Ways to Improve Apps User Experience

Apps descended on us like some sort of blessing from heaven of Technology. Easily
downloadable & exclusive platform for specific needs (No more surfing on the vast sea of
the internet websites). But advantages end there. Lately Apps have been increasing without
particular improvement in quality. Nowadays apps feel like useless burden.

So what does it take to make an app a massive hit among users?

The answer lies in the seamless user experience. In the coming year its normal for
customers to demand better user experience. Faster loading time, less actions to reach
specific page are simple things that can have significant impact on the user encountering
your application.

So let’s find out ways to improve App user experience

Need for Speed

We have no patience at all. 4G internet connection has spoilt us & a slow loading App is a
big turnoff.

So Keep the App design simple & action speed faster. From Loading to navigating in the App
the speed almost decides the conversion rate & whether the user would return to your App
or not

Keep It Simple

Users have a goal in mind & the Application should fulfil it in minimum number of steps.
They don’t expect your App to complicated or flashy. Unwanted features & functionalities
will only lead to frustration or irritation

App Navigation Faster

It’s a lost cause if your application has poor in-app navigation. Reduce user action as much
as possible.

Provide useful links to pages (No damaged links!)

Having search engine in your App is one way to make experience quick & easy. An advanced
& responsive app infrastructure will forever be loved by consumers

Limit User Input

Only ask necessary information. Do not make the user fill boxes & boxes of information
during the registration process and billing section. User input should be minimal for any
mobile app. Try to streamline the process with auto correction, spell check & text assistance
Short & Reliable Content everywhere

It’s a mobile application, the users should not be needing long paragraphs of text anywhere
in the App. Also no one is going to read it even if it is important. Listed below are techniques
for improving the readability of the content

The content should have

• Attractive Headlines
• Pointers/ list format
• Highlighted Important points
• Paragraphs needs to be smaller with medium spacing b/w the lines .

Personalisation

There are loads of Apps in the market. How is your App any different? The answer lies in the
personalising UX (User Experience). Leverage user data to provide user specific content.

• Display specific retailers/services according to the location

• Users name on the screen
• Notification with user name (Don’t overdo with notification every minute)

Make the user experience more aligned with their needs & preferences

Don’t forget User Testing

Don’t be in a hurry to launch your application. Test your application from users as faraway
as possible. Work with app development team after user testing & get rid of any bugs or
other problem faced during the testing. It’s always good to have first-hand experience of
how your app will be viewed by users.
