Rethinking Apple Calendar with Student-Centric Features on iOS

The thesis endeavors to address the needs of university students by enhancing the functionality of an iOS application. As modern education systems become increasingly complex, students face challenges in efficiently managing their academic schedules, which often involve many classes, assignments, exams, and extracurricular activities. Recognising these challenges, the thesis aims to redesign the existing application to better cater to the unique requirements of university students. By integrating new templates specifically tailored for university schedules, the redesigned application seeks to provide students with a more intuitive and streamlined way to organise their academic commitments. The addition of these templates not only offers practical benefits such as improved time management and organisation but also contributes to enhancing the overall user experience of the application. Through the adoption of User-Centered Design (UCD) principles, the redesign process prioritizes the needs and preferences of the end-users, ensuring that the new features align closely with their expectations and usage patterns. Additionally, by incorporating User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design strategies, the thesis aims to create an interface that is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and conducive to efficient task completion. The choice of Figma for prototyping and design, followed by implementation in Xcode for iOS app development, reflects a comprehensive approach to the redesign process. By leveraging these tools, the thesis endeavors to create a seamless transition from concept to execution, ensuring that the final product meets the highest standards of usability and functionality. Overall, the thesis seeks to contribute to the improvement of student life by providing a digital solution that addresses the unique challenges of managing university schedules. Through thoughtful design and implementation, the redesigned iOS application aims to empower students with the tools they need to succeed academically while enhancing their user experience.
