Two UI Breakdowns of the week
This week's chosen workflows are from "Apple Books":
Change Reading Settings
Sharing a Note/Highlight
Breakdown #1
Changing and customising layouts to read better is a in-depth experience on Apple Books. The choices though are found only if one has a keen eye and is interested in customising the reading experience.
See a quick audit below ⤵
Breakdown #2
Sharing is available only when the user actually digs a bit deeper. This makes the Books looks like a closed off platform and does not allow for quick sharing access. Unfortunately, customisation of share options is also limited to just stock apps.
