This project was my first mobile app design that systematically helped me learn and practice UX research, including identifying problems, setting up learning goals, conducting user interviews, creating personas, and making a competitive analysis of the market.
According to my research, I brainstormed and summarized features for each task flow, and moved into the design stage with sketches.
Also, I was able to conduct user testing to understand users' doubts and real needs from different perspectives. Based on feedback, I revised some detailed parts so that the users have a more clear usage of the app.
