Background
The cleaning industry experienced a boom during the covid-19 pandemic. Fear from the virus prompted many to clean extremely in an attempt to prevent the spread. However, by doing so many increased their exposure to the chemicals used in cleaning and disinfectant agents- which may be hazardous to one's health. Repeated exposure to cleaning agents can be harmful over time and mixing certain chemicals can lead to instant risks.

The Problem
The challenges of finding reliable guidance in the crowded landscape of cleaning products
In the crowded landscape of cleaning products, reliable sources of information often remain hidden amidst a sea of noise. The overwhelming amount of available information makes it difficult for users to find accurate and trustworthy guidance. This lack of awareness about product safety and ingredient knowledge can lead to the misuse of cleaning products and potential health risks. Addressing these issues is crucial in empowering users with comprehensive knowledge to make informed decisions about the cleaning products they use.

User Flows and Task Flows
Identifying pivotal task flows for app success
Drawing upon the insights gained from the user personas, I carefully considered the goals, needs, and motivations of the users to create effective user and task flows. By beginning with the user flows, I mapped out the anticipated paths users might take, as well as any potential alternate paths resulting from their decisions. This informed the subsequent creation of task flows, which guided me in identifying the essential screens to be included in the upcoming wireframes.
User Flow: onboarding process
First, users needed to be able to complete an onboarding process for personalized product and information recommendations. This flow should be familiar for users, as all of my interview participants have completed an onboarding process in the past.
User Flow: scanning a product/having to add product
Second, users need to be able to scan their existing products and/or add to the product database. This is crucial in order for users to inform themselves on the products they use or would like to use.
Task Flow: users searching a product and viewing product information
Next, users need to be able to search through various articles, videos, and products. It is important for users to have quick and easy access to any form of information they are interested in accessing via the app.
Task Flow: users access article
Lastly, users need to access the learning hive hub for information provided in articles and videos. This is to showcase the various information users can access while utilizing the app.

Users expressed a desire for clearer information on where to purchase the products
Priority Test Results
Based on user feedback, I iterated on the app's design. I categorized the feedback into sections and identified common themes. By mapping issues based on severity and frequency, I prioritized improvements to enhance the user experience. Let's explore the iterative process and the key areas of enhancement.

Refining the Onboarding Experience
Refining the Onboarding Experience
In response to user feedback on lengthy onboarding, two key solutions were implemented: a brief introductory message allowing users to skip the process if needed, and a 'Save and Resume Later' feature for time flexibility. These iterations aimed to optimize user engagement and streamline the onboarding journey.
Providing Purchase Information for Products
Providing Purchase Information for Products
user feedback revealed that the products page lacked crucial information on where to purchase the products. To address this concern, a solution was implemented to provide users with clear details on where they could purchase the product, both online and locally.
Distinguishing Product Review Ratings from Ingredient Safety Ratings
Distinguishing Product Review Ratings from Ingredient Safety Ratings
received user feedback regarding confusion between product review and ingredient safety ratings. To enhance clarity, we introduced a clear distinction by adding the number of reviews near the product review section. This simple solution improves the user experience and enables informed decisions about product usage.

Improvements for the future
Throughout the course of this project, I gained several valuable insights and reflections that will guide future development and iterations.
Setting realistic goals
Firstly, it is crucial to set realistic goals and define a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to ensure a focused and achievable outcome. This approach allows for better resource management and prioritization of features.
Consider the Users Journey and Experience:
Additionally, I learned the importance of considering the user's experience from the very beginning. Overwhelming users with tedious tasks, particularly during the initial stages of using the app, can lead to demotivation and a potential drop-off in user engagement. It is vital to strike a balance between providing valuable content and personalization while avoiding overwhelming users with unnecessary complexity.
