This is actually great feedback (even though on the surface it looks like a "your idea won't work" message).
But to see a list of the top challenges from a close competitor is what I think most developers should look for. That way, they can either fix those problems or look for ways around them.

For example, a few years ago I shared similar concerns to the author of Session time tracker[1] when he was starting the app's promotion. Back then I believed he won't make it either, but, as far as I know from his twitter, he managed to reach at least a decent 4-digit revenue. Although his product is subscription-based, so there's no endless acquisition trap like in case of Taim in Qbserve. [1]: https://www.stayinsession.com https://www.stayinsession.com

- philipyoungg 2y agoAlso not to be a downer, but there are tons of time tracking apps in the market. It's saturated, and honestly not a big pain point to solve for most people. Customer profile that make sense and might retain: freelancer, agency that employ freelancer. General public will find time tracking cool, but they majority won't use it day to day because it doesn't solve a problem. Or it solve a problem, but resolved in a short period of time. You can use app.sensortower.com (pretty accurate with some margin of error) to benchmark revenue for similar apps—at least those that released on App Store.
