Several UI improvement suggestions (Android)
Posted: 02/12/2015
I like Fongo App on Android and what it can do and I have several improvement suggestions with regard to the UI of the app (Version 3.7.1.13).
Suggestion(1): Get rid of "News Feed". Use popup window that tells users there's new version of the app.
Suggestion(2): Change "Dialpad" to "Phone" and integrate that with "History" and "Voicemail". Show notification for voicemail.
Suggestion(3): Integrate "Account" menu items ("Settings" etc.) with left-side menu items (e.g. "Add-ons" are duplicate, it's not clear what's the difference between "Logout" and "Exit", etc.).
Suggestion(4): Add capability to block *all* phone calls except for those from the list of selected people (white-listing).
Suggestion(5): Change "Add-ons" to "Buy Add-ons" and show the price in the very first page next to the "Buy" button.
Suggestion(6): Most items in the "Troubleshooting" in "Settings" should be integrated to "Make a Test Call"-wizard with Q&A.
In general the most popular messaging apps (WhatsApp, Hangouts, etc) tend to do a good job with regard to UI and I want Fongo to learn from what they excel at (simple, uncluttered UI, smooth animation effects in messages, etc).
What do you think?
