School App

Nearly a decade after the initial launch with few updates along the way, the Digistorm team decided to rebuild the app and redesign the modules. The initial app design was outdated, lacking a clean, modern look and intuitive interface. The goals of the redesign were to enhance the overall user experience, address existing usability issues, give the app a sleek and uncluttered modern aesthetic, and incorporate additional high-valued features based on customers feedback.

As Digistorm’s in-house product designer, my role was to design the new interface and work closely with the app developers to ensure the redesign met key objectives and was implemented successfully. We began the redesign process by analysing how users were interacting with the app and identifying areas to improve, as well as reviewing feedback from schools and parents who had downloaded the existing app to define valuable new features.

The final result was a streamlined and elegant mobile app interface with a clean, minimalist design fitting school brands more easily with improved user experience for all modules. Beyond the aesthetic overhaul, we also developed a new scalable solution for integrating relevant third-party modules into the app in a way that provides a seamless, high-quality experience for users of major school software systems, including Schoolbox, TASS, Edumate, Clipboard and Sentral.
