UX Challenge Scenario Reflection

I was torn with today’s scenario. While I understand the business and marketing perspective of an interstitial promo, as a user, I hate them. Interstitials are intrusive, and a little piece of me crumbles every time I encounter them. After reading the prompt and attempting to understand the user intention, the interstitial feels like it is breaking the unwritten contract between the company (app) and the consumer. She was already in the store and committed to shopping with the store, but now needs to fight off a popup advertisement. While the value proposition might be useful to the shopper, I feel like it could be delivered via a different medium (email newsletter or social).

On a different note, I’ve been giving both Grammarly and the Hemingway App a whirl. I’ve done a bit of back and forth, but haven’t fallen in love with either.

Have you used either tool? Do you find them useful? What are your thoughts on app popup messages? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
