When the Android tablet guidelines + came out in 2012, the team at Remember The Milk had already been thinking about + a redesign for their feature-packed + to-do list app. Omar Kilani, Co-founder of Remember The Milk, explains how + updating + their app to meet the tablet guidelines lead to an 83% jump in tablet installs:
+ +“We took this as an opportunity to think about how we were going to approach + Android tablets differently from a user experience perspective. The guidelines + were a helpful resource, and with the extra screen real estate tablets afford, + users have the opportunity to see all of their data in context and drill down + on more items. All of this is accomplished using a single APK on Play, even though + the phone and tablet versions each capture completely different use cases for us.”
+ +“In the month after updating, we saw our tablet installs on Google Play jump 83%, + and the Nexus 7 is now the most popular Android device amongst our users. For us, + designing for tablets was an investment that has really paid off.”
+ +The team also came out with a number of other goodies — including a new set of + widgets and richer notifications, and more ways to provide an immersive experience + for their users.
