Most users don’t rage quit an app – they quietly slip away.

They stop opening it. Notifications get ignored.

And one day… they long-press the icon and hit uninstall.

For most apps, that’s the end of the story.

But the smart ones?

They’ve built one last trap.

It’s a screen that pops up just after a user long-press the app icon.

Here are what top apps doing.

1. Dancefitme

2. Motivation App

3. Stoppr

 

4. Creatipi

5. Arch AI

6. Super Note

  7. Muscle Monster

Why It Works

It’s not about tricking the user. It’s about timing.

At the uninstall stage, users are vulnerable.

Maybe they feel the app’s too expensive. Or they didn’t see value quickly.

These paywalls inject friction into the exit – and offer a reason to stay.

Even a 5–10% save rate at this stage can translate to $100K+ in monthly revenue for large apps.

The Takeaway

If you’re building or scaling an app in 2025, don’t just think about onboarding.

Think about offboarding.

That final moment is a goldmine.

Use it wisely and you might win back the customer just before they’re gone for good.
