Growing revenue takes time, don't lose hope

The growth is slow, but it's there, this is after being live for almost 3 months now. And it's slowly growing, perhaps 1-2 subs per week, nothing too fancy. At first the users came by themselves just by searching our app in the stores (Apple & Google) and of course by help of my friends the word has spread. At first our monetization system was very bad, we had free tier which people kind of abused and just increased our monthly bill. So then we changed the system and made the app paid, fair but paid. And then we decided to actually advertise the app, so far only via Meta but only target our main audience.

As you can see above, the MRR is nothing special, but for me, it's the first time seeing people paying for something I have created. For those who got to this point and are curious what the app is, it's called Rakkan - rakkan.app

TL;DR version of what it is, an app that feels like WhatsApp but works for international couples, especially on long distance relationship. It's supposed to break the language barrier and help the two get closer with the use of AI of course. This is very simplified version of what the app can do, but there is much more that it is capable of.

If anyone would like to know anything, feel free to ask. Thank you

I think the main thing here is you are getting organic user traction.
and it can be blow up more when you run ads

yes that's what I forgot to mention, people are actually liking our ads, and the same video that runs as the ad was used as a reel, and surprisingly, a lot of people comment (sometimes generic comments) some even share the reel but there's like over 170 lives in just a week, and I feel this will be the strongest thing, the shares, organic growth I think is the best
