It might just be that the diet program itself is too niche...I've certainly never heard of it. I think if you were looking for blogs that covered the diet program, and only found a few (that were long dead), that should be a pretty strong clue that maybe there just isn't enough interest in that program to warrant an app. Also, pawn-soft is not a great name for a company...I realized after going to the site that you meant a chess piece pawn, but at least for me the first thing I think of when I see pawn is a Pawn Shop, which has a lot of negativity associated with it in most people's minds. Especially on the Internet where a lot of folks are already wary of getting scammed, you might want to change the name to something else.

Not being an english speaker, I did not know the connotation of the word. Even looking on google, I still don't get what exactly a pawn shop is. Anyway, I will definitely change the name, then! Thank you for this feedback, nobody ever made me notice this.

  No problem, and I didn't know if you were in the U.S. or not. In the U.K. I think they're called "Pawnbrokers"...

  A pawn shop / pawn store / pawn broker is a place where people can 'sell' items to themselves, via a broker. If I needed money, but didn't have any, I could sell a possession of mine to a pawn shop, who would agree not to sell it as long as I either paid them back within a certain time or made monthly payments to keep it. It's basically like saying "Hey, loan me $500! You can hang on to my guitar until I pay you back." If you miss a payment, or fail to pay them back on the agreed upon terms, they'll sell the item you left. From long-ago personal experience, they do this sometimes anyway. There are a lot of negative stereotypes for pawn brokers. They are often used as fences for illegal goods -- Using the above scenario, if the guitar is stolen, then you might pawn it and just run off with the money.
