When you start ideating your app, you'll want to think about the general structure of it so that when you come into the platform to build it you know what types of navigation points you want to display.

 

We recommend choosing your app's navigation setting before designing the graphics - you can always change it later, but doing so may require redesigning your graphics.

 

 

You can enable a fly-out menu on your phone app that will act as static menu for your app's navigation. This option will always be present with an icon in the top navigation bar to toggle the fly-out menu off and on.

This option allows you to display both top navigation bar and bottom tabs. The bottom tab bar allows you to provide access to certain sections no matter where the end user of your app is. This is typically located on the bottom of the screen for iOS devices and, in our software, displayed at the top of the screen for Android devices.

 

 

This option is for displaying the top navigation bar only and applies to the home canvas view. In most cases the top navigation bar displays automatically on all interior screens.

A tab bar is a global navigation point that allows you to provide access to certain sections no matter where the end user of your app is. This is typically located on the bottom of the screen for iOS devices and, in our software, displayed at the top of the screen for Android devices.

If you're up to the challenge and have access to a good designer, you can create a more appealing navigation. without the use of any of these. However, these are native and recommended for best user experience. Experiment and have fun with it!
