    Competitors employing standard navigation patterns can achieve 25% higher user retention rates (Forrester). This could cost the business potential long-term users.
    How to Fix
    Integrate a bottom tab bar for better access to core functionalities (e.g., Home, Chats, Cart) which can streamline user flow.
