My husband and I created the app that help you to create and balance weekly diet. When we started, there were tons of apps that count your calories and track your daily meals…(which makes no sense from the nutritional sense, considering, that most nutrients accumulate in your body over time), but anyways… there were literally no apps which were focusing on weekly balanced diets. We developed one. Since the moment we released the app, honestly, maintaining a healthy weekly diet couldn’t be easier.
Now I'm having hard times to understand how many people buy groceries for a week and whether they will be interested in the app...
So, we released this app a year ago — https://nutritionanalyzer.app/ and nothing.
The app helps to create a personalized diet plan that balances around 40 nutrients in a person's diet based on what he prefers to eat and according to the USDA Dietary Guidelines.
While we give an extensive nutrient breakdown, practical recommendations based on science, and allow to get to the fully balanced in all nutrients diet (which competitors apps doesn't do at all!), competitor apps such as MyFitnessPal (that only provide calorie counting feature) have tons of users and make $6 millions a month (according to the sensor tower data).
Question: WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
So the problem to solve and the market definitely exists. The design and user experience are very good. From what I know, we don't even have bugs… The aha-moment is when you balance your diet and realize how unbalanced it was before and then read about the importance of every single nutrient you've balanced and how it will help you.
I've tried talking to users, answer on forums and run AppStore ads.
What is wrong with my understanding of how does startup work?
