Participation: The act of taking part in an activity through interaction.The Cause and effect of users input commands (via; mouse, keyboard, joystick, touch screen, etc.) to affect the outcome of the experience.

Perspective: Influencing the opinions of the user towards the brand and/or product and/or experience. Simply put “how do you make someone smile or have the light bulb turn on over someone’s head”?

Pleasure&Reward: What does the user get out of it? There are two aspects to pleasure and reward the first being tangible (i.e. I scan a QR code and get a coupon). The second and more powerful is the intangible (ie: user feeling a sense of accomplishment, status, fulfillment, etc.).

Mobile Manifesto{ long live small screens }

Page 22: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

01.Be yourself.{ What makes sense to your brand, product, idea }

Page 23: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

02.Focus on the core.{ Know your business outcome and your user needs. Focus your

efforts on that and not on functionality and features alone. }

Page 24: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

03. Unique is chic.{ Does the world really need another fart app? }

Page 25: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

04.Keep it simple.{ Simplify your interface. Sometime it’s as much and exercise of

what you leave out as to what you put in }

Page 26: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

05.Tacky vs. Tactile.{ Engagement – but not at the cost of solid user experience. }

Page 27: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

06. Touch me.{ User will be using their fingers to press, pinch & swipe. This translates quick differently to how you design the experience and interface compared to web where users may use a mouse to click

and drag }

Page 28: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

07. Think small.{ Your app is not your website shrunk down }

Page 29: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

08. You have my attention... now what?{ Captivate your user or face being deleted. }

Page 30: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

09. You have 1 chance.{ Once you have lost your user, chances of getting them back is

extremely low. }

Page 31: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

10. Build once. Update frequently.{ Make sure you launch with everything. Build evangelists by listening to your users feedback and incorporate improvements

on your great app }

Page 32: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

11. All devices are not created equally.{ Know the native platform advantages, limitations, specs, etc. }

Page 33: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience

12. Meet me at the corner.{ People are typically using mobile apps out of home and on the go }

Page 34: Bad App - Killer App: How to Create a Compelling Mobile Experience
