Mobile App Design
The mobile application allows you to enhance your online presence, as it allows you to be listed on application portals such as Play store or App store.
Mobile app vs. website
Mobile app design is a little different than mobile web design, and we need to bear this in mind when designing to ensure we approach it in the right way.

Apple iOS
Apple is the pioneer of mobile applications that appeared on their iPhone with the creation of the App Store in July 2008.
Oyiana offers an iOS mobile application development service to help you stand out from your competitors and build customer loyalty by offering them a service at their fingertips on their iPhone.
- Nearly 2.2M apps are available on the App Store
- 130bn apps downloaded in 2020
- An estimated 1 billion people use iPhones worldwide
Google Android
Although Android did not come up with the idea of an online application store first, it quickly responded to Apple by creating the Play Store in October 2008.
Android has taken longer than Apple to be loved by its users. Less easy-to-use, slower and less ergonomic, Android has had to reinvent itself over the years.
Today, 84% of the world's smartphones run on Android, which is why Oyiana has a dedicated Android application development service.
- Nearly 3.5M apps are available on the Play Store
- 108.5bn apps downloaded in 2021
- An estimated 2.5 billion people use Android worldwide
Mobile app design best practices
Leveraging device software and hardware
As mentioned earlier, mobile apps can leverage almost any aspect of their operating system, from cameras, device storage, and app stores to fingerprint...
sensors, credit card scanners, and more. It’s unnecessary to reinvent the wheel when iOS and Android offer native UI elements and functions that users already enjoy and know how to use.
Create meaningful screen transitions
Create beautiful app icons
Design anticipatory loading screens
Loading screens are essential. By having everything already loaded—minus database calls—the rest of the app experience is more efficient. That being said, long load times can be a major turn-off, so we build anticipation with exciting imagery.
Don’t overuse notifications
As discussed earlier, 71% of users uninstall apps because of notifications. This is extremely common with the 55+ demographic, although millennial users often complain of excessive notifications (despite claiming to want them originally).
Mobile users are very fickle. We do regular tests based on recent research to achieve the best notification system.
Create a better overall user experience
Mobile apps are a rapidly-expanding industry, and while there are a number of non-design-related concerns that cause users to uninstall apps, a substandard overall user experience contributes heavily to app retention rates. Oyiana helps to alleviate...
concerns with features like responsive resizing (for responsive design), exporting (for catering assets to all device resolutions), and screen transitions.
