A practical breakdown of tactics to improve user retention in consumer apps. Covers the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, then dives into actionable strategies: optimizing push notifications (timing, copy, reachability, personalization, deeplinks, PN-stacking), making high-value actions clear, reducing time to value, implementing streaks creatively, ending sessions positively, using status and feature gating to drive FOMO, leveraging app-icon badges, iOS Live Activity and Dynamic Island, and home screen widgets.
