When we first conceived of Stealth Bee Jam (or whatever we called it way back when) the iPad was not yet even a rumor. Our product features and iPhone user interface designs were carefully mapped out and painstakingly reviewed. We had a full on UI spec that detailed all of the flows.
For example here's a wireframe of the Song List screen.
We also had a pretty extensive set of full color screen layouts that was to provide the basis for the visual design. Here's an early Jam Screen mock up.
But everything changed when the iPad was announced in January. We decided to switch gears and revamp the product to make its debut on the iPad. You can see the design evolution of Stealth Bee Jam for iPad in this YouTube video:
Now we've come full circle and we've finally resumed development of the iPhone version - only now we have to support both Retina and Regular displays.
Surprisingly, when we revisited the user interface specification we did originally designed for the iPhone, we were surprised that we really didn't have to change very much. Of course we leveraged some interface concepts that we incorporated into our iPad version, but at least 80% of the original iPhone mock ups made it into the final product spec.
Here's a current mock up of the Song List screen.
Hopefully, Stealth Bee Jam for iPhone will be taking its place in the App Store real soon.
