Designing Android App user experience:
How do you design for what’s fast becoming the world’s dominant mobile OS? What iPhone best practices translate and what don’t?
Topic:
Android is overtaking iOS for global penetration (80% of smartphones) and already leads market share (53% Sept 2013) in the mobile space. If you are designing an Android app user experience, you need to compete with the simplicity and trust generated by many iOS apps.
