Do you remember the last time you used an app and thought: “Who designed this? It’s a nightmare!” 😅
Whether it’s a parking payment app or a restaurant booking app, poor design makes you give up quickly.
In today’s digital world, a weak UI/UX can be costly: frustrated users, wasted time, and money thrown away.
We know how to turn apps into experiences you’ll love from the very first click. Let’s explore the Top 3 UI/UX mistakes and how to avoid them, so you never drive your users away!
Mistake 1: Navigation That Feels Like a Maze
Imagine trying to use an app to pay for parking but getting lost in 10 different menus just to find the payment button.
Or a public transport app where you’re not even sure if the route is correct. Overloaded menus and lack of a logical flow feel just like rush-hour traffic: frustrating and confusing.
How to avoid it: Keep it simple! Create a clear structure with logical hierarchies and visible buttons. For example, a main menu with 3–4 big, clear options is far easier to use than one with 20 submenus.
Unicore Tip: Test every possible user journey to ensure it’s quick and intuitive—like taking a calm walk through the city, not fighting through traffic.
Mistake 2: Apps That Exclude Users
Ever tried to read tiny text on an app, maybe white letters on a gray background? 😣 Small fonts, poor color contrast, or lack of support for people with disabilities (e.g., screen readers) can make apps unusable for many.
How to avoid it: Follow WCAG accessibility standards—strong contrast (e.g., black text on white background), fonts of at least 16px, and features like text enlargement. It’s easier than you think and ensures your app is usable by everyone.
Unicore Tip: Build accessibility into every project, so no user is left behind.
Mistake 3: No Feedback – Leaving Users in the Dark
Imagine pressing “Submit” on a form and… nothing happens. Did it work? Did it fail? Users need clear confirmations, like a success message or a progress bar.
How to avoid it: Add visual messages (e.g., “Your order has been placed!”) and automated notifications. It’s like telling someone, “Got it, we’ve received your request!”—simple and reassuring.
Unicore Tip: Every user action should receive a clear response so there’s no room for doubt.
Simplifying a Public App
A local government office had a tax payment app that frustrated users: confusing menus, tiny fonts, and no confirmation messages. We redesigned it from scratch: simplified navigation to just 3 clicks, used contrasting colors, and added confirmation prompts.
The result? The average payment time dropped from 5 minutes to just 1 minute.
