Hey everyone! We're super excited to share Tangerine with the community! 🍊🍊🍊 Simply put, Tangerine is a simple habit and mood tracker that helps you organize your routine, achieve your personal goals and reflect on your life. We're on a mission to deeply integrate habit and mood tracking in order to give people actionable insights on their life and routine. We've realized that people, in general, tend to feel better and happier when they actually have a healthier, organized routine. So combining habit and mood tracking was a no-brainer. At the end of the day, we not only want to help you be more productive, but also more conscious and reflective of your life. @rcdeveloper and I have been working remotely on Tangerine as a side project for the past 6-7 months. We had our first public beta at the beginning of November and we were able to attract 500 beta testers to help us shape Tangerine early on. We're incredibly grateful for all the feedback and support we've got from them in the past couple of months — thanks to these amazing humans, Tangerine is a much better (and rapid-evolving) app today :) Happy to answer any question you might have and I'm particularly looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback on our little app!

@pddro cheers, Pedro! :) Thanks a lot for your comment! 🍊🙌🏻 As for your question regarding beta users, we added a sign up form in our landing page and launched it a month or so after we started building the app. Then we shared the landing page on our personal social media accounts (Linkedin, Instagram, etc). When we launched our beta a couple months after that, we removed the sign up form and added a “Join our beta” CTA there instead. We then shared again on social media and also on reddit this time. Hope that helps! ☺️

@marques_ph That's awesome! We've slowly built a newsletter over the years through launching various apps. It's our go-to for beta testers. We usually get around 100 testers like that, not much, but always great having outside eyes providing fresh perspectives. We'll be launching a new beta test in the coming weeks and will test out incentivized invites to get people to sign up to the beta. Let's see how that goes. Any success with LinkedIn?

@pddro I’d be curious to know the results with incentivized invites if you can share it down the road :) Linkedin did fine actually. Probably better than Instagram. I have a bunch of designers / ux people on my Linkedin network and they seemed interested on the concept!

@franruarte thanks a lot :) unfortunately, not yet. We’ve had quite some people requesting an Android version, but right now we’re only 2 guys working on it part-time. So we kind of need to prioritize and have laser focus on what’s next. It sucks that it is iOS only for now, I know, and I am truly sorry about it, but it just wasn’t possible :(

I can't find any justification for subscription model. Seems like it should be a simple Freemium.

@ziggycrane thanks for your comment! We’re still testing our business model and having a “one-time” purchase is also an option. We want to make Tangerine Premium as flexible and affordable as possible, so that more people can enjoy it :) We’re also of course working super hard on improving our existing Premium features as well as adding new ones in the near future.

@marques_ph I just remember I released Tinygain few years back and started with subscription module. A lot of customers did not like it, received negative AppStore reviews because of it. Changed it to one-time after that and no more negative reviews. My take is that - only for services like news, songs, blogs etc subscription makes sense, since there is always new content coming and you need subscription to access it. I also understand your point of view. Subscriptions are very profitable, since users forget to cancel them all the time and money just keeps coming in. Some users kept paying for Tinygain prime even after 2 years after I removed it from the app as a payment option, so there is that.

@ziggycrane we don’t have subscriptions because of that reason. We don’t want to trick users neither expect them to “forget” about our subscription. To avoid that, we offer a very straight forward way of cancelling your subscription. We add all the info about your subscription in the “Premium” tab when users subscribe, so thing like when it started, when it will be renewed, until when you have access to the Premium features, etc, are there. And there’s also a link CTA that redirect users to their subscription screen on the App Store. So if users want, they can cancel their subscriptions and we don’t want to make it impossible to do so. The only thing that we can’t do is cancel their subscriptions on their behalf, but we also inform them about this and show the link to their subscriptions screen as I mentioned above. We want users to subscribe if they think it would be useful. They can always try the 7-day free trial, test it out and cancel before even being charged (of course) if they think it’s not good enough or not worth it. We are never going to use dark design patterns on Tangerine and we want to be as transparent as possible. Naturally, as I also mentioned, we need to make sure that the Premium features are solid enough, otherwise people won’t purchase it. And I do agree that subscriptions is a sensitive topic and there are people who don’t like it, so that’s why we’re looking into ways of making Tangerine Premium more flexible, affordable and accessible for more people.
