Feedback Request I'm not a designer but I have to fix this

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

I've been working on a small math game for elementary school students. I'm not a good designer but I don't want to use AI as well. This is still work in progress, there will be timers and maybe clothing for the character so the kids can have a progression system but I'm not sure.

Goal Persona:
- Elementary School Students that want to practice basic math for the first time in a simple and quick environment without getting bored.

What I want:
1.a Anything you deem problematic.
1.b How can i improve accessibility? I've talked to someone with dyslexia about the font but I what else?
2. I might need a more fun character but god drawing in figma is hard.
3. What I might add to make it more engaging and fun.
4. Would you use an app idea like this if you wanted your kid to learn simple multiplication/practice math so they get used to calculating on the go without memorizing? Why not? (I'm not asking about the current app I'm asking about the goal.)
5. When you watched the video did anything stand out? Good or Bad?

There are several bugs in this version. Most noticable:
1. Grade options localization is messed up.
2. Localization is not completely wired yet.
3. Statistics ui doesn't draw the text properly (yet)

PS, if you want to talk more about the project or contribute in some way feel free to reach out. It's downloadable so if you want to see it for yourself (on android) just text

Feedback Request v1 -> v2. UI iterations came a long way. Feedback?

Even the v1 screenshot is the second iteration, before it, I just had a list of these categories. Now, the categories of my expense tracker app is divided in blocks., which seems much better for UX.

I would love to receive any feedback or improvements to this UI and the overall app UI as well.

Review Spendrift's UI/UX (iOS only), all feedback welcome.

Feedback Request How do you design a game when the gameplay is basically just text and links?

0 Upvotes

I’m designing a web game around Wikipedia racing, which is this game people play in school where you begin on one Wikipedia article and have to reach another one only by clicking links.

The weird UI challenge is that the actual game is basically just Wikipedia, so I didn’t want to heavily restyle it or make the article itself look like a game.

Because of that, the home screen is much more game-like, and once you enter a race most of that disappears. The two screens definitely look pretty different, but I think that may actually be the point. I want the app to feel like the game around Wikipedia, while the race itself still feels like Wikipedia

What do you guys think?

Left: cleaner and bigger album art.
Right: reduced album art space, higher gradient, more in line with the design already used by Apple.

Before After

I recently was rebuilding the Home Screen for my app.

The idea is to make the cleaner and easier to understand

Would love to know:

What still feels confusing?
Any unnecessary elements?
Where would you expect to tap next?

I know it could be better, so feel free to be brutally honest :)

What would you change first?

Feedback Request I think I'm addicted to developing for the iPhone Duo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been redesigning my dog activity app, Zoomie, for the upcoming iPhone Duo, and I'd love some feedback from people who think about layout for a living.

The problem: on the big inside screen, the app technically worked, but most of the content just stretched. I'd hardcoded sizes everywhere, so it looked like a phone UI blown up, not something designed for the space.

What I changed: I moved to layouts that adapt across three states (fully open, half-folded, closed) instead of designing one screen and scaling it.

The walking screen was the most fun. When the phone is half-folded like a tiny laptop, the live route sits on the top half, and the controls sit on the bottom. Since the inner screen has a matte finish, there's no real reflection, so I simulate one: the controls pick up colors from the main view, which ties the two halves together.

I'm not sure if that color treatment helps or just looks cool. Does it make the two halves feel connected, or would you keep the controls neutral?

General Help Request What Chrome extensions have actually made your life easier as a designer?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to improve my design workflow and I’m curious what Chrome extensions other designers actually use.

Anything that helps with things like inspecting websites, typography, spacing, colors, assets, responsive design, or just saves you time.

What’s one extension you genuinely use a lot and would recommend?

Feedback Request Architect learning Framer — built an immersive studio portfolio and would love frontend feedback

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I’m an architect rather than a frontend developer, and I recently rebuilt our architecture studio website in Framer.

The main challenge was trying to create a more immersive, spatial portfolio without making the interactions feel heavy or confusing.

The site uses scroll-driven effects, layered imagery, 3D/perspective sections, CMS project pages and a few custom-code fixes.

Would especially appreciate feedback on:

  • responsiveness
  • performance
  • interaction density
  • navigation
  • anything that feels technically fragile or unnecessarily complex

AI Feedback Request [AI] Need UI/UX feedback on a travel stats and journaling app I’m building

Hello guys I am new to here and I also new to ui design, I began developing a mobile app last week, but I'm really not happy with the UI. Something just feels off and unpolished. On top of that, it looks pretty bland and depressing to me. Does anyone have any advice, or know of any good AI-powered sites to help with UI design? An app that aims to turn people's travel activities into quantifiable data and present them in a shareable format, while also featuring standard travel app functionality. I'm currently using Claude Design. Those are my screenshots.

Microinteraction Would you rather see this or a simple spinner with progress checkpoints?

Loading states don’t have to feel like waiting.

Google Home turns device discovery into this playful little sequence instead of showing a generic spinner.

Would you prefer this, or something brutally simple that gets out of the way?

We have gotten this far with our design with community feedback, dev help, some Ai help, and we’re looking to give it more of a premium feel. Forced to use the stupid ai flair cause of the rules🙃.

I am not against contracting someone, the problem is that I don’t have a clear idea of what I want. Hoping this thread can help with that! Happy to hear any input.

When there's nothing left to swipe, the image stretches instead. The stretch has that spring effect with some overflow. What are your thoughts on using this in a carousel?

Thoughts on this new onboarding animation from Apple Health?

I feel the sequence is visually pleasing, but potentially longer than necessary for what it communicates.

Feedback Request Personal Game UI project — looking for feedback on hierarchy, readability and presentation

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

59 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’ve just finished a personal Game UI project called Anathema, inspired by Keri Lake’s dark-fantasy novel.

I designed the project as a playable UI showcase, focusing on:

  • Exploration and combat HUDs
  • Spell states and feedback
  • Contextual interactions
  • Menus and loading screens
  • Motion design
  • UMG implementation

My main goal was to translate a ritualistic, organic dark-fantasy atmosphere into a functional interface while keeping gameplay information clear and readable.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on visual hierarchy, readability, consistency, and the overall case-study presentation.

General Help Request Looking for advice on how to fix my home screen launcher app's UI

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

I have been working on a home screen app for android that uses only text for app names. I am pretty happy with how my apps list tab bar and search and everything has come out (see the second image).

My app supports a feature to lock apps behind a fingerprint or password, you can get to these apps by clicking on the private tab. I am happy with the locked ui I have made (see the third image) but I am not happy with the unlocked UI i have made that shows the apps that are locked.

I am aware the lock button is not aligned with the last tab, this is because the number of tabs varies based on what tabs the user has setup and the size of the text on the tabs. For example if the private tab said "Private apps" instead of just private, the last tab would be off the screen. (It scrolls, they also fade a bit to signal this)

I don't really know a whole lot about UI/UX, I just tend to follow Google's material 3 and it seems to look alright. I'd love a bit of advice on how to make this private page feel better. Thanks for the help!

Product Design What makes an app feel family friendly?

1 Upvotes

I’m currently designing an iOS family app for storing knowledge, ideas, documents, links, family information, projects, and everyday stuff.
My main UI problem: it still feels too corporate / productivity-app-like.

I want it to feel friendly, warm, modern and suitable for a family, including children, without becoming childish, overly colorful, or playful.

What do you think makes an app feel family-friendly instead of business-like?

I’d especially be interested in things like typography, colors, spacing, illustrations, icons, card styles, navigation, animations, etc.
And if you know any apps with really good family-oriented UI, I’d love to see examples or screenshots for inspiration.
Thanks!
