Would you pay to see what your long distance partner is doing right now?

My idea - long distance couple/friends always get tried to text boring stuff like how was your day? or what are you up to? so instead of text how about you sent a 5 sec video whenever you and your partner can and at the end of the day we will make you full daily video where we show split screen, one side what you are doing and one side what your partner doing so, the basic idea something like when you wake up at 8 and you send a video to your partner , your partner send back one video about what he up to on 8 morning.

Problem - to test this idea i get user but non of them go beyond the invite screen they all stuck on invite their partner screen and can't even use the main future of the app which is on home screen

Questions:

  1. Would you use this, as a long distance partner or long distance friends?
  2. What is wrong with my on boarding that out of 4000 user no one go to home screen?
  3. Is this idea wroth to pursue in long distance couple market?

EDIT: Reading the comments, I think I explained the idea badly 😅

Parallel isn't about seeing what your partner is doing “right now,” and it's not meant to replace Snapchat/WhatsApp.

Think of two separate days happening in parallel:

8 AM: I'm having breakfast → she's commuting
12 PM: I'm working → she's having lunch
7 PM: I'm at the gym → she's cooking

We each capture a 5 second moment. Parallel pairs those moments side-by-side, so you can see what both of your lives looked like around the same parts of the day.

At the end of the day, those moments become one short video showing both days together.

That's the idea I'm actually trying to validate.

If that still sounds like something you wouldn't use, I'd genuinely like to hear why.
