An app's design is based on the significant features of the user interface (UI) and the user experience (UX), but the functions differ slightly. The UI refers to the app's appearance, while the UX refers to the app's navigation and other features. Effective UI/UX design in the development of a mobile app can drastically alter the app's appearance, resulting in increased user engagement.
