2. 7 Brilliant Signs if Your Mobile App Has a Great User Experience
If you want to provide a ravishing user experience, your mobile app
should have a sophisticated design, and yet easy to use. It should have
an attractive color scheme and a smooth navigation between different
UI screens.
In short, your app should have a great user experience. In this post, we
outline 7 most important tips that any tech product or app you are
developing should follow to have the potential of being the Next Big
Thing in marketplace.

3. 1. Elegant UI
A great user experience isn’t just about the user interface, but it helps a
lot. You need a wide variety of icons, from a launcher icon to icons in
menus, dialogs, tabs, the status bar, and lists in different size, color and
shading.
You should help user while taking inputs and showing outputs, so that
the effort is minimum to pull out something valuable within seconds.
Simple yet expressive icons can be used to let the user select the
optimum inputs for an action. One good example of this is social app-
Path. If user really like an item he can choose a heart icon. There are
other options: a winky face, a surprised face, a smiling face and a sad
face. A thumbs up and a thumbs down icon to chose.

5. 2. Addictive
A nice design is one thing, but you also need to see value in it. It must
either solve a problem for you, or be a pleasurable distraction. In other
words, it must be addictive. It can be achieved through the concept of a
completely visual user experience.

7. 3. Fast Start
The Kindle Fire as a product might not be as aesthetically pleasing as
the iPad 2; but what the Kindle Fire does far better than the iPad is
getting the user started – and hooked – straight out of the box. With the
iPad, you need to connect to iTunes to get things started, which can
often be a time consuming and awkward experience for beginners. But
the Kindle Fire comes pre-loaded with your Amazon profile, which
enables most users to start downloading content as soon as they switch
the device on for the first time.

8. 4. Feels Lighter
Most developers save data to the internal memory which is a known
problem for early Android phones with little internal memory resources,
and may cause the most annoying OutOfMemoryError.
Saving the app data to SD card would be preferable when possible, then
default to internal memory when no card/full card is detected. If your app
uses a loads of data from server such as multiple images at a time, you
should always save them to SD card at run time. In such a scenario app
should not start if an SD card is not inserted on to the device. Saving
small bits of information like settings, configuration or session states on
internal memory is fine.

9. 5. Customer Is King
The application should treat the user as an inborn baby, who know
nothing on how to use, and make the best out of the app. Therefore it is
necessary to provide user the help guide or FAQ page to know about the
app.
If app requires a sign in, always provide the user to make remember
option for next time he/she opens the application. A ‘change password’
option is recommended as well.
Assume that users do not care for waiting on your app in any way.
Benchmark your app in the testing life cycle for speed.
You should also listen to your customers complaints in the Android
Market as well. Some complaints may even lead you to great feature
enhancements that propel your app ahead of your competition.

10. 6. Seamless
With so many Internet-connected devices and screens nowadays, it’s
important to have a consistent experience. One recent example of this is
the online music app Rdio. You will be immediately impressed by the
consistent user interface between Rdio’s iPhone app and the desktop
app.
Rdio takes that seamlessness a step further though, in allowing you to
download whole albums onto your mobile device so that you can listen
to them offline. It’s easy to get that functionality wrong, for example by
enabling download on 3G and giving you a huge cellphone bill. But by
default, Rdio only downloads songs onto your mobile phone using WiFi
(you can turn on 3G download if you think you can afford it). It’s the little
details like that which make a great user experience.

12. 7. It Changes You
Arguably the most outstanding tech products are ones that revolutionize
the way we do things. The iPhone and iPad are two high profile
examples from recent years. Twitter is another. These are products that
create a brand new user experience, or change old habits in a good way.
Having an overall great user experience is difficult to pull off. Some of the
products mentioned above only get part of it right, for example Kindle
Fire and Rdio.
