Graal App Updated Features Concept Video
 

So, I was checking out ideas for improvements to the actual interface of the Graal app, and decided to make a concept video of the update in action. After posting it on Facebook, someone suggested I post the link here too, so here it is:

Summary of concept features:

Push Notifications
Option to receive notifications whenever you are sent an offline message, your guild takes/loses a fort, or your upload is completed. Integrated with iOS 5's Notification Center.

Message Icon Layout
Instead of all message icons appearing in the same spot so you have to go through many guild messages to find a single PM, each type of message (PM, guild message, staff announcement, and friend requests) has its own spot on the screen.

Message Center
A unified inbox where messages are sorted by threads. A blue dot next to a thread shows a new unread message, and a grey dot shows a new offline message. Again, messages are sorted under 4 tabbed pages for PM, guild messages, staff announcements, and friend requests.

Upload Status
A special place to show the current status of graphic files you upload. The area shows a preview of the graphic, file size, whether it's received or not, and the current upload status. The dot next to the title shows an overview of the status (red = rejected, amber = received, awaiting approval, green = accepted).

NOTE:
Please bear in mind that this is a design concept video, not an official release demo. The features depicted are just ideas I tried to visualise, with interfaces I designed based on the current Graal system. This is NOT an official new update announcement, and features depicted are not guaranteed to be added to the actual Graal app in the future.

Rep +

these are all amazing ideas

Proffesional thread, and video with amazing suggestions. Well done, +rep.

*cough* Not leaking but i know something :)

Nice concept btw i wish there was a news scroll feed below the hearts that shows important news such as VIP/UDID warnings ..ect
Think that's the only way people will notice when they have a news feed scrolling all day long.

Very nice, I love this idea.

maybe push notifacations when theres a news update too?

I love the ideas too :D

amazing

Smexy idea<3

Loved the trailer, and I hope to see it on Classic soon!

Also, I saw another video you have made.
How is it possible to film your screen like that?

(you have made some video about a scammer)

Wow

Nicely done, your other videos are also great.

all great ideas, yes, but i actually enjoy reading through my messages :( seems like it would take more time to read through each section rather than one button and reply to a message, one at a time.

that was amazing.

my pikachu liked it too!

I like it but would you need iOS 5 for EVERYTHING
