App Swap with Peers

Sitemap & Wireframe

These were essentially out sitemap / wireframes by week 4. A few little parts we need to work on the flow i.e. some pages lead back to previous pages. A lot of these issues though are solved with a back button or the menu.

Rough wireframe

Immediate welcome screen (after loading screen)

Home/main page/Navigation page

Contact page. Consider adding customized groups?

Note page. Includes notes on destination/path

SOS page. Include explanations? 

+ settings: who to send to, what to send, how often, etc

Week 2 - MOSCOW analysis and user needs

Emergency/Personal safety mobile apps research

I did a bit research on emergency and personal safety mobile apps, to see what other people have done.

The common features I have noticed from these:

- panic button

- GPS tracker / map correlated location

- contacts in case of emergency

What I think our app could have / focus on to stand out:

- letting members add on notices, warnings, comments, etc on the route (i.e. this path is dim-lit, this area has a lot of drunkards/perverts/...)

- panic trigger without having to go into the app (i.e by pressing home button 3 times)

Interface-wise, most of these are in flat design UI, which I think is neat, but I wonder if this style will look too calming in emergencies where you have to be alert?

I am thinking semi-flat might be more suitable for the app. I will start on making mock ups tonight
