5 Tips for Designing Mobile App User Interface
Overview A mobile user interface design can make or break an app. At the conceptualization stage of mobile UI design, the simplest and basic things can alter user experience and ensure retention. Basics such as consistency of views, interface clarity and feedback to the user are fairly uncomplicated to understand and are generally accepted by most mobile UI designers.
However, there are a few things that are often ignored by UI designers and can impact the user experience by a notch or two. Here are five important tips for mobile UI designs that sometimes go unnoticed.
5 Tips
1. The interactivity quotient
There is no need to compromise with
the
interactive

of

to
limited screen space. A good mobile UI design must have
Task driven approach for the right user set
Usability for the target audience
Smaller learning curve
Good response and feedback time
2. The User Variable
The user group for the app will inevitably consist of experts and novices - accounting for each type helps. Mobile UI designers should “hope for the best, and plan for the worst�, keeping the application efficiency levels for these two distinct sets in mind while maintaining consistency in data flow and smooth function execution.
3. The Tick-Finger There is no way to replicate finger movement with pixel-precision of a mouse cursor. The answer to that is finger-friendly mobile UI design. Allow enough space for different sized fingers. If the buttons of your mobile UI are too small or placed too closely together, users won’t be able to tap them accurately adding to their frustration.
Just Remember: • We hold our phones in different ways • Our fingers are not of the same size
4. The Rule of Thumb Mobile UI designers must understand how a person holds the mobile, and applies
hand
gestures.
The
target
audience is bound to include right as well as left-handed users. Circular flows towards the bottom of the screen are more
convenient
than
linear
ones.
Placing elements at the top of the screen makes them harder to reach. Hence, it is advisable to keep essential buttons towards the bottom of the screen.
5. The Clutter Element
It is always advisable to cut clutter from your mobile UI design. Quick and easy should be the mantra here. They must have less to think about for your app to achieve success.
