The apps people keep on their phone long-term almost always share a handful of design fundamentals, regardless of category or industry.
Clear, immediate value on first use, without a long onboarding process before the app actually does anything useful.
Consistent, predictable navigation that doesn't require relearning where things are after an update.
Excessive permissions requested before the user understands why they're needed.
Notifications that feel intrusive or irrelevant rather than genuinely useful.
Touch targets sized appropriately for real thumbs, not just visually balanced on a design mockup.
Performance and responsiveness, since a laggy interface undermines trust even if the design looks polished.
