    Users tell us that they want more from their apps — one or two fea­tures doesn’t sat­isfy their needs. They also tell us that they want “sim­ple” apps. Keep in mind that “sim­ple” should not be con­fused with “sim­plis­tic.” Sim­plic­ity should not be accom­plished by sac­ri­fic­ing power. Sim­plic­ity is the user expe­ri­ence. With a clut­ter of apps on their device that just do one or two things, users con­stantly switch between them — which is counter-productive. In fact, users tell us that they can’t even remem­ber what infor­ma­tion is in which app. The users are demand­ing more sim­plic­ity and com­plete­ness in their apps, and these two con­cepts should not negate one another. In addi­tion, due to the nature of sim­plis­tic apps, they don’t have stick­i­ness with users and are con­stantly replaced.
