New Report: Millennials Hate Apps With Uncool Design

New Report: Millennials Hate Apps With Uncool Design | Psychology of Media & Technology | Scoop.it
According to Comscore's annual mobile app report, logos matter and apps will be deleted if millennials don't like how it looks on their screen.
Dr. Pamela Rutledge's insight:

This article made me so happy. DESIGN MATTERS.  HOW SOMETHING LOOKS INFLUENCES CONSUMER EXPERIENCE.  Consumer experience is largely emotional.  Design is a way of triggering emotions to support and align with user experience.  As someone who's foundation is rooted in the psychology of design, I feel like I've been hollering into dead space, as I'm sure many designers do.  Steve Jobs knew that design sets expectations and creates a psychological environment that frames product use.  The whole field of Data Viz is built on design choices to communicate. Design (or lack of it) is one of the reasons I've never used Google Mail in spite of it's functionality.  It's just TOO UGLY.  Developers take note.  This isn't about Millennials.  It's about design.
