"Good luck finding a room with one single person that speaks English!"

#2: Robust content moderation and profanity filters

High Demand
"The only thing is most of the community just joins in yelling racial slurs. The sad part is there is little you can do besides mute them and temporarily kick them out."
"This is to lighthouse game, studios developer if you want this app to be efficient and to work correctly for everybody, it needs to have rules"

#3: Per-person audio mixing controls

High Demand
"This game need the ability to adjust audio per-person and per-effect otherwise it's literally just noise."
"The speakers volume should be a lot louder than the audience otherwise it's just constant gibberish between a ton of people."

#4: Private/permanent rooms for groups

Medium Demand
"As a music teacher, I would use this app with my kids if there were a way I could create a permanent room (like my Zoom room)"
"I made my own rooom and no one came in the room I made"

#5: Script/material upload feature

Medium Demand
"It would help to have an option to read your own material you write down and also it would help to have rating by audience option only available to use at the very end of the person who is on stages"

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Implement AI-powered real-time content moderation with profanity filtering and hate speech detection

21% of reviews cite toxic behavior and racial slurs as primary complaint. An improv app with effective moderation would immediately differentiate from Comedy Night and appeal to parents, educators, and brands concerned about safety

Build language-based lobby matching with region/language preferences

23% of reviews complain about language barriers. Auto-matching English speakers with English lobbies (and Portuguese with Portuguese, etc.) solves the #1 user complaint and improves engagement

Design superior audio mixing with per-user volume controls and automatic speaker boosting

11% cite audio issues as game-breaking. Proper audio UX where the performer is always audible above crowd noise is essential for the core comedy experience to work

Create private room functionality with shareable links for educators, friend groups, and families

Multiple users (including a music teacher) explicitly requested permanent/private rooms. This unlocks new use cases beyond random matchmaking and creates stickier user retention

Target 12+ age rating with honest marketing, but include optional family-friendly/moderated rooms

15% complained about inappropriate content vs 4+ rating. Being transparent about mature content while offering curated family spaces builds trust and captures both demographics
