App Code Drop Friday

Weekly official promo-code drops that get apps their first installs

Problem

The hardest part of shipping an app is the first installs, and ads often cost more than a new app earns. One developer proposed a weekly official App Store and Google Play code giveaway, but there's no trusted place to distribute and redeem codes.

Solution

A weekly Friday code-drop site where developers submit official store codes with quantity limits. Users sign up, claim one code per app, and the platform tracks redemption status and returns data to developers.

Users

Indie app developers, small publishers and deal-seeking app users

MVP

Developer code submission and inventory; weekly drop listing page; claim flow with one-per-app limit; redemption status callback; email alert before drop

Revenue

Developers pay per listing or subscribe; users free, with optional sponsored slots

Why now

Acquisition costs keep rising and official promo codes are a compliant zero-cost channel. The indie community agrees but lacks infrastructure.
