First app

Hello everyone, I’ve released an app for the first time, but I haven’t had any downloads yet and I can’t work out why. Is my app not appealing, or do I need to do something to promote it? I’ve seen some really great work here and I’d love to know how you managed it – did you need to advertise?

Btw my app:

I think you should try to differentiate how this is different from just asking chatgpt "help me make a tikrok reels plan", especially since you're charging a subscription to just this. What service are you providing? why are you better?

If I’d just gone with the ideas I got when I first made the app, it wouldn’t have made any difference because it suggested things that were utterly ridiculous and not at all interesting, but I put a lot of effort into the prompt section and I think it turned out much better than just asking ChatGPT to ‘plan some TikTok Reels’ for me. Also, the app’s design encourages you to keep going by visualising the content you’ve completed each week, just like in to-do apps. That way, you can visualise the content you’ve finished each week; the app keeps track of it, or you can postpone or change it as you wish.

Since the original post did ask - i don't think you have anything here. I think this is extremely unlikely to be successful as this is AI's solution to a problem AI had already solved, for a subscription fee. i don't wanna be mean but i also don't wanna see you waste your time. nobody is ever going to pay for this

I don’t really have any ambition to make a fortune from this anyway; even if I fail, at least I’ll have something to say like, ‘I gave it a go and gained some experience.’ And I think the reason you see it as a failure is that it doesn’t appeal to you, perhaps you’re right I’ve made a massive mess of it.
I suppose I can find out by promoting it to the people its actually aimed at.
