Design – 1 Toss

on By

1 Toss is a simple tap to Toss app for iPhone and Apple Watch. It offers coins from different countries. This app comes as handy when you need to toss and make tough decisions. 😉

It currently has 1 Rupee coin of India, 1 Dollar of United States and 1 Pound of United Kingdom coins to flip. More from different countries will be added in future.

I thought it would be good to share my design drafts of this app. Before we see the designs, take a look at the app from App Store and download it on your iPhone and Apple Watch.

Designing icons for this app was fun. I came up with different ideas that resembles a coin with heads and tails. Here’s all the draft designs that I created for this app. 

Tried to draft a coin that resemble a currency with heads and tails.

I hope you all like the final design on the bottom right. Did the icon communicate the purpose of the app ? let me know in comments.

Design – Finish App

on By 1 Comment

Design process involves a lot of creative and critical thinking ;). I have no degree or an expert in Graphic design. However, with the observations and references to many user interfaces, I have developed a sense of design myself.

My first iOS app – Finish required me to create so many drafts.

Be it right or wrong, good or bad, I thought it would be interesting to share those. 

With that above scenario as a problem statement, I decided to create an interface that takes only a few taps to choose a date, month and an year (and to make the world a better place 😉 ).

Here are a few of my works that I drafted for the app.

Finish App

on By

From Year 2015: 

We have finally completed the reminder app. It is called Finish. We published it for free. It neither has ads nor In-App purchases.

It is now available on iOS App Store.

About the app:

Finish is a simple reminder app which has very minimal but required features. There are tons of To-do and reminder apps in the market, but this one focuses on a simple todo list with lovely interface. We wanted it to be easy to set a reminder date and time. Other apps would take multiple scrolls and swipes to choose a future month and year. This one requires only a few taps to choose any month of any year.

We have referred many user interfaces and worked on several designs to reach this point. Here’s a screenshot of app.

 

I hope someone from one corner of the world will like this app.

It feels good to finish something.
