ABOUT

Over the last few months, we’ve been iteratively updating our grocery app user interface – on both Android and iOS – using Sainsbury’s Luna design patterns. As well as refreshing the look and feel of the app to match Sainsbury’s current brand expression, the changes have introduced better usability and accessibility throughout the shopping experience.

The enhancements include:
– larger touch friendly buttons (50 pixel height)
– consistent use of 18pt type for better legibility
– AA accessible colour contrast throughout
– a new consistent set of icons

The changes were acheived by designer-engineer pairing, and there are many more customer experience updates coming soon.

“I’m registered severely short-sighted and can honestly say, this is a fantastic app. Easy to navigate round. And the default font is a perfect size to read without having to strain my eyes.”
