The New School App

A redesign of the New School app that allows users to manage their funds provided by the school. The app offers a range of services including budget tracking, bill payments and spend tracking. The app aims to simplify financial management and empower students to make informed decisions so that they can focus on living a more comfortable campus life.

Problem Statement

Some common issues students face when using the New School app:

  • Some students find it difficult to navigate the app, leading to frustration and wasted time.

  • The app lacks essential features that would make it easier for students to manage their financial life.

  • The app's design and layout is outdated and confusing, making it hard for students to understand how to use the app efficiently.
