User Interview Summary
The purpose of the interviews was to gain insight into why certain apps fail at retaining their new users. A group of 10 were questioned regarding what productivity tools they’ve used and no longer rely on, and what caused them to stop using the app.
From the interviews, I captured three quotes to gain a holistic view of causes and struggles. Using knowledge gained from the market research and competitive analysis, I then generated corresponding project goals needed to design a successful product.
