![]() It only allows the user to choose between Always Hide or Always Show option during Reading Mode, which is kind of limited. The app is actually pretty good in terms of features and UI, but I didn’t quite like the way it handles the Status Bar. Let’s take RepliGo Reader as the first example. Some of the app designers/developers didn’t realize that the Status Bar is actually part of the System Bars, therefore if you decided to play around with it to get the maximum screen estate for your app, you have to do it right. Outdated Action Bar and low-res icons (UI/UX).In Android UI/UX tips #3, I have looked into some apps with the following UI/UX problems: What do you think? Do you like this redesign? Hit me with your comments/suggestions/critiques! I start sketching using my GUI Sketching Kit and transfer my sketching to the digital version, and it was pretty fun! It turns out to be pretty inspiring, and I am actually thinking to work with some great developers to make this design a real working app (Any taker? Let me know if there is such possibility!).Īnyway, below are all the mock ups for the redesign: So I started to play around with the app, and as expected, I got really frustrated using the app even though I am just trying to do some simple stuffs – a redesign is definitely required. It really surprised me when I found out the app is actually selling at $9.99 with this pretty dated and ugly user interface (and possibly bad user experience). If you want to see some comparison shots between the current version and my redesigned version, I have posted them in my G+, feel free to comment there as well!ĭuring the 25 billion app downloads celebration at Google Play Store, I noticed mSecure – Password Manager was in the 25 cents list, and after I reviewed the screenshots, I immediately buy it – not to use it (at this moment), but to redesign it.

The graph is not loaded at the proper size, old Android UI elements are still there, and the ugly legacy action overflow. The current Google Finance app is really ugly, which looks like a web-app rather than a native app. However, last Android Design in Action episode has put up a challenge to all Android developers/designers for some redesigned screens of any current apps, and that motivated me to continue working on this redesign despite of the really packed schedule. I have been thinking to redesign Google Finance app for a quite some time since I think all Google apps should have at least adapted to Holo Style UI, and I think there are still quite some number of users for the app (unfortunately not me because it doesn’t support share market of Malaysia), but I didn’t quite find the time for it.
