Writing a mobile app for Android or iOS is easy but designing a great mobile app can be a challenge. Learn how to write better mobile apps with these ten quick tips!
1: Keep it Focused
The best mobile apps focus on doing one thing very well. You should be able to describe what your app does in one sentence without any “ands”. The user should be able to launch it, use it and put it away in seconds having used its primary purpose. If a user has to navigate through four levels of menus to be productive, your app will be quickly uninstalled.
2: Use the Back Button Appropriately
On Android, the native OS supplied back button should navigate the user back consistently. On iOS where the back button is software controlled, you should always supply a back button and it should always be in the top-left hand corner where the user expects it. Following the conventions of back-button behavior and location specific to your operating system is critical to making your app meet your user’s expectations.
