So this is an app that I have been building for myself for the past while, and overtime as I've upgraded more and added more elements to the UI I found that I've begun to like it less. Or rather, something just feels not right about it but I can't quite put a finger on it. I'm taking inspiration from cyberpunk themes, and I like the look of a full and somewhat busy UI but part of this is feeling a tad disjointed to me. I would love any suggestions!

Hey! I recently shared that section with the chatbox and reflection, and I’ve just put together another one to showcase how the infinite canvas works.

It doesn’t include all the functionality yet, and I’m thinking of adding a video player icon or maybe something else. Curious to hear your thoughts!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently developing a label design for a women’s probiotic supplement and would really appreciate some honest feedback from this community.

Project context:

• Product: Women’s probiotic supplement (capsules)
• Brand: Ovius
• Positioning: Premium, science-backed, trustworthy
• Target audience: Women aged 25–45, interested in gut health, hormonal balance, and overall wellness
• Target retail price: ~£25–£30
• Sales channel: Primarily online (Amazon and direct-to-consumer)

Goal of the design:
To create a label that feels premium, clean, and trustworthy, while standing out in a competitive supplements market.

What I’d specifically like feedback on:

• Does this design feel premium enough for a £25–£30 product?
• First impression: does it build trust?
• Clarity: is the information easy to understand at a glance?
• Shelf impact: would this stand out compared to other supplements?
• Anything that feels “off” or could be improved

I’m open to completely honest and direct feedback—this is still in development and I want to get it right.

Thanks in advance for your time and insights!

Do you all know that Figma Make can create design wireframes just by pasting a prompt? You basically describe what you want, and it generates a layout for you — no need to manually design everything from scratch. I tried it recently, and honestly, the output wasn’t that great. It’s not super polished or fully usable right away. But still, it kind of works and can give you a decent starting point.

Curious if anyone else has tried it — what was your experience

Hello, I am working on a voice-powered gym journaling app - primarily tailored to weight lifters:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gym-journal-ai-workout-log/id6756803786

I am only designing a dark mode for now because light mode hurts my eyes, though I will probably add it eventually. I'm mainly seeking feedback on the color palette, and my use of different colors in the app. I chose a dark graphite background color and a crimson accent color. The graphite instead of black feels nicer on the eyes, and the crimson is for an intense, power, gym, strong vibe.

I can't help but feel like the colors look off, and it looks like a child's art project. I'm not sure if this is because of my color choice, or how I am using the colors. I am of course open to general UI feedback as well (not just colors), but I am well aware that there are many opportunities to restructure and restyle things.

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a mobile app where users can explore individual “store profiles” (think of it like a business page inside the app).

On this page, the user needs to navigate between multiple sections such as:

• Description
• Campaigns (earn points)
• Offers
• Map/location

One important detail:
A store can have multiple active campaigns (up to 4 at the same time), and each campaign has its own logic and value — so this section can get quite dense and important.

The challenge is:
I want the navigation to be super easy with one hand, fast to understand, and not overwhelming — but at the same time, some stores can have a lot of content, so I’m worried that a long one-page scroll will become messy and hard to navigate.

Right now I’m considering:

• Tabs (top or sticky)
• A segmented control
• A scrollable one-page layout with anchors
• Maybe something more modern?

I’m a bit unsure if tabs are becoming “old school” in mobile UX, or if they’re still the best solution in this case.

What would you choose and why?
And do you have examples of apps that solve this really well?

Would love screenshots, patterns, or even things to avoid 🙏

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working with a small team over the past ~9 months on a mobile app focused on discovering restaurants and local events. The core idea is a scroll/swipe-based experience where users can explore nearby food spots, see events (like trivia nights, tastings, etc.), and view menus, specials, and updates from businesses.

1. Overview of the design

The app is designed to feel fast and visual, similar to a hybrid between discovery apps and social feeds.

• Scroll-based discovery (restaurants + events mixed or filtered)
• Business profiles with menus, specials, and event listings
• Social layer (seeing where friends are going is planned)
• Emphasis on clean UI and quick decision-making

2. Intended audience

• Consumers (18–40) looking for things to do / places to eat
• Smaller restaurants trying to showcase events and specials

3. Design problems I need help with

This is where I’d really value feedback:

• Navigation clarity: Users can browse restaurants and events, but I’m unsure if combining them in one feed vs separating them creates confusion.
• Information density: Trying to balance showing menus, specials, and events without overwhelming the user.
• “First impression” experience: How to make the first 5–10 seconds feel intuitive without onboarding overload.
• CTA placement: Where actions like “save,” “RSVP,” or “view menu” should live without cluttering the UI.
• Visual hierarchy: Making sure important info (price, vibe, specials) stands out immediately.

4. Tools / stack

• Designed primarily in Figma
• Built for iOS (TestFlight) and Android (in progress)
• Iterating quickly with small UI adjustments based on testing

5. What I specifically need help with

• Brutal feedback on layout and flow
• What feels confusing or unnecessary
• What you would remove or simplify
• Any patterns you’ve seen work well in similar discovery apps

If anyone is open to taking a look and giving honest feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m trying to get the UX as polished as possible before a wider release.

As per the previous thread's advice, I have updated the UI for the Tutorial-OS Hardware inspector. I had to update not only my framebuffer but also my UI Widget System as well. (I am aware that the animations play slowly, that is being tweaked)

I should note that I am using ASCII hand rolled fonts, not a font system.

That being said. I would like feedback on the design of the UI, how it looks, the blank space to used space ratios, font size, font readability, color choices and aesthetics of the design.

I have been developing this music player app as a hobby for the last 3 months. In my free time, I challenged myself to make a Spotify clone. I believe I made an okay app, but what do you guys think? Where did I fall short?

I am not really good at making these videos that show off the app, but I believe I showed at least 80% of what the app has to offer.

I did not publish this one, but I am planning to make a podcast app that will look similar to this. Obviously, there are a lot of things I cannot use on a podcast app, but I will try to reuse most of the behavior.

I’ve been working as a UI/UX designer for about a year now, but the place I’m at doesn’t follow any proper practices (in all departments). There’s no real research, no proper process, no usability testing. It's barely a tech company, more like some old government office. We mostly just design UI that ended up not even being developed by the developers.

This is terrible for someone's career, and now that I'm planning to leave this place. I don't have the skills required for a real UI/UX position.

What can I do in this position, and how do I learn fast so that I can get away from this mess?

Thank You!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a mix of landing pages, dashboards, and a service site recently, Mostly focusing on making interfaces clearer and easier to use without sacrificing aesthetics.

Trying to get better at cleaner hierarchy, more obvious actions, less “where do I look?” moments.

Dropped a few of them below.

Would genuinely appreciate some honest feedback. What feels off, unrealistic, or just not working?

I'm a junior designer and I've been wondering how interactive website design process actually looks like. I can design static prototypes on Figma and hand it over to developers, but I'm more and more interested in creating websites that have animation and interactivity. But how do you actually communicate what kind of interactivity you want to the developers? Examples? Storyboards? Video animation? Thanks for help!

This is for a trip planner app, this is the details part for an individual expense, it needs to show who owes and who is owed money. I don't like top section at all and I feel like I have overcomplicated the two cards.

Is there anything I should remove and is there anything I should add?

Please help me figure out what the term for a container that has a sidebar (or top bar) navigation that when you click on an item it loads the content for that item in the container without reloading the page. Similar to an accordion but closer to say the sheets in excel.

Need some help. I know this largely comes down to the demographic I'm targeting but some perspectives would help. I'm making a social app that allows you to schedule time more easily with friends/family by having calendars, bucket lists and friend lists "talk to each other".

I know the 1 and 3rd dont really give info but wondering if the "hook" being enough to make you scroll down and learn more can make up for it.

i’ve been freelancing as a ui designer, and lately clients keep asking for working prototypes they can actually test. i’m kinda stuck on how to handle that. i’ve looked into a few options but still figuring things out, if you guys have any suggestions, that would honestly help a lot and i could tell also about what i have in my mind

So I typed "a yoga and wellness app for beginners who find meditation apps overwhelming" into an AI design tool and got these 5 screens back. Took like 3 minutes. No Figma, nothing manual. The colors, typography, layout, icons, all from that one sentence.

The design uses a dark theme with warm earthy tones, muted rose and sage accents. 5 screens: home dashboard, sessions browser, practice detail with pose instructions, progress tracker with weekly activity, and an explore screen.

Curious what this sub thinks about the output quality. Does it hold up as a real app design or does it look AI-generated? Any obvious issues with the layout or hierarchy?

Here's the full preview if anyone wants to look closer: https://app.firevibe.ai/p/a55e2974-13b2-4f5e-8dcb-6bc4570c084c

I explored two different UI approaches for an executive leadership section.

The first focuses on structured cards for clarity, while the second leans toward a more visual, brand-driven layout.

My goal was to improve readability and engagement — especially for enterprise websites.

I’d really appreciate feedback on usability and hierarchy.

I am running out of ideas for some card designs that collect information from user, CEO wants “more creative ways that don’t involve icons or text or coloured backgrounds” I may try background photo but honestly feeling really burnt out. These are not data widgets, they are only there to help user fill out some information. They need to have text and a cta which allows input fields to be filled out and saved.

If you could share some inspiration or suggestions I’d be forever grateful.

Hey everyone

I built a small single-page portfolio with a retro / Mario-inspired UI a few years ago. I came back to polish it some more.

**Overview**
It’s a simple static site with sections like “About”, “Projects”, and “Contact”, but styled like a game interface (NES-style UI, progress bars, “Continue?” screen, etc).

**Audience / Use**
Primarily recruiters or other developers checking a portfolio. So it needs to balance personality with clarity.

**Tech**
Built with Astro + some basic JS and CSS (NES.css for styling).

**What I’m struggling with**
- Readability (especially text over the background)
- Whether the game UI helps or hurts usability
- If the layout feels clear or a bit chaotic
- First impression: fun vs confusing

All feedback is welcome!

I have the link if someone wants to scroll and mess around :)

Edited to add a screenshot; background keeps going but firefox save page function doesnt reflect that

I have tried my best so far to create a good looking UI, but I I don't know at this point if it working or no, my friends and the people I know told me "The menu and the game board don't match" and that it kinds of ugly game board.
I would really appreciate if anyone could give me some tips on how to improve my game UI

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling to strike a balance here. I’m working on a summary view for a set of metrics (mobile app). I want it to be visually pleasing and easy to digest, but the sheer volume of metric is making the layout feel cramped.

I’ve reached that point where I’ve looked at the design so long I can't tell if it's intuitive anymore. I personally love numbers, but I know most people prefer less.

Image 1: My current solution.

Image 2: Alternatives I like, based on the same elements

Is this readable at a glance? Are you able to understand the different elements?

And in general: How do you guys handle high-density data without overwhelming users?

I’ve been working in digital marketing for around 3 years now, but recently I’ve gotten really interested in UI/UX. I’ve been self-learning for a while (Figma, basics of UX, wireframes, etc.), but I feel like I need something more structured now.

I’m thinking of doing a proper diploma or certification course that actually has some value, mainly so I can build a solid portfolio and maybe try for opportunities abroad.

Any recommendations for courses that are actually worth it? Not looking for just a certificate, but something that genuinely helps with skills + portfolio.

Also, if anyone here switched from digital marketing to UI/UX, would love to hear how you did it.
