Tier 2: Responsive and optimized
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Apps that employ responsive layouts and automatically adapt to different screen
sizes offer additional value to users and provide more productive, engaging user
experiences.
Responsive layouts dynamically format and position elements such as buttons,
text fields, and dialogs for an optimal user experience. Automatically offer
users of your app additional value on larger screens by utilizing responsive
design practices. Whether it's more text visible at a glance, more actions on
screen, or larger, more accessible tap targets, responsive practices provide an
enhanced experience for users of larger screens.
