45 awesome mobile app mockups to download
45 free mobile mockup templates to download plus Justinmind’s top tips for designing your own mobile app mockup
Designing a mobile app mockup is the best way to visualize how your app will look and feel when complete. It lets you test out both visual and information hierarchy and gives you the opportunity to test drive any gestures such as swiping and tapping. It’s also a great way of scoring stakeholder buy-in and gives you a real MVP that you can test out on your users.
However, if you’re new to the game or simply don’t have time to start from scratch, fear not! We have plenty of templates available. Working with templates is a walk in the park because:
- Visual / information hierarchy has already been defined
- They let you focus more on brand-specific adjustments like color and font
- They help you set design priorities and gauge feasibility of client requests
- They bring you to an MVP faster
If you want to design your own mobile app mockup from scratch, or you want the help of a template, this post is for you. Read on for the dos and don’ts of mobile app design and to discover seven brilliant mobile mockup templates to use in the Justinmind mockup tool.
Your primary concern throughout the mobile design process should be your users. Users need to know exactly how to work your app, because if they get lost, they may close the app never to return.
That’s why designers build functional app mockups with built-in mobile gestures that target users can interact with. Upon completion of the first mobile app mockup iteration, users will be able to test out and give feedback on the app’s navigation flow and touch UI elements. This will allow you to make your app mockup as accessible and inclusive as possible.
It goes without saying that both sites and apps should be usable. But when designing a mobile app mockup, you’ll also need to think about accommodating smaller screens by appropriately adjusting your use of UI colors, whitespace and touch elements.
Defining and testing out mobile gestures with your target audience is a good way to keep them in the loop. But what about when the user needs more guidance?
Whether they’re waiting for a page to load, refreshing their email inbox or filling out a form, your mobile app mockup needs to give the user feedback on their interaction. How? With microinteractions.
These miniature interactions take place upon a user’s interaction with an app, and offer visual and actionable cues on what’s coming. Though only engaging the user for an instant, microinteractions provide a more complete picture of the state of the user’s request.
Every user touchpoint in your mobile app relies on your mobile UI pattern, or navigation pattern. The wrong pattern will make it more difficult for your users to get from Point A to B, cause them frustration and diminish the user experience.
Users don’t respond well to change – so keep things familiar or you’ll quickly lose them.
“People tend to be unaware of an app’s navigation until it doesn’t meet their expectations.”
Human Interface Guidelines for iOS -
When mocking up a mobile app, it’s important to use a mobile pattern that users are comfortable with. This will help to ensure that their experience is as seamless as possible.
Additionally, make sure that your mobile pattern is in sync with your operating system (Android or iOS). For instance, both Android and iOS use tabbed bottom bars. But whilst Android uses the Overflow menu for additional settings, Apple and iOS use the More Options menu.
No matter what kind of mobile app mockup you’re designing, a good designer won’t deviate from design standards or principles. Here are a couple of bad design habits to avoid when approaching the mockup phase:
Every mobile app needs to offer its new users an onboarding experience. App onboarding helps introduce new users to the app, walk them through features and set up their online account.
Keep onboarding short, focused and interactive to avoid cognitive load. Successful onboarding can help improve user retention and engagement.
Apps with great UX are those that save users time and effort. Mobile users are often on the go, and don’t have the time or patience to be asked for the same information twice. Default values and placeholders – such as suggestions in sign up form input fields and recent places in map apps – can be a big help.
But what’s even more important than design pitfalls? Using the right tool to mock up your app! Justinmind allows you to mock up the visual and functional components of your mobile app and then test them with real users. That’s why it’s a strong contender for the title of best mockup out there.

Furthermore, all the visual hierarchy has already been determined by Justinmind’s in-house designers, so you can just focus on editing the content and reinforcing your brand!

Looking to create a photo editing app or similar feature? Or do you simply want to test out what you can do with slider elements in Justinmind? If so, you should definitely take our Before and After app mockup template for a spin.
The level of interaction already built into this mobile app mockup template is remarkable, yet the premise is quite simple: you‘ll see this app contains a greyscale photograph that you can adjust to saturate with color, merely by moving the slider from left to right and vice versa.
However, that’s not the only slider interaction you can add into your mockups in Justinmind – you can also use it to add other effects like sepia and to adjust aspects like contrast, brightness and blur.
This template demonstrates the greyscale effect for the purpose of demonstrating the power of the transition interaction that you can add into your mockup apps in Justinmind.

Our Store App mobile mockup template is great for use in an ecommerce mockup. The screens in this mockup are already very complete, featuring a large image of each product (in this case headphones) that the user can change by browsing through a carousel of product images. Forward and Backward buttons with the relevant built-in interactions adorn each side of the carousel.
If you try adding some of the products to the shopping cart at the top right, you’ll notice that a number appears overlaid on top of the icon indicating the quantity of products that you added.
Clicking on “more info” beside each product will let you view the product from various angles, in a similar fashion to Amazon. There are also some color selector radio buttons that let the user view images of the product in various colors. In addition to that, you’ll notice an inbuilt modal window that pops up when you click on the cart that lets you adjust the number of products you selected using drop-down lists.
The checkout button then brings you to the checkout page where the user can fill in their details with editable text fields, select the expiration date of their credit cards with a date picker and their country from a drop-down list.
If you’re designing an ecommerce mobile app mockup, you’ll find that most of the work is already done for you in terms of visual hierarchy, navigation design, and content hierarchy, not to mention interaction. Once again, Justinmind’s in-house design team worked wonders with this template!

Deleting a file accidentally can sometimes have precarious consequences. That’s why something as simple as a confirmation message can really help improve UX. And that’s exactly what this Confirmation Pop-Up mobile app mockup aims to do.
This template features a list of messages from a messaging app that have been highlighted so the user can delete them by pressing the classic “X” symbol. That then prompts a modal window to pop up where they have to confirm they want to “delete” the message or “cancel” the procedure.
The great thing about this mockup app template is that the color scheme and symbolization is already thought out. For example, the X is in red, the vector image on the modal window of the person and the trash can is in red and the delete button is in bold red as well. Only the “cancel” button and warning text are in red. The color scheme also provides great contrast for someone with color vision deficiency.
Even though these might seem like minor details, this mockup app template provides a functional – if not necessary – feature for any messaging, media or data-heavy app. For best results, why not combine this mockup screen with our other messaging app mockup template?

As we like to say here at Justinmind, it’s all in the details – our zoom button is made intuitive with a +/- symbol that changes once maximum zoom-in and zoom-out are reached.
The Pan and Zoom mobile app mockup can be a huge timesaver when you have to design map screens for your mockup – just replace it with your own map and icons. Most of the work is already done for you!
