APP PLATFORMS
APP PLATFORMS
Flowbit supports design, development, and delivery of applications on the two leading mobile platforms — Apple iOS and Google Android. Flowbit utilizes native development SDKs, tools, and Integrated Development Environment (IDEs) provided by iOS and Android platforms.
Android Studio
______
Android Studio is based on IntelliJ IDE and provides amazing support to developers with refactoring features and testing tools. It also has great design layout editors and supports asset generation using Google's Material Design System. Android Studio features a robust static analysis tool providing us active guidance to code the best way possible.
Xcode
______
Xcode provides a user interface editor that enables prototyping in minutes, with live previews — allowing us to quickly design and test the UI. Xcode supports XCTest Framework, continuous integration, and static analysis as well. Xcode provides great support for the modern Swift Language, as well as classics like C/C++ and ObjectiveC.

USER EXPERIENCE/USER INTERFACE
VISUAL DESIGN
Flowbit designs apps with standard iOS and Android visual design and interaction patterns in mind — for a consistent and intuitive user experience. We strongly recommend layering your company brand guidelines within the Human Interface Guidelines for iOS and Material Design Guidelines for Android.VISUAL DESIGN
FLOWBIT® also conducts its own evaluative research and analysis. In order to detect, remove, or mitigate any usability issues before a product is fully developed, we employ formative usability testing. To fully evaluate the design against the goals of our users, we employ summative usability testing. Both of these evaluative research and analysis activities help us assess whether the UX/UI design elements are working, and identify the best ways to improve design.
