What is the tickets app used for?
Buying a ticket to anywhere in the world is becoming easier and faster every year. The world's airlines have switched to e-tickets long ago, which can be purchased and paid online in just a few minutes. Having a modern smartphone in your pocket makes it even easier to do this: at any time and in any place, a person can become an air ticket holder. Online ticket booking systems greatly simplify the preparation for the trip — you do not need to go somewhere, stand in a queue, you can book tickets and pay on the website — and hand over them if necessary. KATASIS company offers development services for finding and booking tickets.

It is important to consider such rules for development ticket design apps:
- Predictability.
- Simplicity for beginner and convenience for the advanced user.
- Repeated interaction with the application should be faster than the first.
Predictability
Applications that offer mass standard services should be predictable, especially when it comes to ticket sales. Even without starting the application, the user must be aware of what is waiting for him inside, and the task of the developer is not to deceive his expectations.
Therefore, you should not experiment with UI too much so as not to leave the user in the wilds of an incomprehensible interface. It is better to abandon radical ideas and focus on the creative development of existing norms.
Simplicity for beginner and convenience for the advanced user
If a person has just installed the application, you should not be frightened by the abundance of buttons, columns and the complexity of the menu. The regular user of the application should receive additional features due to enhanced functionality and customization.
Repeated interaction with the application should be faster than the first
All data must be entered only once — during the first use of the application. We believe that in mobile applications you need to save everything except payment information.
