For Interactive Design we were asked to design an app that would encourage more people to go outside which I really enjoyed. I named my app ‘No Excuses’, referring to the fact that the app is that easy, helpful and fun to use that there are no excuses to not spend more time outside, even on the consumer’s busy days.
The app has many features including weather reports and maps for directions. The app can suggest outdoor activities and events, both big and small, using your location. All kinds of activities can be suggested such as free concerts, parks, outside cinemas, hiking, firework displays, scavenger hunts etc.
As well as this, the app can show you the nearest food places and their ratings to your chosen activity, and helpfully, bookings for events and activities can be made directly from the app making your life much easier.
There are also options such as “suitable for children/families/older children and younger adults so that people can find the perfect event suitable for them.
For the design of the app I have shown images including fireworks, nature, a theme park etc. to demonstrate the purpose of the app.
