Abstract
This document describes techniques for application reporting in an application-selectable user interface. These techniques permit a user to view reports for applications in a user interface through which these applications may be selected. By so doing, a user may quickly and easily determine which applications to select based on their respective reports and then select them or their content through the user interface.

A computing device comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more computer processors, perform operations comprising:
- presenting a first user interface having multiple selectable labels associated with multiple applications, respectively;
- progressively altering an area of each of two or more of the multiple selectable labels to present a change associated with content of the application to which the selectable label is associated;
- receiving a selection of one of the two or more of the multiple selectable labels through the first user interface;
- and
- responsive to receiving the selection of the selected selectable label, presenting a second user interface, the second user interface associated with the application associated with the selected selectable label, the second user interface presenting the content associated with the change presented in the selected selectable label.
