10 Hottest iOS Trends: Look and Feel

It’s been a while since our last post about iOS trends, so it’s time to check out the coolest looks for Apple’s system. In that occasion, we’ve only curated Objective-C libraries. In this post, however, we’ll also spend some time looking for Swift goodness too. Without further ado, let’s see our ten picks for the hottest libraries for iOS:

robb/hamburger-button

This is a hamburger-form button, that transits to an X button with a very fluid animation made in Swift. The creator is Robert Böhnke, an iOS freelance dev based in Berlin.

 

boztalay/BOZPongRefreshControl

687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f636468376556452e676966

It’s a fun pull-to-refresh control that emulates a Pong match! Originally part of the MHacks III hackathon, it’s now an open-source library from Ben Oztalay, a dev from Michigan.

 

richzertuche/ZMaterialDesignUIButton

It’s a gorgeous UIButton made with Swift, inspired by Google’s Material Design. It was made by a Mexican engineer, Ricardo Zertuche.

 

Ramotion/animated-tab-bar

modocache/MDCSwipeToChoose

This functionality was popularized with Tinder and devs all around struggle to recreate it. This very good attempt is from Brian Gesiak, who lives in New York.

 

IFTTT/JazzHands

68747470733a2f2f7261772e6769746875622e636f6d2f49465454542f4a617a7a48616e64732f73637265656e73686f74732f73637265656e73686f74732f696e74726f2e676966

Another library of success, implemented in the “IF by IFTTT” app, JazzHands is perfect for scrolling app intros. It’s an invention of IFTTT, also from San Francisco.

 

inFullMobile/WobbleView

The wobble effect is pretty trendy these days. The guys at inFullMobile, a Polish app developer company, made this great library.

 

Yalantis/FoldingTabBar.iOS

68747470733a2f2f6431337961637572716a676172612e636c6f756466726f6e742e6e65742f75736572732f3439353739322f73637265656e73686f74732f323030333337362f7461625f6261725f616e696d6174696f6e5f66696e2d30322e676966

And we’ve got another one from Yalantis. This Ukrainian company makes awesome designs and this folding tab bar animation is no different.


It’s not enough to only prioritize performance. Speed is good, but user experience is essential. We’re looking forward to see those functionalities in your projects, increasing the quality of your application! And, if you need a talented team to get your ideas out of the paper, give us a shout! We’re sure to give you some insights and, hopefully, help you achieve your goals in the mobile market.
