Screen views

Before you lay out your screens, think about the type of app that you're designing and the type of content that you're providing.

You can lay out your app in a variety of ways. Choose the view that makes sense for your app, using the following views as inspiration:

List

Lets you give an overview of content that users can sort and filter, such as contacts or messages.

Grid

Lets you display content in a more visually appealing way by putting images in rows and columns.

Free-form

Lets users navigate a large canvas of information, such as a map, a game, or an image.
