When should an interface be animated?

Question

User interface

Good afternoon!
I develop for myself (as a hobby) very simple projects on Swift, before that I made the simplest interfaces, but I want something beautiful and I would like to make them animated? I read on the Internet that too many animations and effects are not required for the interface.

Answer 1

You need to animate.
But you need to consider the timings on a real device.
There should be no animation waiting to click a button or make a gesture.
those. it should not strain the fastest user from the word at all.
See how scrolls work.
Boundaryfeedback when the user has scrolled to the end helps to understand that there is nothing else below.
Animation during loading - shows that the application is alive and not hanging tightly. etc

Answer 2

If your target audience consists of idiots who have a lot of time, then you can animate.

Answer 3

Where appropriate (: And there are resources for implementation! And there are also studies confirming that this will be appropriate and will bring the company an increase in profit or loyalty + KPI
