     17   In January 2016,
     18   <a class="external-link" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.expressen.launcher&hl=en">
     19   Expressen</a> launched a new sports app to reach sports enthusiasts directly
     20   and to better optimize the app for sports content. They decided to analyze
     21   users' behavior by looking at user paths in existing sports content,
     22   combined with user research and testing various prototypes with real users.
     23   They found that readers have different needs and preferences. For example,
     24   some people like a specific sport, league, or player that others have no
     25   interest in. Following these results, they integrated two main changes to
     26   increase appeal to different types of readers.

     29 <h3>What they did</h3>

     31 <p>
     32   Expressen introduced a new onboarding flow that allows users to select the
     33   type of push notifications they want to subscribe to. They also implemented
     34   contextual navigation where the top header navigational links change,
     35   showing the most relevant links to the reader at that moment in time. For
     36   example, if you're reading about football, relevant links about that sport
     37   are displayed.

     42 <p>
     43   After the new release of the app, <strong>results showed a higher opt-in
     44   rate for push notifications in the Sport app (+16.9%)</strong> compared to
     45   their main app, and content consumption increased +7% for page views and
     46   +8.3% for video views.
