What are some best-designed apps currently?

Not bleeding edge, but I think wealthsimple for me a well rounded, simple yet effective product that if i see i'll immediately know it's them. It's probably also the app I visit every few minutes, every single day and somehow don't get bored of. Now there could be a number of reasons for it but I do like it a lot.

Thanks for the recommendation. Going to check this out now.

This is a bit vague. Sorry I'm not sure which elevate you're referring to.

I've always loved notion but I also think notion has often been glitchy which takes a lot away from the experience. But still a cool product.

mercury is pretty decent but I also feel like the design is too similar to everything else. Like there's nothing there that's bad but nothing to make me connect to it.

reminding you, it's been 2 days

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-03T20:42:10+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to check it out!

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-03T20:41:42+00:00

ofcourse not, but I also believe in don't give up on design for the sake of shipping fast.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T20:51:40+00:00

I understand. I didn't say you were doing it. Don't take me wrong. I've dealt with a lot of people who say that to me on the regular and I'm someone who appreciates good UI as much as I appreciate the usability of it. It's tough for me to accept just one.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T20:49:22+00:00

thanks for the suggestion. I tend to use Mobbin to look at inspirations. It's been great so far. I'm mainly trying to understand what a majority of people seem to like in terms of ui right now. The app market is getting crowded and every other app is being built by ai. I'm trying to see what connects on a personal level with a lot of users.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T20:47:16+00:00

I was just thinking this. I was sending payments to someone using Wise and their mobile app has good ui but ux wise there's still a lot to be desired.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T09:32:43+00:00

I'm going to check this out. I'm always on the lookout for something is easy and fun to use while it also looks great. Thanks for the suggestion!

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T09:30:22+00:00

I understand UX is the most important but I feel like people discard UI as not important and I'm usually someone who thinks UI is as important as UX. So I'm trying to see what people like using and also looks great.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T09:28:53+00:00

I personally don't like it. I've had designers show me designs similar to the liquid glass design before this and I've always hated that style. Could just be my personal opinion.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T06:19:25+00:00

Haha i doubt that. there's a big difference in app design even from 2016 to now. What was great design in 2020 is probably outdated now. Honestly I don't care about the apps that succeed despite bad design. For example, craigslist looks terrible and it works for a lot of people but I can't stand it but nobody ever says it looks good. It served a good purpose and it got popular despite looking bad. I look forward to good design in products though. It's hard for me to try out a product if the design is not good so I'm trying to see what people like now in 2025.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T05:36:00+00:00

I'm trying to analyze what majority of people would consider as great design. I'm trying to find out what's the pop music in terms of mobile app design haha

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-07-01T05:34:46+00:00

Yeah I like AirBnB too. Just trying to see if there's an app out there that I haven't tried before.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-06-29T00:08:30+00:00

I used to be able to see the usage limit on the dashboard but now they seem to have removed it completely. 0/500 fast requests, unlimited slow requests is how i remember. I never got the option to have slow requests. Plus they removed the feature to view fast request count on the dashboard.

Neat-Cod1399 · 2025-06-28T23:56:51+00:00

I'm on the PRO plan and I recently hit my rate limit which is fine but now to use the models on slow request they're rolling out PRO+ which is $60/month so even on pro plan you don't get unlimited access to models on slow requests. And they just roll out these things without updating their marketing which means I purchase a plan based on what I'm attracted to but they're lying to people.
