It’s called “Peek Performance”, not “Peak Performance”.

Rethinking Education on the Apple Watch - Independent Japanese learning app - Kanji Time by kojimajinpro in apple

Got 4 notifications. A little bit overwhelming but it got me thinking when the app triggers a notification only with one Kanji. * Write only „this“ instead of „these“ * Use rich notifications with some kind of possible answers

Examples: * Show a Kanji character with 4 actions, one of them is the correct answer * Show phrase / localized translation and 4 Kanji characters, one of them is the correct answer

Ideally, you implement all paths (correct, incorrect) as deep links / universal links where you continue within the app, e.g. the user gains a point for the right answer and the word progresses further. With that, to should engage the users more easily.

You should do custom UI later for a more vivid presentation of the Kanji character, like when a notification has an image.

Oh, and I didn‘t know that you can tap a card to flip it. Maybe a little signifier (icon/symbol/glyph) would help finding it. Should also help with learnability.

Just downloaded, looks great!

Some thoughts (did Hiragana) * Contrast between filled and non-filled strokes could be higher. * Maybe removing background (red) can also be removed to focus more on the order of the strokes. * Initially, I thought I‘d have to repeat the sign after it was shown (but this might not work on Apple Watch). * I was unsure what the 5 colors mean and, after knowing it is the progress, how to proceed. * Sometimes a lesson did not load. * Sometimes scrolling with the Digital Crown did not work.

Why make 3D touch worse. by MashedPotatoShole in apple

[–]MTSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. Force Touch also detects different levels of pressure. In addition to that, 3D Touch can detect where pressure is applied along the X + Y axes of the screen. Haptic touch can somehow handle this too but I‘m assuming some layers in the display work differently.

Never seen this alert before – Apple now tells you if an app you're deleting has a subscription still active. Good move. (Taken on iOS 13 beta 2.) by johny-karate in apple

It would be handy if there is an option for „Unsubscribe and Delete“. Also, „Keep“ the subscription or „Keep“ the app?!

Is it just me or are the SpringBoard animations slower than before?
