If at any point you think it's a good idea to build a "user tour" in your app, stop and go for walk.

Your app should be self-explanatory. If your users are confused (or your data shows low participation rates on key features), you need to revisit these design decisions:

1. Navigation
2. Hierarchy & layout
3. Empty states
4. Copywriting

You have to assume the average mobile app user has the intelligence of a lizard. Make it so abundantly obvious how the app works—even if it comes at the sacrifice of power users. After all, you need users before you can have power users.
