Hi everyone! I’m a UX designer working in a digital bank, and part of my job is to keep up with best practices in product design and user experience.

I’m looking for mobile apps that are truly top-tier when it comes to UX and UI — apps that really nail the fundamentals, follow solid design guidelines, and go the extra mile in terms of usability and visual consistency.

Which apps do you consider to be must-follow examples? Bonus points if they’re also great case studies for accessibility, onboarding, or microinteractions.

Thanks in advance!

I've been implementing multiple different flows for a web app. There are an infinite number of ways to implement, say, a pricing page, a user profile page, a checkout page. What do you use to find the most effective way of doing something? Preferably, these patterns are backed by some sort of real world experience and are proven to be highly converting.

Working on an app that allows users to sign-up with their email address or using their Apple ID/Google account. The sign-up process itself does not seem too complicated, but I’m wondering about UX for account management after sign-up. Essentially what options should be available in the account settings?

What I have in mind might be edge cases, but I could imagine people wanting to change their sign-in method or to use a different email address although having signed up with their Apple ID email address initially.

Would appreciate any insights or links to articles on this topic. Thanks!

(1) Create a txt file and store it in "C:\Users\yourUserName\Scripts/ReplaceXboxAppAsFSEHome.ps1"

(2) If you want to replace the home app with Armory Crate, paste the following into the text file

# Xbox Replacement Monitor Script
# This script continuously checks for the presence of the Xbox application process.
# If found, it kills the process and launches a replacement UWP application (Armoury Crate).

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# FUNCTION: Launch-UWPAppByName
# Dynamically finds and launches a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app.
# This is necessary because UWP apps do not have static file paths.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function Launch-UWPAppByName {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$PartialName
    )
    try {
        # 1. Find the UWP package based on a partial name
        $Package = Get-AppxPackage -Name "*$PartialName*" -ErrorAction Stop

        # 2. Get the Package Family Name (PFN) and Full Name
        $PFN = $Package.PackageFamilyName
        $PackageFullName = $Package.PackageFullName

        # 3. Get the primary Application ID from the manifest
        # This assumes the primary app ID is the first one found.
        $AppId = (Get-AppxPackageManifest -Package $PackageFullName).Package.Applications.Application.Id

        # 4. Construct the Application User Model ID (AUMID): PFN!AppId
        $AUMID = "$PFN!$AppId"

        # 5. Launch the app using the Windows Shell command
        Start-Process -FilePath "shell:AppsFolder\$AUMID" -WindowStyle Normal -Wait:$false
        return $true
    }
    catch {
        # Log an error if the app couldn't be found or launched
        Write-Error "Failed to launch UWP app '$PartialName'. Please ensure it is installed correctly. Error: $($_.Exception.Message)"
        return $false
    }
}

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONFIGURATION REQUIRED
# Set the name used to identify the replacement application.
# For UWP apps, this is usually the name shown in the Start Menu.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ReplacementAppName = "ArmouryCrate"

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Xbox Process Names
# We target common executables used by the modern Xbox/Gaming App.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$XboxProcesses = @(
    "XboxPcApp",      # Primary executable name
    "XboxApp",        # Older or alternative name
    "GamingApp"       # Process name associated with the package
)

# Infinite loop to continuously monitor processes
while ($true) {

    # Check each potential process name
    foreach ($ProcessName in $XboxProcesses) {
        
        # Get the process object, suppressing errors if the process is not running
        $Process = Get-Process -Name $ProcessName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

        if ($Process) {
            
            # --- ACTION TRIGGERED ---
            
            # 1. Stop the Xbox process forcefully
            $Process | Stop-Process -Force
            
            # Optional: Log the action (useful for debugging, can be removed later)
            # Add-Content -Path "C:\temp\XboxReplaceLog.txt" -Value "$(Get-Date) - Detected and terminated $($ProcessName). Launching replacement."

            # 2. Launch the replacement application (Armoury Crate) using the UWP function
            Launch-UWPAppByName -PartialName $ReplacementAppName
            
            # Break the inner loop, wait, and start monitoring again
            break
        }
    }
    
    # Wait for 2 seconds before checking again to minimize CPU usage
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
}

(3) If you want to replace the home app with Steam Big Picture, paste the following into the text file

# Xbox Replacement Monitor Script
# This script continuously checks for the presence of the Xbox application process.
# If found, it kills the process and launches Steam Big Picture Mode.

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONFIGURATION REQUIRED
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Set the **FULL PATH** to the Steam executable (steam.exe)
# This is the standard installation path. Adjust if yours is different.
$SteamPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe"

# Arguments to launch Steam in Big Picture Mode
$SteamArgs = "-tenfoot"

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Xbox Process Names
# We target common executables used by the modern Xbox/Gaming App.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$XboxProcesses = @(
    "XboxPcApp",      # Primary executable name
    "XboxApp",        # Older or alternative name
    "GamingApp"       # Process name associated with the package
)

# Infinite loop to continuously monitor processes
while ($true) {

    # Check each potential process name
    foreach ($ProcessName in $XboxProcesses) {
        
        # Get the process object, suppressing errors if the process is not running
        $Process = Get-Process -Name $ProcessName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

        if ($Process) {
            
            # --- ACTION TRIGGERED ---
            
            # 1. Stop the Xbox process forcefully
            $Process | Stop-Process -Force
            
            # Optional: Log the action (useful for debugging, can be removed later)
            # Add-Content -Path "C:\temp\XboxReplaceLog.txt" -Value "$(Get-Date) - Detected and terminated $($ProcessName). Launching replacement."

            # 2. Launch the replacement application (Steam Big Picture)
            if (Test-Path $SteamPath) {
                Start-Process -FilePath $SteamPath -ArgumentList $SteamArgs -WindowStyle Normal -Wait:$false
                Write-Host "Terminated $ProcessName and launched Steam Big Picture Mode."
            } else {
                Write-Error "Steam executable not found at '$SteamPath'. Please verify the path."
            }
            
            # Break the inner loop, wait, and start monitoring again
            break
        }
    }
    
    # Wait for 2 seconds before checking again to minimize CPU usage
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
}

(4) Open Task Scheduler app, and create a new task, and configure it as follows:
