Finally launching https://gaphunt.live on Product Hunt!
Most great startup ideas don’t come from brainstorming… they come from frustrated users.
Gaphunt helps you uncover real app opportunities hidden inside 1★ and 2★ app store reviews where users openly complain about missing features, broken experiences, and problems nobody has solved yet.
Instead of guessing what to build next, you can now discover validated problems straight from real users.**
What you can do with Gaphunt :
• Search any app or category instantly explore what users are saying about competitors.
• Surface hundreds of 1★ & 2★ reviews – the goldmine of real user pain points.
• Turn complaints into app ideas identify patterns and unmet needs.
• AI-powered market analysis understand opportunity, demand, and potential before building.
Whether you're a founder, indie hacker, product manager, or developer, Gaphunt helps you stop guessing and start building apps people are already asking for.
Would love your feedback and support on Product Hunt

@shashi_ala This reminds me a bit of Trustmrr. Curious what the main differences are?
@vadimsemenko These reviews are pulled directly from the App Store, giving you real user feedback so you can identify problems and build better apps around them, and the main idea of gaphunt is clearly different from trustmrr

As a non-dev founder, I’m perpetually worried about building the 'wrong' thing. Gaphunt sounds like exactly the reality check I need. Does it currently support all App Store categories, or is it focused on specific niches? Love the 'goldmine' analogy—super clever!
@linapok The data you are seeing is from the app store not a for particular niche , thanks and happy building.

@shashi_ala Thanks for the clarification! That makes the tool even more versatile for spotting broad market trends. Really love the concept, and best of luck with the launch!
Smart angle — mining 1-star reviews is something I've done manually for competitor analysis, but it's brutally tedious at scale. Does GapHunt currently only pull from iOS App Store, or are Google Play and web SaaS reviews (G2, Trustpilot) on the roadmap? That's where a lot of B2B pain lives.
@ilya_lee Currently we only take data from app store .

Really smart angle here. Mining bad reviews for product ideas is honestly something more founders should be doing instead of guessing what to build next.
• Love that you're pulling from 1 and 2 star reviews specifically. That's where the real pain points live.
• The AI analysis layer on top is a nice touch. Manually reading through hundreds of reviews gets old fast.
• One thought: once someone builds the app they find through GapHunt, they'll need a way to collect feedback from their own users too. Something like Blocfeed (in-app bug reporting widget) could help close that loop and keep validating with real user input.
Congrats on the launch, this is a solid tool for the ideation phase!
@mihir_kanzariya Thanks a lot, really appreciate the thoughtful feedback! Really appreciate you taking the time to explore the product and share such a detailed comment. Thanks for the support!

really like the idea, although more sorting options would be very helpful. Besides, some filters that target the most painful points not from big players but mid-size apps
@moh6mmad thanks and we will add more filters in the future

This is really smart, Shashi. Mining low star reviews for validated pain points is one of those ideas that's obvious in hindsight but rarely executed well.
One messaging thought, "turn real complaints into validated app ideas," could do more work upfront than the current description. It makes the outcome immediate and concrete, which tends to hit harder with founders who are scanning fast.
Curious whether you're planning to cluster recurring complaints into themes across apps? That layer would make the insights feel less like raw data and more like a brief, which is where it becomes truly actionable.
As someone who spends a lot of time helping SaaS founders sharpen their messaging, I'm always drawn to products that close the gap between idea validation and positioning. This one does that in an interesting way.

Excited to see how early users run with it.

@david_justice Yes it is only for mobile apps
