Zinnia O'Brien
Chief UI/UX Designer & App Strategist
Zinnia leads the hands-on audit - screen-by-screen review of onboarding, paywalls, and core flows. She has shaped UX for apps at scale and knows what moves conversion in real products.
Jarrah Robertson
Chief Strategist & Founder
Jarrah reviews every audit for business impact - unit economics, monetisation, and what to fix before you spend on ads. 15+ years and 250+ app projects inform what actually matters in your roadmap.
What this is not
Not a junior UI review. Not a one-size-fits-all SaaS UX template. Not an AI tool that scores your screens and emails you a PDF. This is an expert human-led audit from people who bring over 15+ years experience in building and growing apps for a living.
WHAT YOU GET.
A UX audit designed for conversion
Zinnia runs the audit. Jarrah aligns priorities to business outcomes. You get a clear roadmap before you spend more on product or paid acquisition.
Find where users drop off
Zinnia maps install → signup → activation → trial or purchase and pinpoints the screens costing you conversions.
Prioritised fix list
You get quick wins and strategic improvements ranked by impact vs effort - not a generic template or AI-generated checklist.
Built for revenue outcomes
Jarrah stress-tests recommendations against monetisation and LTV so you fix what moves the business, not just what looks nicer.
- Heuristic UX evaluation across onboarding, core flows, and paywall
- Conversion funnel review (install → signup → activation → trial/purchase)
- First-session and retention friction analysis
- Competitor and category benchmark (where relevant)
- Accessibility and clarity checks on key decision screens
- Prioritised roadmap ranked by impact vs effort (quick wins first)
WHY WORK WITH US.
We do what's actually required to help you succeed
Senior UX specialists lead your audit
Zinnia and Jarrah review your app directly - not a junior reviewer or automated tool. You get 15+ years of app UX and growth experience applied to onboarding, paywall, and core flows.
Fix the leaky funnel before you scale spend
Paid acquisition on a broken onboarding or paywall wastes budget. We pinpoint where users drop off so you fix conversion first, then scale traffic with confidence.
A prioritised roadmap in about a week
Most audits deliver in roughly one week: quick wins ranked by impact vs effort, plus strategic recommendations you can hand to your team or our optimisation service.
We reduce product and growth risk
Know what to fix before your next dev sprint or marketing push. Clear evidence and prioritisation lower the risk of building the wrong thing or scaling too early.
Clear deliverables and process
Structured audit scope, funnel review, competitor context where relevant, and a written report you can act on - with transparent next steps if you continue with us.
We actually give a s**t
Unlike template audits or agencies that hand you off, we care about outcomes that move installs, trials, and revenue - because we build and grow apps for a living.

TESTIMONIALS.
Real feedback from teams and founders who've worked with us.
"We came to 44degrees with an app that wasn't ready for launch. While we had a solid understanding of marketing, apps were a completely different world for us.
They helped us optimise our signup flow, onboarding, and paywall, and guided us through the app-specific strategy we were missing, particularly ASO and paid acquisition for apps. Their support helped us understand how growth actually works in the app ecosystem, not just what to do.
When we launched, a combination of our organic momentum and their ASO and ad support took us to #3 in Sports on Google Play and #21 on the App Store in Australia in the first month. We reached profitability (return on ad spend) within 20 days, which was a huge milestone for us.
What made the biggest difference wasn't just the results; it was the guidance. At every stage, we knew what to focus on, what actually mattered, and how to move forward without constantly second-guessing ourselves. Their approach has been thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely supportive. We are so grateful to have found them!"
Em & Josh
Founders, Hooked Up Pty Ltd
"44Degrees was instrumental in bringing SmartTasker from concept to a thriving platform in just a few months from launch. Their end-to-end expertise in app design, onboarding optimisation, targeted user acquisition campaigns and overall go-to-market strategy has been excellent."
Ahmad Dabboussi
Founder & CEO, SmartTasker
"Jarrah & Zinnia's product strategy and UI/UX optimisation experience shows immediately. Their advice has been spot on. We would highly recommend them for both UX design and growth marketing."
Taf C. & Sean D.
Co-Founders at Secondz
"44Degrees didn't just optimise our app; they helped transform our entire business. Going from just a handful of subscribers to over 74,450+ recurring active subscriptions, their holistic expertise, growth marketing and ongoing advice over the years has been second to none. They are true partners in our growth."
Heatley Gilmore
CEO, Camps Australia Wide Pty Ltd
"We honestly wouldn't be where without you. 44Degrees has significantly reduced our CPI and impressively increased our subscription conversion rates by over 500%. Thank you for all the great work. Can't wait to see our new AI-first version of the app! :)"
Vicki Kouvendaris
Founder, PetPawtal
"44Degrees worked hard to meet our deadlines and targets, plus we saw a significant 291% uplift in our in-app subscription conversion rates within just two months. Their strategic approach and advice at every stage was immensely valuable."
Baz P & Stuart B.
Co-Founders at Weyo
"Jarrah and his team have done an outstanding job building our site and mobile web app. Unlike many developers, Jarrah is a marketing expert and ensures that everything is done to help drive traffic."
Robyn Foyster

"Above and beyond. I just checked on iTunes and our app has hit Number 1 in Education and Number 7 in the Top 100 apps in iTunes!!! Awesome result and extremely happy."
Adam Bridle
Director, Platinum Driving Tuition
"What you did for us was truly amazing! Thank you so much for making the time and effort for us, we really appreciate it."
Dr Nikhil Povia
Founder and CEO, CancerAid
"I speak for everyone in saying how grateful we all are for the work, knowledge and support you and your team have provided. Michael Goodhew, our GM of brand was very impressed with the work done by yourself & Zinnia, so again thank you."
Donald Farquhar
Head of Innovation, Compare the Market
"We brought 44Degrees in to help grow PainChek Infant's consumer user base, but what we got went well beyond campaign management. Jarrah and the team quickly identified critical gaps in our app's onboarding and subscription flow, and their UI/UX recommendations led to an 11x improvement in our install-to-trial conversion rate. On the paid acquisition side, their Meta and Apple Search Ads campaigns delivered the strongest in-app subscription conversion activity we'd seen to date - significantly outperforming previous agency efforts. But more importantly, they brought genuine strategic thinking to every conversation. From product positioning to messaging to understanding the nuances of marketing a sensitive health-tech app to parents, they challenged our assumptions constructively and backed everything with data. I'd recommend 44Degrees to any app company looking for a partner that goes deeper than just running ads."

Head of Growth, PainChek Limited

App UX audit questions
An app UX audit is a structured review of how users move through your product - from first open to subscription or purchase. We map friction, drop-off points, and clarity issues, then deliver a prioritised plan so you know what to fix first for conversion and retention.
Your report typically includes: - Heuristic UX evaluation across onboarding, core flows, and paywall - Conversion funnel review (install → signup → activation → trial/purchase) - First-session and retention friction analysis - Competitor and category benchmark (where relevant) - Accessibility and clarity checks on key decision screens - Prioritised roadmap ranked by impact vs effort (quick wins first) Delivered as a written, prioritised roadmap you can act on with your team or with us.
Yes. We audit native iOS and Android apps, responsive web apps, and SaaS products. The same principles apply - onboarding, activation, paywall or pricing pages, and core flows - whether your users arrive from the App Store or a browser.
Zinnia O'Brien leads the UX audit with Jarrah Robertson on strategy and commercial prioritisation. You are not handed off to a junior or a generic consultant, and this is not an automated AI checklist. Senior specialists review your app and deliver the report.
AI tools can score screens and generate generic checklists quickly, but they do not understand your business model, category, or what will move revenue for your app. Our audit is human-led: Zinnia reviews flows screen by screen, Jarrah prioritises fixes against monetisation and LTV, and you get judgement from people who have optimised real apps - not a PDF from a black-box product.
Investment depends on how many platforms you support, how complex your flows are, and whether you need competitor or category benchmarking. We scope this on a free 30-minute strategy call so you get a clear quote before committing - no generic price list that ignores your product.
Analytics accelerate the audit (funnel drop-offs, cohort retention, paywall events). If you do not have clean tracking yet, we can still run a strong heuristic and flow-based audit and tell you what to instrument next.
No. We audit live apps most often, but pre-launch products benefit too - especially before you spend on paid acquisition. Fixing onboarding and paywall before traffic is cheaper than paying to fill a leaky funnel.
