Introduction

This webinar provides pointers you can use to perform a basic user experience (UX) check of your Series 40 full-touch app, even if you have no formal experience in UX design. In it we review a list of some of the worst UX mistakes that we found in real-world app testing, and provide some specific solutions to these problems.

This checklist covers some basic UX mistakes, and is a great starting point if you’re not a UI design expert. Check out Series 40 UI design library for more advanced information and resources.
