the app

redesign

In this project, a redesign of a smartphone application was developed. We defined a user profile and focused on their needs. In the next step, we analyzed the overall context in which the app is used and organized the information structure and its model. Optimized user flows were created, and user-relevant features were added. A cohesive, function-oriented interaction and visual design was then developed. Regular user testing was conducted to validate and iterate on product hypotheses based on the current status. The result was a new mobile user experience.

The MoneyStats app is a digital budgeting app. Our goal was to design an app that serves as a daily companion and is easy to use, even without financial expertise.

simple - less is more
Our system should provide the user with a clear overview of its functions and be easy to use.

Targeting and supportive

Clear instructions, tips, and tricks should help the user reach their desired goal quickly and easily.

Motivating
‍

The app should motivate the user to pursue their goals through its appealing, accessible, and attractive design.

Account Management
‍The "Account Management" feature allows users to display their accounts in the app and synchronize them. All processes related to your finances can be managed here.

Debt Management
‍Additionally, you can track borrowed and loaned amounts through the "Debt Management" section. A reminder function alerts you about upcoming due dates. You can also pay off debts via online transfer directly through the app.

Overview

case study

Here is an overview of the design process.
The following phases were carried out: empathize, define, and ideate.

empathize

moneystats

The previous app was confusing, with misleading and inconsistent menu navigation.
The user was overwhelmed with information and couldn't find their way around.

define

User needs and goals

Debora, an aspiring policewoman who wants to keep track of her finances to make it through the month and save for a vacation, needs an easy-to-use app that doesn't require financial expertise.

information architecture

All content in the app is organized and structured within an information architecture. This is the structural design of content to enable intuitive access based on the product’s purpose and user needs.
