“…The best interface is the one which is very close in terms of the relationship to its context. User interface design becomes an effective one only when the communication of the user with the system is effortless; that is, the system improves rather than obstructs the workflow and encourages the active involvement of its users [22]. The user interface also refers to the subjective psychological sensations that users generate while using products or services, such as their beliefs, feelings, desires, attitudes, physiology and psychology, behaviour, and so on, and it spans the front, middle, and late stages of service or product usage [23].…”

“…The mobile application logo is a subtle indication of what it does. Creating icons that represent genuine perceptions of events or activities makes the system more interesting, engaging and involving local users [22]. Therefore, it is important to transform information into relevant keywords and design icons in a way that is easily understandable by the mobile users [22].…”

Design and Experience of Mobile Applications: A Pilot Survey

With the tremendous growth in mobile phones, mobile application development is an important emerging arena. Moreover, various applications fail to serve the purpose of getting the attention of the intended users, which is determined by their User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX). As a result, developers often find it challenging to meet the users’ expectations. To date, several reviews have been carried out which explored various aspects of design and the experience of mobile applications using UX/UI. However, many of these existing surveys primarily focused on only some of the issues in isolation but did not consider all the major parameters such as visualisation/graphics, context, user behaviour/emotions/control, usability, adaptability/flexibility, language, and feedback. In our pilot survey, we gathered the preferences and perceptions of a heterogeneous group of concerned people and considered all the aforementioned parameters. These preferences would serve as a reference to mobile application developers, giving them useful insights. Our proposed approach would help mobile application developers and designers focus on the particular UI/UX problems of mobile applications as per their relevant context. A comparative analysis of the various UI and UX factors that determine a mobile application interface is presented in this paper.

Web-based portals enable a new communication paradigm that could provide variety of benefits and support to both the customers and companies. Customers can have continuous access to the services, information, support, and payments on the portal with the possibility of personalisation. This paper presents a survey on the usability and user experience studies relevant to open community web portals and information sharing platforms. The objective of the work presented in this paper was to produce an overview of how literature reported on usability in relation to information sharing web portals. A systematic mapping method has been applied to identify and quantify primary studies focusing on the usability and user experience of the open community web portals.

The public has access to a range of mobile applications (apps) for disasters. However, there has been limited academic research conducted on disaster apps and how the public perceives their usability. This study explores end-users’ perceptions of the usability of disaster apps. It proposes a conceptual framework based on insights gathered from thematically analyzing online reviews. The study identifies new usability concerns particular to disaster apps’ use: (1) content relevance depends on the app’s purpose and the proximate significance of the information to the hazard event’s time and location; (2) app dependability affects users’ perceptions of usability due to the life-safety association of disaster apps; (3) users perceive advertisements to contribute to their cognitive load; (4) users expect apps to work efficiently without unnecessary consumption of critical phone resources; (5) appropriate audio interface can improve usability, as sounds can boost an app’s alerting aspect; and, finally (6) in-app browsing may potentially enhance users’ impression of the structure of a disaster app. As a result, this study argues for focussed research and development on public-facing disaster apps. Future research should consider the conceptual framework and concerns presented in this study when building design guidelines and theories for disaster apps.
