Day 24 - Mobile UX Tips to Improve Usability

Follow these mobile design tips to improve usability for your mobile customers.
  1. Innovate but don't reinvent the wheel.  Use mobile design patterns and models.
  2. Keep context in mind. Mobile users are on the go.
  3. Design for the immediacy of now.
  4. Don't let interruptions get in the way of user experience. Make the app easy to disengage and easy for people to pick up where they left off.
  5. Align with device conventions so as to not create confusion, e.g. don't user iPhone controls if the app is running on an Android device and vice-versa.
  6. Ensure that your designs are tap and finger friendly.
  7. Break larger tasks into smaller ones so that you don't overload the user.
  8. Use in app analytics such as Google Analytics or Flurry to measure and improve the experience.
