Aim to make apps that are both easy to use and work really well. If a client wants flashy but tricky features, I talk it through with them, suggest smarter options, and make sure the app still meets their goals and keeps users happy.

When a client dreams of flashy features that scream "extra," keep calm and code on. 💻✨ Gently explain how users prefer apps that work, not just sparkle. Share stories of apps that balanced style and substance—and crushed it. Finally, sprinkle in a bit of flash (just enough to impress) while keeping the app functional. Everyone wins! 🎉

When clients request flashy but impractical features for a mobile app, it’s important to steer the conversation toward user experience and functionality. Educate them on how practical design elements—such as intuitive navigation and fast load times—directly contribute to user satisfaction and long-term retention. Use case studies to demonstrate how focusing on usability has led to successful outcomes for other businesses. While meeting the client's desire for visual appeal, offer solutions that integrate attention-grabbing elements without compromising core functionality. By guiding your client to understand the importance of balancing aesthetics with usability, you can ensure the final design is both engaging and effective.

In such situations, it is of utmost importance to know the reason and understand the thought behind such requirements. Then, logically navigate them to adapt to a more practical and user friendly solution. Some of the steps can be 1. Have a discussion . Listen to their thoughts and then share your ideas on how the app can be more user friendly. A group discussion always helps. 2. Design a POC with a practical, user friendly approach and add some flashy elements as per mentioned requirements then do a customer study to receive proper feedback. Based on the feedback update the PoC that can be acceptable clients and will be more user friendly.

Explain the trade-offs between practicality and flashiness, emphasizing user needs and app goals. Propose balanced solutions that combine visual appeal with functionality to achieve the best results.
