The Tab Bar & Icon Research
I began researching how different apps display their tab bars and also the different style of icons theyâve used to represent similar menus. I looked at:
Headspace
Blinkist
Bookly
Depop
Fitbit
My Fitness Pal
Monzo
Spotify
What do they all have in common?
They all use outline icons that they get filled when the user selects on the icon.
They range from having three icons to five icons. Some of the ones with 5 icons, tend to make the middle icon the most prominent feature for users. This is something I could include on my own app - Bookmark. As the search icon will be in the centre of my 5 icons, so it would be good to draw the users attention to this section.
My favourite style out of all of the navbars above would have to be the first one - Headspace. As the icon styles are still outlines but thicker lines, which makes the icon look a lot more visually appealing. The bottom nav bar is also something I could try to implement into my app - having a coloured icon instead of an outline one. As a coloured icon is still quite basic, but itâs more detailed than just an outline. It would change to a different colour which the user clicks on it.
Mental health apps
Iâm currently doing a lot of research into mental health apps. I think apps are a seriously underutilised medium of helping people cope with their mental health.Â
Iâve personally used a couple of mental health apps, or apps that promote mindfulness. One that Iâve used is the app called âIn Handâ. In Hand is a mobile app co-produced by young people working with an arts organisation, digital agency, and NHS mental health service. The app was launched in May 2014, is free to use, has almost 6000 downloads, and 22,000 user sessions by the end of October 2014.Â
The In Hand app helps you to take your mind off of your current stressors and to focus on things that might make you feel a bit better- like positive distraction techniques.Â
I think apps are really cool and could help lots of people. Do you know of any apps that have helped you or your friends?Â
