I like to Discover new apps, But Usually I listen to people reviews and keep using the good ones.

Well, both, I guess. Sticking to what works keeps things efficient. But it's also exciting to stumble upon a new app that can streamline a task or spark a new idea.

@oksana_ch It's all about finding that balance reliability and discovery. Sometime a new app can completely transform how we approach things, while old favorites keep us grounded.
Testing a lot of new apps is a pretty big investment of time. Working on a startup and having a shortage of time, I prefer to choose something that works steadily, giving the opportunity to find a cool new tool to others. If I hear a lot of positive feedback about it later, I will use it.

@artyom_zhuravlev That's a smart approach! Letting other test the waters first saves time and ensures you're only adopting tools with proven value.
I tend to try stuff when it launches, lose enthusiasm when i see that it's got a lot of rough edges, then get surprised when it's turned into a big deal a year later. For example, BlueSky! When it blew up just now, I went there to explore, only to see that I'd already checked out the beta a year earlier and created an account, and hated it.

@toby_rowland Totally relatable! It's funny how apps can evolve so much over time. Sometimes revisiting them feels like uncovering a hidden gem you did not you had.

As an anxious person, I stick to what I know works, especially for things like keeping my notes, daily tasks, etc. I'm afraid that new apps might disappear one day and I could lose all my data😩
I'm open to exploring new apps. But it should be much better than the existing apps that I am using.

@girish_gilda It's exciting to explore new apps, but they really need to offer something extraordinary to replace the ones we already trust.

If the app has some additional benefit and thus it can position it as a better product, I see no obstacle to using this app. :)
A switch is merited only when there's an unresolvable FRICTION. More a creature of habit and comfort than an experimenter unless you are doing a Product Reviews or Tear-downs for a living.

@varun_bhagath Friction really is the tipping factor for most of us. Comfort zones are hard to leave unless there's a big incentive or, like you said, it's part of your job to explore!
I like exploring new apps actually. If it solves a problem, then why not!
Launching soon!
I'll try out a new app if I think it has the potential to be superior to the one I'm using now.

Being and remaining curious in life is a sure thing. Personally, I'd say that testing new apps or software helps you stay up to date and probably become more productive.
I'm a great app tester of all kinds, in install/uninstall mode and sometimes some match my expectations.
I’m definitely into exploring new apps! I love seeing how new tools can make things easier or more fun. But if I find something that really works, I’ll stick with it for a while.
Exploring new apps can be an exciting journey of discovery, while sticking to what works provides comfort and reliability. Both paths have their charm—one fuels curiosity and innovation, while the other fosters consistency and trust. It’s all about striking a balance that resonates with your needs and goals! 🌟
