It is important for all social media apps to have notifications and also for the notifications icon to be related with the received notification. Lets take instagram for instance. Whenever data is turned on, and notifications drops in, all received notifications will be displayed at the notification tools bar with its icon beside it according to their category!!!!
Although the esteem App possesses the aforementioned characteristic, it is not designed properly....
(see image below)
From the above image, we can see that when a notification was received, and the notification bar was drawn down to view notifications, all notifications has their own icon beside it except the follow notification which didn't tally with it. We can see that the comment has its own notification icon, the upvote has its own icon, only the follow notification has 'X'as it's icon.
***SUGGESTION***
with the good idea that the esteem App came up with of displaying their icon accordingly and that it tallies, I was able to create a better view and how it should look like...............
(See image below)
From the above image, we can see that the esteem App has a good icon representing.
The comment, upvote and follow has a good notification icon which can tell her users that they are having new followers, new updates and new comments.........
(see image below)
From the image above, the notification was viewed. Now we can see that it's more advanced than how it looked initially......
The esteem App has its own icon, and the follow notification that has 'X' as its icon, now have a good icon that tallies with it!!!
***CONCLUSION***
Now from the above suggestion, the esteem App has its notification and it's icon beside it.
Also the esteem icon is well displayed.
The follow icon is displayed properly instead of its initial icon (X)
The esteem App looks professional whenever there is notifications .
Users will enjoy the new look better than how it used to be!!!!!!
I hope my suggestion is considered and take the esteem App to a more better look........
Thanks.......
