#Lackofexplicitpurposes

2.Youmustinvestinbreath-takingdesigns
Appdevelopersalsohavetocontendwithvariousproblemswhendesigningandduring
thesoftwaredevelopmentphase.Designanddevelopmentissuesandfailurescould
stymieyouandyourmobilestrategybeforethelaunch.Theseinclude,butarenotonly:
Theterm"mobileappdesign"referstotheideationprocessofthedesign,settingout,
andcreatingtheexperienceexperiencedbyamobileuserwhenusinganappon
mobile.Thedesignofmobileappscombinesbothvisual(colors,photographs,images,
animations)andgraphicelements(topographywriting,font,etc.)inasingleuser
experience.
Iftheappisdesignedright,theuserwon'teventhinkoftheuserinterface.Theywillonly
thinkaboutthesimplicityofperformingaspecifictaskusinganapplication.Great
design=happycustomers.
Ifyourappneedstobebetterdesigned,customerswillonlybeleftwithnegative
remarksregardingappswithpoorlayouts.Userswillabandonyourbadlycreatedappin

Althoughseveralelementscontributetoasatisfyinguserexperience,yourapplication

#Alousytechnologyorpoorlyappliedtechnologycanresultincatastrophicerrors.

#AlackofQAcanruinyourapp.

andeasy-to-useproduct.However,it'snoteasytodetermineatthebeginningthe
amountoftimeyou'llneedtospendtestingtheapp'squalityandwhattheQAtestis

3)Whatisthebestwaytogoaboutbuildingauniquemobileapplication?
You'vedevelopedabrilliantmobileappstrategyandaplan.Nowisthetimeto

possibleapp-killingissuesandfailurescouldlurkinthebackground.Thisincludes:
