We're in the midst of an energy revolution, with smart home technology giving consumers more control than ever over their energy usage. The market is expected to grow from under $1 billion today to over $300 billion by 2030. Smart thermostats, smart lighting, smart appliances - the possibilities for reducing energy waste and saving money seem endless. But there's a catch - these systems are only as effective as their user interfaces allow them to be.
A good rule to remember when designing surveys is: No one wants to answer your survey (unless they're really really mad or you are paying them). This rule is especially true for in-app surveys. People are using your app to do a job, accomplish a task, or waste time, and your need for data to prove to the Powers That Be that you and your team are doing a great job and deserve a raise is interrupting what the user wants to do. So think very carefully before implementing an in-app survey.
