Athletone UX Review

Home

  1. Know your user. Design for who is actually using the screen, not who you imagine is using it. Every decision flows from this.
  2. One screen, one job. Every screen should have a single primary action. If you can't state what the screen is for in one sentence, it has too many jobs.
  3. Don't make the user think. If something needs explaining, it's already broken. Labels, icons, and flows should be self-evident.
  4. Hierarchy drives attention. The most important thing on screen should be the most visually dominant. If everything is important, nothing is.
  5. Reduce friction at every step. Every extra tap, every redundant field, every unexplained state is a place where a user stops. The best UX is the one the user doesn't notice.

PAGE PURPOSE - has a clear Start today's session but stacks four secondary jobs under it (motivate / navigate / nudge / monetize). (from replit) - The home screen is a personalized mini dashboard that shows the player their status at a glance, surfaces today's primary action, and confirms the app knows who they are — so a player, parent, or coach can read the screen in seconds without tapping anywhere.

Changes: https://apply-fir-47063405.figma.site/ note there are 2 versions, set via the settings page in home page

Hero replaces text header** The app had no visual identity. Both benchmarks open with a full-width athlete image. A sport app must feel like the sport before the user reads a word.

Check-in consolidated to one card** The same action appeared twice on one screen. One trigger, one card.

"Rest Day" heading removed from mission card** The hero already says "Recovery in progress." Two labels for the same state on the same screen is redundant.

"ACTIVE RECOVERY MODE" sub-card removed** A card inside a card adds visual noise without adding information the user needs at this moment.

Session count removed from streak card** It already appears in the mission card progress bar. Showing the same number twice on one screen is clutter.

Context strip above nav removed** Position and level are already in the hero badge. The strip repeated it a third time.

CTA buttons changed to pill shape** Buttons and cards shared the same border radius making interactive elements indistinguishable from containers. Pills create a clear visual grammar: rounded rectangle means card, pill means tap me.

3 Card section does not contribute to primary
