Improve your onboarding experience based on user feedback



You have created new user onboarding experience for your product and you love it! Why should you change anything?

The true question to ask is: Do your users love the experience?

Collect feedback from users

The most direct way to identify the best and worst parts of the onboarding experience is to simply ask users for feedback.

With Usetiful you can incorporate a simple feedback directly within your tours.


How to?

  1. When creating tour in the Visual Editor, click on "Edit step"
  2. Choose Collect Feedback from the advanced options


  3. Collected feedback will appear in the Reports section


Based on this quick feedback you can identify which parts of the user onboarding need to be reviewed in order to provide a more pleasant experience.

Activity-based feedback

The user onboarding experience is often built as a series of atomic steps that user needs to complete. The completion rate of the individual steps can indicate a problem with the onboarding flow.

With Usetiful, in the Reporting section, you can find how many times a specific tour step was opened - large differences in the flow indicate an inconsistency in the onboarding experience



Onboading checklists are used for more complex onboarding tutorials. In those, the experience is divided into achievable atomic steps, each being represented by a separate tour.


The gaps in the user onboarding can be identified by looking at the start rate and completion rate of separate tours.

Metrics That Are Better Than NPS?

  Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a deceptively powerful and widely used metric for measuring customer loyalty and satisfaction. It works because it asks one simple question: On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our product to a friend or colleague? From there, respondents are split into one of three groups, which are: Promoters (9-10): Loyal, enthusiastic advocates for your product. Passives (7-8): Users who are happy enough but could switch to a rival product under the right circumstances.  Detractors (0-6): Unsatisfied customers who are more likely to complain to friends or social media about your product. Once you have counted your responses, you get your NPS score by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters.  However, not everyone loves the NPS score. Here are a few of the weaknesses associated with the customer loyalty metric. It’s too simple to capture the true complexity of customer sentiment. People who respond to...
