I want every user to cast their first vote in less than 5 seconds

๐Ÿš€ Road to 1,000,000 users - Day 99 | Current: 1611

Iโ€™m changing the very first thing every new Votap user does. Instead of opening the app and immediately being asked for a phone number and information, your first button tap will be an actual vote.

Based on your country, Votap fetches one of the most voted politicians. You choose ๐Ÿ‘, ๐Ÿ‘Ž or neutral and instantly see the score move, feel the haptic feedback and get the full voting experience. Only then do we ask you to register. Your vote stays pending and automatically activates once you become a real Votap user.

The idea is simple. I want people to understand Votap and actually experience something before I ask them for anything. Hopefully that first vote makes them think โ€œokay, I want inโ€ instead of โ€œwhy does this app want my phone number?โ€

Want to cast yours? Download Votap from the App Store!

More tomorrow.

Day 99 already, respect for sticking with it! I like when the first tap actually feels like something, haptics are a good call...

thanks man it has been a journey and this is just the beginning! Glad you like the idea

Do you like this new flow? Let me know!

Showing the experience before asking for details makes sense. We let people vote without an account in Beat AIโ€™s photo challenges, but that alone isnโ€™t a conversion result. Will you compare completed registrations and next-day returns, as well as first taps?

Yes of course. We do have a really good install to registration ratio. Usually it is about 85% or more but I personally felt like this is a good adition. Best of luck with your app!

Thanks, Alexandr! The useful comparison will be whether that first vote brings more people back tomorrow, even if registration was already strong. Good luck with the rollout.
