Components
Photo phase is an open source application for android that mainly deals with beautifying phone screen by displaying the subset of photos. this wonderful app has been serving its users well with the exotic features where user can define his own layout, chose preferred frame border, chrome cast support and so on.with all the great features, i still discovered somethings that really need to be put in place to make the app more unique and that's the set up of the app. i hereby give my proposition in my proposals.
Proposal
when you launch photo phase app, the first thing you see is the settings. the launching of the application takes you to the settings straight away before you can now maneuver your way to where your pictures can be located.From setings you click on media then click on ALBUM to show the pictures.i will hereby propose that
.1The landing page should first display the photos( Re-modifying the page) : Launching photo phase should automatically select pictures from the gallery and set it as its landing page.
.2 The pictures should be view able by swiping left/right.
When Album is clicked, it displays all the pictures in list or grid depending on the settings, clicking on any of this pictures will display the larger view. swiping left or right to view subsequent ones will be more preferable because in the current settings, you will have to go back and click on the picture to view. same process to view countless pics.
Mockups / Examples
first page when app is launched and proposed first page
images showing where to swipe to view pictures
Benefits
It will reduce confusion on the part of the users. it will make it more easy for new users Launching
the application for the first time to use it without being frustrated .
viewing of pictures will become easier as one can easily swipe to view the next pics.
It saves time of going back to view pic and it distinguishes the settings from the main page clearly making it more user friendly.
Thanks.
