Cause of death: the autopsy

About 35 apps really left in 6.7 months, but only 3 of 19 readable ones had 10 or more reviews (median 1), searches for alternatives returned zero suggestions, and replacement is a one-off job. Killed by its pre-registered line (fewer than 5 with 10+ reviews).

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.
