That flip animation is really annoying. It doesn't make any sense either; you fold your active page mid-page to progress? Wouldn't that just fold half of the page and reveal another half of the underlying page, were it real? It uses the metaphor of a book with two pages - one on both sides - for a single-page layout.
I don't get it, but maybe testing showed that people liked it?
- fredoliveira 16y agoI'm quite sure there was no real testing here (heck, there isn't in most other apps anyway). I quickly showed this to the guys in the office and everyone found the animation to be weird and confusing. Some tried to flip the other side of the screen to see if it would reveal anything else. I guess they were trying to justify their name and logo.
