DISCOVER - Mobile App UI Refresh

The Discover banking product is great for many reasons, but the mobile app could use some UI love. I built this unsolicited concept as a fan.

  • The app is very slow performance wise and has some visual glitches while loading. It would be great to have a fully-loaded interface, with content skeleton placeholders while the data loads.

  • There is a lot of visual decoration that cold tone-down a bit and let the content be the focus. Today the fonts are very small. Fine for me, but not very accessible for many users.

  • The look and feel isn't that bad, but could still use a bit of modernization with better typography, animation transitions, and less design.

  • It's strange that you can only view three transactions without having to click "View More". Why not let me scroll to view my transactions and have access to filters right away? I find a lot of financial apps like to place promotions on the home screen and force the user to continue to dig deeper. After opening the app, it takes 3-5 taps just to view all recent transactions.

  • Lastly, I wish the Android widget actually worked :)
