iStat Volleyball
This is an app designed for volleyball coaches and statisticians to record stats live during matches. Originally designed by Ryan, it began on the iPhone but evolved into a larger iPad app over time. Since it's first release in 2009, the app has held a consistent 4.5 star rating in the app store, and has built a loyal following of users. However, in 2016 we were asked to revisit the app and give it a modern facelift while also improving the user experience.

Strategy
Working closely with the app’s creator we established core improvements that could be implemented along with updated wireframes we were provided. Having a Partner already familiar with the original version of the app and 6 years of user data helped us move quickly through validating the UX and into higher fidelity design.

Some of the updates we identified were:
• Better on-boarding process for new or returning users
• Better on-boarding process for new or returning users
• More “responsive-friendly” layout
• A simplified and intuitive dashboard
• A more consistent visual language
Visual Language
Using Material Design language as a starting point for the new version of the app we created a new design system to modernize the app and remove visual clutter.
