The next era of “app growth” is going to be the epiphany that retaining engaged users for longer periods of time will result in increased average revenue per user. Previously, UA carried the big stick.

If your full-funnel lifecycle strategy has holes in it, then all those users you paid to get will fall out of those flawed cavities. Join this panel and hear how our panel of app lifecycle experts plug those holes and keep users sticking around for a little while.
