I wouldn't be surprised if users of most new apps with a lot of hype follow this trend. Everyone jumps in at first, as hype dies a lot of users stop visiting, and after that is when # of daily users stabilizes and begins the organic growth. We are still in the hype dying phase, transitioning to normal growth.
For that reason, I dont put much weight in headlines like this. It will take several more months or a year to really make a conclusion on whether the app is a success or failure.
Exactly like any new game released on Steam. Massive uptake by users but it quickly peaks and dies down. Almost every time.
