Challenge
I joined Nukshuk when the app was in beta. It was clearly “designed” by developers. Though packed with functionality and detailed customization, the app was extremely difficult to navigate and left users confused.
Working with the project manager to garner feedback from beta testers, I did a design audit to determine where improvements needed to be made. Some of these notes included the following:
- Gray clickable buttons appeared disabled, confusing users
- An unintuitive “N/A” button was the method for skipping a habit; it was unclear to the user what this button did
- Once a habit was checked in, it turned gray, making some users think an error occurred
- Visual and interactive inconsistencies existed across the app
- A feature called AUTO Habits (journaling, meditation, prayer, etc. that could be completed in-app using a “board”) were accessed by clicking any empty white space on the habit check in card
- No design system existed
- There was no method for onboarding new users
