Designing an app is not based on a single decision — it’s the result of a series of small decisions that when being correctly combined results in a great user experience. If done properly the user may not even consciously notice it, but on the other hand, when something wrong they definitely will notice. In this article we are going to take a closer look at some of the best designed apps we have found during 2016.

Tribe is a video messaging app that attempts to re-invent how groups of people are able to experience each other through conversation. It uses natural language processing to recognize spoken words and then related useful information directly on the screen. Tribe has appeared as “Best New App” in the App Store, has been featured with 5 stars in the App Store in 120 different countries, and has been covered by international publications such as TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and Forbes. Buzzfeed called Tribe “The Future of Messaging”. The design is unique and we actually really liked it. They recently received $3M from the investment firm Sequoia that has a great track record from investing in startups. We can surely expect more from them in the coming future.
