In the mold of great businesses we admire, our goal is
to efficiently use our outside investment to improve the
lives of millions of users

All things point to the app being a hit, users loved it. Nothing suggests a failure, in fact they say that in spite of the good feedback "we’ve decided to pursue our vision in a new way".
I posted this knowing that it looks snarky, but it is business as usual. I just can't help feeling annoyed every time a great service shuts down for no apparent reason, and guess this sentiment is very common. I'm relieved it's not one I trusted with any important data or depended upon.

Business as usual.
