The 2 Things That Make An iPhone App Design Ugly
The key thing that separates most successful apps
from their competiton is the iphone app designs
that they have. Of course functionality,
marketing and usefulness are close runners but
with Apples all encompassing design
philoshophy, most iOS users are very sensitive to
the quality of designs in iphone apps. And in
most cases, it can make or break the success of
them. In short, no app makes it very far in the
app store without a very good iphone app design
barring a few surprising exceptions.
For most people, a great iphone app design is out
of reach. Mainly due to the fact that getting
one is quite expensive. Our custom iphone app
templates attempt to solve that problem for
people in that position. But if youre inclined
to make you own design from scratch then here are
some of the key iphone app design pitfalls you
should try to avoid.
Note We did not include pictures of actual apps
in this post as we did not want to
offend independent developers.
Web 2.0 Design Elements
Example
Web 2.0 elements for the most part, make iphone
app designs look incredibly tacky. The style
of design, though once fashionable, just doesnt
fit with apples high end app design philosophy.
You should avoid using design elements like
these as much as possible and instead of them,
opt for designs more like this

Bad Color Combinations
Example
Color combinations are extremely important. So
much infact, that this simple error is what makes
most designs out there look ugly. For a quick and
easy way to make powerful color choices. Check
out resources like the Dribbble color search
tool. Where you can type in a color
2
then search for the ones that match it, by
viewing the results and how they use it. You can
also use Colourlovers, they allow you to search
through endless color wheels and select the best
colors for your iphone app designs needs.
