Top 6 tips for building better mobile apps

Tip no 1- Beauty is relative to the platform.

We see many apps that have a different design for an iOS platform and a different design for Android device. And both are beautiful and well designed but the concept of a Android app differs from a beautiful iOS app. This is because beauty is relative to platform.

Before you start designing your app, take a look at the trends in the market and what your target audience prefers.

Tip no 2- Code reuse is not necessarily for UI

Many misconceptions revolve around the reuse of the code. Expecting a 100% code reuse may not be reasonable as it may mean that you will have very little control over the apps UI/UX. This also means your app will look the same across all platfroms. Precisely why a mobile app development company does not reuse the codes.

Tip no 3- Always think about Web Service

Since we are building a cross platform app, it is advised that you build a code that is completely abstract as if it was a web service. Make all the programming logic different from the screens so that all your programs are platform agnostic and this would mean that they can be re used.

Tip no 4- The tabs can be deep and shallow

iOS allows multiple level of navigation in each tab as iOS tabs have a built in Navigation Controller. However, Android tabs are shallow and should have no in tab navigations. An Android app development company which specialises only in Android apps would make tabs which are shallow whereas iOS platform would require deep tabs

Tip no 5- Know your target platform

Whether to have a deep or shallow tab is one reason you should know your target platform. The best way of getting to know what is available for your app is by reading the user interface guideline thoroughly.

This is in that case if you don't know the operating system too well but if you are using it on a daily basis and thoroughly know the behaviour and visual similarities and differences. If not, then take out time to go through the guidelines.

Tip no 6- Work with the design team

A graphic artist should sit with the design team and understand each detail as the two are different.
