That’s an important reason why toolbars and navigation typically land at the bottom edge of phone interfaces – the opposite of what we’re accustomed to for traditional screen interfaces. Desktop software conventions put menus at the top of the screen or window, and websites typically position primary navigation at the top of pages. Our limited thumbspan, however, flips that convention around, and navigation and primary tap targets sink to the bottom.
