Daily UX Sketches
These are all notes from my notebooks, in no particular order.
In the last years I collected many sketches and notes, but you know how it goes, you start sketching something quickly just to take a note on a solution you have in mind, and after some months you sketch it again because you forgot that you actually already did. :)

IOS GUIDELINES
This was the first time I was designing an app. So, I took some notes on the iOS design guidelines.
Focus on the needs of 80% of your users
Get as much info as possible from other sources
Delay a login requirement for as long as possible
Onboarding is not a substitute for good app design
Give users only the info they need to get started
Use animation & interactivity to engage users
Make it easy to dismiss or skip the onboarding UX
1 - BENEFIT ORIENTED
What does the app do?
How can user integrate this into their life?
What value will this integration provide?
Present max 3 key benefits on-the-slide, one concept, prioritize, use consistent vocabulary, onboard before registration, keep it brief —> focus on the absolute essential.
2 - FUNCTION ORIENTED
What is the key functionality?
When to use this functionality?
How to user this functionality?
Don’t explain the obvious 3 functionalities. Help the users get started.
3 - PROGRESSIVE ONBOARDING
Most popular, people learn by trying.
Save for complex workflows, user for hidden functionality, ideal for gesture driven-apps.
PUSH AND MARKETING NOTIFICATIONS
“We need permission for GPS!” “But we also have to send push notifications!” “We ABSOLUTELY need it!” and it ends with 5 super annoying pop-ups one after the other, and those users never opening your app again.
Imho, we should have divided the flow in 2 moments (Solution 2).
