The Hottest Design Trends in Mobile Apps For 2019
“Good Design is Good Business.” - Thomas Watson Jr.
Designing is so simple and yet so complicated. Many mobiles
apps had amazing concepts and features but failed just because of their poor app
designs. It is one of the most underrated aspects of mobile app development that people ignore.
Without wasting any
time let’s dive in straight to the top mobile app design trends you should
follow.
Gestures are a game
changer
Gestures are the small animations that occur when you do a
particular action on the app like tap, swipe or pinch the screen. A good
example is when you long-press to select an item in the app. But all these
gestures are common and quite old school. You need to innovate your app with
new ways of gestures. For instance, you can add face and hand gestures feature
by accessing the mobile’s front camera. Such gestures also speed up the overall
app process and keep the users interested in the app.
Wearable Technology is
the future
Mobiles are not just smartphones anymore. They have
expanded to various devices, one of the categories being the wearable devices.
In the next year, over 170 million units of just wrist wears are predicted to
be sold. For simplicity sake, we will only discuss smartwatches (the highest
sold wearable device). Similar to the smartphones, the smartwatch also needs an
app that the user will access. Its design is very different and minimalist
compared to mobile app design. Your goal as the provider would be to give the
most number of features in a small setup.
Bring new Material
Design
Whatever you see on the app, the color pallet, the text font,
the placing of each and every element of the app, in totality is Material
Design. The entire look and feel of the app are based on what type of theme and
material design you are going for. Many designs are exhausted by designers all
over the world and people are bored with the old designs. If you can bring
something new and interesting to the table then you will be adored by the
users. Try to think out of the box and make a personalized design for the app
instead of mixing two or three presets.
Typography will rule
2019
Typography is probably the most ignored section of app
designing but it will be one of the hottest mobile design trends of 2019. Imagine
if you used Comic Sans MS for a hunting equipment rental app or use the Old
English Font for a kindergarten school app for kids. It would certainly be a
disaster, right? That is why typography is very important as it gives the feel
of the app and the services it offers to the users.
