An App-Filled New Year


By Amy Vale

From all of us at Mocean Mobile, Happy New Year! We hope the next twelve months bring you clarity about what matters in life (and business) and strengthen the relationships in your life. Because most of us on the team are unabashed app lovers and depend on them for just about every type of activity, I wanted to highlight some apps that are doing things right (and can offer lessons to developers when building their own apps).

StockTouch
One of the tougher parts of app design , especially for apps that aren’t games or entertainment-related, is simplifying and packaging huge amounts of complicated data so that it’s still beautiful and easy to digest. The StockTouch app lets users seamlessly watch the stock market as it unfolds and uncover insights and trends on companies and sectors. Tapping on a specific stock brings up detailed – but digestible – charts and information.

Just Landed
The Just Landed app helps track inbound flights and plan routes to reduce the complications and stress of airport pickups. For apps like Just Landed with a heavier text-to-image ratio, it’s important that the app has a simple interface and is beautifully designed. That means having clear, crisp and readable typography. Just as with so many other things in life, less is more. Don’t go overboard with using specialty or overly complex fonts, especially when the text is what really matters to users. In this instance, Just Landed helps

Code Year
For those of us who are techies and proud, the Code Year app teaches you coding skills that’ll make you a sought-after programmer. The free app offers lessons each week and covers topics like Ruby, Python and Javascript.
