Key Points For Designing An Interactive Mobile App:
Minimizing the cognitive load on the user:
The cognitive load is the quantity of brain power needed to use an app. A human brain has the deficient amount of processing power, and when an app gives lots of information, it will become difficult for a user to handle. Due to which the user discards that task.
Removing unnecessary information:
Removing the unnecessary information from the application is one of the must-do recommendations from experts. Because irrelevant stuff is considered rival of a good design. With the removal of irrelevant stuff from your application, a designer can overload its user with lots of relevant information.

By any possible means, simplifying the user’s efforts also becomes helpful in enhancing the application.

Also, if an interface allows users to set the available information as the default, it will also be a useful step in improving the UX of an app.
In Summary:
The Use of mobile applications is increasing due to the rise in smartphone users. If a mobile application is interactive, it will become helpful for a user but if the application is non-interactive, then a user won’t take more time in uninstalling it. Lowering the cognitive load of a user, disposing of tasks, and also removing the irrelevant stuff from the application are some quick guides which can help a designer in improving an application.
