Give under-25s a short onboarding and older users a longer one

Longer flow works well for 25+, per founder; no numbers

Workedonboarding

What they did

Ask age in onboarding. Under 25: short flow (key points, disclaimers to accept, straight into the app). 25+: longer flow on nutrition/sleep/water that builds a personal nutrition plan (height, weight -> recommended calories/protein) to convince them tracking matters.

What happened

Under-25s buy less and abandon long onboarding; longer flow 'works really well' for 25+. No numbers.

We just show you the key points of the app, quick things you need to know, you know, disclaimers, things you need to accept, and then get you in there as fast as we can. For the people older, we give them a longer onboarding and really talk about nutrition and tracking, you know, your food and your water and your sleep and things like that that are really important. And we've noticed that works really well for people over the age of 25.

And so it's kind of, it's different for, for everyone. But I think there is that point where like, people know when they're taking them like, oh, nutrition and stuff is important. But then when we're in their face, kind of like, this is really important, we're going to make you a full nutrition plan, where you put in your like, you know, your height, your weight, all this stuff. And then this is our recommended, you know, calories, you should be …
