For the BaroTrend app project, the UX process began with research to understand the specific needs and behaviours of our target users, who are predominantly weather enthusiasts and individuals who depend on precise atmospheric data. Following the research phase, I defined the app’s scope, focusing on essential features like real-time atmospheric pressure readings, comprehensive weather statistics, and an array of customisable settings for personalisation.
The design phase was dedicated to crafting wireframes, which laid the foundation for the subsequent high-fidelity mockups. These mockups brought clarity to the home screen layout, ensuring that the atmospheric pressure gauge was prominently featured while secondary metrics like humidity and wind speed were presented clearly, yet unobtrusively.
A central part of the design process was the development of the settings page. This feature empowers users with the flexibility to customise measurement units and the app’s visual interface, including a dark mode for improved visibility under diverse lighting conditions and minimized eye strain.
In the finalisation stage, I focused on refining the visuals and interactive elements of the app, placing a strong emphasis on meeting accessibility standards. This approach guarantees that all users, regardless of ability, can navigate and utilise the app with ease. The result is a user-centric app that facilitates an intuitive understanding of atmospheric data, delivering an engaging and informative experience right from the first interaction.
