I’m honestly not sure how I’m doing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really grateful for the support so far, but most of the users are friends and family. Right now, I only have one active trial from an actual outside customer. They do seem engaged, so I’m hoping they convert.

But beyond that, I’m starting to worry the app might just sit on the App Store and collect dust. It’s pretty demoralizing to spend so much time, effort, and energy building something, only to get hit with the harsh reality that building the app was only half the battle, now comes marketing.
