16. A Great App is
easy to use…

17. Errors
Example:
Why it matters: Be clear and specific
on what and where the user’s error is.
Oftentimes users perform unintended
actions or actions that didn’t lead to
desired results – and allowing them to
go back and try again means they
won’t be frustrated, guilty and
will recover easily and keep moving on
the flow.

18. Don’t use more than
3 primary colors
Example:
Why it matters: combining three colors
is difficult, so for most cases more than
that should be avoided. You can use a
secondary color like black, white or
grey for a large text. This way you keep
your App neutral and better to read.

19. Use language that the user understands
Why it matters: You can set the whole tone off your app with language. Is it an App
used for business? Make sure your language is set in the right tone.

20. Use icons who are
easy to recognize
Example:
Why it matters: Icons must first and
foremost communicate meaning.
When it’s not clear what the icon
represents, it immediately loses its
meaning and becomes nothing more
than visual noise. What makes an icon
great is the fact that its meaning can
be understood without reading a label.

21. Use pictures who
give a point of focus
Example:
Why it matters: You can use photo’s to
let people get their focus to the right
place on the screen. The most
powerful iconic images consist of a few
meaningful elements, with minimal
distractions.
