Onboarding users can often feel like a never-ending struggle, especially with complex processes. I’ve found that using deferred deep linking simplifies this by allowing users to land directly on specific features within the app via web links. This means new users can skip the usual hurdles and get straight to what interests them. It streamlines their entire journey from finding the app to actually signing up. Have any of you implemented this in your apps? What was your experience like?
I implemented deferred deep linking for my latest app. Users can click on a link in an email and go right to the onboarding screens. This saved me a ton of time and helped reduce drop-offs during sign-up. I used Web2Wave for the integration, and it was straightforward.
Deferred deep linking is a game changer. I can run experiments on my onboarding flows instantly without waiting for app updates. I finish the tweaks on the web side, and the changes show up in the app right away with Web2Wave. It’s my secret for fast iterations.
I also noticed a big drop in onboarding drop-off rates after using deep linking. Users seem more engaged when they’re directed to what interests them right away. It’s a simple way to improve the experience without overcomplicating things.
It sounds great but I wonder if there are any downsides to using it. Have you faced any challenges?
