Overall, the coordinate trainer looks very good!
I just have some feedback on things that I think would add to the user experience:
1) The option to disable the animation of the coordinate prompts would be a nice quality of life change. Being that the former app doesn't have animation, and the website does have animation, I think it would be nice to cater to both users.
2) Slightly increase the coordinate prompt size: Maybe I just haven't gotten used to the change, but on my phone screen the prompts just feel a bit small. The way I view the coordinate prompts is with my peripheral vision - mainly trying to focus on the squares themselves - but the smaller size has been throwing me off a little bit.
For reference, here are 3 screenshots of the coordinate prompts on different platforms:
Beta:
Former Mobile App:
Website:
The beta app has the smallest coordinate size, but more similar to the website than the former mobile app. For mobile devices I think it could be beneficial to increase the size to be similar to the other 2.
If possible, a slider that could change the size would be a really nice addition, but this could be too effort than the benefit it brings out.
3) Experiencing Sluggish Animation:
The beta app coordinate prompt animation often feels sluggish on my phone compared to the website animation. When I screen recorded it, however, it appears much smoother than I experienced in person. The only theory I have to this is that on phones with a higher refresh rate (mine is 90hz - Pixel 6) the animation doesn't sync as well, but in a lower frame-rate screen recording it looks good again.
4) Animation Enhancements:
On the website the Primary Coordinate Prompt slides off to the side and fades away, completing the animation. However on the Beta Coordinate Trainer the primary coordinate point just disappears as the secondary takes its place. This could be a part of the reason the animation feels a little sluggish sometimes.
A lot of this feedback here hinges on my own personal preference, but I'm interested in hearing other people's opinions about the coordinate trainer. Thanks again Tom for taking the time to add the trainer to the app!
