Alejandro is correct in that verbs are preferred for
dialogue/confirmation prompts (particularly on 'destructive' actions) in
almost all cases.

However this case is distinct and falls outside the bounds of this
general guideline/ UX tenet due to the placement and positioning of the
items in question - The 'uninstall' button and subsequent confirmation
'uninstall' button are both placed in exactly the same position. This
lead to users not even registering the change in state from taking
action to confirming action (possibly because their focus is on the
seemingly unchanging button, possibly because the button itself is at
least partially obscured as they tap it, etc).

Having discussed this with other design team members and observed the
'Yes/No' choice being used in other cases where the user is committing
to/ confirming 'destructive' actions (e.g. deletion of multiple
contacts) it appears advisable we go with the original recommendation
from our researchers (in the interest of consistency as well as the
reasons described above).

Change uninstall confirmation text and buttons to read:

"Uninstall <AppName>?"

"Yes" "No"
