Creating tabbed applications
When it comes to mobile app user interface (UI) designs, two common patterns stand out:

It’s most commonly used together with the List view (see Chapter 5), where users can select from a list of items and view the details of the selected item on another screen. The navigation style provides an easy way for users to move to the next screen, or navigate back to the previous screen. Figure 6-1 provides the conceptual overview of a navigation-style app.
The tabbed style, on the other hand, places several buttons at the bottom of the screen. These buttons are always visible and users can quickly decide which button has the content they want. Figure 6-2 shows the conceptual overview of a tabbed-style application.
