$0.99 · In‑App Purchases
Idea Research helps founders, independent makers, and small teams turn a startup direction into questions and practical next steps.
START WITH A PROBLEM
Browse 40 curated problem briefs across four age groups, plus an additional startup case. Explore the audience, problem, product angle, evidence limits, and a first validation step. These are editorial candidates, not a population-wide ranking or proof of willingness to pay.
UNDERSTAND RESEARCH QUALITY
Questions and reports receive separate assessments with dimension scores, reasons, and gaps. Scores describe research quality, not business success probability. Pending or unavailable assessments are clearly identified.
EXPLORE YOUR OWN IDEA
Choose a side hustle, product, local business, or business service. Add your budget, timeline, and constraints to get an audience, pain point, demand signals, MVP steps, risks, and validation questions. Ask follow-ups to refine the next step. When useful, research can search up to 50 apps and analyze the three most relevant candidates; missing data is disclosed.
CONTROL WHAT YOU SHARE
Research starts private. Review the complete publication preview, then choose to publish an eligible report to the idea market or withdraw it. Generated reports may include background you entered, so review every section before sharing. Report public content or block its author from your market view.
PAYMENT AND RESEARCH CREDITS
Idea Research is a paid-download app. Browsing market content does not use research credits. Each App Store download identity includes 3 research runs per day. Initial and follow-up research each use one run. Additional runs are available through a consumable In-App Purchase. Purchased credits do not expire. There is no auto-renewing subscription. Credits used by research that fails due to a system error are returned. Prices appear in the App Store and purchase screen.
The interface supports English and Simplified Chinese. Curated content and research reports currently use Simplified Chinese, and research covers the Chinese domestic market. An internet connection is required. AI-assisted analysis can contain errors or omissions and does not guarantee business outcomes. Independently verify important decisions.

Ratings & Reviews

Improved switching between Market and Activity. History now updates in one batch to reduce repeated refreshes and local cache writes with larger study lists. Market reuses results already loaded for the same filters, while manual sync, pull to refresh, and filter changes remain available.
