What’s the secret to keeping app users interested and engaged? In this Mexico Business News article, Jorge Lara, our Regional Growth Lead for Latin America, shares his top tips, including:

📲 Efficient onboarding
🎯 Clear messaging
🥳 Useful features
⚙️ Regular optimisation

All this matters because engagement is key for building a successful app. 28% of apps are uninstalled in the first 30 days, and it costs 5-25 times more to attract new customers than to retain existing ones.
