Gamification enhances user engagement in applications by incorporating game-like elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards. This approach motivates users to complete tasks and stick with an app by making experiences more enjoyable and rewarding. For instance, fitness apps often use challenges and rewards to encourage users to achieve their health goals. The psychological aspects of gamification tap into users’ competitive instincts and desire for achievement, ultimately fostering greater loyalty and interaction with the application or service.
