5 Tips For How To Design Mobile Apps
2
1. Know Your Device

• You need to be fully aware of the power of your
  chosen operating system when designing mobile
  apps. iOS and Android are wildly different
  platforms to build on, so confirming that you can
  match your designs to the systems abilities and
  limitations before you start is incredibly
  important and can sometimes be overlooked.

2. Know Your User

• Much like everything digital, enhancing the user
  experience is absolutely critical. Especially
  with mobile applications, people have many
  options on the marketplace, so if your app isnt
  engaging, fast, easy to navigate or caters to
  their needs, they wont use it. Understand
  exactly who is using your app, design to their
  needs and experience the benefits of a great user
  experience.

3. Feedback Is King

• When designing a mobile app its incredibly
  important to test the app with users for valuable
  feedback. This feedback indicates what areas need
  changing and what areas are working. It also will
  help find bugs and iron out any errors before the
  app goes live to your users. Feedback is crucial
  in order to develop a highly functional mobile
  app that will bring in a maximum return on
  investment.

4. Ensure Responsive Design

• The responsive design elements found in todays
  websites are equally important in todays
  applications. Mobile devices and tablets come in
  many shapes and sizes. If your content is not
  optimized to be displayed correctly on their
  screen, then your users will go to another app.
  Ensuring that your app has a responsive design
  and users can easily view and access the content
  on your app is the key to a successful mobile app.

5. Keep It Simple Not Basic

• Mobile users dont need more information they
  need less. Remember, they are viewing the
  information from a small screen on their device.
  More information can mean a cluttered mess for
  the user. It may sound bizarre but you want to
  display only the important information as little
  as you can. Keep it simple but not basic.
