Is my app too nice? 0 signups in 1 week

Hey everybody. I built this simple ios app called StackRead

I kept running into Instagram posts that are just Substack recommendation lists. "10 newsletters that will make you smarter," that kind of thing. I would save them, tell myself I would read them later, and then never open them. After a while I had a load of these in my saved posts and nothing I had actually read.

So I built StackRead. You share one of those posts into the app, or paste the link, and it turns the recommendations into a reading list with clickable links and a daily reminder so the articles actually get read.

The app has been on the App Store for about a week but with only five downloads and zero subscriptions I'm a bit worried the app is too niche or that I'm doing something wrong. I would appreciate any feedback, whether it's something with the screenshots, the onboarding or just any general advice on growing this app. Thanks in advance.
