Thank you for your advice! I'm currently working on SEO for my website for the app too

#13Who is your customer? Each application solves particular problem for particular group of people. And you need to know as much as possible about them? Gender, age, working/non-working, kids, free time, what are their problems you are trying to solve, do they keep, focus, what colors do they prefer, what kind of subscriptions can they pay? etc, etc... Once you have this information, you know how to create a product tha…
Honestly I made it because I need it. So I guess I'm the part of the customers. But I know it's a very small niche..
- You have to be couples
- You both have iphone (because I haven't built android one yet)
- Because it's more helpful if you both use it so both of you are willing to use it..
So I was thinking "should I make viral app over this?" but still I love my app it helps me a lot and it's my first app so I have big love on it. At the same time, because of above reasons, I was also thinkging I cannot see the situation clearly like maybe it's time to give up.
Just in case if you want to look up this is the website for the app: https://paircare.love/

#141 month is not that long. And also you need to expand your traction meaning: increase the number of downloads. So… marketing. You should try to find your main acquisition channels and focus on this for now, do not spend your time on trying to improve your product if you don’t have higher number of downloads. If it’s a b2c app then usually conversion rate (install-to-purchase) is around 1-4%.
Yeah. I think I tried paid ads only a few days.. I'll try my best for 6 months on marketing! Yes mine is B2C app :) Thanks for the advice!!!

#15The "I'm gonna fix onboarding" instinct is almost always the wrong first diagnosis when users cancel immediately after trying. Onboarding is a funnel problem. Immediate cancels are a positioning/expectation problem - they expected X, saw Y, bailed inside 30 seconds. Three canceled immediately and one got to the paywall and canceled. You have a sample size of 4 users who engaged. That's not "optimize conversion" terri…
Yeah thanks. I emailed some of people who stopped in the middle of onboarding (because I track at least the onboarding steps for the features) and nobody answered haha I should reach out to more people I guess

#16It probably wouldn't hurt to set up Microsoft Clarity - it's a free solution that lets you see how people actually use your product and identify bottlenecks and pain points. It also has a “copilot ai” feature that can offer some suggestions (though it's just a copilot, so don't expect too much). But I’m sure that as soon as you see exactly what users are doing, you’ll be able to spot the problem areas.
Thanks for the recommendation! Never heard of this one but looks good

#17My application is facing similar challenges, I've learned a lot from the suggestions in the comments section, and I will need to improve my product as well.

#18Maybe you should create an app that people want.
From Google it looks like PairCare is to do with period tracking. There are already a plethora of apps that do this, a large number of which are free. I'm almost certain it is also a part of the Apple Health stack.
You're an unknown entering into a very large market with a vibe coded SaaS - This isn't going to work.

#20It looks like you already got a ton of great advice on here and just to hammer it home, feedback is such a big thing. Otherwise you're working off of assumptions. It's awesome that you use your own product btw. Look into more ways to get that feedback because not everyone will respond. Do you have anything set up for customer feedback tracking externally? I used to use a simple Excel doc way back when but I'm sure there are a ton of tools you can use nowadays. Anyways, good luck.
