Hey, ever wondered how many click‑throughs the average user can handle before they abandon a new app? I suspect there's a sweet spot, but I'm curious what data you have on that.

Hey, the sweet spot is about 4 to 6 taps for a new app. Once you push past that, users start feeling dragged and the churn rate climbs. Aim for a 4‑step flow, keep each tap purposeful, and remember the first 30 seconds is where the abandonment decision is made.

Sounds solid, but be careful—if you cram everything into six taps, the “purposeful” part gets lost in the noise. A 30‑second window is a rule of thumb, not a hard line; some users still need a tiny breath before deciding. Keep it tight, test it, and watch where they slip.

Right on the money—if you pack six taps with everything, you’ll end up with a noise floor. Keep the core flow tight, then use a quick micro‑tutorial or an intro modal that pops up after the first tap to give them that breath. A/B test the length and watch the drop‑off curve, especially around the 30‑second mark. Don’t forget to log every micro‑interaction; those tiny slip‑points are where the real data hides.

Nice plan. Just remember the modal shouldn’t feel like a pop‑up attack; keep it contextual, or users will skip it in the next five taps. Logging every tap is key, but make sure you can actually read the data—otherwise you’re just chasing ghosts.
