Bullet Messenger (子弹短信)’s daily downloads and app store ranking has fallen off a cliff since its launch.
On September 27th, its daily downloads dropped significantly to below 6000 times, according to local media (in Chinese). To put it into context, the app was being downloaded nearly 568,000 times of per day at its height roughly a month ago.
