| As a programmer, with my veterinarian co-founder, we founded Animal lovers Click (animalloversclick.com) which has been live since July 2020. We have spent $10k for creating content for marketing, videos and advertising, but we only have less than 200 users so far which is nothing for a location-based social/dating app like ours. What does that tell you? Does anyone see a future for us? |

Again, my comment may not age well when your company skyrockets.
Anyhow, have you interacted with your target audience and have they voiced that this is a problem they'd pay money for to be solved ? Did they do that before you tell them about your app ? There are many people who talk to me about their apps, and unless they explicitely ask for my straight opinion, I won't dwell on it and just go 'Sounds interesting'.
How important is that for these people? How painful or deal-breaker is the pet part in that app? Has anyone gone "That guy/girl is super hot, but they have a [$pet_breed] so it's dead".
Is it a frequent thing ? What's the substitute ? What's the job to be done ?
Are the 200 users actually using it? How often? Do they use it for their own breeding, or for that of their pets ? As in there are some people who want to breed their pets and are picky with the mates.
If they're not using the application, why is that ? Why did they sign up in the first place, and what value did they expect? Did they even have pets or was it just another dating app to maximize their chances?
