Designing Graceful, Gracious Interfaces for iPad

Surprisingly, Omnifocus is one of my favourite apps on the iPad. It’s so useful on the desktop and on the iPhone it was pretty much a given that I would buy the iPad version too. The surprise is how much of a pleasure it is to use. After watching this video and seeing how much thought has gone into the Omnigroup’s apps I’m no longer surprised.

Incidentally, another of my favourite apps is a French dictionary called Antidote Ardoise. You can use their iPhone dictionary on your iPad which does what all the other dictionary apps I’ve seen in any language do: Pretty much just fill up the rest of the space as though it was a big iPhone. Their ‘Ardoise’ (tablet) version re-imagines what is possible and rethinks the layout completely. Again, it’s another app that’s a pleasure to use.
