Problem
Tablets have much more screen real estate than their smartphone counter parts. To use the space well but still maintain consistency between the smartphone and tablet app a different design approach for showing information is needed.
Split View is a design approach that is often used on many desktop and web applications. Left side of the screen displays higher level categories and selecting one of them brings detailed info of the selection to the right side of the screen.
Consequences
- Full utilisation of the screen
- Consistent information architecture between smartphone and tablet app
