Sketch - Prototype - Test - Repeat

Following an Agile approach, it was important to run tight iterations to ensure the success of our output.

We based the whole process on the concept of rapid prototyping: starting from lo-fi wireframes, we tested our assumption with the stakeholders and with internal users.

Quantity is nothing without Quality

After the launch, we conducted some mobile usability test sessions to verify that the experience for the majority of our users (more than 60%, from Analytics data) was satisfactory.

The tests helped us to spot some usability puzzles, mostly for low-end devices, such as:

the comparison occupied too much interface and it was barely possible to add new offers
the disabled buttons confused the user because they didn't provide feedback
performance, due to simultaneous tasks, occasionally slowed the app
