A poor user interaction in mobile apps could lead to failure of an app. The used of mental model theory could help the mobile apps developers to design a greater user interface (UI). This study discussed on how mental model theory implemented in interface design practices for a mobile shopping app development. Mental model theory using ‘Localization’ and content analysis method will be used throughout this research study. The expected output of this research is to develop a fast, user-friendly and strong visual hierarchy interface guideline for a UID of mobile shopping apps. According to this study, different gender had a different mental model on the user interface for a mobile shopping app.
