The Android 4 Opportunity

http://play.google.com/USAA

USAA is the bank that started it all — the first mobile banking application, the first remote check deposit, the first quick login. To add to this impressive legacy, USAA is also one of the most complex mobile financial apps on the market, featuring everything from insurance to stock trading, even a rental car locator! We are proud to help the USAA team to transition their existing experience to the new Android 4.x OS to provide the best experience for our Armed Forces. And in addition to providing the intensive team training and the design guidelines document, we are SUPER-excited to help USAA take on the challenge of using the new Android platform as a strategic opportunity to redesign their flagship flows.

Pure Android

Taking full advantage of Android 4.x involves changes that are more than skin deep — like removing “>” (carets) and rounded corners. Changes to app’s information architecture, layout, and navigation are a key to adhering to the new Android design guidelines while providing a great experience untouched by competition.
