Ask HN: Do you read through mobile app intros?

3 pointsaerialcombat9y ago2 comments

Upon an installation of a mobile app you will often see a series of pages "welcoming" you to the app. Maybe throw a few descriptions about the app, etc.

Do you read through them? Or do you just fly through them to get to the real stuff?

Is there a better/best solution to this?

I don't 'discover' apps -- I always download a specific one I'm looking for (based on external reviews, friend's recommendation, etc). So these interstitial pages are rarely useful to me.

I suppose the answer might be different if I were downloading an app I've never heard of before, but I am also having difficulty imagining why I'd want to do that.

Good grief no. A better solution is a "help" menu item.
