A strong user engagement is the ultimate outcome of quite a few elements, all working in unison.

For a to-do app, a user engagement should be sign-in each day to add and complete items while for an invoicing app, user engagement might only login once per month. There is no like quantifiable definition of engagement over different products.

How apps increase user engagement?

A user engagement is based on the product and user engaged with a news app like CNN or Flipboard or to-do list app similar Wunderlist if he opens the app every day. This adds difficulty to measure user engagement. Irrespective of the product, expanding user engagement is the key to a successful mobile product.
