  smartphones and mobile apps for making their
  lives easier, it is important that out of the
  6,140 that are released every day, your app
  stands out. How? Well, the first impression is
  the last impression. And what could be the first
  thing that a person would see in your app? Thats

  a pleasing mobile user interface (UI) to ensure
  that your user sticks by and enjoys browsing the

• Splash Screen
• Best Menu Templates
• When a user open an app, splash screen is the
  first thing that appears. The goal behind this
  screen is to maximize the impact with minimum
  elements. A simple screen might consist of a
  logo, slogan of the product, and a CTA. To keep
  things simple a designer should keep the
  animation duration between 48 seconds. Anything
  more than that will annoy the user and they will
  stop using your app. A word of advice is to use
  display loading progress so that it develops some
  excitement among the users.

  application. In the context of mobile apps, its
  the main screen from which users interact with
  most options of the application. Home screens are
  designed depending on the type of product and its
  purpose still there are some key elements common
  for different kinds. First of all, the main
  screen usually includes the search field or
  button so that users could easily search for the
  content they need. Also, since the home screen is
  a start point for the user journey, it often
  contains navigation elements providing access to
  the various content sections.

  particularly if the interface is unfamiliar to
  them.
