- Food App
Yummy is an app that you can explore and share your own hometown recipe. Based on my experience, students live in a foreign country always miss their homemade food a lot.
When opening this app, people will be put on a default page, and then, they can choose a filter to explore the food: hot, category, or country. The second part of this app design is users can create their hometown recipe and share. The last part is they can open their account to see what they have made. And also, they can look at the recipes (the likes) that is collected from others.
- Notes of iOS Human Interface Guideline
(1) Use animation and motion effects judiciously.
I didn’t know overusing the motions will make the users feel disorienting and difficult to control the app. It reminds me a work by Fyn Ng when I saw this guideline. This work used 3d models to represent an imagination of app. Maybe now it is not the time to do so. But in the future, it could be. So now, we still need to use the motions carefully, especially in apps that don’t provide an immersive feeling.
(2) Test your icon against different wallpaper.
The guideline provide an good example for testing icons on Home screen. I always test icons on a dark and white screen. But just as the guideline mentions, it is not enough, we need to check it on different photos of background, and even the dynamic one.
(3) Launch screen
Every app must have a launch screen. As the guideline mentions, it is a way to show your app is fast and responsive.
