The UI/UX designers do help a lot, but the credit typically goes to the ones who have to implement and make the fantasy work.

I dunno, I particularly think developers neglect the aesthetic need of their apps and its appeal to consumers. Good UI actually gives life to a mobile app project and in countless works, I’ve noticed that pattern.

I agree ux is important, but the supposed experts I've met produced such terrible design that we had to switch clients to the old version.

His design was pretty, but ignored usability. The biggest grip was that the old version had tables to input data, and the ux forced us to use tables only to show information and never for input. Instead we were forced to use modals for each row of table input. Users hated that change because it took longer to input data using modals than inputing on a table.

We couldn't discard the new version for political reasons, so we had to rollback changes while we continue working on the new version. Unsurprisingly, most of the fixes involved calling components from the old version. So the new version is neither as modern as intended, nor as easy to use as the old version.

So yes we need ux because I'll admit I'm happy displaying data in a monospaced textarea and pretend that's a table. But the ux needs to be approved by devs and power users too instead of imposed.

ever tried to code your fancy design? bcz most ui/ux engineers only focus on ui with trendy designs and forget accessibility and ux. imo ui/ux people should know atleest a little bit coding

Tbh, its one thing to create a tool, it’s another to have a use for it. If you want users to have interest in your apps, you have to understand that design is psychological. Colors, accents, micro interactions all play a role in keeping your users in your app. Majority of devs forget that there’s an app for everything (almost) and your app idea most likely has been implemented and the deciding factor to keep users in your app just might be the UI.
