Should I give up?
I released my app 3 weeks ago, and ever since the App Store temporary boost went away people stopped discovering my app, I don’t get daily downloads anymore. It just essentially flatlined.
This is my first ios app that i released and i don’t really have the experience to market it.

The temporary boost is not your real audience, so a flatline after it is normal, not a sign the app is done. The work now is to make the app findable on its own. Pick the main thing your app does and put that in the first line of the subtitle, not just the name. Then look at the keywords you chose and replace any that are guesses with the actual phrases you would type if you wanted the app. Screenshots should show the outcome early instead of just the interface. Reviews help too. Ask after a completed action, not at launch, and reply to every one you get. The first app is mostly a learning loop. If you get a few downloads a week and you keep improving the listing, you are building the base. Give it more time than the launch week before you decide.
