How to make mobile app more engaging for users?

In the modern digital world of rapid changes, users are all that matters. You can not just throw out an application and expect them to be hooked, delighted and come back. This is where custom features come in. Whether it is an interactive Custom Media Player or a captivating Onboarding Screen, all the elements are important in ensuring that your app is unique and special. Smart functions such as custom notifications, floating buttons, smooth navigation tabs, etc., add up to one, not only creating an app but also creating an experience of ease, engagement, and recall.

With WebToNative, you have the tools to make this possible. Let’s explore how.

Floating Button

1. Quick and Convenient Access

Floating buttons are shortcuts to essential features, and it is usable dramatically. An example of this is a floating button in a messaging application that will automatically open a new chat window. Users can also make their experience faster and more enjoyable with only a single finger press, and this allows them to carry out common tasks without having to browse their menu.

2. Dynamic Functions

Add value to your floating button. Through changing its role depending on the situation. As an example, the button would activate a new chat on the home screen, but change to a send or share button when in a conversation. This dynamic adaptability will make sure that the button will always provide the most relevant action, which increases efficiency and satisfaction.

Best Practices

• Locate the button in a place that is both reachable and will not block other objects.

• Be clear, have intuitive icons and subtle animations to show purpose.

• Placement of tests and testability with real users to maximise convenience.

• Floating buttons are not only easy to use, but are also an interactive touch to your application when created intelligently.

Onboarding Screen

It is during onboarding that you have a chance to impress. Getting people to understand the features and benefits of your app and introducing them to it preconditions a long-term relationship. Gorgeously crafted onboarding screens. See to it that users are immediately convinced of the value of your app and are encouraged to immerse themselves in it.

2. Interactive Design

Detailed set-up instructions assist users in customising options immediately upon installing an app--be it connecting the bank account to a finance app or setting fitness objectives to a health tracker. Directed onboarding turns configuration into a simple, intuitive, and painless task.

Best Practices

• Be brief in instructions, and deal with the most effective features.

• Engaging visuals and animations should be used to keep the attention.

• Secure onboarding can make the retention rates grow significantly, as the users will feel safe and enthusiastic about their initial experience.
