As a wellness creator, your app’s success depends on how easily users can find and engage with your content. In Breakthrough 6.x, we’ve moved to a horizontal scroll with subcategories, replacing the old vertical list.
This isn’t just a small design tweak—it’s the modern content framework used by top content-driven apps like:
✅ Spotify (for playlists & albums)
✅ Netflix (for movies & shows)
✅ Calm & Headspace (for meditation programs)
✅ Sweat & Peloton (for fitness plans & workouts)
Why? Because this proven layout improves engagement, navigation, and user experience—making it easier for users to find and enjoy content without getting overwhelmed.
Why Horizontal Scroll is Better Than a Long Vertical List
1️⃣ Faster & More Intuitive Content Discovery
🔴 Old Vertical Layout Problem:
Users had to scroll endlessly through a long list to find specific content.
Important classes or programs got buried at the bottom of the screen.
🟢 New Horizontal Scroll Solution:
✅ Organizes content into subcategories, allowing users to swipe through sections quickly without overload.
✅ Familiar UX—mirrors Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube, making it instantly intuitive.
✅ Less friction—users don’t need to dig deep to find something relevant.
2️⃣ More Organized & Modern Design
🔴 Old Vertical Layout Problem:
Everything was grouped together under one big category, leading to cluttered screens.
No way to segment content by experience level, interest, or theme.
🟢 New Horizontal Scroll Solution:
✅ Uses subcategories to break down large collections (e.g., Meditation → Sleep, Stress Relief, Daily Mindfulness).
✅ Better user control—lets users pick exactly what they want faster.
✅ More visually engaging—content is neatly grouped instead of feeling like an endless list.
3️⃣ Proven to Increase Engagement & Retention
🔴 Old Vertical Layout Problem:
Users often felt overwhelmed by an endless list.
If they didn’t find something immediately, they were more likely to exit the app.
🟢 New Horizontal Scroll Solution:
✅ Encourages exploration—users are more likely to swipe and engage with different sections.
✅ Increases time spent in-app—users discover more content naturally (just like how you end up watching more on Netflix).
✅ Gives your app a premium feel—your app matches the best content platforms in user experience.
🔹 This is the New Standard—Time to Upgrade!
This horizontal scroll layout is the modern industry standard for content-driven apps. Netflix, Spotify, Calm, Headspace, Sweat, and YouTube all use this framework—because it works.
To optimize your app experience with the new layout:
✔ Use clear subcategories (e.g., “Morning Routines” vs. “Evening Wind-Down”).
✔ Highlight your best content first so users see it immediately.
✔ Use strong visuals & titles to make each category engaging.
✔ Keep content updated—regularly refresh what’s featured in each section.
