Native Woodland Trust! The Native Woodland Trust is an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) “dedicated to the preservation of Ireland’s remaining ancient woodlands.” It is also “committed to the restoration of Ireland’s original climax ecosystem through the re-creation of woodlands, using only native seed”. This projects is about how to design a native Android app and to provide a useful app to those who are interested in nature and looks for wooded areas such as trails and sites to visit or go for a walk or to protect the areas.
There are no similar applications that includes three or more features inside like Native Woodland Trust app. There are only single applications that are focused to serve single purposes such as plant identification apps or national park apps. Users need handy applications which provides more than only one feature. We have noted that It is frustrating for most of the users to go three or more pages or steps to find themselves where they want to be on a mobile app therefore, we made it possible set everything on a single page
We have put several features in a single app so that the users can take the advantage of it. The application makes it easy to navigate through the forest areas or to find trails and sites. Users can also use tree identification feature to learn more about the nature and diseases or how to treat plants in the right way.
The application is available and easy to use almost by everyone. Expected usage age target is 15 yrs and above. Application can be very famous among those who are interested in spending time in nature.

We have done some researches and found out that that It is frustrating for most of the users to go three or more pages or steps to find themselves where they want to be on a mobile app therefore, we made it possible set everything on a single page
Users age, profession and their interests are considered before they are chosen for the user test. It is vital to know what it is like for both young and middle aged users when they use the application for the first time so that we can improve the quality of the design to create more user-friendly app so that everyone can use it.
User Test has been done monitored in person. Time usage for each participant was approximately between 15-20min. After the test is done, we have noted all advices and improvement suggestions
Issues in terms of mostly liked things about the app And its functionality:
Our purpose was to create fancy look and keep some space on some pages with FAB. But it did not work as good as we expected.
All Users has been asked to share the page with someone, but most of them could not guess the share
Button could be hidden inside the FAB and some of the users did not notice it because of its colour
We can put both navigation and share button visible on pages instead of using FAB.
