Changing Mobile Navigation

Since the dawn of new devices, right from smartphone to a tablet, designers have always been reconsidering and redesigning how to make the interface better because every device has their screen ratios.

Animated Buttons and Visuals

Eyes are susceptive to movements. It reacts to moving visuals. Your app wins heart if there is an animated button or visual dancing right in front of the user. They are more likely to click or tap that button as they get visual value. Are you still wondering why it is trending?

Personalizing it

The day has come where a user should find an app welcoming. The only way to do this is by personalizing the app layout with colors and themes that suits the user. The user behavior is mapped by data developers who gather the information of how a user behaves inside an app which is then further used to give an option of personalization.

Wearable

It is time when smartphone apps are not just limited to smartphone devices but rather panned out to other devices like watches too. For example, give the new Apple Watch Series 4 a look; it has a fantastic array of apps designed to suit the dimensions of the device. Right from Watches to Phablets, this trend of creating flexible app designs is storming over.

Introducing AR and VR

Crazy Apps and Games have stormed into AR and VR markets trying to gain momentum out of it. For example, take Orbulus (A VR Photo Viewing – supported by Google Cardboard) and Incell (Game) which takes visual realities to the next level. Apps like these are on the trend as new demands for AR/VR UX rise.

If it greets, it’s neat

Today, with the ongoing dialogue of AI and Virtual Limbic systems, we see a new wave of UX satisfaction if your app connects. A ‘Goodbye’ or ‘Thank You’ or even ‘Welcome Dear XYZ’ works magically if you integrate it into the app design. You can see this app UI design trending today.

Voice Integration

‘Hey, Google’ has received so much love. It’s only time before every app developer considers voice activation in the main face of a user interface. It has evolved into a trend with most people finding comfort and connect if the app has a voice.

Custom Art

Giving mobile apps a personalized look and feel is the motto of customizing art into the UI design. It makes it more natural and gives a personality to it. Art like digital illustration, paper-cut style, simple drawing, everything has been given heed to by both designers and developers.

Play with Color and Font

The formula is simple. Colors and font catch the eye. App designers have started considering the importance of color schemes and font styles which play the most significant role in trading attention between the interface and user.

Play with Geometry

In an app layout, unique geometrical buttons or clickable links play a more significant role in making UX satisfying and unforgettable. Giving it a realistic, minimalistic, and simplistic touch to your app layout leave a subconscious imprint in the user that the app is intelligent. Even a simple clickable image will work if it’s thoughtful and structured according to the trend.

Layout transparency or Opacity

As mentioned above, it is impressive when you integrate custom art and design the font/colors to provide an immersive UX. It is equally crucial to creating the layout keeping transparency and opacity in mind. Designers treasure this idea to up the game of their app. Newly developed apps have started teaching it for better results.

Including a scheme of color gradients

If your app has a definite color scheme, which is binary, it is time to rethink. You can upgrade the color scheme to give a luxurious and premium look by blending and mixing different colors which is the best highway you can pave for users to remember the app experience. It has been perceived as one of the best mobile app design of 2018.

Developing teams have a separate creative designing team that can provide a sense of what’s better than regular. Even popular apps that are perceived as better designed have started putting a creative pinch.
