Three tips for ipad mini app developers

Last week, the ipad Mini, which had so many fruit and fruit powder necks, has finally unveiled a veil of mystery. Although the ipad mini is no different than the size of the ipad (its selling point is not discussed here), it is a new device, so there are some things to note about application development. Here's a three-point recommendation from Xtreme Labs product director Boris Chan to application developers. One-hand use of the ipad mini size determines that it is more suitable for a single hand operation, and developers should be aware of this, from the user's point of view to think about how a hand will operate. The scaling action that once prevailed on the ipad may not be appropriate on the ipad Mini, and clicking, double-clicking, scrolling may appear more frequently in the ipad Mini's command action. In addition, the page design is best to appear less, in typesetting the best to make readers more convenient to see all content. Icon default vertical The current ipad app icon basically defaults to horizontal, but as a single hand operation will become the mainstream of the ipad Mini, it may change. Even if it is not the default vertical, at least support vertical mode-especially the application of reading classes. One thing has to be eliminated: The ipad mini is also a tablet, not a mobile phone, so in order to protect the user experience, it's not just a proportional amplification of the iphone app to the ipad Mini. Enhanced mobility because of the portability of the ipad Mini, it will be used more and more on the road. In other words, it can be positioned, and can be more closely related to the surrounding environment. How to apply this to the development process is a factor that developers can seriously consider. Google Maps and Waze at this point is a good reference. Since many people will walk while watching the ipad Mini, there is no way to sink down, so it is important to design the content at a glance. In addition, as opposed to the ipad, users may be more use of the ipad mini camera, recording, camera features, so developers can also develop more applications of this type of functionality.
