App Content
In Mobile App Development, you need text to label your buttons, provide guidelines and explain specific terminologies. The content in your app should be explicit and precise. Stuffing keywords for SEO optimization may distort the message you are trying to communicate. Apps with updated content and information look new to all users, potential and repeat customers. Most experts talk about delivering accurate and specific content.
Graphic Design
Apps with quality graphic art or design are captivating to the eyes of the users. When you do not wish to use text, it is essential to know that a picture is worth a thousand words. Therefore, you need to use high quality and intuitive images, animations, visuals and designs to keep your users engaged.
User Experience Design (UX)
The interaction between your app and the users should create positive emotions and attitudes. It is more about how users feel when they are using your app. You need to design your app with the users in mind. You need to come up with intuitive and interactive designs, making east easy for the user to know the right thing to do.

User Interface Design (Ui)
Work on your User Interface Design (UI) and app usability, which are the subsets of user experience design. You will have to come up with decent and useful features.
Screen Resolution
When building your mobile application, you should also consider the screen size and resolution of various mobile devices that operate on the platforms you wish to launch your app. In terms of resolution, you have to achieve the right pixels per inch or standard screen resolution for your app. More about this information is available on the app store technical guidelines.
Mobile device performance
- Mobile Application Size
Size matters especially when the user has limited storage capacity and slow internet. A well-designed and straightforward app tends to consume less space. Size matters because it keeps the mobile device’s CPU and RAM free, making your app easy and fast to load.
- Battery and Processor Usage
Some apps will overwork the processor leading to high battery usage. Gaming apps are known to consume more juice from a mobile device. The development of your mobile app should be in such a way that it does not consume too much energy.
Social Sharing Option
When listening to music, reading an article or playing a game, some users may want to share the experience with others on social media. For this reason, an app should be able to integrate with popular social networking sites for easy and fast sharing. With a built-in viral mechanism that promotes social sharing, you let your customer market the app for you.
Security
The security of your app is the most crucial factor to consider above all other considerations. You need to think about all the possible ways you can make your users safe. This factor takes into account the type of technology you use to encrypt user information and data.
Compatibility
If your mobile app is to be available for all users, then you’ll have to consider the iOS or Android versions available. As one upgrades from one version to the other, app updates should also be available. Creating unique features for various platform versions makes it easy for the user to see the change and keep them engaged.
Overall, your app has to be simple and loads quickly. App users are always looking for something new and attractive to try. The success of your project relies on the ten most important elements of mobile app development.
