Hi there I have a mobile app I'm building, good functionality so far but I am stuck on uploading a user image. The issue I am having is that the photo needs to be cropped. In (for example) my android phone if I want to take a photo of a user for my contacts I...
1) Open the app
2) select the option to take a photo
3) take the photo
4) crop the photo
5) done in one app
In A5 I can't find a user friendly way to do this instead I have to:
1) use the camera and take a photo of the user (before I open my app)
2) open up google photos (or some photo editing software)
3) navigate to the menu
4) find the crop function
5) crop the photo and save it (rotate if necessary too)
6) open up my app, navigate to the photo upload component I've built
7) click the upload btn which gives me access to the file system
8) select google photos
9) navigate to the cropped photo and select it
10) done using three different apps
I have had to build instructions to help users understand what they need to do if they want a nice square image orientated the right way but they are ridiculously long and android and iPhone have different photo editing apps and options which becomes ridiculously complex to train users easily.
If I just take a photo I get all sorts of sizing and orientation issues, the end result is poor and users complain it looks cheap.
Any ideas out there in A5 land please?
