Mobile UX– 3 Tips for App Navigation

Great user experience is what helps you differentiate in a sea of apps. The goal of user experience is to make an app in such a way that it is intuitive to the user and seamless. Navigation is at the top of mobile UX navigation priorities. We will present 3 tips in this article for app navigation. These tips can help you create a great navigational experience for your apps.

Tip # 1 : Prefer Tab Menu over Sliding Menu

The main reason for using tab menus vs sliding menus are

• Tab Menu shows the most important navigation items at all times making it easier for a user to move through them. Also making them just one click away.
• Sliding menus give equal priority to all items. Although there is a priority in terms of order in a/b testing, it is mostly found that users don’t use most of the navigation items.
• Tab Menu allows the user to return to the same place they were before in terms of screen scroll. e.g. news feeds on Facebook. 

Tip #2 :  Use Accordion Controls instead of Navigating to New Screen

Tip #3 : Show Visual Cue to User in Card Navigation
