iOS Work Aids App

My first mobile app, designed from scratch and coded, tested, and distributed internally, with the post-design development done in coordination with a different programming team than the one I work with for web app development.  Some features:
  • Detailed profile with live updates and hooks into other system functions (this piece of the app is what's shown in the image set below).
  • Media capture and uploading to user file repository (and, optionally, local saving).
  • Hooks into the company's web app [overview post forthcoming, see also here, here, and here].
  • A catalog of other software tools.
  • Inline help/documentation.
It would actually be fitting to call this my third or fourth mobile app, since the package has gone through several major revisions since mid-2011.  Screen mockups from earlier versions are available after the break, starting with the version that was limited to providing an automated on site/off site status indicator and basic company directory info.  (Copyright disclaimer is also after the break.)



Further revisions are in the works, so I'll either add a post or update this one as those materialize.  Note that Novatek holds the copyright for all images in this post, and the images are intentionally small, so as not to reveal any proprietary information.  One exception is the app icon, which is posted at full retina-display resolution above.
