The document discusses three common navigation models for mobile apps: flat pages, tab bar, and tree structure. Flat pages involve swiping left and right between screens. They are well suited for casual browsing but don't scale well for large numbers of screens. Tab bars allow one-tap access to an app's main features but can only display five tabs and use screen space. Tree structures mimic folder hierarchies and allow scaling to large numbers of items, but switching between top-level items requires returning to the top level. Pros and cons of each model are provided.
