About Lone Mobilna aplikacija

Lone je mobilna aplikacija za mednarodne družbene nakupe. Lone povezuje tri skupine uporabnikov: potnike, kupce in lokalne nakupovalce. Potniki med potovanjem v tujini odkrivajo izdelke in v aplikaciji objavljajo kartice izdelkov. Kupci brskajo po teh karticah izdelkov, jih iščejo in naročajo izbrane artikle. Lokalni nakupovalci v tistem območju kupijo izdelke in jih pošljejo kupcem. Uporabniki lahko preprosto preklapljajo med vlogo potnika in kupca. Aplikacija uporablja skeniranje s kamero, prikaz izdelkov v obogateni resničnosti in plačevanje s prstnim odtisom. Lone je na voljo za Android in iOS.

Production Technology: Lone app utilizes native app technologies, including camera-based features for scan, augmented reality features to show products, and Touch ID to pay. Illustrations were designed in Adobe Illustration, app UI was designed in Sketch and animated with Adobe After Effects.
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.
