Cause of death: the autopsy

A 4.2-star Gantt app with 6,397 installs already sits next to the 3.46-star incumbent with 5,662. 19 of 21 bad paid apps already had a well-rated rival, and switching costs keep users on the bad one anyway.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
