2. Problem

The app did not effectively support users in discovering or continuing learning on mobile.

Key Issues:

  • Limited search functionality with no filters or suggestions

  • No progress tracking or learning continuity

  • Unstructured navigation across courses and eBooks

  • Webview-like experience affecting usability and trust

3. Research

Analyzed user reviews and benchmarked leading learning platforms to identify usability gaps and opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

  • Poor discovery leads to drop-offs

  • Lack of continuity reduces long-term engagement

  • Competitors prioritize structured navigation & progress tracking

  • The gap was not in content, but in usability and experience.

4. Plotting Insights

  • Users search with intent, not browse

  • Failure in discovery leads to churn

  • Learning breaks without progress tracking

  • Mobile experience must feel fast, intuitive, and native

  • Users valued access and continuity more than individual purchases.

5. Strategy

Focused on improving the experience across three core areas:

  • Discovery – Enable faster and more relevant content search

  • Continuity – Support progress tracking and seamless learning

  • Clarity – Simplify navigation and content structure

  • Explored opportunities to improve both user experience and business value.

7. Outcome

  • Reduced friction in content discovery and navigation

  • Improved learning continuity through progress tracking

  • Introduced a subscription model supporting recurring revenue

  • Designed a scalable structure for future growth

  • Balanced user experience improvements with business goals.

8. What I’d Do Today

  • Introduce AI-driven personalized recommendations

  • Validate decisions through usability testing

  • Design for offline-first learning

  • Improve accessibility (WCAG standards)

  • Optimize for native performance

9. Learnings

  • Prioritized problem definition over visual design

  • Improved ability to structure complex platforms

  • Strengthened product and business thinking

6. Solutions

Search Experience

Subscription Model. (Unlimited Membership).

  • One-time purchases limited long-term engagement

  • Introduced a yearly “Unlimited Membership” model

  • Simplified access to all courses and eBooks

  • Designed clear value communication to highlight cost benefits

  • Reduced decision friction and encouraged commitment.

  • Shifted the product towards a scalable, recurring revenue model.

This redesign reflects the app experience and opportunities identified in 2023.

Some solutions were conceptual due to product and resource constraints.
