Quotes from Rosie Hoggmascall:

“It really depends on what you're trying to find out. With user research, there is a number of different methods you can use and they fit with a problem that you're solving"

“It's really hard [to find participants for research], things are on the spectrum here. One end is cheap and free, and the other end is expensive. "

"Not doing enough [of mobile user research], sometimes people just listen to like app reviews and support tickets. And if that is your user research, it's not enough"
