The Owl Currency sets itself apart from other exchange rate apps by offering a wide range of functions while maintaining simplicity. The complexity of the app has been cleverly hidden, ensuring that users can easily navigate through its various features. If users require advanced configurations, they can find them easily by locating the Chevron mark on each configuration button.
One of the strengths of the Owl Currency lies in its ability to satisfy diverse user needs. The app includes functions such as exchange rate viewing, currency conversion, property management, and exchange rate alarms. Each menu page has a unique layout, preventing confusion and ensuring a seamless user experience.
Developed using Sketch 3 and designed specifically for Android devices, the Owl Currency is a testament to the designer's technical expertise. Its user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) have been carefully crafted to provide a smooth and intuitive interaction for users.
During the design process, the team faced the challenge of collaboration across different time zones. With the designer based in Seoul, Korea, and the developer in Vancouver, Canada, it was crucial to effectively communicate and share opinions. Despite this obstacle, the team successfully created a cohesive and well-designed app.
Released on Google Play in July 2017, the Owl Currency has garnered recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Mobile Technologies, Applications, and Software Design category in 2018. This prestigious award recognizes the app's outstanding creativity and resourcefulness, as well as its contribution to improving the quality of life for users.
With its multifunctionality and user-friendly interface, the Owl Currency is a reliable companion for anyone in need of currency conversion. Whether you're a traveler, an immigrant, a student, or a businessperson, this app provides a seamless and efficient solution for all your currency-related needs.
