Designing a Good, easy to use, way to find meal and build a food lover community
Liven company approach us to create an — Eat, Pay & Earn food application, the first challenge the Skytz Software Labs team faced was how to design a great UI experience that met the user goals for the Liven — Eat, Pay & Earn food team: providing a discovery tool to find meals that were near to the user and creating a community within the app that fostered connections.
In attempting to solve Liven company problem, the Skytz Software Labs mobile team turned to the left-swipe/right-swipe mechanic that had been trending in the dating genre with apps such as Tinder and other good apps. Instead of swiping through potential mates, with Liven — Eat, Pay & Earn food users would instead use the same mechanic to browse through nearby meals–leveraging the left-swipe/right-swipe mechanic to indicate the user’s interest or disinterest in the dish being presented.
Skytz Software Labs team add premium features that enhance the presentation of the meals: info on which other people enjoyed the same dishes and reviews of both the meals and the restaurant itself. A Home Screen feel in the application was used to create a central meeting in the app to foster a sense of community as users trade recipes, tips and other recommendations with each other.
