Looking Forward

Capstone Component

It is often said that the best mobile applications are those that are simple, easy to use, and well executed. Often, this involves identifying an MVP or minimal viable product. What features do you consider core to your application idea? Are they secondary or nice to have features? What is truly important to your user? How might those features look? What information will they need to display to the user? What information will the user provide? How do you plan on arranging that information?

In This Lesson

Organizing your application into concise and distinct features that flow in a highly-usable experience is a critical step in any successful application. While going through the lesson, think about the following:

How many distinct features do the applications you use have?
How are they arranged?
What might the navigation graph look like for these applications?
How do you, the user, navigate to and from each feature?
What navigation methods are present?
Do they work well with the hardware navigation?
Have you ever felt abandoned or unable to get where you want to go?
Are other applications a part of the experience? Browser, Camera, etc.
