2. #1 Onboarding
According to Andrew Chen research, on average, apps lose 77% of
their active users in the first 3 days after install. It means that if a
user doesn’t understand you App, you’ll lose majority of them
immediately after their very first visit.

7. #3 Icons
When using icons in your
App, be sure that your
user understands the
meaning behind them. If
an icon isn’t clear to
users, it immediately
loses it practical value
and becomes a visual
noise – to avoid it, use
text to explain icon
meaning.

• For icons with labels, users were able to correctly predict what
would happen when they tapped the icon 88% of the times.
• For icons without labels, this number dropped to 60%.

correctly predicted what would happen when they tapped the
icon only 34% of the times.

15. Conclusion
The most important thing when designing a mobile App is to
create useful and intuitive experience. If the app is not useful, it
has no value. If the app is useful but not intuitive users won’t
bother learning how to use it.
