USER INTERFACES FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS User Interface plays important role in
deciding the success of the app. The main goal of any app designer should be
making app a daily habit. 40% of app budget is allocated to user
interface design. The common mistakes of designing user
interface are placing buttons smaller in size, placing big or small images in different places and selecting wrong color patterns for views.
Clarity of interface is much required for any app.
User interface should follow standard native app interface standards.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR USER INTERFACE
Expert vs novice users App should be efficient for expert user and it
should provide information to novice users
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR USER INTERFACE
Ideal button size The button size of app should be easily used by
user, if size is less then 1 cm then it is not used by user.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR USER INTERFACE
UI Location Most UI Elements are placed at bottom or placed
at top. Most users hold phone and use thumb as primary
finger for touching. If user is right handed thumb will easily access
the bottom right of screen. If user is left handed thumb will easily Access the bottom left of screen
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR USER INTERFACE
Accounting for motion Flow direction plays important role in designing mobile
app. For example, for a right-handed person, circular flows
with a pivot point at the bottom right of the screen are much easier than linear flows
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR USER INTERFACE
How much is too much The button should be limited, if we place more
no of button then it will be tough even for expert user
