We’re very happy to announce that our application – Tatra Mountain National Park – was chosen by the internauts this years best Android app in the Education category. The crowd vote was held as a part of the Appaward contest organised by the antyweb.pl. Appaward is an annual polish app contest, divided in two parts: internauts vote, and jury vote.
With the recent release of Android Lollipop SDK, new Material Design became widely available for users and developers. Google re-designed Android layouts with a new “visual language”, that provides a consistent, elegant, and very plausible user experience. It’s achieved through ripple touch feedback, cards, view transition animations, and view's elevation API, which uses shadows to determine view's parent in depth space. Developers were also given great design guidelines for typography (Roboto at it’s best), colour Palettes, spacing, and views usability (like button usage, dialogs, or animating visual feedback) connected with good explanation of users expectation to the overall app usage experience.
Last week was really interesting for our Android team. We hosted the second meeting of Poznan Android Developer Group and participated in DevFest in Krakow.
Latest Meet Magento NYC conference was very special. Sorry, every Meet Magento event is special, this one was special for us. Starting with this event we begun delivering iBeacons technology in real world. Not a prototype anymore, real user experience and fun this time. Indoor proximity systems bring brand new user experience in many fields (events, retail, public space) and we’re proud to be part of it.
Push messaging is one of the most important features of today's apps. It enables server-app communication, based on the broadcast system. The ability to inform the user about upcoming updates, and changes, or simply to engage them more in the app experience, is crucial for successful app development.
