First off, why even have a separate sign-up page? You aren't getting any details there really.<p>It completely looks like spam. How are you going to know what my app is? You don't ask for my app, you only ask for my e-mail.<p>You could make this much simpler.<p>1) (as others have mentioned) state on your homepage what you do.<p>2) include a space for me to put my e-mail address, don't take me to another page<p>3) don't ask to spam me with your "We make some really cool things. Check this box if you would like the occasional email about our other products. Don't worry, we dont like spam either!" That just looks really bad.<p>Basically make it all a simple as possible.

First: I don't know what the app does. Not in technical terms, but what problem it solves for me. Imagine your ideal customer. Imagine his itch. And then imagine, that you have less then 5 seconds to tell him, that you solve his problem.<p>Even after reading the comments on HN, I do not know, if it mails me the reviews I wrote, or the reviews, that anybody wrote on my app.<p>If it is the 2nd, I could imagine a use-case, when I look at my workmates, who manage our apps. They might be users. But I would not tell them of this service, as I did not understand it.<p>Else:<p>- Sign-Up-Button(Call to action) below the fold. - Get a lot more feedback on Design-Iterations from people outside (so the HN-Post was good) - A|B-Test your Design (For example with Genetify: <a href="https://github.com/gregdingle/genetify/wiki" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/gregdingle/genetify/wiki</a>)

TLDR: What is it?<p>It doesn't give enough info about what you're offering. As a potential (paying) user I need to see some features and benefits on the homepage.

Don't care about the product, the button is below the fold, the whole thing looks like cheap clipart and I don't enter my email on pages that look likely to be spam-collection mechanisms.<p>Mostly, though, the idea of having my app's reviews emailed to me is entirely unappealing. The only time I'd expect you to find people who wanted that service was right after they had googled for "app store reviews emailed to me".

I believe I understood exactly what it does (mail new reviews by other people of "my" app). I also think it looks OK.<p>It may be no one wants a service like that.

Well, it's completely ambiguous. Why is your land page not an explanation of what your product is?
