Catch Tracking

Fishing App for Studio Syamo

Catch tracking app features an interface that echoes the international typographic style (more commonly known as Swiss Style). By stripping away the embellishments, Catch tracking eliminates distractions for the fisherman and allows the information-heavy design to be read and studied rather than merely seen and admired. The result is a functional evolution from the existing paper booklet to a digital transposition offering a clear, simple and up-to-date tool for a conscious fishing activity.

Production Technology

The project was designed by following the standard process of a digital product creation. It went through 4 phases: the research phase (field studies / survey / user interview), the analysis phase (user persona / user journey / user flows / definition of features and MVP), the design phase (information architecture / wireframes / mood-board / hi-fi mockups / prototyping) and the testing phase (usability test / survey). Employed softwares: Typeform, Miro, Whimsical, Figma.

Design Challenge

The key challenge was to deliver an innovative product with a smooth switchover from paper to digital. A related goal was to ensure a smooth user experience suitable for the most and least tech-savvy users. To be successful in doing so, it was essential to keep consistency with the current system, to balance the amount of information displayed and to create a recognisable and intuitive design system.

Project Duration

The project started in March 2021 and had its first prototype release and test phase in January 2022 in Lugano, Switzerland.

Operation Flow

The app is structured in 3 main areas: Species, Compiling and Maps. Species section shows an exhaustive list of the fishes in the region. Compiling allows to record the catches. Maps indicates all the fishing areas with their relative informations. Secondary areas are Profile and Menu. Profile contains data and graphs related t fisherman seasons. Menu is divided into a further 6 useful tertiary sections: Contacts, Regulation, User details, Sessions, Settings and Notices.

Research

Between June and September 2021, several fishing sessions were carried out to locally assess the use of the paper-based system and grasp its flaws. Furthermore, to gather more information, a survey was conducted among a panel of 10 people. The results led to define the following details: user persona, logbook usage and its pros and cons, awareness of the regulation, digitalisation needs and acceptance, smartphone usage in daily life and during fishing activity and its pros and cons.

Inspiration

The project comes from the need to improve the fishing experience by considering all of the entities involved. The beneficiaries of the paper-to-digital switchover are: fishermen, authorities and fishery fauna. Catch Tracking allows fishermen to hold a useful and exhaustive tool at their fingertips. Authorities can save time and resources by analysing results and checking fishing licences. The fishery fauna is increasingly safeguarded thanks to a better managed fishing activity.
