Ship a one-time-purchase, NHS-aligned pregnancy tracker with twins and second-pregnancy support baked in — Pregnancy+ is the weakest-trending Medical flagship and is actively burning returning second-time mothers on paywalled ex-free features and measurements that contradict NHS guidance.

Your opening

Ship a Turkish-language clinical case simulator with a generous ad-supported free tier and clinician-reviewed multi-path treatment logic — MedCase is steady but 58% of its recent reviewers are 1–2★ over a one-case paywall, while its own 5★ med students are publicly writing the missing roadmap.

growPotential 0.53

The best kind of indie opening this month: TR-only, tiny incumbent (551 ratings), demand proven twice over (AI Medical Case Simulation is surging at #5 in the same storefront).

cross-checked: kept 9, cut 0 (qualifies=true; both Turkish quotes verbatim in digest-tr-6762118692.json; 23 paywall negatives and 6 simulation-quality negatives verified; corrected ad-supported free-cases from "2 requests" to "1 request" — only "LÜTFEN GÖRÜN YETKİLİLER" is in the requests array, the watch-an-ad idea otherwise appears in negatives — and alternative-treatments/doses from 2 to 3 matching requests; growPotential 0.53 matches cell-6020.json, "steady" correct)
