curves allows you to generate a banner on stage and share it with friends on Facebook, Twitter , WhatsApp, etc. (you can also save the image to your photo roll and share it at will). The app provides several separate banners, so you can also write quite long sentences (up to 30 characters in the first half and 35 in the second).

The version 2.0 brings many innovations.

First there was an important job to be on the User Interface, both on the User Experience. In particular, several things have changed in the first view, where you write the lyrics of the banners, using the textfield larger and clearer for a more prominent position.

In addition, the keys for selecting the curve and color are much more large. The choice curve has been changed, always recalling the style of choice team of classic football games. Swipe or tap the arrow to change the league, same thing to change teams. Have added several curves (Empoli, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Espanyol, Valencia, Bayern Monaco, Borussia Dortmund, PSG, América MEX, Boca Juniors, Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Flamengo, Internacional , Jaguares, Palmeiras, River Plate, Santos, Sao Paulo, Tigres, Tijuana, Toluca) and now you can use the swipe even starting from the side edges of the smartphone (before you had to do it necessarily on the curve). In addition to select the curve, you can either press the “confirm” button, and press on the curve. Already in this view you can see another big change is the inclusion of the Navigation Bar. Users are used to that type of navigation because it is present in all apps.

As for the choice of color there was only the ‘added the button “Close”. Many people believed the annoying having to re-choose to force the color, once you press the button of the color choice.

Going in view of the result, we can immediately see the small changes. Since we changed the background of all views of the application, was added a small opaque layer behind the label of social buttons, just to make them more readable. E ‘changed the font is now the predominant Raleway, and to make the app cleaner was taken off the Credits button to add it in the top right navigation mentioned earlier (and here it is noted particularly for the button ” back “standard iOS).

The main changes from the point of view of the experience of use and 2 are both concerned with the selection curve.

Let’s assume that I, a fan of ‘ Inter, I create mainly banners of this team. I write the text of the banner, I’m going to draw the curve of Inter, I choose the color and I create, then I close the ‘app. 3 days after I want to make a new banner, I open the ‘app and find the curve of my team already selected. Before I had to go to reselect it.

If you want to select the curve of Inter, but I was wrong and I have selected Milan, just a tap on the button of choice curve and charge me the view starting from Milan. At that point I just one swipe and got my curve of Liverpool. In previous versions would be shared dall’Atalanta.

Another small change was made on the watermark. “ Banner created with the app sags ” was quite intrusive, so developers have opted for a more discreet watermark with the simple inscription “sags” black white background.

sags is available for iPhone and iPod Touch for free on the App Store.
