User flows — App development for students

Developer's tip

Which screen next? — “list the steps of a task in order; each screen leads to a clear next step”

1. A user flow = the screens of one task, in order.
2. Each screen should lead to a clear next step; no dead ends.
3. Sign-up: open → Sign up → name and email → password → code → home.

Use it for: Planning the screens of your app and finding confusing steps in apps you use.

Worked example: 🔢 In a sign-up flow, what comes right after “open the app”? → tap “Sign up”
