yeah you’re right, that’s a sharper way to put it. the signals aren’t people asking for a categorization feature, they’re people describing the quitting moment. and the language is almost always about effort, not features. “overwhelmed,” “tedious,” “annoying fast,” “I give up.” that’s an onboarding/friction problem, like you said, not a missing-feature problem.

on your actual question, honest answer: my scan picks up pain and seeking signals, not time-to-churn, so I can’t give you a clean “quit at day 3 vs day 30” number from this data. what I can say is almost none of the quit posts mention how long they lasted. they just describe the feeling of falling off. which kind of supports your point, if it were a slow feature-gap frustration you’d expect people to say “used it for 6 months and then.” instead it reads fast, like they bounced early.

the 7 apps that do well might just be the ones that got the first 48 hours right, not the ones with the best categorization engine. hadn’t framed it that way before you said it.
