VerseVault
Mobile App
VerseVault is an app for literature enjoyers of any genre, who come together to create posts and share quotes from their favourite books. If silent indulgence is more one’s fancy, get inspiration for your next read: branch out through the hashtags to get book content of different genres, and bookmark posts and book pages you never want to lose!

Following the UX Design Process, we first define the problem statement that VerseVault solves. Book lovers had no app of their own to share exclusively bookish content, with similar apps like Pinterest and Tumblr containing hundreds of sub-communities, novels being just one of them. Creating a space that solely about books means users are rid of distractions and can focus on engaging in what truly makes them happy.
Low-Fidelity sketches of the app’s user flow
The usability testing of the app made it clear that users would appreciate being able to include images in their comments, so this was incorporated into the high-fidelity prototype.
Target Users:
Readers who want book recommendations and inspiration from other readers; those who use apps for browsing.
Through a mixture of background research, surveys, and competitive analysis, it was clear that the app had to feature the following integrations as they were brought up repeatedly:
Bookmark feature
Pages for specific books
Collaborator option to boards
