Hey everyone, I'm on the hunt for mining software that can dig up abandoned wallets. I bought an app from a seller, but it’s not detecting any coins, so I'm wondering if anyone has any insights. I’m particularly interested in anything related to phishing since there are lots of keys involved.

FYI 99.9999% of the time those are all scams.... You already have been scammed once and apparently have not learned that lesson yet.

Why would I sell that app if it works?
If it works and it is my app would I not use it for my own purposes?

You should start with reading more. Then you'd know that a private key is just a random number.
The "problem" is that the range for those random numbers is so big many cannot comprehend.
So what could such a program do? Generate random numbers and make you hope you may get lucky?
You have better chance to win the jackpot at lottery 5 times in a row.
1. Mining and searching for "abandoned" wallet (also called brute-forcing private keys) are 2 different thing.
2. Since you asked this question on this board, SHA-256 ASIC only can be used to perform SHA-256 operation and can't be used to brute-force private keys.
1. You got scammed.
2. Even with legitimate brute-force software, chance to actually find private key that generate Bitcoin address with non-empty balance is not probable.
