Relive

About the project.

Relive is an app designed to automatically log a variety of activities such as walking, running, cycling, hikes, and road trips. Essentially, creating a digital time capsule that can be revisited and shared with friends and an online community. Our goal was to improve the function and design of the app, expand and tailor the app to vehicular users, and convert and attract active Strava and Apple Fitness users.

Stage Two

Design Audit

Audit the existing app and identify pain points in the current interface. Set priorities to each pain point to ensure on-time project delivery.

Stage Three

UI Design

Redesign the interface based on the data collected and the pain points identified. Design new key features to attract and convert users.

Problems and pain points.

"I have to keep switching between Google Maps and Relive to check my route."

"I only record three activities and I don't like having to scroll through all the activities every time I switch."

"Not sure why I would switch from Strava to Relive. All my friends are already on Strava."

"I wish this app had a notification page. I keep missing when I get a new follower or comment."

"I keep losing my friends when I ride with them. I need to pull over and call them every time."

Discovering current UI issues by performing a design audit.

An analysis on the visual elements, information architecture, navigation, content, and anything that impacts the user's experience. Priority 0 is an important issue that needs to be tackled immediately while priority 3 is less important but still worth noting.

Priority 0Priority 1Priority 2Priority 3
1Priority 0

The "add people" icon in the top right and the "Search" button in the primary navigation both takes the user to the search page. This duplicate function does not need to be part of the nav. Let's remove and keep it in the corner.

2Priority 0

The import function has a low importance and should be moved to a lower tier of navigation, like a settings menu. The app is missing a notification page and this would be a great spot to add the button.

3Priority 2

The yellow screens make a monotone, bland feed. The 3D map you can generate makes a more interesting graphic and should be the standard.

4Priority 3

The "Feed" heading does not need to be at the top of the page and in the primary navigation. Remove it from the top of all pages.

5Priority 1

If the selected activity in the drop down menu has more than 11 characters, the text breaks.

6Priority 0

The activity list is long, with 44 activities to choose from. It is great that there are so many activities offered, but it's not great when a user wants to quickly change activities.

7Priority 1

My activity is set to "Motorcycling" but it is recommending hiking routes. This needs to be removed. By removing, we increase the screen real estate for the map; improving the experience on smaller devices.

8Priority 1

If you want to filter the feed, you need to scroll down to "browse by activity type". This should be front and center so you can quickly access it. Just like on the record page, you have to tediously swipe through all 44 activities.

9Priority 1

You have to scroll to the bottom to see your "treasure chest" (completed challenges) and "past challenges". This should be moved to the top so it's easily accessible. "Treasure chest" is uncommon and the term should be revisited.

10Priority 2

The gap between the name and handle is large. The followers / following takes up more space than it needs. It could include more stats - like your total distance traveled. This should be moved to the top with your handle.

11Priority 1

The "get most out of relive" and "unlock perks" should be moved to a settings menu or your notifications as a way to promote the paid version of the app. Constantly seeing the promotion is detrimental to the user's experience.

12Priority 0

"My Routes" should be a page where you can create, save, and explore new routes. Let's move that to the primary navigation where the search button used to be.

13Priority 2

We should add a "badges" tab to showcase your completed challenges. This will replace the "treasure chest" from the challenges page.

14Priority 3

Remove latest activity because it is your most recent activity under the "activities" tab.

Relive stands out amongst their competitors because it allows users to track vehicular activities.

Grid System

iPhone 14 + 15 Pro

A new card system.

The new card system uses a drop shadow and radiused corners to soften the look. It maintains a minimalist feeling while ensuring the buttons and content stand out from the background.

Quick activity selector.

Click on the blue plus button then select and save your frequent activities from the activity list. They will be added to the quick selector.

Keep track of your group.

When performing a group activity, you can see where the others are in real time. This helps you follow their path in case you get separated.

Create custom routes.

You can create custom routes by setting waypoints. Save, share, or explore custom routes based on your selected activity.

Navigate between all available challenges, your current challenges, or your challenge library.

Filter your challenge results by using the quick activity selector.
