Why AI-Built Apps Feel Cheap (And How to Fix It)

You can spot an AI-generated app in about five seconds: no press feedback, no haptics, inputs that hide behind the keyboard. None of that is hard to fix. These are the five details I use in my AI Tattoo app to make it feel premium, and I show each one running on real screens in the video.

What's inside

• Press states with spring physics using the Presto package
• Subtle fades and crossfades instead of animations that beg for attention
• Haptics with Pulsar by Software Mansion to build physical trust
• Keyboard behavior that animates cleanly with React Native Keyboard Controller
• Loading and empty states that look intentional, not broken
