Project Management SaaS • March 2024
View Related Discussions →
Step 1: User Query
"Why are users churning from our mobile app but staying on desktop?"
Step 2: RedditInsights Analysis
Data Analyzed: 2M+ conversations across 850+ subreddits (Jan 2023 - Mar 2024)
Trend Chart Revealed: Mentions of "slow sync" spiked significantly in Feb 2024
Top Complaint Clusters:
• "mobile app takes 30+ seconds to sync" - 12K+ mentions
• "desktop instant, mobile laggy" - 8K+ mentions
• "gave up on mobile, desktop only now" - 6K+ mentions
Cross-Community Pattern: Same users praising "instant sync" in r/Notion (thousands of users) were complaining about "slow mobile" in r/productivity (same user base)
Step 3: Key Discovery

Users weren't leaving because of missing features—they were leaving because mobile sync was significantly slower than competitors. This pattern appeared across 20+ different productivity tool discussions but was never mentioned in user surveys (users just said "it's slow").

Step 4: Action Taken
  • • Prioritized mobile sync optimization
  • • Reduced sync time dramatically
  • • Shipped in 6 weeks (April 2024)
Step 5: Measured Impact
  • • Mobile churn: reduced by 30%+

Step 2: RedditInsights Analysis
Data Analyzed: 900K+ comments from 150K+ unique users across 200+ finance subreddits
