About Allowonce Mobiel App-Concept

Allowonce is een mobiel app-concept dat is ontworpen om jonge volwassenen te helpen hun uitgaven in één keer te beheren, plannen en beperken door een maandelijkse virtuele vergoedingskaart uit te geven. Door geld uit te geven aan hun Allowonce-kaarten kunnen gebruikers hun uitgaven eenvoudig beperken tot het gewenste maandbudget en hun uitgaven efficiënter registreren/volgen door er een label aan te plakken direct nadat ze een betaling hebben gedaan. Omdat budgettering, planning en het bijhouden van uitgaven allemaal zijn opgenomen in het proces van het uitgeven van een Allowonce-kaart, hoeven gebruikers niet meerdere apps te downloaden om hun financiën te beheren.

Design Challenge
The most challenging part was to come up with the right solution idea that incorporates various user pain points identified during the user interview process. Users had different issues : some pointed to budgeting, while others mentioned difficulties of recording spending, and still other users complained about the inaccurate, untimely statements. I had to come up with a solution that encompasses and balances all those needs in one seamless flow, and that was the most challenging part of this project.
Research
< User interviews >
Objective : uncover user pain points in using existing market solutions
Methodology : Zoom call, 1 hour each, 5 users within age 18-35
Results : Key pain points were identified
< Usability testing >
Objective : test usability & validity of solution
Methodology : Slack huddle, 20 min each, 2 rounds with 10 users within age 18-35
Results : validity of solution was confirmed, task flow was extended.
< A/B testing >
Objective : quickly test user preference of certain screens
Methodology : Google Forms, 8 users within age 18-35
Results : 3 screens were redesigned
Inspiration
The idea of Allowonce came from user interviews. Allowonce is essentially a creative mashup of the different types of apps that users mentioned that they were using. Allowonce provides automated budgeting and spending tracking by combining the usability of credit cards, the interactivity of mobile apps, and active communication, an all-in-one virtual allowance card that eliminates the need to juggle between budgeting and banking apps.
Project Duration
This app concept started in May and was finished in August 2022, as a capstone project for BrainStation's UX Design Bootcamp. Even after the project was finished, user testing and iterations continued.
Operation Flow
The main flow shows all core functionalities of the app concept, which include budgeting, spending, and tracking : how a user might put in their income, expenses and financial goal(s) to (1) obtain automatically calculated budget, (2) issue an AllowOnce card for the month, (3) spend money from the card, and (4) record their spending.
