Launching 22 Hours today: a clear aligner tracker

Hey everyone!

I'm launching 22 Hours today and wanted to share it here.

I built my own app after reading 1,426 reviews of the app I was competing with.

I am three months into clear aligner treatment and building a tracker for it while I use it (I am my own QA!). I pulled every public App Store review of my main competitor app in the category. 1,426 of them, 55 storefronts, off Apple's per-storefront feeds.

Rating by year: 4.04, 3.79, 3.82, then 3.08 in 2025 and 2.88 so far this year. My main competitor is tanking their app for perceived short term gains!

🛬How do you onboard new users?

I m curious how other makers approach this.

The more features a product has, the harder it becomes to explain it without overwhelming a new user.

Do you:

guide users step by step
give them a simple starting task
let them explore everything themselves
use videos/tutorials
hide most features until they need them
or something completely different?
