Apps for kids is a totally difference space than games, on-demand apps, or any other part of the app ecosystem aimed at teens or adults. In this episode of Retention Masterclass, Peggy Anne Salz and I chat with the product manager for Sago Mini World, Brennan Clark.

We chat about why ... the signs of churn ... the causes ... the solutions ... and how to stop churn before it even starts.
