Vote for birthdate dialog button placement for Chinese horoscope

Posted by Max on Mar 20, 2010 in DailyHoroscope | View Comments

We are adding the date selection tool to our mobile daily horoscope application on Android — DailyHoroscope, so that people who are not sure what animal in Chinese astrology corresponds to their birth date could easily enter their birth date and we will calculate their corresponding animal sign. To bring up the date selection dialog that looks like this (this is the smaller screen – QVGA device which has the least real estate and thus is the most problematic from user experience point of view)

You would click on the small question mark sign which we want to put either on top or bottom right corner of the screen.

It will look as follows (click on images to see full size) :

Birth Date selection icon on top

HVGA

QVGA

Or as follows (click on images to see full size):

Birth Date selection icon on bottom

HVGA

QVGA

    Bottom. And I like the green artwork. Beautiful Makes look different than DailyHoroscope. I want he artwork so I can have as a tattoo! Who did it? Where can I print it out??


  • Hi, Darla

    The different colors are available on Android and should be coming to the iPhone as well. Regarding the artwork, you have sent us an email and we will respond you there.

    i think putting the icon on the bottom is better. because you might only use that button once or twice. so if it is on the bottom you it wont bother you as much. when i saw the pictures of the icon on the top, the icon is what jumped in my face more than the other icons even if it is just int he corner and gray. i think if it is in the bottom corner it will be better since it isnt something that will be used often. Please hurry up with the iphone app, because ive been waiting for it anxiously since the day it was announced. Thank you
  • Hey, Kenny
    Thanks for your input!

    Just wondering where did you hear about DailyHoroscope coming to iPhone? Is it form this site?

    I am afraid I might slightly disappoint you. The good news are that the iPhone version is already under the review process. The bad news are - it is not as feature reach as Android's version. But we will keep working on bringing it to the same level of Android.

    I think that putting such icons on the top is better. It is much more visible. There is no chance that the icon will be blocked from view by the hand of the holder of the phone.
