| 40 | Animations can add subtle visual cues that notify users about what's going on in your app and |
| 41 | improve their mental model of your app's interface. Animations are especially useful when the |
| 42 | screen changes state, such as when content loads or new actions become available. Animations |
| 43 | can also add a polished look to your app, which gives your app a higher quality feel. |
| 44 | </p> |

| 46 | Keep in mind though, that overusing animations or using them at the wrong time can be |
| 47 | detrimental, such as when they cause delays. This training class shows you how to |
| 48 | implement some common types of animations that can increase usability and add flair without |
| 49 | annoying your users. |
