Understanding the UX in Mobile App Development

Written by OpenArc on . Posted in , , .

You’ve seen the stats, mobile app development is expected to rise in triple digits this year.

Across all verticals and business domains, SME’s to large enterprises understand the importance of a mobile-first experience but are struggling to develop custom mobile applications for smartphones, tablets and wearables.

For some companies, it can be User Experience (UX) where the struggle presents itself. UX is extremely important in a mobile app development project given today’s smaller screen sizes, expected behavior and lengthy feature lists

A well-designed app needs to deliver content and data in a comprehensive, meaningful way to users. In addition, the mobile app must acknowledge user actions with some sort of feedback, and actively encourage sustained use. When it comes to mobile app development and the design of the app, you must always be looking for opportunities to incorporate these types of user-centric interactions.

Same applies when you are writing code, are you thinking of the end-user experience and expectation just as much as the architecture? Think to yourself how the user will interact with the application on a personal level.

In the mobile app development process, software development companies like OpenArc, will take the same approach on every project in terms of focus on the user experience, simplicity, and intuitive design.

Whether you are an executive, developer, or marketer working for company that is struggling to get a mobile app out the door, it is important that you take a hard stance in determining what improvements can be made. If you come to the realization that your company can’t do it alone, we can work with you and your team to get your application to the market.
