About Lone Aplikasi Mudah Alih

Lone ialah aplikasi mudah alih untuk pembelian-belah sosial antarabangsa. Lone menghubungkan tiga kumpulan pengguna: pengembara, pembeli, dan pembeli-belah tempatan. Pengembara menemui barangan semasa berada di luar negara dan menyiarkan kad produk dalam aplikasi tersebut. Pembeli melayari dan mencari kad produk ini serta menempah barangan tersebut. Pembeli-belah tempatan di kawasan tersebut membeli barangan itu dan menghantarnya kepada pembeli. Pengguna boleh bertukar dengan mudah antara peranan pengembara dan pembeli. Aplikasi ini menggunakan pengimbasan kamera, paparan produk realiti terimbuh, dan pembayaran cap jari. Lone tersedia untuk Android dan iOS.

Design Challenge: Since the app is aiming to have users across different countries, so the quantity and the geographical mapping of the research samples was a challenge. But it is also a requirement, so the App is able to reach the human-centered design, avoid any confusion and inappropriate visual communication for people from different places in the world.
Research: A large amount of user research was performed over the course of the project, based on audience mapping, audience analysis, including user surveys, user interviews, A round of user testing, B round of user testing. Each round of user testing had 3 different focus of testing, including naming convention and copy of all screens in the App, user experience and user journey, visual design and color.
Inspiration: It is hard for people to get to buy all the authentic things over the world, more deeply, it is hard for normal people to really get to know about what is good in the outside world. we all have limited knowledge about the places we've never been; there's a lack of authenticity of products that are available for people while with increasing demand for international shopping, people have a higher willingness to buy authentic, creative products.
Project Duration: The design process of the project started in Feb 2018 in Rochester, finished in Oct 2020, it is an ongoing journey still with updates and user feedback.
Operation Flow: The app is functional, simple, and intuitive. But more than anything it aims to deliver a great user experience, with emotionally engaging interaction patterns. There are 3 parts of app users for Lone app. Travelers, buyers, and LONE shoppers. Travelers discover and post product cards in the App, buyers browse product cards posted by travelers, search for products and purchase products. Lone shoppers in that specific area will get the product and ship them to buyers. In this flow, travelers and buyers are the front-end App users, it's easy for users to change roles between traveler and buyer.
