What was the ask?

Design user experience to incorporate new features for meditation and orient users to them.
We designed several new features to improve the meditation experience after taking into account numerous feedback provided by users of our Beta version. Additionally, design the onboarding experience for these new features.

How we come up with these new features?

The design and product teams gathered to categorise the beta testers' feedback in order to identify patterns in their requests.

• Faced accent issues from an Indian origin narrator (Samvid Sharma narrated all the meditation sessions himself)

• Needed more or less silence throughout the sessions

• Needed background sounds to improve their experience

• Ability to download the sessions

How I tackled this problem?

I started by designing the feature experience before moving on to the onboarding experience. As I worked on the onboarding, began determining which features were crucial, which needed to be explained to our users first, and what language to use.

What are the new features to be added?

Voices
- Different narrator voices
- Preview voices when tapped
- Control session’s guidance level

Background sound and music
- Enable/Disable
- Single select background music + Volume slider
- Multi select background sounds + Volume slider

Favourite

Download

What is user onboarding?

User onboarding is a planned sequence of interactions and instructions that aids the user in becoming accustomed to the features of the product.

What do we wish the user will learn during the onboarding process?
