Scrolling in mobile app "Schedule' View is inconsistent.
To reproduce:
- Open iPhone mobile app
- Load "Schedule" tab in "Planner" mode,"By Week" view (should have many items to make content go off screen.)
- Try swiping up to scroll down the page (swipe needs to be on the center block.
Expected Behaviour
- Page scrolls up
What Happens:
- First item touched is highlighted in blue and scrolling fails.
- App feels "broken" because scrolling is such a fundamental behaviour
- Touching to the right or left of the list (in the grey background) allows scrolling to work (but this is an unsatisfactory experience)
Possible Solutions
- Require touch-and-hold before dragging items in mobile interfaces.
- Tap - selects
- Drag - scrolls
- Touch and hold. for 0.5s - enters "drag mode" held item attaches to finger and gets moved
- Have an "Edit mode" toggle
- Regular mode:
- Taps open task details.
- Checkbox complete tasks
- Swipes scroll the view
- Edit mode
- Checkboxes replaced with 'handles' for dragging.
- swiping outside of handles scrolls
- swiping with touch starting on handle drags/drops
- Regular mode:
- Just have drag-dop handles on every item in list:
- Touch shows details
- Swiping scrolls
- Swipe originating on handle drags/drops.
App:
iOS app
We believe this issue is solved. You need to long hold on a task to start dragging it.
Dragging has been disabled on repeating tasks for now.
