Design should prioritize smooth performance and quick load times, reducing the resource consumption on mobile devices.

StarStarStarStar

User Testing

StarStarStarStar

Regular testing with actual users to refine interface design based on real feedback and usability studies.

Help and Documentation

StarStarStarStar

Even though it is better if the system can be used without documentation, it may be necessary to provide help and documentation to assist users in understanding how to use the app.

StarStarStarStar

Accessibility

StarStarStarStar

The app should be usable by people of diverse abilities, incorporating features like screen reader support, sufficient contrast, and alternative input methods.

StarStarStarStar

Iterative Design

StarStarStarStar

The design process should be cyclical, involving multiple stages of prototyping, testing, and refining to create a more user-friendly app.

StarStarStarStar

Responsive Design

StarStarStarStar

The design should ensure that the app’s interface adjusts smoothly across different devices and screen sizes.
