At Baymard we’ve just released a new UX benchmark of Native Mobile Apps.

This adds to our existing e-commerce UX benchmark, and builds on our large-scale Mobile Apps testing and Premium research findings.

11 Mobile App Case Studies

The 11 apps have been manually assessed across 340+ research-based UX parameters relevant to Mobile Apps, resulting in 3,700+ weighted UX performance scores and 2,800+ best practice examples.

For the benchmark, we rated 11 apps: Macy’s, Nike, Wayfair, H&M, Home Depot, IKEA, Walmart, Staples, ASOS, Amazon, Sephora.

You can explore our 11 in-depth App UX case studies using the below links:
