I think app registration is part of the overall product experience.
I was thinking about how first impressions really stick, especially with mobile apps. I believe app registration isn't just a hurdle to jump through to get to the good stuff; it's actually an integral part of the overall product experience. If it's clunky or confusing, it can sour your whole outlook on the app before you even see its main features. It's like the welcome mat to a house – if it's dirty or torn, you might think twice about going inside. Does anyone else feel like the registration process is part of the product itself, rather than just a separate technical step?

Absolutely, I completely agree with that perspective! The registration experience is definitely part of the product. An article I read recently https://www.clickfor.net/why-registration-often-decides-whether-a-gaming-app-feels-worth-keeping/ actually makes this exact argument. It highlights that for many mobile users, the moment of registration is when the platform begins to reveal what kind of experience it will offer. It frames the sign-up as the initial practical step towards accessing the rest of the platform, effectively making it the ""opening scene"" of the entire product. A clear and intuitive sign-up shows the user what kind of journey to expect, influencing their decision to continue, even before they've immersed themselves in the app's core functionalities.
