Comparing Lifestyle Apps. 

During my research, i have been looking at a series of mobile apps.  I have chosen 3 out of many, and I’m going to evaluate the pros and cons of each app. 

Howl

What is it?: howl is an app that you and your pack (friends) would all have, it is all connected through phone contacts.  A pack leader will check into a venue with the click of a button, and it will send out a notification to the rest of the pack. The Pack will either slide left, or right if they will be attending on the night out.  Kind of like a tinder style night out app

Interface: the interface for howl is big and bold.  dark colours with big bright colours. the app looks smart and sleek, and more cool instead of happy and funky.

Likes: great interface, concept and it works well. 

dislikes: i can imagine it can get annoying with all the notifications. 

8/10

Oxjam

What is it?: oxjam is an event throughout the uk where small bands play in small venues for the oxfam charity. the app is an events guide to where it is showing and what time 

interface:  the interface is simple. but not in a good way simple. the colours are boring and it doesn’t look smart. the buttons are skewed and it looks unprofessional. but it is very. very easy to navigate

likes: really easy to navigate and does the job properly

dislikes: looks unprofessional and cuts out sometimes 

4/10

City Mapper

What is it?: city mapper is a real time transportation app around big city’s such as London and New York. it supports real-time date on buses tubes, cycles and rail. 

interface: the interface for city mapper is really nice. it runs really smoothly and the contrast of colours isn’t too harsh on the eye. it has cute little symbols and is very idiot-proof too.

likes: city mapper is a very well designed app, and if it where in manchester it would be very helpful for me! 

dislikes: it does’t include manchester.
