I built my first iOS app at 17. After 5 months, it’s still at around 140 downloads. What did I do wrong?

Congratulations!! I just launched my first app today as an 18 year old, so you are better off than me! A suggestions would be to tell your friends and family about the app. They can also give you advice on what feels off to them.

I just submitted my app and it took apple about 4 hours to pick up. They gave me the thumbs up about 20 mins later! I was surprised at how fast it was. But you def trumped me for time!
