I have to make quick interviews with possible users for the Meditation Guide App. The main point of this interviews is to understand what the different kind of users waits from an app like this one.
For this post, I will describe the different needs that I have identified from the users. These needs will be divided into three different post parts to make them easier to understand.
Expectancies
When I ask my possible user about what they expect from an app like this, I got multiple answers with different necessities and recommendations. But, there were three things that they find extremely important.
Levels
For the users seems extremely important to have different levels of meditation guide. It should start with a beginner lever, where someone guides you through the whole process. A medium-level that is a mix between music and guides. An expert level that will be only music or mantra and a timer for finishing the exercise.
Timer
Another element to seem important is a timer that helps the user measure their time progress through the use. Also to programme the time and the duration of the meditation progress so it is easy to get through the process and out.
Music
The final part of the expectancies is the music, most of the users said that they will expect that the timer alarm is through Buddhism, calm music that helps the people awake softer. Also, they want to have soft music in the meditation process to keep them calm.
Calming Anxiety
The meditation applications are useful to calm down an anxious mind by offering guided & unstructured video of around 20 minutes (the time differs from app-to-app).
Stress Management
These meditation apps help in determining stress levels and reduce them through meditation tools that consist of images & music.
Deep Sleep
Meditation mobile apps create a nice aura through relaxing music of nature and melody. This helps users in experiencing calm that promotes sleep.
Focus & Concentration
These applications allow their users to block distractions from other apps, texts, calls, and this allows them to focus and concentrate better during work.
Relationship
Few of the apps offering advanced features allow their users in connecting and maintaining healthy and sound relationships that increase their energy.
Habit & Goal Tracker
The apps allow its users to break habits through its tool that is useful in tracking habits & realizing their goals. It may consist of notifications, reminders (can be customized), and a lot more.
Attain Happiness
The apps offer several features that help their users to experience true happiness. It may consist of guided meditation sessions, nature sounds, and several step-by-step processes to stay in a peaceful and happy space.
Self-Esteem
Most of these meditation apps offer this functionality that is helpful in boosting the self-esteem of the users by bringing their attention to positive aspects of life.
