Hi, I’ve realised that asking people to download the app by putting in an email adds an extra friction point without people realising the value of the app. If people download without entering an email is there the chance to see how many people have downloaded the app or capturing their email later? Thanks ---

If you add features like favorite or chat, users will need to sign in via email. You can also place tabs in the menu to display the option to sign in. ---

Interesting. Would this mean they could download and access the app without the sign in? ---
