Essential Points to Consider for Facilitating a
Smooth Mobile App Design
The year 2019 already witnessed almost 2.5
billion smartphone users, and these numbers are
only going to grow in 2020 and the future. Its a
difficult task to keep your app relevant to the
changing technologies and demands.

1. Simplified Navigation
Navigation from one feature to another is a
crucial aspect of app design. Hence, the design
must be according to the demands and expectations
of the customers. It includes developing clear
buttons with proper texts without any confusing
jargon. The categories and features must align
appropriately, without any overlapping. Plus,
users must find it easy to go back by keeping
them engaged in key elements. An essential point
to note while designing navigation is that it
should be visible throughout the app and must
follow the same pattern everywhere.

2. Convenient User Interface
User interface consists of everything right from
organizing features, content, data blocks, space,
and other functions. Hence, help your users not
to lose their track between different app
functionalities. It starts with developing a
mobile app design that is intuitive enough for
both first-timers and repeat users. A designer
must create an app by thinking from a users
perspective and that if they can understand each
feature in a fraction of seconds.

3. Typography and Content
Affordances and signifiers are two critical
aspects of a responsive mobile app design that
makes the whole experience intuitive for users.
They help in understanding the dynamics between
technology and its perception by human minds.
Affordances can be of various types like visual,
languages, patterns, and symbolic. The primary
function of these elements is to prompt users to
do something without explicitly spelling it out.
It can include raised buttons, language buttons
that ask the user to do some action, up/down
arrow patterns, and real-life symbols like
bubbles. Apart from this, an app design must
follow the rule of the thumb.

4. Readability and Inputs
Readability is probably one of the vital aspects
of designing a mobile app as smartphones have
small screens. Since it is a difficult task to
fit in all the information in such a small
user-interface, content should short and easily
readable. Plus, users should also be able to skim
it without reading every word. Users must also be
able to access data on the low network to enable
a seamless user experience. Further, tap targets
and sizes are an essential factor to consider.
The targets must be big enough to tap, instead of
making them smaller and increasing the chances of
wrong taps. The target size of 10 x 10 mm is the
ideal size, so that users have enough space
between two or more than two buttons.
