Short answer
Among 129 tracked onboarding flows, Lose It has the longest at 70 screens, followed by Rise (60) and JustFit (47) source[1]. The top of the list is dominated by Health & Fitness apps that use long personalization quizzes. For context, the overall median is only 11 screens source[2], so these flows run 4-6x typical length.
Lose It's 70-screen onboarding is the longest tracked — 6x the 11-screen median (n=129 flows, July 2026).

How to apply it
These aren't padding — long fitness and wellness onboardings collect goals, habits, and constraints to generate a tailored plan, which doubles as a commitment device before the paywall. Only 9% of tracked flows reach 30 screens source[4], so treat this list as a category-specific playbook, not a general target.
