Solution: Through inclusive workshops, we gathered the client’s preferences for the cycling app and used weekly feedback loops to refine the design, focusing on features like syncing with Apple Watch and adding dark mode.

Outcome: This collaborative approach ensured the app’s features were aligned with the client’s goals and provided a more personalized experience, such as automatic heart rate tracking and visual preferences with dark mode

Discovery Workshops & Understanding User Needs

Solution: We dedicated three weeks to understanding cycling devices and the project's scope. During this time, we planned the integration of features like real-time riding partners and advanced cycling stats, ensuring they met user expectations.


Outcome: The app’s seamless Apple Watch sync and real-time riding partner feature were developed based on this research, providing a well-rounded, tech-savvy cycling experience for users.

In-depth Research and Feature Development

Solution: The app was built using Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS, ensuring smooth performance on both platforms and integrating features like syncing heart rate and workout data automatically between devices.

Outcome: The app delivered a consistent experience across both iOS and Android, enabling users to track all their important cycling data, such as distance, heart rate, and speed, without interruptions or compatibility issues.

Seamless Cross-Platform Integration

Solution: After initial testing with select users, we quickly iterated on the app, releasing new features like dark mode, the ability to view all data sets in one place, and an intuitive design to track advanced stats.

Outcome: Features like dark mode and a clean data dashboard were highly appreciated, improving user engagement and making it easier for cyclists to 

Real-Time Feedback Implementation & Iterative Improvement

Solution: We integrated real-time riding partners, where users could adjust virtual companions’ speeds and set goals, while also consolidating cycling stats (distance, heart rate, speed) in one convenient place.

Outcome: These features encouraged community engagement, allowing cyclists to ride together virtually and track all their workout metrics in one clean interface, leading to a more dynamic and social cycling experience.

Data and Community Features for Engaged Cyclists

Solution: After the official app launch, we continued to gather feedback and rolled out new features weekly, focusing on refining the integration of advanced stats and ensuring a seamless experience with cycling data visualization.

Outcome: The ongoing updates ensured that features like improved stats (graphs, maps, tables) and real-time adjustments for riding partners were optimized based on user needs, delivering a continuously improving cycling experience.
