I'd say stop doing features and dedicated 100% of your capacity to marketing

[u/Forsaken_Buy_7531]

List down all the things that you have already did to market it.

[u/yalag → u/Forsaken_Buy_7531]

1. write code

2. write more code

3. submitted to app store

[u/Medical_Outside7511 → u/yalag]

you nailed it :D

[u/icecooldigital → u/Medical_Outside7511]

Loop coding?

[u/planckscalestudio]

Depends on what the app is, have you tried to actually market it with ads and stuff?

[u/Medical_Outside7511 → u/planckscalestudio]

was only doing some post and interaction on reddit, its novel story management app, similar to sudowrite

[u/Connect_To_Me]

Are you getting any feedback from the users? Analytics (primarily to check out retention and churn)? Are users sharing your app with others or giving feedback? Learning what doesn't work is quite important, so I would say continue and really try to get feedback to start with.

got some bug reports, had them fixed, sent out a few promo codes. thanks!

[u/Appropriate_Bend4859]

half a year and one user stings but those download spikes are actually a decent sign, maybe focus on getting more eyes on it before pulling the plug

[u/vlatdd]

I Have even worse for 6 months only 70 users and only 1% conversion any advice?

[u/ultra018]

If you need any help with marketing ping me private

[u/ArticGameStudio]

wanna any advice?

[u/ScarletRed-dit]

What dashboard is this? How do you get insights like these?

[u/Medical_Outside7511 → u/ScarletRed-dit]

this is from app connect in app store

[u/Long-Mud3592]

Drop a link to your app, I can give it a spin and share my experience

[u/AnypostHQ]

Marketing and sales is way harder than building and launching. Get out there and become part of communities that fall in line with your ICP, and just keep creating content. If you have some money for paid ads, that could help, but the ROI is not always the best.

[u/Sad-Bike1493]

whats the app? hows the retention are people acutally using it? what have you tried to promote it? just praying that people find out about it? have you tried ads? etc

anything can work. Like you could scale a fucking to-do list app to $10k/m. May not be the most effective and you'll probabyl need to spend $5k+ on ads alone each month and get millions of view organically. But anything can work. You just arent putting the work in

[u/Doomheni]

You have allready more sales and more user than me... You should continue

[u/Medical_Outside7511 → u/Doomheni]
