Did your app just fail to Grab Attention? Lookout for the common UX Pitfalls in App Design.











Did your app just fail to Grab Attention Mobile App Development Compaies? 

Developing effective mobile application is not just anybody’s cup of cake. And not all designed applications make it big in the play stores. Mobile application development companies really need to break their neck to push their applications to the top 10 list in the app store. Yet most of them fail miserably to draw public attention at all.

Now, companies and mobile developers cite endless excuses when their application fails to revert back desired results. But, if honestly, one needs to dig deeper into the matter, then one can easily discover the root cause that works silently behind app failure. The recent survey showed that 88% customers discard a website or an application once experiencing a poor performance. App performance is directly linked to the UX/UI of an application and hence it is crucial to have a clear concept of the possible user experience flaws, which can be avoided to offer a seamless involvement with the application.


Before we indulge ourselves into understanding the UX pitfalls, it is important to give a clear definition of user experience especially for those who are still in confusion with this term.


Hence, what do you know about UX??
UX or user experience is nothing but the overall experience a person has when using a particular application especially in terms of seamless or pleasing usage. It is an amalgamation of tasks to optimize a product to ensure effective and enjoyable user experience. Often, it is used as an alternative to a user interface. But, these two terms are highly contradictory to one another. User Interface, on the other hand, defines the look, feel, and presentation as well as user interaction with the application.


Now, it is time to identify the common pitfalls in app design to guide a mobile application developer.

ü Confusion between UX and UI is nothing uncommon especially among amateur developers who consider both the terms as the same sides of a coin. Hence, this concept needs to be cleared first before proceeding further with the other steps.

ü Design methods are inappropriate and inconsistent which can eventually hamper the proper functioning of the application. Care must take to avoid designing a poor UX and a difficult UI, which fail to operate seamlessly across devices leading to their omission from the user's phone within a month of its installation.

ü Language that is alien to the users must be avoided at all cost since not all users are that technically qualified to comprehend the terms which otherwise might sound nothing less than a jargon.

ü Not all apps require login page even though few others necessitate registration and login details filled in before using the application. However, the process must not annoy the user so much that they uninstall it eventually.

ü Overstuffing of the apps and absence of white space is crucial to offering only those components that are vital and in direct relation to the objective of the application. Too many features stuffed up will only confuse the user. The inclusion of a white space offers respite for the designers and users as well to prevent the page from being overloaded and stuffed up.

ü Complicated UX and content is yet another flaw wherein a clumsy and complex content can because of irritation for the user. UX design must include such features which are vital and content must be simple such that any layman can easily understand, directly explaining the features rather than beating around the bush for nothing.

ü Lack of extensive research can be considered a harmful flaw. And by research, we not only refer to what users expect from the designers but also what they are getting from the competitors. Hence, impressive designs are not enough to please them rather connecting with them must be the core objective.

ü Beware of plagiarism, which means your user is expecting something that is unique and original. It is fine to derive inspiration from the online design samples and or templates but blindly copying them can lead to copyright issues detrimental to the app survival.
ü Prioritize user feedback at regular intervals boosts up UX designers and provides valuable insights into what is actually the popular market demand? Not paying attention to feedback can harm the application in the end.


Final Words

Perfection in work only comes with years of experience added. Availing a dedicated mobile app developer can contribute towards designing a UX and UI for an application that is devoid of flaws.
