Android & iPhone apps

Overview

Following the release of the iPad app, Rightmove brought app development in-house. I was the Snr UX and visual designer in a small development team working on both the iPhone & Android apps.

We took advantage of the devices functionality to provide search results based on the user’s current location and the ability to call an agent straight from a property details page. The app also included large swipeable property images, zoomable floorplans and local area information. We also developed push notifications that alerted users to new properties being listed which matched their saved searches.

Before the project began I facilitated workshops with the business and customers. This phase identified the user needs, the business requirement and defined the overall experience of the app. During developement I ran regular usability sessions with Rightmove customers to validate the approach.
