No surprise here:  Price is the most important factor when shopping with a smartphone. If users feel that the price-performance ratio in the app is fair, they are more likely to make purchases. This applies more to young users (<40 years; 53%) than to over-40s (46%).

For 41% of digital natives, it is important that the payment process is simple. Only 33% of digital immigrants say the same. Transparency and reliability play an important role for all generations and are ranked 3rd, 4th and 5th in the criteria ranking.

The acceptance of in-app purchases is increasing: 39% of Germans have already purchased digital content directly via an app instead of via the provider's website. A further 25% can imagine doing so in the future. This development is being driven by 18 to 39-year-olds, while older people are more hesitant.

App users are generally somewhat younger.
