CNN reports on research findings, co-authored by useability design guru Jakob Nielsen, from the Nielsen Norman Group (NNG) that provides developers specific recommendations for developing more useable iPad apps.
Research shows ways to make iPad apps more user-friendly
NNG’s research touches on both website design and iPad app design. They make particularly good points that a native iPad app should not make users work more in the app than an existing website and that the app should not provide less information than the website.
The main findings are:
– Make touchable areas big enough to be easy to find and actually touch
– Make app and website navigation options easy to find and obvious to use
– Typing on the iPad’s virtual keyboard is difficult for many people.
