Smashing Magazine (Things  to think about designing an ipad app

Here I am getting ideas and tips for my iPad app. Now that I have a visual idea of my app, I need to think about how to make the interactive elements work. I want to keep it simple to use and clear at the same time.

• Take A Goal-Oriented Approach To Simplify Functionality.
• Leverage What You Know To Create A Fully Personalized Experience.
• Think About The Place Of Use.
• Consider Multi-User And Multi-Device Cases.
• Don’t Do Crazy Navigation Unless It’s A Game Or One-Hit Wonder.
• Provide A Home Page.
• Beware Of Awkward Pop-Overs.
• Avoid Gratuitous Splash Screens.
• Use Gestures In Clever Ways, But Don’t Overdo It.
• Make Clear What’s Touchable, And Make It BIG.
