View Types: 
-Status bar (a descreet bar that shows you stats about the device like battery, wifi connection strength)
if you make it disappear then you need to make a way to bring it back




-Navigation Bar - title




kinda like bread crumbs but backwards
 try not to have too many controls so that you loose your title
When designing try not to go deep but make more of a flat heirarchy

-Tool/Tab

tasks


this is when you have more to show then what will fit

Controls - graphic objects

Alerts
Modal Views


Action Sheets - make sure to make negative or undo actions red
