Challenges and
weak parts of the
proposed concept
Organization of the user flow
Due to the less real user interaction it
was difficult to define a perfect user flow
for this application. Some of the sections
in the app may lack opportunities to quit
or get to the group discussions instantly
Long term knowledge
However the app is good tool to refresh the
knowledge it can't be very helpful at building
long term understanding as concepts are
explained very fast and don`t provide later
developement in the understanding of the
subject ( ex, follow up questions/the practical
use of the concept/real worl opportunities)
Groups are just another apps
group discussions are moved to other
platforms like Telegram or Discord
the app can only keep them
separated from other groups of the
user in these platforms
Challenges and
weak parts of the
proposed concept
Gathering raw data : Identifying product specifications : Creating a UI screens :

not surprisingly one of the most the most challenging part was to find a well it took a while untill we could use UI
challenging part of the project was defined list of metrics for a product laws in the real life problems ( in this
gathering raw data from target audience case designing an app )
as it was very exhausting process
