In this chapter, we leveraged several key concepts in the Xamarin.Forms API to help improve the look, feel, and user experience of our TripLog app. With the use of a custom renderer, we are now able to tap directly into the platform-specific APIs to change the default behavior of Xamarin.Forms controls and, with the use of value converters, we are now able to alter the appearance of data when it is bound to the user interface. Finally, the Xamarin.Forms accessibility APIs give us the ability to make our app more straightforward for users who rely on accessibility features to use their mobile apps.
In the next chapter, we will connect the TripLog app to an API in order to work with live data.
