what we did

We analyzed the existing screenflow of the app and searched for weaknesses in user guidance and visual design. We had a look on the options of interaction for the user on each of the screens. This detailed analysis revealed a few weak points, which we recorded in order to address and optimize them in our redesign. We developed a new user-relevant feature in addition to visual and structural optimization: The Outdooractive Community. The Delight feature is based on functions such as mutual exchange, collaborative planning and the need-based discovery of new routes.

The result is a clickable prototype of the redesign built in Figma and the following video. We illustrated what using the new outdooractive redesign and its screenflow could look like.
