Spritz (This app makes reading 500 words per minute easy)
I found an interesting app for android (They don’t have ios version yet) called “Spritz”
Based on a regular way of reading people eyes are moving around paragraphs to find words and read them. With the traditional way, our reading takes a bit of time be because of eyes movement.
However, “Spritz” app has changed your way of reading by providing word by word reading style into a reading box and each word has a red letter to be a focusing point. (each word has different focusing point) then users don’t have to move their eyes around to read. They mentioned that with this new method users can read faster than before.
I think it’s an interesting app since it’s simple and very piratical especially user interface that they designed on the phone.

Feedback: “IOS Human Interface Guidelines”
I focused on reading topics I’m interested in. And here are my thoughts:
Enlightened
I focused on reading an article about Apple’s UI elements. Apple has specific guidelines for user interface elements with consistency. I like how Apple combines their design principle to their apps in unity style and how they keep their identity. For this reason, I prefer App design for iOS than Android.
Confused
Since the appearance of iPhone, Apple takes care of user experience and they added some finger gestures for action. However, I’m still confused with this because I sometimes don’t know what gestures I need to do for some apps.
