I’d just use their service and move on. You could build it for fun but it doesn’t sound like a great idea to make a worse version of something already out there that’s not even doing that well. If you think you can do it better and grow the market then go for it

Thanks. Just to clarify, I wasn't looking for this to use. I was looking to build it for other people, to solve a fairly well known problem.

It's one of those things that needs a critical mass to really work well, like a social network (though its not a social network)

You should stop building immediately. Find someone who would pay for your service right now (pre-ordering your product) OR find someone using your competitors service and find out if they like it, or need something better, build that better product and see if it coverts the competition.
