Project 2

My 1st project STORE IT cannot be expanded to the TVOS platform due to its functionality and goals. As Drew suggested I would be taking an existing app (which is not already in apple tv app store)and will expand it to the TVOS platform. I researched a lot of food apps on the app store and finally chose All Recipes Video cookbook app , due to the nature of the content , which i though will be more appropriate for the living room environment.

Here is the link to my Presentation Project 2

For March 10

Everyone will be presenting next week. You’ll have 5-6 minutes for presentation and feedback.

  • Read the Apple TV HIG
  • Adapt your project 1 conecpt to as an Apple TV app. You don’t need to recreate all the same functionality. Think about what would intersect well with your phone concept and the new TV context
  • Create an app map and wireframes to document your proposed Apple TV food app functionality
  • If you have access to an Apple TV spend some time playing some games and apps. I’m not sure, but I bet that Apple stores have them set up to play with.

Cookgram: Final Presentation & Prototype

Presentation Slides

Concept: Cookgram is a recipe app where users can post their recipes as well-designed recipe album. All they need to do is take a picture every step, and then add texts.

It will be a community to explore, collect, make your own, and share recipes.

I didn’t quite happy with the previous ui design, so I redesigned the UI for the final presentation. Previous prototype can be found in my last post. 

Prototype 

Feedbacks from critics:

  1. Nice & clean UI design
  2. State the goal of the app: everyone can make pretty interactive
  3. Design the “camera” bigger and more popped up because the camera function is a bigger one in this app.
  4. Rename the “Home” icon to “Account/Profile”

Dump Cook App

Many Americans do not like to spend a lot of time making food. Adults in the US spends about 30 minutes a day on cooking and clean-up [from cooking].

Dump Cook seeks to help users like myself find super easy recipes that they can cook at home without hassle. This app is for those who hate cooking, but have to save money and eat healthy.

It includes Filters to find easy meals quickly. Users can search by an ingredient they already have, and filter by the number of total ingredients, cooking time, and popularity (how many likes it has).

The Cook Mode makes it easy to follow the step by step instructions with interactive timers.

When adding recipes, the app limits the recipe to 8 ingredients and 5 steps maximum.

Spice It Up | (Most) Final Prototype & Presentation

So we come at last to the end of our first project for Mobile Media, our food-app for either iOS or Android.

It’s funny, but my biggest reflection doing this – besides always do more user testing (which I learned hard last semester) – was actually on iOS UI elements and navigation.
