Drawing app for kids (Android)
The call
Don't pursue this. The market is saturated with a dominant, highly rated incumbent (1.7M ratings at 4.74 stars), has zero Google search demand, and the trend is declining. Customers who want this are already using Color by Number and they're happy.
Is the demand real?
Demand exists but is not growing. Of 99 posts across Reddit, HN, App Store, and YouTube, most are developers promoting their own apps, not parents asking for solutions. Real parent demand (posts seeking app recommendations) is sparse and dates to 2013-2018, indicating the market solved this years ago. Zero Google search demand confirms there is no organic pull from the market today.
