What is the difference between swipe and scroll?
In the swiping interface, the user is focused on a single task of saving or rejecting the image on the screen by swiping right or left. In the scrolling interface, user attention is divided between the dual tasks of searching and evaluation, resulting in weaker stimuli from images.
