Research Study Details
Research Study Details
Through user interviews and empathy mapping, we gained deeper insights into the needs and pain points of the app’s target audience. Our research identified busy students and young professionals as a key user group, as they seek a fast and hassle-free way to book and manage movie tickets.
Beyond just time constraints, the study uncovered several barriers preventing users from going to the movies:
Time: Limited free schedules make spontaneous outings difficult.
Cost: High ticket and concession prices deter frequent visits.
Locations: Limited theater options in certain areas reduce accessibility.
Site Navigation: Complex or slow booking processes frustrate users.
By addressing these challenges, the app can create a more seamless and appealing movie-going experience.

At this stage, our mission was clear: solve user pain points and craft a seamless, enjoyable experience. To make it happen, we zeroed in on two key priorities:
Streamlining navigation: Ensuring users could move effortlessly through the app.
Optimizing the homepage: Strategically placing visual elements for instant clarity and engagement.
The goal? Turn frustration into frictionless fun—so booking tickets feels effortless, every time.

The high-fidelity prototype delivered a smooth, familiar booking experience—just like the effortless joy of a great cinema trip. We kept it intuitive, with:
✔ Smart breadcrumb navigation: A visual trail so users always know where they are (and where they’re headed).
✔ Progress bar integration: No more guessing—just a smooth, step-by-step journey from seat selection to checkout.
The result? A flow that just works, so users spend less time figuring out steps and more time anticipating the movie.
