Message from the founder
Bohdan Holland

"A niche learn-to-draw iOS app with 3 years of App Store history and strong unit economics: 40–70% trial-to-paid conversion, a peak of ~97 active subscriptions and up to $600/mo. Already fixed: annual plan with a 7-day trial, win-back offers, and Apple Search Ads are all live. You're buying a turnaround already in motion: a clean SwiftUI codebase, an organic search engine (94% of installs), a base of ~700 users. At a recovery to $500–600 MRR, it pays back within a year."
