Velorific nutrition app update - 1000 downloads

A few months ago we released Velorific, an adaptive nutrition app for cyclists, runners and endurance athletes, built with my dad. It syncs with Strava and TrainingPeaks and adjusts your calorie and macro targets daily based on your actual training load, instead of giving you the same flat number every day regardless of what you did.

We posted here after launch and got some genuinely useful feedback, so wanted to share a quick update. Just passed 1,000 downloads and a 5 star rating, which is way more than we expected this early on.

Most of the traction has come from being active in cycling and running communities rather than any paid push, Reddit threads, Strava clubs, Facebook groups. Haven't spent anything on ads, it's all been word of mouth so far.

Conversion from the free trial has been better than expected, people trying it and actually sticking with it once they see the gap between what they were eating and what their training demanded. Retention is something we're still keeping an eye on though.

Android launched this week too, so it's now available on both iPhone and Android. Working on a few things next around planning nutrition ahead of a session rather than just reacting to what's already happened, a few people had asked for that.

If you want to give it a try, would love honest feedback, good or bad, all of it genuinely shapes what we build next.

If anyone has tips on reaching more cyclists or runners, or has tried tackling this problem themselves, super keen to hear it.
