Not our content, but I loved this great presentation by our friends at Qubop.
My take aways:
- Apple values great visual design over human interface guideline compliance
- Assume nobody reads anything
- Make choices for users (no 50 configuration settings please!)
- Limit the number of clicks
- Don’t force a workflow on mobile
- Be consistent across different platforms
- New trends #1: 5 tab navigation, where the center tab answers the question “What do I do with this app?”
- New trends #2: hidden navigation is replacing tab bars
- New trends #3: users expect “Pull to refresh”
- New trends #4: iPad and iPhone are converging
Here are the slides from their presentation:
