BBC Bitesize App I have developed an iPad app for the BBC Bitesize GCSE revision service aimed at encouraging a continuing improvment of knowledge.
The app features engaging, colour coded subject illustrations to keep the content organised and the user interested.
Other features include subject selection, statistics from the in-app module tests and suggested revision topics to help guide their progress.

The user can swipe horizontally on some screens to browse through the modules.
All content is displayed in this area, with the main navigation bar always shown at the bottom of the screen.
This icon opens up the settings window that apprears over the current screen with iOS styling. The Bitesize logo take the user to this main subjects screen for any other section of the app.
Main Navigation Controls This board shows the main navigational controls of my app. They have been designed to allow easy access to all of the content.
This higher navigation bar can be be used to change subject section and also highlights the current subject.
The main iOS title-bar is hidden in my screenshots as it can be toggled on/off in the settings menu of the app allowing for more screen-space.
This icon takes the user to the statistics screen with information about their revision progress.
