Apple provides an extensive library of user interface elements that you can use in your own apps. This helps to give all iOS apps a consistent look and feel. As you can see, the Add New Journal Entry screen has the following elements:

• A custom view showing star ratings
• A switch that allows you to get your current location
• A text field for the journal entry title
• A text view for the journal entry body
• An image view for a photo that you will take with your phone’s camera
