Not having an app is always better than having a messy mobile app that doesn’t work well. Most of the time, users prefer to use fast charging apps. Gone are those days when people used to think that only feature-rich apps can get the profitable success in the market. Nowadays, users are not only concerned about features, they need a fast app, they are looking for apps that provide smooth navigation, impressive user experience, etc. Here is a list of UX mistakes that are usually made when designing an effective mobile app. Also, you will get a guide on how to notice such problems.
#1 Make the screen too cluttered
If you have multiple creative ideas, putting them all together in one app would overwhelm you. Not only would this make everything so messy, but users could get confused, which is not acceptable for an effective mobile app. Also, too much of everything would slow down your app speed which users hate even more!
Hence, it is advisable not to move away from the sole purpose of devising the application. You should pay much more attention to an impressive combination of UX and UI. Simple illustrations, clean visualization, and adoption of cutting-edge technologies to improve the usability and effectiveness of your mobile app can result in fruitful business success.
#2 Thinking about a good user experience is the exclusive responsibility of the designer
Technically, mobile app designers are responsible for providing an impressive user experience. However, you would be making a big mistake if you don’t think about improving this UX with the help of the collective efforts of the entire app development team. When an app development process begins, along with designers and developers, project managers and analysts are also involved from the beginning. In designing the app, in addition to the designers, all these members are like simple users, who can give their honest opinion on what the user experience looks like. Using this feedback, making necessary UX improvements a breeze.
#3 Unlabeled Icons
You should not make the mistake of thinking that your users will understand everything just by looking at the icons present in the application. Yes, popular icons like ‘home’, ‘settings’, ‘search’, ‘back’ etc. they are fine. Users are well aware of these basic icons. However, if you use any custom icon in your mobile app, you should not forget to add a proper tag to it. It would help the users to understand the functionalities of that particular icon. Any unlabeled icon would confuse users.
Apart from these aspects mentioned above, putting too much content is another huge mistake that is often made today. Yes, providing premium content is obviously appreciated, but too much could ruin the game.
