Seeking advice for customer acquisition

Edit: thank you everyone who took the time to comment! Hello! I have a health and wellness app that helps people track their compliance on therapeutic diets with the help of AI. I ve gotten very strong encouragement from friends in the tech industry but am finding acquiring customers difficult. I don t spam my app in communities on Facebook or Reddit, but I ll briefly mention it here and there when someone else posts or comments about using apps to help with therapeutic diets. My user growth is about 2-3 per week. If I try to ask communities to talk w people for user research, I m finding most communities will delete the post, even if I am not selling the app but want to talk with others about their pain points. I m curious, what customer acquisition strategies and techniques have worked for you?

How do I figure out what my app is actually doing?

I've been vibe coding for a few months as a non-coder and I'm still annoyed with the fact that I can't understand what's happening under the hood.

I've got a decent understanding of code but I can't actually write it and I don't know the best practices for stuff like architecture and security which apparently aren't baked into most vibe coding tools. So my question is...

What do you expect from a personal finance app?

I m building Controol, a minimalist app to help people spend without guilt by knowing exactly how much they can afford not just tracking what they already spent.

Most finance apps focus on graphs and past activity. My vision with Controol is different:

You enter your income, and it s automatically split into boxes based on percentages you define (like the 50/30/20 method).
You register your expenses, and the app tells you if that expense fits the available amount in the right box.
You don t micromanage categories you manage limits, clearly.
