Onboarding flow question: land on home vs open camera immediately?
Working on the first-run flow for a PDF scanner app and debating between two approaches.
Current:
onboarding → home → tap “scan” → permission → scan
Alternative:
onboarding → camera opens → permission → scan
(then next sessions land on home)
Goal is to get to the first scan as fast as possible.
Tradeoff:
- immediate action / faster “aha”
vs
- giving context and a stable entry point
Curious how you’d approach this:
👉 drop users straight into the camera
👉 or keep the home screen first
If you’ve tested something similar, would love to hear what actually worked.
