Recommendations

1. First, conduct thorough competitive research. Map out existing 'poop' related products like PoopLog and Bathroom App, as well as tangential products like Dookey Dash and Poopetti. Identify their strengths and, more importantly, their weaknesses. The criticism summary for PoopLog mentioned it being "low quality". Can you create a higher-quality product?
2. Pinpoint 2-3 key areas where 'Pooper mc pooperton' can offer substantial improvements or unique features. This could involve a specific niche focus, an innovative feature, or superior user experience. Given that Bathroom App struggled with its business model and implementation, prioritize a clear revenue strategy and seamless user experience.
3. Target a specific niche within the 'poop' market. Focus on an underserved segment with specific needs that aren't currently being met. Is it parents tracking toddler bowel movements? Is it elderly patients tracking bowel movements for medical purposes? Is it a video game using the concept of poop in a comedic way? Find a niche, then tailor your product to their needs.
4. Develop a compelling brand and marketing strategy. Given the saturated market, position 'Pooper mc pooperton' with a strong, clear message that resonates with your target audience. Humor might work, as Poopetti had success with that, but make sure it aligns with your target niche.

Create a loyal base of early adopters who can advocate for your product and provide valuable insights for future development. The positive feedback received by PoopLog can provide inspiration for your early marketing and product focus.

7. Explore potential partnerships within the health and wellness space. Collaborating with relevant organizations or influencers can help increase visibility and credibility for your product. The suggestion to integrate with Apple Health for PoopLog shows potential benefit in integrating with health apps.
