2. Personification and Animalization of Apps - Apps are being personalized with the use of animal characters or famous actors to generate more engagement and fun experiences.
3. User Experience with a Twist - Changing the user experience of mundane activities, like checking the weather, can create an opportunity for disruption through the use of humor, entertainment, and interactivity.
Industry Implications
1. Weather Apps Industry - Developers of weather apps can consider using humor and entertainment to change the user experience for consumers.
