Problem
Company’s pains
The company had been receiving many negative reviews on Google Play due to the widget's lack of features and its malfunctioning. As a result, the company was losing position in relation to its competitors.
Product issues
Widget that didn't update frequently, lack of essential weather forecast data, such as weather alerts and precipitation, and lack of accessibility.
Main activities
User research, competitor analysis, feature prioritisation, information architecture redesign, prototyping, metrics planning and analysis.
Before
Lack of data that users consider important and that competitors have
Lack of feedback messages such as weather alert and connection issues
Small characters and with low contrast
Inability to configure the widget after adding it
After
Addition of weather data based on user research and competitor analysis
Implementation of accessibility guidelines
Mapping and implementing error and alert cases, both weather and system-related
Customisation of visualised data, based on individual needs
Possibility of fully configuring the widget even after adding it
Better organized information
