6 Steps to be avoided While in the Mobile App Design Process

People always seek for the best user interactions, so mobile app designers should always keep in mind that they should provide creative interaction design which is tempting to the users while they are using it.  It should be optimized while developing a mobile app.

We should always keep in mind that when the medium changes then according to that we have to change the interaction patterns and designs.  The best example to understand this is that before the introduction of smartphones and touch screens, we had been using desktops, mouse and keyboards showing the up gradation in new technologies that has taken place in the past. Currently, in the technology field, the mobile app development has become the latest trend and the users preference has been also towards it. Thus, our interaction design pattern should be updated. Here are 6 things that Mobile apps development companies must avoid during the mobile app design.

Want a user to sign up an account on it

As a top mobile apps development company, the companies think that their users should have an app.  In such a situation, it is better to make sign-up options and until they create an account let them be out of it.

From a user’s point of view, this can be a devious act because they may think that without knowing about the company why should they go in for sign-in options. If the user creates an account and finds out the services provided by the company is of no use to them, then it can lead to waste of both time and energy of the user. To avoid such a situation, the companies should be able prove the app's value and capability to the user after a sign-in option would not cause any troubles for the user.

Users will always look for a tutorial to check your app assumptions

A new user would not have any knowledge about your app.  He would look for app tutorials which would make it easy for him to use and to know about the app assumptions without any tutorials would be a tough task for him. To showcase your app features and the uses, it is good to have tutorial options into it. Provide an opportunity for the user to understand about your app and the functions in a short period of time.

Don't assume that same interaction patterns works for all apps

Using the same interaction patterns has been already used for previous work for a new work would pave way for disasters. To express it in a simple way, let us take drop down as an example. In the drop down menu, you may find the setting options I think almost all the app will include this options in the drop-down menu, so if you check it you may find the same option will be written in different ways, like that we have to implement it. It makes a way for brand reinforcement but little bit of changes in the app interaction patterns will not make a big difference in your brand.

Using an app design same for the responsive web design

If you are implementing a mobile app design similar to the responsive design, there would be a huge difference between designing for a device versus a standalone application. In the mobile apps, users will always expect certain interaction patterns and interface elements.

To indicate an app or page is loading it is important to have loading spinners

Because of the loading icon, many of the users can lose their patience and discourage them from using the app. So to keep the users engaged in your app, it is good to hide loading time like a Facebook app, if you see the fb app, it will display the timeline and it takes time for loading by hiding it into the top menus, so users can stay in the app.

First of all, users should think twice while allowing notifications

Almost all the mobile app designers make a trick on that, once the app is downloaded by the users they simply send a notification to the app users, so they blindly allow it. We should think before allowing an access for the app notifications, users should think about it. Mobile app designers should make a clear note to the mobile app users about the notification and for what purpose and what's the use of it. Then there would be clarity in the minds of users about your app notifications.
