Challenge

How to make an academic podcast app interesting enough to compete with content available in other applications such as Spotify, YouTube and Apple Podcasts? How to differentiate our app from others that are bigger, longer lived and have so many active users? And how to do all that in a minimum budget.

Solution

We didn’t want to “invent the wheel”, we relied on existing and familiar flows so we can lower the learning curve, we simplified and unsophisticated the design yet kept it elegant and up to date and most importantly - we focused the content on educational subjects only, but with a twist. We created categories that are actually interesting and relevant to everyone’s every day life.

Wireframes

We created a simple, interesting, one of its kind podcast app. The first academic podcast app in the country. Demonstrating simple UX, easy to navigate flows and overall fun application - in a bare minimum budget.
