Refining Screen Flows and Sleep Playback Consistency
Addressed rough screen transitions that remained after launch, and resolved misalignments between sleep playback termination and alarm handoff.
The initial release screens were structured primarily around surfacing features. Individual capabilities were accessible, but the transitions between screens lacked cohesion. This update revisited the layout and flow of the explore, recommendation, diary, and content screens, restructuring them to read as a connected sequence rather than a set of discrete entry points.
A more concrete issue was identified in the sleep feature. The moment playback stops before sleep and the subsequent handoff to the alarm were misaligned, causing playback to not terminate cleanly at the intended point. The stop behavior and session completion logic were unified under a consistent handling model. A regression on Android where the alarm would re-trigger was also identified and resolved.
These inconsistencies do not surface in feature specifications but directly affect the reliability of the experience. For features used immediately before sleep, the consistency of the termination behavior has a measurable impact on user trust.
