The most important thing to keep in mind when designing a mobile app is to make sure it is both\u00a0useful\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0intuitive<\/em>. If the app is not useful, it has no real value for user and no one has any reason to use it. If app is useful but requires a lot of time and effort, people won\u2019t bother learning how to use it.<\/p>\n

Good UI design is\u00a0user-centric<\/strong>. Users install your app because they need to solve a problem. Designers should think about the problem their users will try to accomplish using the app,\u00a0focus on their key goals and remove all obstacles from their way<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here are 10 UX design principles that I think are key for creating really great mobile user experiences.<\/p>\n

1. Cut Out The Clutter<\/h1>\n

User attention is a precious resource, and should be allocated accordingly. Cluttering your interface overloads your user with too much information: every added button, image, and line of text make the screen more complicated.<\/p>\n

Clutter is bad on a desktop app or website, but on a mobile one it\u2019s a hundred times worse. Image credit:\u00a0ftrain<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There\u2019s a famous quote by Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry that says<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cPerfection is achieved when there is nothing left to take away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s important to\u00a0get rid of anything on a mobile design that isn\u2019t absolutely necessary,\u00a0<\/em>because reducing the clutter will improve comprehension.<\/p>\n

A simple rule of thumb:\u00a0one primary action per screen<\/strong>. Every screen you design for the app should support a\u00a0single action of real value<\/em>\u00a0to the person using it.<\/p>\n

Take Uber, for instance. Uber knows that the goal of the user who uses the app is to take a cab. The app does not overwhelm the user with other information: it automatically detects users location based on GEO data and the only thing users have to do is to select a pickup location.<\/p>\n

One of the basic rules of good UX is to reduce the effort users have to put in to get what the want.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2. Make Navigation Self-Evident<\/h1>\n

Helping users navigate should be a high priority for every app. Good navigation should feel like an invisible hand that guides the user along their journey. The principles of good mobile navigation are:<\/p>\n
