- Severe: Payment system complexity
- Simplify the payment process by reducing the required information and integrating a well-known payment gateway for a smoother user experience.
- Severe: Political party-based betting system
- Redesign the betting system to be more generalized, allowing users to choose their preferred beneficiary or cause instead of just donating to the opposite political party.
- Moderate: Phone number requirement during onboarding
- Make providing a phone number optional or delay this step until it’s necessary for the app’s functionality, such as inviting friends.
- Moderate: Unclear handling of independent-party users
- Develop a solution for users who don’t identify with the main political parties, such as allowing them to choose their own preferred cause or organization for the bets.
- Moderate: Inability to create and organize sessions before sharing the link
- Implement a feature that allows users to create and organize sessions with friends first and then share the link via text, email, or other messaging platforms.
- Moderate: Uneven contributions and rewards/punishments
- Introduce a feature that ensures all participants contribute equally and that rewards or punishments are distributed evenly among the group.
- Trivial: Confusing color scheme with red and blue representing both political parties and app elements
- Modify the color scheme to avoid confusion, using different colors or shades to differentiate between app elements and political party representation.
