You only get one shot: 60% of Singaporeans drop bad apps after first use

Three in five Singaporeans say brands are responsible for their bad app services regardless of the issue.

Bad app services are something that most Singaporeans won’t tolerate.

A study from AppDynamics found that 60% of Singaporeans would refuse to use an app again if it failed to impress after their first use.

Customer expectation is also high, with 67% of respondents saying that they won’t tolerate poor performance anymore.

Brands, regardless of the issue, get the blame for problems with using their app, 63% of Singaporeans said.

Meanwhile, 78% of Singaporeans believe its ultimately the brand’s responsibility to ensure that their app or digital service works perfectly.

This goes hand-in-hand with a growing reliance on apps and digital services, with 95% of Singaporeans saying that digital services have helped them get through the pandemic in a positive way.

The survey was conducted by Insight Avenue in June 2021 through interviews with 1,000 Singaporeans.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
