03/ Mobile Trends

Do Less, Not More

2 TAP RULE

5 POINT RULE

98% RULE

App Advice from Marrisa Mayer, Yahoo CEO

Experience Design Simplicity: with Apps, less is more.

Don’t recreate your website in an App

“It should only take two taps to do anything”

“Count a point for every different font, font size, & colour. Redesign if it’s more than 5 per screen”

“Design for the way it will be used 98% of the time”

Be Delighted

I think every App should do at least one thing brilliantly.

Once that’s sorted you should move onto delivering something delightful.

Research, and empathy are the best ways to get there.

For example our OVO Energy App has a torch function to

help light the way whilst their customers submit meter

readings. And because more and more people use an app

to manage their energy it saves OVO time and money.

Beautiful Seams

The seams between digital and physical experience are unavoidable.

Instead aim for beautiful seams; it’s okay to be useful, just don’t be creepy.

Realtime data, hyper accurate proximity via sensors & beacons can help us solve in-store pain points.

For example ASDA’s innovation mobile App has

an in-store mode. There is no point selling to someone like they are on a sofa when they are in a store. Instead thanks

to geo detection and WiFi - busy mums see wish lists and contextually relevant

information when they are in a store

Messaging apps will overtake social networks in global popularity by end Q1 2015

Better insights through technology

RTP = Realtime Personalisation

Dynamic PricingAlgorithms, mobile, geo-location and real time data will power more start-up services along with traditional players into the Uber and Amazon world of dynamic pricing. This means when demand is high, pricing increases, and when demand is lower, pricing decreases - all in real time and in Uber’s case depending on where you are.

The price isn’t going to be the price for long.
