Target Audience
METU students and staff who actively participate in sports activities and require a more efficient way to explore and book sports facilities.
Users looking for a seamless and intuitive mobile experience to manage their sports schedules.
Individuals who need motivation and engagement features to sustain their sports habits and be part of a dynamic sports community.
Solutions
As the app was originally designed for reservations, we enhanced the user experience by making upcoming bookings easily accessible through the homepage.
We aimed to create a social space where users could post announcements and inspire each other, whether to find workout partners or simply to encourage more active lifestyles.
Home Page
Seaarching and Browsing
We introduced three categories: Calendar, Sports Branches, and Community.
The Calendar allows users to track their own events and reservations
The Sports Branches and Community sections display relevant activities and gatherings.
Create Reservation
Since the main purpose of the app is to make reservations, we wanted to emphasize this button as much as possible and customized it into three sections.
