Okay, so are you actually doing this in China then? Because I am American and I imagine most folks here are answering from an American or European or other more developed country perspective. So if you will clarify where your market is, that might help you get better feedback from the people here.

I am sorry you are offended. I was not challenging your intention. I was telling you what the product looks like to an outsider who has no idea what your intention is. It is your job to make it clear what the intent is by how you frame it. Bill Gates said "Your unhappiest customers are your greatest source of learning" (or something close to that). You have to learn to take constructive feedback for what it is: Useful information. If you get upset with people for trying to give you feedback, it gets less likely you will continue getting it and that is a much, much bigger problem than being told something you aren't happy hearing.

Again: Best of luck.

Well, my website is in English and I am asking a question in a English Forum so apparently I am targeting US. I understand your point. Yes, I should do my own research before I started to make an app. Tell me this is the story of facebook, dropbox, box, airbnb, etc. Not related but I am pretty new to HN. I thought the answer to a question should be related. Personally I don't get how your answer is USEFUL. From my understanding, the vendors I interviewed were happy with this solution. And You were telling me it's a wrong product. It's contradictory, isn't it?
maybe 当局者迷,旁观者清? all they are doing is telling you what they, as strangers, see and feel when they visit your site/service. you can choose to accept those perspectives or not. and some of the feedback is even actionable. and if even that is not helpful/useful i cant really imagine what is, especially considering you asked some strangers for help and they all have nothing to gain by either helping or not..they're all just..trying to be helpful?
