UX animation is the foundation of every microinteraction. And the best way to create believable applications is to make believable animations.
If you check out the main gallery page you can browse through all kinds of styles from 3D effects to bounces, fades, flips, folds, you name it. These are all organized under the “styles†menu in the top navigation.
But you can also dig into patterns based on the type of elements you’re animating. These patterns include buttons, loading screens, navigations, pull-to-refresh features and a whole lot more.
The best part of App Animations is that it curates real app interfaces. You’ll be digging into real applications and looking at real-world animations from the iOS App Store.
If someone else coded the animations you find here, then you should be able to recreate something similar.
