Design Mobile App With The Best User Experience. How?
Overview
Mobile technology has proven to be a great equalizer for business. Small startups with
their mobile applications are now in a position to take on big brands with ease.
Overview
As mobile technology develops and becomes an integral part of everyday life, mobile user
experience (UX) is taking center stage, as the reason that separates successful mobile
applications from unsuccessful ones. Even if the UX designers are not involved in the
actual design process, knowing some basic concepts of mobile application design still helps
them produce better concepts and provide better feedback to the interface designers.

Design Mobile App With The Best User Experience.
Design for interruption
Your design isn’t always
perfect
Above all, follow your
own experience
1. Keep it simple & short
Mobile users neither have the time or the inclination
to read instruction manuals. Prompts and coach marks
are fine, but as the UX developer, if you have to put up
FAQs in your app, you’ve probably gone wrong
somewhere. The simpler the app, the better it is.
2. Pay attention to platform UX
Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android and rest of the platform developers
have invested billions in their designs. Developing mobile
application interfaces that do not work seamlessly with the
operating system will possibly make your brand team happy, but
probably not the users. Take a cue from the OS-native interface kit,
and incorporate your interface elements subtly without altering the
underlying functions.
3. Identify your users
Mobile users fall in one of the two categories — hunters
looking for specific information or a specific task, and
gatherers looking to browse or fill time. For hunters, focus on
features that accomplish tasks with ease and in the least
number of steps. For gatherers, give them fast access to a
broad set of information, and identify possible ways to retain
them.
4. Accomplish tasks
Mobile users expect to accomplish tasks quickly. Each
function of your app should help them with that — discard
everything else. Remember, you can’t afford to waste time
or space. Try to perceive their intent, and aim to deliver the
relevant possibilities to the user.
5. Design for interruption
By design, mobile phones go anywhere with the user and accomplish
hundreds of tasks, interruptions become inevitable — either in real
life, or from within the phone. With simple design elements and
clean interface, you reduce the cognitive load on the user, making it
less likely for them to disengage from the app. It is imperative to
ensure that it is easy to pick up from where they left off if need be.
6. Your design isn’t always perfect
Even the most well designed UX contains some unseen flaws
when exposed to the real world. This may start before users
get their hands on it. A top-down approach of shrinking your
desktop experience is not the way to proceed for a mobile
platform.
7. Above all, follow your own experience
Remember, that above all, the differences between a mobile experience and traditional digital
design is that the small, slow hardware mean there is little room for overly flabby layout and
feature sets akin to the desktop. Even if you have no experience designing mobile, this
constraint near enough forces you into following classic design best practices with more time
to spend on truly innovating with the app as a whole.
A sophisticated mobile app is the need of the day whether you are a large enterprise or a startup
project. It opens new business avenues by showcasing you on handheld devices, a platform with
enormous potential. High reliability and delightful user-experience are guaranteed with platform-
specific native mobile apps. With a tremendous growth of Mobile application development
worldwide, entrepreneurs get new dimensions of business growth and profitability.
