Ask HN: What to do when I get ZERO comments on my app review post?
It is surreal to me that my 'Please review my app" post gets 0 comments.
Should I assume that people are not interested in the app? or could it just be bad timing or some odd reason that I happened to confront? Is there a way to see the views on it?
I like to think it is the latter but could someone please advise what I should do?
Also, one odd thing, when I originally posted it, I forgot to put the prefix Ask HN and after a couple of minutes, corrected it, BUT it does not show up under the 'Ask' section.

Sometimes it's timing (time of the day, time of the week). I like to give input on a lot of app reviews but I just don't always have the time to do so.
The problem I have with this giving my opinion on people's questions on your site is I don't know how much money they have, their annual income, what expenditures they have... I can't just tell people that they should buy a $1000 computer if I don't know if they have any debt, whether they have a computer already, or any other concerns. It's like asking a second opinion on a medical condition knowing only the symptom but not the medical history of the patient.
On the visual design, the colours are far too neon and need to be more mature. Plus, the text could use more white space and toned down in sizing.
Do you mean the one you posted 1 hour ago? Without a clickable link?
Firstly, your timing sucks. Anything submitted about now only gets on the "new" page for about 40 minutes.
Secondly, your title isn't very catchy.
Thirdly, the description you give doesn't really encourage me to check it out, which coupled with no clickable link means I'm not going to bother.
Having been here well over two years, I'm a little surprised you don't already know these things.
I was going to comment but didn't. I will go do so now.
