Hands-on UX audit of a mobile training app used with a wearable band.
My role: UX research, field testing, information architecture, UX strategy.
Instead of reviewing screens at a desk, I tested the app in a real workout and found a bug that stopped the band counting reps. I then mapped every feature across four channels (glance, sound, screen up close, band), by the duration of each training unit, and by user level, plus an emotional support layer.
Result: a clear picture of what belongs on screen at each moment, delivered as recommendations and wireframes, and a reusable method for designing interfaces for people in motion.
