We had a challenge in making it obvious for users to be aware that the mode have changed within the app. Therefore, we tested and the results was good with the idea of overlay full screen from the platform message.

SWOT - Analysis

We used the SWOT analysis method to narrow down the best sub-category that we could work with the the most potential.

strength

it encounters everyday life

weakness

since it is a necessity there are a lot of repeated inventions already

opportunities

a more precise app that complete certain task more focused on a certain group of people

threats

the scope is too big and will soon lose the purpose of mission of the app.

To narrow down to a specific group we researched on all possible apps that now exists and sub categorize them into groups and then do research accordingly.
