Validated ideas - List of 5,000 poorly executed but popular apps

Coming up with innovative ideas is hard and time-consuming.
Instead, you could implement an existing product which already has demand.
This list of 5,000 apps with 100k+ downloads and lower than 3.2 ratings could give you inspiration.

@jozshuszi I just saw this on a newsletter I subscribe to. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a lot more attention today. Was it worth the time and efforto to create this and put it up for sale? Did you make more than coffee money? Did you underprice it?

@jozshuszi @kenrossi I was wondering why there were more sales than usual! Since the launch, the sales naturally dropped. Can I ask you which newsletter? I owe them one, thank you. It was totally worth it! This list didn't take much to create, and there were more than 300 sales overall. Maybe I underpriced it a little bit, but my thinking was: a lot of developer out there could have built this list, but (hopefully) earn more than 3.99 in an hour so they would buy it rather than create their own. Win-win in my head. And I liked this price because this way a lot of people can afford it.

Love this! would be great to update with iOS as well - a lot of the apps that have tough reviews on android are actually doing pretty well on iOS.

@caromac91 thank you Caroline! Good suggestion, I mainly follow the Android market, that's why I decided to go with this one with this list. I hope you find it useful!

this is a great idea... any chance you organized as an excel sheet or airtable? would make it easier for customers to filter by category. 5000 ideas is a lot to filter through to retrieve value :-)

@fynnglover19 I did for my second list! If you bought this product I won't make you buy that too - just tell me your email (here, or you can find my email when you purchase I believe and then send me a message), and I will send you the Airtable link.

This is brilliant!
