Savr is a Recipe app that allows users to choose a recipe and follow along when cooking the meal.
PROBLEM
​
Due to a text-heavy screen without any images, users are having difficulties following each step while they are cooking in the kitchen.
WHAT LED TO THE PROBLEM?
​
​
As the first step of the process, I dug into the existing research to understand what issues users had with the app.
To understand the root cause of the issues, I tried to discover why issues had happened (Situation) and what the users needed (Goal). From the research materials, I found these key quotes from the users:
HOW MIGHT WE STATEMENT
​
​
How might we enhance the user experience and ease the cooking process by incorporating visual aids in the cooking app?
DAY 2: MAPPING STORY
​
Generate multiple ideas by brainstorming, sketching, and sharing.
To address the issues with the app and provide an effective solution, I created several stories. After considering all options, I decided to use the last one as it offered the best solution and addressed the app's problem more effectively.
DAY 3 - 4: CRAZY 8'S SKETCHING + DECIDING
​
​
Determine the best layout of the critical screen and its flow.
I concluded that the 'Follow the recipe' screen is critical for resolving the issue. To arrive at the optimal solution, I generated several distinct ideas and carefully assessed their feasibility. Ultimately, Idea #8 emerged as the most favorable option due to its consistency with the user's goal.
Draw a storyboard to better plan and visualize the user's journey
DAY 5 - 7: FINAL PROTOTYPE WITH ADDED REVISIONS
​
High-Fidelity screens
Solution
The proposed solution would allow users to browse categories from the menu screen and select their preferred recipe from a list of results. The app offers several options for following a recipe, including video instructions, step-by-step text, images, or a combination of text and video based on the user's preference.
