Importance of empty states

It could be a crucial part of user experience. 

Depending on existence of empty states in app,  your user can:

  • temporarily or permanently leave your app,
  • be more engaged and productive.

A useful empty state tells you what it’s for, why you’re seeing it, and how you can fill it up.
