Hormona

The insights used to take up most of the home screen. They are useful for someone who wants to go deeper, but they pushed everything else down.

Now a button, "This happens today", shows or hides them, so they do not take up too much room on the home screen. The cards show only the start of each insight, and the details are revealed when you open one.

The old insights were informative, but hard to get an overview of and take in quickly. The most important words are now set in bold and supported by icons, so the information is easier to absorb at a glance.

Each insight is split into what to expect and what you can do, and a button at the bottom leads on to the next one.

A button shows the hormone levels and insights for the next day. It is for those who do not have time to read in the morning, or simply prefer to read them in the evening, perhaps when they log their symptoms for the day.

The overview moves to the home screen, because it has more value there than the daily quiz or Ask Hormona. The quiz moves to the community, and Ask Hormona is placed under the menu.

Instead of a weekly overview, which had no clear purpose, it is an overview of the whole predicted cycle, in the form of a circle as a visual aid. The circle is common in several period apps and therefore familiar to most users.

The predicted first day of the next period is in the middle, since it can be important when planning the days ahead. The regular calendar is reached through the calendar button in the middle.

The old call to action for the hormone test was too discreet and easy to miss. Buy test now sits on the home screen, next to the question of whether you want to know your exact hormone levels, and leads straight to the new shop tab to encourage buying a hormone test.

In the old app, Track looked like a button rather than a tab, and people expected it to take them straight to logging their period and symptoms. Instead it opened an overview, and there were several different modes for similar things that were easy to mix up.

Now pressing Track leads straight to the log, where both the period and symptoms can be logged in one place.

The calendar view shows the period, the tracked days and today, and has the same track button as everywhere else in the app, so it is recognised straight away.

The old dashboard held useful information, for example for a visit to the doctor or a gynaecologist, but not information you need very often. Predictions sat among the statistics, where they did not belong.

Now what is used more often gets priority on the dashboard, predictions have a tab of their own, and the overview of the amount of bleeding moves under the statistics.

To make buying a hormone test easier, it can now be done directly in the app, in a shop tab of its own.

The quiz is moved here from the home screen, where it took the place of the cycle overview. In the community it sits with the articles and discussions, among the other things you come to read and take part in.
