The challenge
The goal was to elevate their product in two key areas: refreshing the outdated UI with several usability issues and introducing new features, like the ability to create different groups of friends.
Given the limited resources, it was crucial to ideate, test, and iterate rapidly to achieve the desired outcomes within an optimal timeframe.

Old iSharing interface, which I have completely redesigned.
The process
We started by analyzing documents and user feedback to identify pain points. After auditing the UI and benchmarking competitors, we created low and high-fidelity wireframes. This research-driven approach focused on usability and user-centric features like group creation.

At the start of our collaboration, the client equipped us with essential documentation highlighting user pain points and the specifications for new features. We carried out a comprehensive design audit and utilized feedback from over 10 million users via the App Store and Play Store to identify and address usability issues and visual inconsistencies.
Concurrently, we performed a benchmarking analysis of both direct and indirect competitors, such as Zenly and Life 360, to understand their interface designs and key functionalities like group creation. These insights were meticulously organized and analyzed, laying the groundwork for our design phase and helping prioritize features through a newly implemented ranking system.

With priorities set, we developed low-fidelity wireframes, refined through sketches that evolved into high-fidelity versions, which were rigorously tested for usability. Each design decision was balanced against user feedback, technical constraints, and the need to align with existing app patterns to ensure seamless user adaptation.
Our redesign efforts culminated in significant enhancements, including a refreshed UI and new features like a more interactive 'group mode' and improved location sharing. We also addressed specific user issues by redesigning icons for better visibility and interaction, and by optimizing the friend view for increased accessibility. Throughout, we focused on standardizing design patterns to deliver a cohesive and intuitive user experience across the app.

The new color palette was based on the previous colors of iSharing. We removed gradients and darkened the blue to make it more contemporary and accessible. Yellow, Mint, Orange, Pink, and Purple were added as secondary colors for more visual versatility, and a sand grey was used for backgrounds to provide a warm look. Initially, we chose Moderat, a modern sans-serif font with a versatile and elegant family, as the brand's typeface
Its clean and contemporary design stood out with clear geometric shapes that enhanced legibility and provided a friendly appearance. For iconography, we replaced Material Design icons with 'Phosphor,' an open-source library with a wide range of icons. It had a friendly look and feel, consistent in style and scale, and was flexible for multiple sizes and weights.

The visual identity of the app was expanded into a comprehensive design system, spreading the new visual style throughout the app to ensure consistency and coherence in the user interface, significantly enhancing usability. The design system was seamlessly integrated into the existing wireflows. Given that the implementation was client-managed, we ensured a meticulous handoff, documenting specific patterns for iOS and Android, along with the responsive behavior of the main screens.
As we finalized the new design, we developed working prototypes of the incorporated features. These prototypes were instrumental in bringing the design concepts to life and enabling user interaction prior to development. This step was crucial for testing the functionality and user-friendliness of the features, providing essential insights for further refinement and improvement.
