Meetup - Onboarding Journey (Good User Experience - Write up)

Experience:

Today the technology has grown up so much that we can check all the ongoing and upcoming events on our hand.There are lot of apps developed to help the users to explore their interested events nearby. One such application is "Meet up".The app help the users to find out the events interested to them.

This app helps everyone because it has big list of categories including recreation activities, hobbies, professional events, learning events etc.

Being a new user what was unique in this app is when you select signup, you will select the your location first. And then the topics and what kind of events you are looking for. Then comes registration part. So, if you feel like something which you are looking is not available on the app, you need not to register.

While registering, you can directly use Facebook account or gmail or you can register through your other email id. Without profile picture, account will not get created. Once after registration the app shows the events you are interested with, along with date and all other info.

Meetup also has 'going', 'saved' and 'past' tabs to check what's on your list. It also has notifications and messages in it. User can also share the events on social media.

Learning:
Being a new user my journey with Meetup was easy.

WAZE - GPS Application with realtime traffic information (Good User Experience - Write up)

Experience:

Technology has advanced in a such a way that, even if we don't know the commuting way for a destination, we reach on time without missing the road. Yes, GPS has become our day to day life, like any other mobile devices.

WAZE is one such application which is helping day to day every commuter. Waze works on both wifi and mobile data. It tracks it's user location through satellite.

Most attractive part of this application is the UI and it's pretty icons. Whenever I use this app I strongly feel like the designer has a very strong 'iconography' skill. Apart from icons, another impressing feature of this app is "real time data". This application is one, which completely runs on user driven real time data. For example, a Wazer will reports the traffic status, road construction, police alert, road accidents etc.

If the next Wazer, when he cross the same road and don't find any traffic - he updates the same. Also from application side the map has all the data like shops next to your commute, latest road information etc.

The biggest strength of this application is it's UI and users. It has a vast number of users, who updates it's data every next minute.

Learning:

Icons have a big impact on the user.

Suggestion:

Nothing as such
