In a nutshell, that\u2019s what the mobile app design user experience is all about. It emphasizes creating seamless, user-friendly, and intuitive experiences that chime with what the target audience wants, how they want it, whether it\u2019s about an Apple or Android phone, tablet, or even a wearable device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/screens-process-lo-fi-to-hi-fi-mobile-1.png\" alt=\"screens process lo fi to hi fi mobile 1\" class=\"wp-image-35474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/screens-process-lo-fi-to-hi-fi-mobile-1.png 750w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/screens-process-lo-fi-to-hi-fi-mobile-1-700x280.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The best mobile app design takes into account the function of the app. The look. The feel. The need it fulfills in a user\u2019s life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the Twitter app as an example. Like most big tech companies, it offers a masterclass in getting app UX design right (if we ignore the constant tinkering and updates that seem to annoy half the user-base, of course). Almost anyone, anywhere in the world \u2013 whoever they are, whatever device they\u2019re on \u2013 can pick up the Twitter app and use it efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you nail app design UX that really excites your users, let\u2019s look at the best mobile app design practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-principles-of-mobile-app-design\">5 principles of mobile app design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-usability\">1. Usability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You have limited space on a mobile screen. Don\u2019t waste it. We\u2019ve all come across apps that fill the screen with clutter, or make X\u2019s on pop-ups too small to press (rendering the whole app unusable \u2013 and a candidate for uninstallation). The trick is to find the balance between what your users need to see, and what you need to show to help them achieve their goal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-familiarity\">2. Familiarity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Users like what they know. Whether they realize it or not, they\u2019ll carry that over even when an app design changes with future updates. Maybe it\u2019s muscle memory. Maybe it\u2019s just subconscious. A really good example of this is the \u2018search\u2019 icon. Instinctively, we look for this in the top-right corner of the screen. Because that\u2019s where it\u2019s found on almost every app and website. Use data to see what works. Build out from there. There\u2019s no need to reinvent the wheel if it\u2019s clear that users are familiar with the existing design (you can just make it smarter).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-consistency\">3. Consistency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/importance-of-design-consistency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Consistency<\/a> is important to create seamless user experiences. Design consistency is all about making sure your app follows a single principle throughout. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/influencing-product-ux-with-colors-imagery-typography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">colors<\/a> for a particular action, for example, are always the same or feature the same words. A green tick for \u2018approve\u2019. A red \u2018X\u2019 for no. It allows users to navigate an app without even thinking about it, or worrying they\u2019re on the wrong screen entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-accessibility\">4. Accessibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern apps need to appeal to a seriously broad range of users \u2013 so that means taking into account the physical limitations of certain users, but also the many different devices that are being used (and where they\u2019re being used \u2013 not everyone has access to super-fast internet speeds). You should also consider how your users are accessing functions. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcknightsseniorliving.com\/home\/columns\/marketplace-columns\/3-ways-voice-first-technology-can-help-older-adults-in-the-era-of-social-distancing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><u>51% of those over 55 rely on voice functions<\/u><\/a> to access services within an app. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/design-system-accessibility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accessible app<\/a> should reach as many users as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-appeal\">5. Appeal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You want your users to enjoy their time with your app. So, \u2018appeal\u2019 should feature high on your mobile app design needs. The app shouldn\u2019t just be a means to an end. You\u2019ll want to deliver an experience that they want to use again and again \u2013 whether your aim is to get them to spend more money, or simply spend more time with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-achieve-the-best-mobile-app-design\">How to achieve the best mobile app design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-create-an-easy-learning-experience\">1. Create an easy learning experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Users like an experience that does what they need it to do, in the way they need it, without them even having to really think about it. Building an easy learning experience is the way to \u2018train\u2019 users to use your site.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it as a video game. In <em>Super Mario Bros.<\/em>, players are \u2018trained\u2019 to achieve their goals \u2013 press A lets them jump. Jumping on an enemy eliminates the threat. Eliminating an enemy rewards them with a coin (success!). By the time they face the final boss, players have learned all the necessary mechanics that allow them to win the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image5.png\" alt=\"best mobile app design creates a great user experience \u2013 just like the Super Mario game\" class=\"wp-image-36327\" width=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image5.png 888w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image5-533x300.png 533w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image5-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px\" \/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/tips\/super-mario-bros-tips-and-secrets-nes-classic-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prima <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/tips\/super-mario-bros-tips-and-secrets-nes-classic-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Games<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/tips\/super-mario-bros-tips-and-secrets-nes-classic-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The same can be true of a good UX of an app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steep learning curves will, inevitably, frustrate and discourage people from using an app. For this reason, you\u2019ll want to apply minimalist app design principles that keep things really clear and streamlined. So, for instance, making key functions like a search bar or a link to the home page easy to reach and highly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want to make users trawl through multiple menu options to reach these, and other popular actions. At the same time, you can add necessary but less popular functions within a collapsible menu, to reduce on-screen clutter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-use-push-notifications-wisely\">2. Use push notifications wisely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Push notifications might not be a core part of your mobile app, but they play a major part in the overall app design UX since they help increase user engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s really important to make sure you\u2019re not just spamming app users with push notifications all the time. Deploy them only when relevant, and when users will consider them valuable. A great example of this is through Uber, which pushes through notifications to a user\u2019s phone when they\u2019re offering a specific deal, usually on a specific day. Or Duolingo, which sends practice reminders when a user hasn\u2019t logged on after a specific number of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image2.png\" alt=\"uolingo as a great example of beautiful app design\" class=\"wp-image-36329\"\/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.duolingo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.duolingo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Play<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.duolingo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have access to the right data, you might try the same thing \u2013 sending push notifications on days when they\u2019re more likely to place an order, or when offering sales on items in a range they\u2019ve previously purchased from before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where possible, give your app users control over when and why they receive push notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-put-familiarity-at-the-center\">3. Put familiarity at the center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Base your beautiful app design on what works and what users are comfortable using. It\u2019s easy to want to create all-new experiences that do things in new ways. But the truth is, when it comes to the best mobile app design concepts, building on what\u2019s come before is often best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because users won\u2019t even need to think about how to use your app. They\u2019ve already done it before, on a thousand apps and websites. The trick is to make it <em>feel<\/em> new and engaging and on-brand, without disrupting the user journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mobile-screens.png\" alt=\"mobile screens\" class=\"wp-image-32988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mobile-screens.png 750w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mobile-screens-700x281.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to any eCommerce app and you\u2019ll find an experience that\u2019s very similar to the one provided by Amazon. The basket icon at the top-right of the screen. The product images, followed by a description, then the option to \u2018Buy now\u2019. And that\u2019s because Amazon has \u2018trained\u2019 app users in how to purchase products. So, it makes sense for others to follow Amazon\u2019s lead, to help increase conversions and build an experience that\u2019s familiar to users across the globe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-remember-that-your-users-are-on-the-move\">4. Remember that your users are on the move<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile app design means you\u2019re not just building experiences for the small screen. You\u2019re building experiences that fit the user\u2019s environment. You can\u2019t blame (or stop) users from using mobile devices on the go, right? But you can craft minimalist app design experiences that \u2018fit\u2019 into that portable landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, they may be on your app. But then a sharp dress catches their eye in a shop window. A friend calls them over. That may break the user\u2019s concentration. If you make it simple for them to dive straight back in where they were, it doesn\u2019t have to break the user flow. Look at how users are using your mobile app, too. Are they looking to be entertained for endless hours or want a two-minute distraction between real-world tasks?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the design side, remember users who are on the move will lack precision motor control, so don\u2019t make buttons and actions fiddly. Think touch and gyro to help them navigate. And consider what users see. Whether you\u2019re building a website or an app, designs should always be simple to parse at a single glance. This becomes even more important for users on the go, bobbing their heads as they walk and getting distracted by the world around them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-don-t-clutter-your-design\">5. Don\u2019t clutter your design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prioritize simplicity in mobile UX design. That\u2019s all users really want from a mobile application. Just look at the top downloads in any app store.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To bring this to life in your own beautiful app design, avoid clutter at all costs. It risks confusing and frustrating users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve developed a smart translation app. There are loads of elements you could squeeze onto the page. Dictionaries, \u2018word of the day\u2019, options to translate voice and text, take a test\u2026 But decide what\u2019s the core action you want on any single screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A clear focus means you won\u2019t be tempted to clutter up the screen. Build this minimalist app design around one-handed navigation. Whether it\u2019s a text field or a call-to-action button, it needs to be easy to see, read, and reach with one thumb.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep visual hierarchy top of mind. Use images, colors, different fonts, and sizes to direct users to the right place. Instead of using loads of text, display information visually wherever possible \u2013 a really great example of this is Google Calendar\u2019s Schedule View.&nbsp;Graphic design is still important in UI design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-use-autocomplete-and-one-click-actions-where-possible\">6. Use autocomplete and one-click actions where possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of your \u2018simple\u2019 design look for other ways to remove friction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/process-problems-error-mistake.png\" alt=\"process problems error mistake\" class=\"wp-image-32986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/process-problems-error-mistake.png 750w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/process-problems-error-mistake-700x280.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Auto-completing forms, offering auto-sign-in, and one-click actions are good examples, especially if you\u2019re deploying an eCommerce app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, everyone knows how hard it is to correctly input an address on a mobile screen. And, even if it isn\u2019t, they may still need to look elsewhere (the contacts app, a wallet, even a little black book) to make sure they get it right. Autocomplete forms remove this. As do quick actions like \u2018order again?\u2019. In one tap, users have completed the user journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-remember-about-voice-ui\">7. Remember about voice UI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re focusing on beautiful app design, it\u2019s easy to build around touch. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, we consider the visual elements of the design first. We ask \u2018does it look nice?\u2019 and \u2018is it a minimalist app design?\u2019 and wonder what buttons a user needs to press to achieve their objectives. But don\u2019t neglect voice user interface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/voice-user-interface\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Voice UI<\/u><\/a> \u2013 present in every smart speaker and almost every modern smartphone \u2013 lets your users interact verbally. VUI may become as much important as visual design in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No need to touch or even look at the screen. It makes your app instantly more accessible, increasing your user base to include those with motor disabilities (or just those who want to use your app while driving their car).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design process for planning Voice UI can take a long time to plan and execute when it comes to the app development process. Such user interface design requires a lot of ux research, testing and an extensive prototyping stage. Yet, it\u2019s worth doing, especially if you want to make your user interface design accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-those-tips-in-your-next-app-design-ux\">Use Those Tips in Your Next App Design UX <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing is more important than your users. They\u2019re the ones downloading your app, coming back each day. In the competitive digital space, designers and developers can\u2019t afford to create unfulfilling user experiences. The kind that overwhelms or leaves them lost, forcing them to hit \u2018Uninstall\u2019 faster than The Flash can sprint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good mobile app design UX has trained us all to expect the app to serve our needs, not the other way around. User-centric designs need to be intuitive to navigate and simple to use. As natural as opening the mail or closing a door.
