I can’t believe it! 👀
While on vacation, I checked my phone and saw 2 notifications
My first 2 PAYING customers and even a $99.99 yearly trial conversion 🙌
All of this just running Apple Ads for Witsy with $5/d
This is the moment I have been building for

Just got my new version approved 🎉
Spent the last week refining the onboarding and paywall
2 weeks of running ads resulted in a large number of completed onboardings
BUT not a single trial conversion in the last 2 weeks ❌
My theory:
Users do not know what they are paying for until after the paywall 👀
Let‘s see if things will change
Demand is there, just need to nail the execution 🙌

2 weeks of running paid Apple Ads, these are the stats 🎯
Spent 80€ 💰🔥
- 100 active customers
- 38 onboardings completed
- 2 trials (both cancelled)
Still at 0€ and honestly feeling a bit frustrated.
BUT I will keep going until I get the first paying customer 💪
Working non-stop on improving my features and fixing my onboarding & paywall.

I just got my first trial user EVER 🤯
2 months after I started building my app
This is a huge achievement for me
In the last week alone I have gotten:
- 14 new installs
- 25 total installs
- 12 completed onboardings 🙌
This made me feel like I built something useful

Another 5 installs in the last 2 days! 🎉
Instead of focusing on only organic marketing, I set up my first app store ads on Friday and started running them.
The results so far:
→ 500 Impressions
→ 20 Taps
→ 3 Installs (all finished onboarding)
It's crazy to think that people chose my app over competitors doing over $1M in monthly revenue 🤯

3 weeks ago I released my app Witsy, it's still at $0 MRR
But I can finally see something moving, 40+ page views yesterday → 6 installs! 🎉
Crazy what posting on TikTok and some ASO can do
It gives me hope for getting my first customer soon. Not giving up until then 💪
Persistence is key

Witsy just got a major update and it got approved right away! 🎉
The biggest change: the UX
I was able to cut down on a lot of complexity by removing some screens entirely or merging them together.
Now:
- More screens are showing the mascot
- Onboarding feels more personalized
- Added a cute Streak Screen
I feel excited because finally the design feels more coherent.
Only one issue: Still at $0 MRR 👀
