In app on boarding TLDR ;
- In-app onboarding is the process of teaching users how to use an app to achieve their goals.
- Mobile users tend to have less patience, so their onboarding needs to be shorter and less complex.
- In-app onboarding is necessary to let users experience value. Once they activate, they’re more likely to stay with your product and convert to paying customers.
- Progressive onboarding introduces more complex features gradually as users get more confident using the app.
- Function-oriented onboarding focuses on teaching users how to complete tasks, while benefits-oriented onboarding shows how the product can improve users’ lives.
- The key elements of in-app onboarding include a sign-up page, welcome screen, interactive walkthrough, feature guidance, and self-serve support.
- Keeping the sign-up process simple helps users start engaging with the product in less time. This reduces the risk of them dropping off.
- Contextual onboarding offers guidance at the time when users need it. This increases their chances of activating features and reduces the risk of overwhelming them with unnecessary information.
- Checklists are an effective way to take users through the initial stage of onboarding.
- Using in-app UX patterns like tooltips or modals is a powerful way to help users discover new features.
- Mobile app onboarding shouldn’t take more than 60 seconds, so personalize it for users and include the absolute minimum of steps. Use a progress bar to tell users how many steps are left.
- Use the empty state screens for product guidance or to set them off on the way to activation.
- Test your in-app onboarding flows with A/B tests to choose the most effective ones.
