12306 app What should I love you for?

Near the Spring Festival, the annual spring rush ticket fight has begun again! Some time ago a 12306 mobile phone number two-way verification of the news brush The Friends Circle, 12306 app with this move without spending a penny rushed to the app Store free list first.

Actually, I haven't used 12306 official apps in a long time. Look at the icon that the dirty red and blue color I have been drunk, open 12306 APP, my heart is breaking, feel the whole people are not good, is still so .... Beep..

Don't say, send a few screenshots you feel:

This slightly dull color (this is the legendary high ash), rough interface, virtual edge of the icon, the density of different white spacing, so that the people plug the layout, an interface on more than n font size of the text, the most intolerable is not loaded without the center! Not centered! Not centered! The important thing to say three times, obsessive-compulsive disorder cannot endure, Are you sure it wasn't developed directly from the prototype?

Experience, the blunt switch dynamic effect, the operation of the card burst, the most important thing is that has defeated the country's 99% ticket buyers of the wonderful work ... Inspection... Proof ... Code... Agreed to "convenient purchase tickets"! This is not I can express clearly in words, I believe that the small partners have already experienced.

Before seeing many small partners to redesign the 12306 app, everyone has their own different feelings and ideas about 12306 app.

I also had a redesign of 12306 early last year:

At that time 12306 APP is not this version, the Niang a bit at that time I redesign when I see the version, you feel.

Simply pick a few interfaces to tell me what I was designing--because it was practice, and I didn't have any actual APP project experience, so some of the functionality was hypothetical, might conflict with development, and there were some features that were not taken into consideration now.

The original intention of the 12306APP redesign was: Do not want to engage in the concept of unrestrained cool design, with flat footsteps, visual flat, information architecture level flat, discard the complex redundant functions and elements, design a user to look at Shuxin, simple operation, ticket convenience and practical app--to the user less choice, Highlight the information, with less clicks and time to buy tickets.

The objective factor of the Spring Festival travel is automatically ignored, because it is really not a ticket to rob!!! (in this contempt for iron total on the Spring Festival passenger route planning and hateful scalpers)

12306 APP Overall Hue uses the red and dark gray blue as the main hue, on the one hand is the Ministry of Railways logo is red, on the other hand, considering the red is the irritant color, can dive to speed up the user to browse booking information, the speed of ticket purchase.

Dark gray Blue This color, purely in order to match with the red, relying on intuition, the wood has theoretical support (I am a wild dispatched).

Select the location side bar pop-up city, is to let the entire APP in depth level of shallow. A small partner will say click on the letter to choose when the error is easy to return to the main interface, this time is not able to click on the right to return, but select the city after the automatic return or gesture left-sliding drag back to the main interface. The idea doesn't take into account some of the mobile specs, and I'm probably not going to take this interactive form now.

The "More" of the tab bar, which is not a high-frequency plate, did not take into account, but followed the original 12306 layout, and now I will integrate it into the "personal". Changed to "Rob Ticket" is also good, this user pain point did not think Ah, failed!

The ballot page, the top time and the screening function remain fixed, consistent with the main interface, allowing users to maintain the operating habits, reduce the interface jump after the user's visual fault and identify the pause time of thinking. Time can be left and right to choose, relative to the point of the election on a day to more flexible selectivity.

Click the "+" Drop-down filter function in the upper right corner. At that time the booking was not as early as 60 days in advance so much, so the drop time to choose this piece now seems to be not so good experience. A small partner may say that the user to the upper right corner of the "+" the specific function of the cognitive is very low, under normal circumstances will not know what to use. This will be the first time a new user to enter the interface when there is a text guide instructions.

Select the train you want after the bottom pop-up purchase ticket button. Maybe my friends will ask me why I want users to click two times instead of just clicking the desired train to enter the next booking page.

On the one hand, I consider that the user will be in the process of sliding down the browsing information may be misoperation, and the point is not the ticket you want (this chance seems very small, may be I think more), on the other hand, considering that the user may continue to go down to see other train options, so in the back of the time, Large area of color block selection allows users to quickly locate, reducing the user to repeatedly slide the search time.

The next purchase of the ticket page, the original idea is to simply show the basic information is good, now look back, in the practicality and user experience still need to be missing, such as the number of votes, tickets, such as the remaining time to pay some basic information are not taken into account.

Simply summarize the principles that I've been following when I redesigned app:

· Strict adherence to visual specifications, including font size, spacing, icon size

· Maintain good interactive thinking, good products must be based on a good interactive experience

· Experience the best app products

Wild sent raw, Wood has strong data to support, Wood has a wealth of theoretical basis to explain each design details, now look back to this design is slightly thin and immature. Mobile design in the constant change of innovation and development, and now there are many excellent third-party booking assistants, I believe that the small partners experience so many products, there is better than I thought, so that users surprise interactive function and visual presentation form.
