App updates are a part and parcel of an app lifecycle. What I have struggled with personally in my career is how to make the new update exciting enough for the user. I recently came across this interesting banner on the Fastned App. It’s an EV Charging App from the Netherlands. I opened the new app and saw this huge, almost full-screen intro card.
