7 apps scored from Apple's public feeds

DealSeek: Coupons & Discounts
DealSeek LLC★★★★★ (7,774)

True indie coupon app solving real savings problem with strong user adoption (7774 ratings) and verified real-time deal updates, though category isn't novel.

AutoSnore: Snoring Recorder
Tantsissa★★★★ (789)

Well-executed health app from established team with no subscription, but snoring recording is a straightforward feature without breakthrough innovation.

Moment Pro Camera II
Moment Inc.★★★★ (163)
Photo & Video

Polished pro camera app with manual controls and creative tools from small team, but camera apps are crowded and the developer isn't purely indie.

Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit '26
Roto Sports, Inc.★★★★★ (324)
SportsEntertainment

Specialized fantasy baseball tool solving a real draft-time problem with good ratings, but from established sports media company with seven apps.

SkySafari 8 Plus
Simulation Curriculum Corp.★★★★★ (4)

POP MART Americas
