It was incredibly rewarding to hear from my participants that this was a real problem they had, and the designed solution was a feature they wished would be implemented in the future. I decided to do concept testing during my usability tests to get feedback on them, as I could iterate quickly for round 2 testing based on what users found more intuitive.ġ) Solving small problems can have big implications I had two concepts outlined for the placement of the outgoing translation icon, as shown in these wireframes.
I knew I needed to test out my concept to see if users found the interaction intuitive. Strangely enough, testing out multiple competitor apps showed that this pattern does not exist in them! I went with a design that nests word selection within the main thumb menu, referencing a pattern used in Kindle. I immediately took time to study up on HIG so I had a better understanding of how to design and apply consistent patterns for iOS.Īnother challenge was designing the interaction for selecting and highlighting a specific word within a text message. In my sketches I drew a pop-up translator familiar to Android dialogs, only to realize that such designs are generally avoided in Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.
This project focused on designing for iOS based on target user demographics from my surveys. An unexpected limitation was understanding consistent UI for iOS.
