Introduction

Our application interface is not confined to the various views that take up real estate once the user is inside our application. Notifications, location management, and audio cues inside our application also take up an integral role both inside and outside of our work.

Furthermore, text clarity on messages, using badges to notify uses of content change, and location specific displays can help separate a best seller from the rest of the pack.

In this chapter, we'll discuss the inclusion of notifications, the fine sounds of background audio, location clarification, and much more.
