How the biggest consumer apps got their first 1,000 users
Considering every startup confronts this question at some point, I was surprised by how little has been written about it. Particularly anything actionable. So I decided to do my own digging. I spent the past month personally reaching out to founders, scouring interviews, and tapping the Twitterverse. Below, you’ll find first-hand accounts of how essentially every major consumer app acquired their earliest users, including Tinder, Uber, Superhuman, TikTok, Product Hunt, Yelp, and over a dozen more. Enjoy!

Great Research! I must say from going into a long process I suggest one must list their app on a platform called AppsHive, where the app owner or developer has a chance to list their app on three different segments. Not only that they can boost their new app downloads by 43%. So for me, one must go to that side part for increase app users.
