App Navigation

What is App Navigation?

App navigation is the system that allows users to move between screens, sections, and features within a mobile application. It can include menus, tabs, buttons, navigation bars, links, and other interface elements that help users understand where they are and how to reach the content or functionality they need.

Why it matters

Clear navigation makes a mobile app easier to understand and use. When creating an app, the structure of screens and transitions between them should help users reach important features without unnecessary steps. In a visual app builder, navigation can be planned as part of the application structure by connecting screens, sections, and actions into logical user flows.

Example

A service company creates a mobile app with sections for services, booking, news, and company information. A navigation menu allows users to move between these sections and quickly find the functionality they need.
