You need real users early so onboarding, trial flow, and subscription checks can break in a controlled way, not after launch day. If the app opens with no waitlist, no beta group, and no clear channel, day-one feedback will be thin and fixes will come late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe math matters.
