Less Loading Time

Time is money. In the digital world, high-speed loading time is a basic requirement for an app because users don't want to wait. If an app is loading more than 2 seconds, users are more likely to drop the app. 

Many apps show a "short" ad in the loading period. Users can either wait 3 seconds to skip the ad or pay a fee to remove all the ads. Again, users really hate this because they don't like to watch anything that unrelated to their needs, and they don't want to pay extra fee to remove ads.

Therefore, less loading time, zero ad, and zero fee will make users happy to use the app in long time.

Mobile screen is much smaller than desktop screen. Therefore, the design of the menu is very important element for an app. A clear drop-down menu allows users to view and select the product category easily. With large text font and organized selections, users can read content well, so they can continue to interact with the app.

Search bar saves a lot time on finding the product from all the shopping categories. If the app can pop up some relevant product keywords, it will help users to get more specific search ideas.

The last step, make transaction is very important for users. Many users drop the transaction because they have a bad experience on transaction step.

Therefore, app can build four simple steps to direct users finish the transaction, such as user basic information (name, address, email), credit card information, review the order, and place the order. The simple, the better.
