Tufts Launches Redesigned Mobile App: A New Era in User Experience

Tufts Technology Services (TTS) is excited to announce the launch of the newly redesigned Tufts Mobile App! This update marks a significant step forward in creating a visually engaging, more intuitive, and user-centered mobile experience.
Why the Redesign?
The redesign reflects our commitment to improving the way you interact with Tufts resources on the go. By conducting extensive user research—with students, subject matter experts, and benchmark analyses of peer institutions—we identified key opportunities for enhancing the app. Our primary goal was to create a visually dynamic, better-structured app with easier navigation and a long-term roadmap for future updates.
Key Enhancements
-
Personalized Experiences: The app now features three distinct personas tailored for Students, Faculty and Staff, and Visitors, allowing you to select the experience that best suits your role.
-
Improved Navigation and Visual Design: A new visual hierarchy enhances the app’s aesthetic appeal and usability, while an updated information architecture ensures a smoother, more logical user flow.
-
Dynamic Home Screen: The updated home screen features expandable accordions, enabling users to access resources without leaving the screen. This maximizes screen real estate and simplifies navigation.
-
Hero Image: A prominent hero image at the top of the home screen highlights events, activities, and key updates.
- Integrated Feeds: Stay up-to-date with real-time feeds from TuftsNow, JumboLife, Athletics events, and the Trumba calendar, all seamlessly integrated into the app.
