Problems

Because restriction of privacy ploicies, we need to rethink product direction.

App uses LBS (Location-Based Services) as the core technology to display the location of nearby members on the map, view the other user that are often passed by, and provide interactive action. However, Because of restriction of privacy ploicies, mobile not allow developer to read the user's real-time location and display it on the platform publicly. Therefore, it made us to think how to maintain the core value of the product and protect the privacy of the individual.


There are more and more competing products in the market, how to enhance uniqueness and increase App adhesion.

The company's products are not only on the App and the Web, but also take place various physical activity like singles mixers or Lecture. The company's products had been online since 2012. As the competitive product rise rapidly in the market, how to create unique functions from the user and increase adhesion, It is become the first thing we have to face.

Problems

A. Replace the original function with the idea of radar

map
compass
radar
Radio signal

The App shows the location of nearby members, seeing the other user that are often passed by, and no longer misses anyone With the original concept, we start to brainstorming and organize ideas by mind map. Finally, we choose the idea of radar to show the location of the surrounding users. User is on the core of radar, the closer to the center is the one that may appear around the user.

B. Thinking about the current phenomenon of target audience and breaking the original form

People often choose their partner judged by appearance at first, it is easy to ignore potentially suitable person. At the same time, the user loyalty are low, It is easy to transfer to other platform when there are not find the favorite person.

We want to break the condition that selecting friends judged by appearance. And, by appealing woman to attract man stay on the platform. We create the feature that add psychological quiz by cooperate with our lecture teachers. It can deeply understand each other and increase the topics to chat.

Preliminary planning of game features:

App frame

The main function radar detection page (Near By) is combined with the original photo wall, chat function and the track page that shows who always passes by you, and finally adds the new psychological quiz. These becomes the main structure after the revision.
