Kapgel, an on-demand goods delivery startup where we’re investors, recently released an updated version of its Android app.
Most app updates are incremental in nature. There’s a new product feature, a few messaging tweaks, or some color changes.
If you’re a Kapgel Android user, you’ll quickly notice that this isn’t an incremental update. The user experience has been redesigned from the ground up. Here are some of the key changes:
- The app features larger and more visible fonts and more vivid images.
- The old hamburger menu which, when clicked on, would display menu items on the left hand side of the screen has been replaced with a permanent horizontal menu at the bottom of the screen.
- The checkout process is much smoother than before.
I don’t have a screenshot of the old app but here’s a screenshot of the new one.
A better user experience sometimes requires a completely new design rather than incremental improvements. This was one of those cases.
The updated Kapgel Android app certainly delivers.
