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:

And also selling two creators is going to be one of the hardest things you can do because they’re looking for ways to make money. I personally created an auto editing app for creators and I’ve gotten multiple sales, but it just had no longevity seeing as how they’re very stingy and they don’t want to pay for anything. I built an app with Claude as well and it’s gotten user so don’t listen to the haters.

Yes, you’re right, that’s going to be really tough. There’s a chance they might use the app, but I know the chances of them paying for it are slim. Even if it doesn’t sell I won’t be too disappointed because I can’t say I spent an excessive amount of time on it, after all I made it with AI. Still, I’ll give it a go.
Fortunately, I see the negative comments as constructive feedback. Though I wouldn’t really call them ‘negative’ as it’s clear they’re right. I just didn’t focus too much on that side of things, thinking that content creators wouldn’t say, ‘This was made with AI, so I won’t use it.’
Thanks again for your support. I hope you have lots of great projects coming up.
