The Shuttl App Needs to Be Fixed – Here’s How
![Page 2: The Shuttl App Needs To Be Fixed - Here's How:](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070515/5878f4ee1a28ab49608b5369/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
First Impressions – Onboarding Experience
• As soon as the app is launched, after the install, the app abruptly goes to a “Enter Mobile No.”, screen without showing an onboarding UX or letting the user choose to register/sign-in.
• An Onboarding experience like Trevo’s, goes a long way
in helping the users get familiar with the basic usage of the app: https://marvelapp.com/1182c80#8318840

Making a New Booking
• A random image of a bus on the top, takes up unnecessary real estate in the app, and is not very helpful.
• ‘Search Your Pickup Point’ – This is bad copy & UX doesn’t really make it stand out as a text input field. “Choose your pickup point” is one option that is grammatically correct and makes sense.
• Random List of Bus Stops Being Shown – Not really clear as to what they are, nor they seem to be co-related to the user’s current location.

Pickup
Search
• Blank Screen comes up in case of a non-existent pick-up point.
• No indication given to user, as to what is happening.
• First time user will most likely quit the app and uninstall on seeing this screen.

Pickup
Search
• Auto suggest not working properly, the first result when ‘An’ us typed is HCL Sector 127 Noida.

Routes
Closed
• The ‘Routes Closed’ error message shown in an OS alert box? Surely, this could be handled in the app UI itself.
• Clicking ‘Dismiss’ leaves the user hanging on a ‘From-To’ Screen – Where should the user go now?
• Clicking OK, takes the user to a ‘Routes’ screen’ – which is very badly designed.

Routes
• The Good – Using Android’s Material Design Guidelines for a UX Summary Unit seems to be followed.
• The Bad – Only Text, No Maps, No Personalization, No Way To Filter.
• The Ugly – Hundreds of Summary Units. Hurts the user’s eyes(hurt mine ) – should be re-designed.

Routes –
Continued..
• Scrolled long enough to find an open route.
• No Option to make a booking for this open route from this screen.

Trevo a Shuttl Competitor
handles the ‘Routes’ UX more
elegantly.
• Helpful error message, without using a system alert.
• List of Routes shown with a clear UX clearly marking start and end points.

Edit Profile Screen
• The main use of a user profile is that helps in personalizing the app according to it.
• The user’s name is not enough for personalizing his experience on the app.
• Work Address & Home Address can be part of user’s profile – since most users being targeted have a daily commute requirement.

Transfer Screen
• No info provided on what this means or how it works.
• Should be re-designed, to indicate what ‘Transfer’ means and how it works.
• Preferably rename it to ‘Transfer Credits’.

What About Positive Reviews?
• Since, Shuttl was an early player in the bus booking apps space, it has a lot of positive reviews pertaining to it providing buses in areas with little/no options for a decent commute – such as some areas in Noida.
• Most positive customer reviews reflect this opinion.• But, with the emergence of competitors, this isn’t
something that warrants a positive review any more- it is my humble opinion that Shuttl needs to fix the issues highlighted in the negative reviews ASAP to re-enforce it’s position as a major player in this space.
