Someone’s first experience can be the difference between a loyal user or someone who never comes back. Discover if people think your onboarding is confusing.

Setting up a new tool for the first time is often where people get lost, preventing them from adopting the tool in their daily life. Knowing where challenges lie within your UI can make all the difference between adoption or rejection. The ‘First Use’ activity, inspired by 007, is designed to answer, “Can anyone use it?”

Why We Love It
As users, we are picky and impatient and want something easy to setup and use. Discovering what and where challenges lie for the user is gold. ‘First Use’ helps identify these areas and discover a more intuitive, friendly, likable user interface and experience. Besides, who doesn’t like a challenge?
