SWEE created a dual system for golf courses: high-definition cameras positioned at every hole to capture golfers' swings, and a companion iOS app that lets golfers download and review their swing clips. The goal was to offer golfers an affordable alternative to hiring a personal coach for swing improvement, while giving golf courses a new revenue stream. SWEE had the partnerships to sell their app through golf courses, but their existing technology was clunky and error-prone. They needed a better-performing app to realize their mission.
Redesigned the companion app with a clean, modern interface, intuitive animations, and step-by-step setup guidance.
Streamlined the manual camera-to-Wi-Fi connection process, cutting caddy setup time significantly.
Replaced cryptic LED signals and inconsistent errors with clear, actionable messages for caddies.
Restructured the core code to resolve crashes and syncing issues between cameras and the app.
An innovative vision was undermined by poor app execution and a hardware setup process that frustrated caddies and golf courses alike.
Even when the app worked, users found the interface less than intuitive. Certain features were buried deep within menus, and navigation was confusing. Caddies, often the go-to experts on the field, felt ill-equipped to assist golfers and struggled to handle basic tech questions. The overall user experience was far from ideal for the people who needed it most.
The manual process of connecting cameras to Wi-Fi was cumbersome and time-consuming. Cameras relied on LED lights to communicate status, but these signals were confusing and aggravating for users. The original app had no consistent error messages, so caddies had no idea what they were doing wrong when connections failed.
Users reported frequent app crashes, unresponsive features, and in some cases a failure to launch. Syncing issues caused delays in accessing swing data, and the promise of seamless integration between cameras and app felt more aspirational than functional. These problems tarnished SWEE's reputation and became a deterrent for potential users.
The team drew on experience connecting smart devices to Wi-Fi and mobile phones to overhaul both the app and the hardware setup workflow.
The core code was restructured to address stability issues, and special attention was paid to ensuring seamless synchronization between the app and the camera systems. Potential bottlenecks were identified and rectified using insights from past IoT projects.
NineTwoThree integrated the mobile app with the camera system to ensure reliable data transmission. Insights from past IoT projects helped identify and fix connection bottlenecks, paving the way for an efficient pairing process between the cameras and the app.
The team introduced fully redesigned mobile screens with a clean, modern aesthetic. Intuitive animations and step-by-step instructions guided caddies through the camera setup process, replacing the previous confusing workflow.
The previously confusing error messages were rewritten to offer clear instructions and actionable steps. Caddies could now understand the different signals the cameras were giving them and get back on track if they made a mistake during setup.
The collaboration led to SWEE's relaunch with golf courses and resulted in a 304% increase in downloads from the Apple App Store. The surge in downloads demonstrated market interest and built trust in the app's enhanced features.
NineTwoThree's redesign replaced frequent crashes and unresponsive features with a stable, intuitive experience, turning frustrated users into satisfied ones and helping SWEE's iOS app earn a 5-star rating post-relaunch.
The app's user-friendly design made golf courses confident in the app again. They knew they could trust it to give golfers an upgraded experience where they could receive videos of their swings for self or professional review.
By simplifying the setup for both employees and players, SWEE realized its goal of giving golf courses a new, innovative revenue stream. Golf courses can now sell recorded sessions for review, creating a service that benefits both the course and the golfer.
