Learning by doing !!!!

One of the biggest problems with apps is that if they have more than a few features they may not be very easy to learn.

With most apps, if you get any instructions at all it’s usually one or two screens when you first launch the app that give an essential hint about how the thing works. But it’s often difficult or impossible to find them again to read later.

And if help exists at all (and you can find it), it’s often one short page of text or a link to the developer’s site with no help to be found or a customer support page that gives you the email address where you can send your questions.

This can work for apps that are only doing a very few things, but as soon as you try to create something that has a lot of functionality—and particularly any functions that don’t follow familiar conventions or interface guidelines-it’s often not enough.
