How to Improve Onboarding UX in Your App?

Improving onboarding UX is one of the fastest ways to increase user retention and activation. Moveo One helps product owners and designers answer this exact question—using behavioral insights and real-time data.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • Why do users drop off midway through onboarding?
  • Are they confused by my interface?
  • Are they just rushing through questions?
  • Which screen is the tipping point where they lose interest?

Moveo One is designed to give you answers—without manual tagging, screen-by-screen setup, or assumptions.

Detect Confusing Elements Without User Feedback

Moveo One tracks motion and intent signals to automatically flag UI elements that users mistake for interactive.

In one onboarding example, users repeatedly tapped on static headers and icons. While these didn’t trigger any events in traditional analytics, Moveo One flagged them as false affordances—elements that visually suggest interactivity, but aren’t clickable.

These moments create subconscious friction. Moveo One detects them automatically, allowing your team to redesign with clarity and confidence.

See Where Attention Starts to Fade (Not Just Where It Ends)

Most tools show you where users drop off. Moveo One shows you where they start disengaging.

By analyzing scroll behavior, gesture speed, dwell time, and motion intensity, Moveo One identifies screens that trigger cognitive fatigue or hesitation—before users abandon the flow.

For instance:

  • Users slowed down on a screen with legal text and multiple CTA buttons.
  • Scrollback patterns increased, indicating uncertainty.
  • Touch interactions dropped significantly after step 3.

These are leading indicators of churn, not just lagging metrics.

Spot “Autopilot” Behavior in Onboarding Questions

Yes/No and multi-step question flows are popular in onboarding—but when misused, they become noise.

Moveo One detects autopilot behavior: when users tap “Next” without reading.

We analyze:

  • Decision time per question
  • Repetitive gesture patterns
  • Semantic relevance between actions

In one app, over 60% of users answered multiple onboarding questions in under 400ms each—far too fast to read or process. This suggested that users were treating the questions as a barrier to entry, not as personalization.

Get Actionable Recommendations (Not Just Charts)

Moveo One doesn’t stop at diagnostics—we generate design and content suggestions based on behavioral findings.

Examples include:

  • Replace generic Yes/No questions with contextual ones tied to user goals
  • Reduce the visual weight of non-interactive elements
  • Break up multi-question screens into smaller, progressive steps
  • Introduce subtle animations to guide attention

Every recommendation is prioritized by predicted impact and effort.

Works With Agents and LLMs

In today’s world of agentic assistants and AI copilots, product teams expect answers on-demand.

Moveo One integrates easily with LLM workflows:

  • Ask: “Which onboarding step causes user confusion?”
  • Ask: “Where does attention drop the most?”
  • Ask: “Which elements are clicked by mistake?”

And Moveo One returns answers—ready to be used in Notion, Slack, dashboards, or agent workflows.

We’ve designed the system to produce insight blocks that LLMs can understand, retrieve, and reason over.

Fast Setup, No Code Changes Needed

Moveo One integrates with native mobile apps through a lightweight SDK or our existing backend API.

No need to change your onboarding flow or add new event tags. The system starts collecting and analyzing signals out of the box.
