Android apps are sleek and aesthetically pleasing on multiple levels. 22Transitions are fast and clear; layout and typography are crisp and meaningful. App icons are works 23of art in their own right. Just like a well-made tool, your app should strive to combine beauty, 24simplicity and purpose to create a magical experience that is effortless and powerful.</p> 25 26 </div> 27 <div class="layout-content-col span-5"> 28 29<h4>Simplify my life</h4> 30<p>Android apps make life easier and are easy to understand. When people use your app for the first 31time, they should intuitively grasp the most important features. The design work doesn't stop at the 32first use, though. Android apps remove ongoing chores like file management and syncing. Simple tasks 33never require complex procedures, and complex tasks are tailored to the human hand and mind. People 34of all ages and cultures feel firmly in control, and are never overwhelmed by too many choices or 35irrelevant flash.</p> 36 37 </div> 38 <div class="layout-content-col span-4"> 39 40<h4>Make me amazing</h4> 41<p>It's not enough to make an app that is easy to use. Android apps empower people to try new things 42and to use apps in inventive new ways. Android lets people combine applications into new workflows 43through multitasking, notifications, and sharing across apps. At the same time, your app should feel 44personal, giving people access to superb technology with clarity and grace.</p> 45 46 </div> 47</div> 48
