Pathway App

UX/UI | Mobile App design

Pathway is the app that guides people through the process of travel — from planning to the end of the trip. In a simple and intuitive way, the app aims to enhance the quality of people's travel experience.


Brief

There are tons of resources for planning trips such as travel books, magazines, websites, and mobile apps. They provide tons of information on itineraries (sorted by theme and mood), users’ reviews, and flight ticket prices. It is now very easy to explore, collect, compare the information. Yet sometimes it could be time-consuming to plan and prepare everything. That is why some people buy a package trip that the entire itinerary is already set up by travel agents. Still, there are lots of chances that it could end up ruining their travel experience if it is not suited for them. Is there a way to save time on planning along with enhancing the quality of trip experience? So I came up with the idea of the app that helps improving travel experience — from planning to the last day of the trip — in a simple and handy way.
