One of the feature that is almost common across all the apps is the registration form.Registration forms are included for number of reasons one of them is for knowing the customer,When you include the Registration form in the app you should embed it carefully because registration forms most of the times are the deciding factors ie it can be a make or break for a app

Makes sure that the form elements are relevant to purpose 

When you are trying to open a app one thing that comes up first is registration,this happens in most of apps, when ever they ask for the information might be personal or just the mobile number people usually move out of the app when they feel that it is not necessary to fill the form 

So it is very important to include the form elements that are very relevant to the app purpose

 

Give the good clarity between the sign in and sign up for the users

When the user opens up the app and try to register the users most of the time they might end up in a confusion one sign up and sign in most of the time user might end up clicking on sign in instead of signup, this is a issue a user experience where users usually go with what ever they can access on the screen at first and to avoid this you need to design both the sign and signup elements carefully

 

Make sure the password authentication is a easy experience 

When ever you are filling in the form you are filling all the elements easily when it comes to password you might have a hit with the validaations and other security checks but this might be reason for many audience to be upset with the app The best solution is the validation of the passwords are really simple or include the third party reigdtration where it is quick to register through third party apps
