1. fresh Metro interface design

I first met ZAKER for iPhone, and its fresh and concise UI design gave Xiaobian a feeling of deja vu, that is, the Metro interface of ——Windows Phone 7, a new generation of intelligent operating system of Microsoft. ZAKER draws lessons from the design style of WP7, and makes the color blocks into reading labels with LOGO, but these color blocks can be deleted and moved and sorted like iPhone. For example, when the icon is pressed for a long time, a delete sign appears in the upper left corner of the icon.

WP7-like interface design

In addition to the interface design, ZAKER has abandoned the traditional sliding page turning effect, and added more dynamic 3D stereoscopic flipping and simulated flipping, which, together with the exquisite picture display effect of iPhone, allows users to enjoy the feeling of flipping through magazines.

ZAKER for p>iPhone perfectly integrates Sina and Tencent, and integrates the most popular information dissemination and sharing methods at present. ZAKER has a very complete microblog client function, almost all the functions of Weibo, such as homepage, posting Weibo, forwarding, commenting, private messages, etc., but the premise of using it is to authorize and bind Sina Weibo or Tencent Weibo.

Personal Weibo

"Weibo Square" can be said to be a highlight of ZAKER, just like a Weibo information distribution center, which gathers news, food, beauty, sports, creativity, photography, jokes and other fresh contents in one place, so that users can know the freshest and hottest Weibo information in time. At the same time, ZAKER provides a special attention function, and the latest Weibo message released by users who join special attention will be pushed to the client at the first time, but this function only supports paying attention to five users at the same time.
