An example of UX improvements on an app

I’m a huge fan of Timeful, which uses “Intelligent Time Assistance” to recommend times to complete tasks. You can tell it you want to run for an hour 3 times a week, or you want to spend 2 hours a week looking for a job, and it’ll recommend when you should spend time doing that. If you’ve never used it before, check it out first. You’ll get a lot more from this if you experience the app first.

So, Timeful is still on version 1 (1.1.5 to be exact), and they’re doing the right thing by emphasizing functionality before investing time in trying to make it pretty. They’ve also been really well received, with 300+ ratings and an average of 4 stars on the iTunes store. So, it’s the perfect time for someone to scrutinize the UX for the future versions. In this article, I’m going to point out 3 problems and potential wireframe solutions.

This is Timeful

Have I missed anything? Do you disagree with me? Shoot me a message, I’d love to discuss it with you.
