1. Don’t go for the ideal design at first

While crafting a design for a mobile app, it is not possible to attain ultimate design at the starting. Yes, even if you have matched all the requirements but there are chances that post user testing, you get some more set of requirements for your design. That’s why better to go with iterative design models such as rapid prototyping design (RAD). With RAD, you do testing, collect feedback and design to make it better in each iteration cycle.

2. Avoid web design experience while designing mobile apps

As we all know Mobile and Web are completely different platforms, these platforms have a different layout, screen sizes and lots of many. So, users want to experience a unique user-interface and design pattern in mobile apps. Avoid putting underlined links while designing mobile apps. Instead, design separate buttons for each underlined links.

3. Avoid jargon in your App content

Do not stuff jargon in your app content. Instead, put Content in such a way that it is understandable yet appealing so that your app can connect with your users. Make sure to have proper font and font size.

4. Avoid designing blank screen for loading purpose

A blank screen is very frustrating for app users. It seems that your app is inactive. So, while loading any content, come up with some creative alternative to engage the user and feel them that your app is responsive. Well, you can use a placeholder to provide users with some idea as to where the content will be loaded. And when it loads, replace the placeholder with actual content.

5. Don’t design dead-end screen

Dead end screens are awkward for the app users as these pages do not show any useful information to the users. These dead-end screens confuse users and they have no clue what to do next. Make sure to navigate users with some possibly useful information in a creative way.
