Factors In Selecting A Mobile Prototyping Tool
 |
Years ago, a kid was trying to fashion a bow by cutting a twig with a knife. Upon seeing this struggle, his grandfather handed him a saw, saying, “Always use the right tool for the job!” As the kid in the story, I learned a valuable lesson in craftsmanship: When you’re picking a tool to solve a problem, there are many good tools, but some are better suited to the task than others!
In recent years, new prototyping tools have emerged, many for mobile design. The landscape is constantly changing, with some tools losing favor with UX designers (or UXers) and others taking their place. While this article will not serve as a complete paint-by-numbers manual for selecting a prototyping tool, we will discuss important factors that influence the selection process.

Two similar values in two pickers with no labels
I have two date fields next to each other on a form in my app.
I am not using labels for any of the fields. Rather I have put a help text inside each of them. When the user taps on a field, native keyboard opens and once he…
How to distinguish between fields with similar values and no labels?

Enabling desired date format for users
I don’t want to force users to use only mm/dd/yyyy format on my website.
My case:
User will be able to choose which date format he prefers on the website ( calendars, tables and so on):
12.30.2016

On a tablet, is it okay for both modal-style windows and full-screen programs to close with different methods?
Imagine you are faced with a tablet-sized screen that is almost-but-not-quite a tablet.
It has a physical keyboard, and there is no on-screen keyboard.
It has a touch screen, but also has a port where you can attach a mous…

Tab based layout or not?
The app I’m designing initially had a tab based layout in its early stage (Android version). Since working on the iPhone version I’ve gone with just using ViewControllers to allow the user to navigate through. In some ways it feels more fluid but it may be confusing to the user.
The app analyses and visualises incoming audio according to different parameter sets (these are the data items). There are two views, the audio analyses view and the data / edit view. There is also a view that lists the different data items, that will allow for online database search and discovery.
The tab based layout had something like:
Visualise | Edit | Search | Settings
The view controller layout has a path like:
Search (click on item) -> Visualise -> Edit
The Visualise view has a right nav button to edit.
I’m more of a programmer than UX designer so wondering if any UX people have some tips on how to make such decisions.
How can I improve this master detail/grouping UI?

Each Work Order has a bunch of fields (not shown). Then …
