Overview
The HoopSong Digital Basketball Shot Diary app was born of a passion for basketball. The client initially embarked on an extensive blogging project focused on basketball, immersing themselves in the sport. This deep dive revealed a gap in the market for a simple yet effective tool that allows players to track their shooting performance. The result was the creation of a digital shot diary app, designed to help users measure their shooting ability, set meaningful goals, and improve their accuracy—all without the need for external devices or costly subscriptions.
Challenges
Developing the Digital Basketball Shot Diary app involved several key challenges:
- User-Centric Design: The app needed to be intuitive and easy to use, catering to basketball players of all skill levels. This included a seamless onboarding process and a visually appealing interface.
- Accurate Shot Tracking: The app had to reliably track makes and misses, store this data securely to iCloud, and allow users to name their shots for detailed analysis.
- Integration with WatchOS: Expanding the app to include a WatchOS version required careful attention to UI/UX, ensuring that users could easily track their shots using the Apple Watch.
