The users can make out whether your app is fun, friendly or elegant merely through the colors. In short, the colors used in the app determine its personality.
Deploying simple color schemes in the app make the mobile app more interactive. Such color combinations can help to optimize the “Flat design” and the users can access the app easily.
2. Simplicity and clarity:

Simple and clean interface is the need of the hour.
While developing an app, make sure that you do not waste application users’ time. The application design should be powerful enough to impress the audience at the first sight. The audience should know what your mobile app does and how to use it effectively.
3. Different design style:
Elegant yet sophisticated designs for the mobile apps will hit 2015. Depending on the type of business, a simple mobile app with unique features should be created. For example: If you are developing a tattoo art mobile app, you should look at hundreds of similar apps available in the market and think of some additional features you can add to make your app unique. If you are not sure about the design, you can speak to the industry experts and get suggestions.
Besides developing a clean design, you can think of deploying the layered interface. This would offer 3D like experience to the smartphone users and offer a great user experience.
4. Innovative ideas – Think out of the box:

In order to make your app stand out from the crowd, you should come up with some unique idea.

The users get an option to share your mobile app with their friends or other people who are there in their network. It is an easy way of marketing as the users can directly “Like,” “Share” and give “+1” to your app.
7. In app events / Seasonal features:
It can be a good idea to integrate push notification features so that the users can update the apps without having the hassle of downloading and installing. This would also help to promote offers during the festive season.
