A fixed signup bug brought tiny revenue back to an abandoned app

A jawline exercise app had been left alone for six months. The app had a bug that stopped people from signing up.

After the bug was fixed, users started coming back. The app now has 6 DAU and earned $0.02 in one day.

It gets about 3 new users per day on average, but many people delete it after using it once. The operator gave the app’s numbers to ChatGPT and decided to work on it for one month by improving ratings, finding why people do not stay, and whether even a very small user base can make money.
