Onboarding #20: Path for iOS
Product? Path for iOS
What does it do? A social network. But only in an app and it is very polished. If you like animations, you’ll love Path.
Path welcome screen
- Very clean view with just two buttons
- Animation to show and hide the sign up form is really sweet
Path sign up
- Just 3 fields: e-mail, password and phone number
- The country code for entering the phone number matches with my country code, nice
Verify phone number
- A SMS is send to verify my number and connect it to my account
- Would have expected it to automatically verify after entering the 5th number, but I have to manually tap ‘Verify Me’
Onboarding first step: welcome
- A clean welcome which explains the next steps
Enter full name and add picture
- After tapping ‘Continue’, a dialog shows
- The full name field could use the capitalize all words setting
Find friends
- Option to import from various sources, like your address book, Twitter and Gmail account
Enable push notifications
- A friendly introduction to push notifications
- Tapping ‘Enable’ will show the Apple notification
Welcome to Path
- 3 slides with information about Path
Path main feed
- The feed is already prefilled with 3 events, and a tooltip is shown which points me to add a moment
- After a couple of seconds an activity is added, with an additional button to find friends
- To me, Path is one of the prettiest social networks I’ve seen, and the onboarding process is really smooth and seamless
