Designing apps that don't need tutorials
User interfaces should be intuitive. Here is our design philosophy.
At Coding Pursuit Labs, one of our core tenets is that a good app doesn't need a tutorial. If you have to explain to a user how to use a core feature of your application, the design has failed.
We focus heavily on progressive disclosure. By keeping the initial interface extremely minimal and only revealing complexity when requested, we achieve a much higher user retention rate. We use familiar Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) paradigms so users feel instantly at home.
