I totally rewrote my app for finding the right baby name, and I'm trying to understand what's holding it back from attracting / retaining more users and being higher up in the iOS and Android app stores.
In my own opinion, the other apps you find when you search for "baby names" pale in comparison. Or am I delusional?
Please roast it!

The landing page is here (though I'm not as interested in roasting that vs. the app itself).
Off the top of my head, maybe people...

Off the top of my head, maybe people...
- don't realize the power of the recommendations engine (it gives you good recommendations after you've liked at least a few names)
- don't see or really understand the unique metrics (for example, no other app/book/website can tell you things like the professions in which a given name is disproportionately common)
- don't discover the "complementary names" feature that shows you other names you genuinely are likely to also find appealing
- don't discover the name lists feature, which has some really interesting categories, IMO (e.g., names by political affiliation per campaign contribution data)
- don't like the color scheme
- don't like the icon
- find it too complicated
- want some other feature that it doesn't have
- find it less fun / whimsical / something else emotional vs. the other apps
- ?
