App Design Tips
1) Design itself is not the purpose. The purpose is to provide the user with the best way of solving a peculiar task, with
minimum time and attention required.
2) Minimalistic design is widely appreciated: it doesn't distract, it's easier to understand, it allows users to
concentrate on the functional, practical use of the app.
3) When an average user gets acquainted with an app, the first thing checked is how consistently it works, how easy
the navigation is.
4) Each icon/button has a direct functional meaning. But it's always good when it's beautifully, attractively designed.
5) If you have, for example, one icon/button on a screen, users will definitely pay attention to its design. If there's an overuse, the design of each icon is likely to be lost in the whole colorful picture.
6) While smartphone screens are small, crowding buttons for the sake of reducing the number of screens may be lethal.
7) There is always a main button with main feature, used in the first place, the one most frequently tapped. This button
should be placed at the bottom of the screen, where a thumb can easily reach it.
8) Thumb is the finger that's used for one-handed tapping. Design must mean convenience for that. That's essential for people who use their smartphone with just one hand,
while the other holds a cup of coffee, a briefcase, a remote control, whatever.
9) For many people, there's no time to appreciate pictures on the background or a special shape of buttons. All this,
along with color palette, can serve just as a tasty addition by the first impression.
10) Users tend to spend a small amount of time within the application. Details are often skipped. The same can
happen to the features that aren't obviously shown. That's because we use apps on the go, and there are so many
things around, that also require our attention, so we take a brief look at the screen, then concentrate on something
else, and so on.
