, financial trading, kids' apps under COPPA)
- All competitors are free with no monetization path
- Category requires ongoing content creation to retain users (news, social)
- Apple has a built-in solution (Calculator, Weather, Notes) — hard to compete with free+preinstalled
- App Store review rejection risk is high for the category (see [references/app-store-review-risks.md](references/app-store-review-risks.md))
### Green Flags (Pursue These Niches)
- Top competitors have poor reviews (< 3.5 Trustpilot)
- Solo devs making $50K+/yr (proves indie viability)
- Editors' Choice app exists with low ratings (Apple promotes the niche)
- Users complaiSkill source recorded
