A simple app with useful features – it is a secret to reach users’ smartphone quickly. Err.... was. Yes, it was. Today, if you will create simple app with useful features, you will barely reach to a few because there are lots of apps similar to yours covering the surface that is also with great features plus incredible animations.
Sticking with simple is no more an option for top app development companies. It’s time to pour some animations in your app, so that they can assure enjoyment even if they have the world’s simplest app in their hand.
And here is how you can do so....
1. Let them Know
Tell them all important insights of your app. For e.g. how much battery and space your app consume – make it as low as possible, how much they have progressed in your app, what they will get if they continue to keep your app for a long, etc. Let them know all such things through feedback at a sensible time.
2. Make App Assets Visible
With app assets, I mean to those buttons, scrolls, controls or anything through your app responds. If you have an app with hundreds of assets, then it is impossible to show them all. But make sure you reveal the important buttons that take users from one screen to another. Showing important assets will make it easier for users to explore more and take the advantage of invisible ones.
3. Explain Changes
Two situations: when users are new to your app or you are making changes to your current app – you have to explain to your users how your app works and how they can take maximum advantage of it. One more situation: if your tracking tells you that some functions are remaining unopened – that means users haven’t reach to that feature or they might be completely unaware of feature because they are hidden behind navigation bar. For this, you have to send them reminder explaining unopened feature of your app and how they can use it for their advantage.
4. Highlight Important Features
Highlight all your important features to your first time users. And don’t forget to highlight changes made to your app to explain users what’s new waiting for them.
5. Add Multiple Actions
A single button should perform a single action, but just to turn the app into a fun, must insert multiple functions to a single button. Let the users know how they can perform multiple tasks at a time with just a click on button. This will double down their excitement with the app. Also, remember not to add multiple features with main buttons like home page button should remain with single task.
Things You Should Take Care with Magical-Micro Movements
They seem nice, fun and exciting. But they are complicated at the same time. You can’t just think of them and put them in your app. You have to take care of something while planning your micro movements:
Final Thoughts
No matter if they are named micro, in actual, they are major because they hold the power to turn an app in to a total fun. This is what users want and this is what you have to give them if you want to stay ahead of your competitors.
