Mobile App splash Screen

This article starts in Mdchina, brings together a group of product managers and designers who love mobile internet, and is also a professional http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/38917.html "> Sharing platform."

The official iphone design guide for the boot picture (launch images) description is expected to enable developers to simplify the application's startup process as much as possible, using the background image of the application's home page as the startup picture, allowing the program to start quickly, but there are very few applications that follow this recommendation.

On the PC, because the large game and software loading time is relatively long, start screen application is more, there are two main content: The first is the company's brand image, beautiful interface including brand logo and advertising language; the second is to display the load content and progress. If the load time is long, perhaps also will play a video, to create the game atmosphere is really helpful.

When you use mobile apps, you use less time than you have on your PC, usually instant-start, and the Time tolerance for program startup is much lower. Simply using the progress bar is to ease the user's waiting mood and to inform the user that the application is working and is a design tool that is not available. If your application supports booting from multiple directions, you also need to consider whether the startup picture and animation effects also support multiple orientations, which also increases the size of the installation package. The Symbian platform, which is generally relatively small for installation packages, is not suitable for overly complex startup effects.

Vegetative war Zombie in the progress bar also add some details, very humorous and cleverly pleasing to the user.

Moreover, as the time network launches the picture and displays a few seconds and contains information about the movie poster, which diverts the user's attention while waiting, the user may feel it is worthwhile to wait a few seconds for useful information.

Another advantage of the iphone's official recommended startup picture is a smooth transition between images. After loading is complete, the application's home page adds specific information to the visual transition nature, rather than starting the picture. Using a custom picture, a different interface uses gradients or translation animations for the above design purposes. In other platforms, these effects are not easy to implement, and the problem of screen suitability is likely to be the main reason for stifling complex design. Program loading itself takes time, and if you start pictures and animations that cause the system to slow down, it's putting the cart before the horse.

Mobile application start-up will also be accompanied by networking, some programs at the start of the network immediately, detect the absence of networks to exit the program, this practice is not necessary. The iphone will save the last exit interface, display the interface and then kindly remind the user that the application is networked before they can continue to use it. If the networking is not very pressing, you can place it in the process after the program completes loading.
