“ UX ” stands for “ User Experience ”. A user experience of an app is determine by how the user interacts with it. Is the experience smooth or clunky? It is the process of research, develop and to improve all the interactions to satisfy the users. It includes visual design, interaction design, usability and more.

What’s the difference between UI and UX?

User Experience ( UX ) and User Interface ( UI ) are the most misused and confused terms in our field. A UI without UX is like creating an attractive screen and not knowing what to do with it; while UX without UI is generating incredible ideas with no paper match on it. A great app or product experience starts with both UX and UI. These both are essential for product’s success.
