Why we are creating the app experience

01

Misalignment with User Scenarios
- Low Retention and Weak Engagement

As more users prefer mobile devices, the web experience's drawbacks are becoming evident. The lack of mechanisms and incentives to encourage ongoing use results in high user churn and low engagement

02

Low Business Conversion Rates
- Incomplete Commercial Value Conversion

The desktop user experience lacks a complete conversion loop, with unresolved pain points and inadequate feedback mechanisms, leading to low business conversion rates

How To Increase User Willingness

01 | Create User Reach

Group 1000006947.png

By analyzing these dimensions, effectively assess user preferences based on their previous searches or bets. Optimize the placement and hierarchy of activity banners and recommendation information on the homepage and search pages. This will provide users with a more flexible and comprehensive list of events, reduce search and browsing costs, and stimulate user engagement.

Frame 1000007243.png

Design goal: For goal-oriented users, provide quick access to relevant information while retaining user habits. For users without specific goals, add quick access to shorten user paths and increase exposure to trending events

01 | Positioning & Search Functionality

For users with unclear goals, offer an immersive browsing experience with a dedicated section for popular events. Refine recommendations using filters and dynamically update events to drive conversions. Tailor event suggestions based on user data and adjust market values on the homepage to boost conversion rates.

02 | Popular Matchup List

For users without specific goals: Provide event recommendations and optimize sorting to help users discover interesting events through featured recommendations. Popular event suggestions should also guide users to explore further on the sports pages.

02 | Favourites/League Promoted Area
