How many functions is sufficient for an application?

If you have a high usage rate for apps in your mobile phone, especially if you have tools, you might encounter some of these apps: a multitude of features that provide a myriad of social platforms to back up to all the cloud storage you can imagine. Using this app can almost completely manage your life so that you get rid of bad habits 5 times times more efficient and so on, however, you just don't want to use it, maybe because it's too powerful for you to deserve it, or because it's too complex to deter you, in short, you just won't use it. In the previous article "Hush!" Whisper when the "whisper" in the mentioned, when a type of application has developed to function more perfect, the further development should be based on the application of the positioning to do subtraction-highlighting the function and use of the scene, with the left to guide the user function. Of course, not all applications take this route, there are also some applications that want to do all-inclusive. There is a application called multiple C health reminders, as well as the Web page end of more than C-net. There is no essential difference in function between the two. Users can post a "lifestyle"-the so-called lifestyle is a series of movements, include the name of the method, the thing to do in a certain time of day (application is called "habit"), or a note reminder to be sent at a certain period (application is called "tabloid"), can be in any event and reminder on the map and text. Yes, the app itself is as complex as it sounds, and I'm completely confused about what "habit" and "tabloid" really mean, and how I should handle it. Not only that, the app is a bit more complicated than a Web-page service: It can be clicked in almost every position, and then pop out of your interface. The app itself wants to give users a high-order feature--You can customize your plans, follow other people's plans, review the two, share social platforms, invite friends, and view report points ... If you want to play around with this application, you may spend far more energy than you have for 30 days of running. I understand that multiple C health reminders want to provide users with richer features and more personalized choices, but maybe it's a problem with a lot of apps starting up: personalizing some buttons or names, hoping to deepen the user's impressions with some cleverness, but because there is no intuitive literal understanding of the correct guide to explain, Causes impact to user use. In fact, there are also a lot of rich applications, such as the Mac and iOS platform, the famous GTD (time management) software OmniFocus is known for its powerful and perfect, but the difference is that OmniFocus first Price limited a part of the user, the second software use scene is very strong, Only a very high demand for GTD and proficient in every aspect of the user will need, and for ordinary users, software in the interface to tell you: "Sorry, we are for professionals." "Known as the best riding aids on iOS M.I. bike at first glanceA fairly complete function, from elevation to heartbeat readily available, but also can design sports goals and sports plans, but these complex functions are all referred to the application itself processing, users only need to open the application, riding on the bus can be. Another design has a good effect: Kingdee produced by the use of financial management also provides a rich choice of functions, you can use a number of books, synchronization of credit cards and Taobao data, a sound report generation, multiple accounts multiple account design enough for users to manage the family through the application or even small enterprises financial situation. But his main interface is very simple, with a very prominent button "remember a pen" to tell the user, you only need to click on it, you can record your own financial situation. Even if you don't understand what's behind it, the simplest and most practical features are the most prominent. Whatever the design approach is, it's not that the existing app must be done to lose weight and be flattened. An application that integrates many functions is sometimes good, like a Swiss army knife, if possible, the richer the function, the better, but either the shape of each tool is obvious, if a screwdriver that looks like a spoon doesn't know how to use it, or it's clear to the user that professionals use this , it's no use to you, or give the user a knife that can be deformed with demand, when you need it, you can stop it, and it's up to the tool. Providing comprehensive functionality is not the wrong idea, and it's good for both sides to address both the large user needs and the opportunity to create business models, but once users feel that they are using the app itself more than they need to solve with the app, It seems like abandoning it and switching to another app is the choice for most people.
