How do I get users for a new social video app? (I will not promote)
I built a social video app where you can watch videos together instead of just sending links back and forth.
It came from always sending videos to friends or my partner and then waiting forever for a reply. I figured it would be better if we could just watch stuff together in real time, see ourselves, react, laugh.
I put it on the Play Store and it has about 100+ downloads so far. Not great, not terrible, just kind of stuck.
I honestly thought people would be more excited about it, but the reaction has mostly been neutral.
So now I’m trying to figure out:
Is this idea just not that strong, or am I missing something with how I’m positioning it?
For those who’ve built or grown apps, what actually helped you get your first real users?
I’m open to honest feedback, even if it’s blunt.
