Process
Our Approach
We outlined the following key steps for the whole project:
During this process we analysed the app screen-by-screen against psychological principles to provide recommendations, updates and solution to existing version.
After completing the audit, we analyzed user behavioural patterns in Whil and ran Competitor Analysis. Base on our insights, we proposed an update to Behavior Engine to improve engagement and retention.
