WOW vs WHY

I have a hypothesis about app design. Once a user downloads your app they believe you are average - 2.5 stars. Every time you make them say "Wow!" you help, excite, or surprise them you gain a half star. However, when they say "Why?" you crash, question, or slow them down you lose a full star. Designing against this hypothesis helps focus the apps and create better user experiences.
