I need some advice on mobile development.
I am a web developer and my company is desperately looking to develop a mobile app for a number of projects. We are a small company so they(company) will be looking to use there current resources(us web developers) to develop the apps. Now I have created a number of small mobile apps for myself in Telerik, Xamarin and started with a Native android App in android studio. But using those tools and languages to write the apps I always found that when it comes to the look and feel, I felt there was always some kind of limitation. Now it could just be me! But it still feels like I am doing it wrong... So my question is this. If I need to create mobile apps with a very unique look and feel where a 'list' and or 'Table' look and feel will not do.. what is my options, what is your recommendations? What is used to write the largest portion of apps on the app stores both android and Apple?
Thanks.

What I have tried:

Xamarin,
Telerik,
Cordova,
Java

1 solution

Even though it's list or table you can improve your UI. There few things that you could follow-

1. KISS - Keep is simple, stupid - Many clients prefer a minimal design as multiple tasks can be done with a simple UI and with fewer steps.
2. Ask others what they think about the UI. Have their take-ins. Analyze them and come up with the better solution.
3. Colors play most important roles in UI/UX, choose them wisely.
4. Animation - It adds to the beauty of an app by providing more delight to customers

Thanks Krunal for the awesome suggestions and links! I have read them and agree 100% making keeping it simple will sort out most of my issues! Now just the what would your suggestion be when it comes to the technology to use to write the app in, will plain Java in Android studio work for a graphically intense app work or would something like Unity be a better option(almost write a app/game)?
