Latte Locator 2.0 and has been renamed to Starbucks Locator. There have been some major changes under the covers to the Windows Phone 8.0 app in preparation for becoming a Universal app. Public facing changes include:
Here’s a look at some of the main views:
I lightened up the UI, added more green, changed the FontFamily and the type ramp. Additionally the store details page is no longer a bland grid layout, instead it has a nice parallax effect and an interactive map!
