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>?"

The uninstall button showed up twice, and the way that we ask for confirmation is not standard, should be 'yes' or 'no', instead of 'Uninstall' and 'cancel', which are repetition of previous screen."
