  • No ability to cross-reference the original receipt, leading to uncorrected errors

  • Delayed payments due to users having to wait until all members were assigned

  • Limited moderator control over item division and visibility into selections, totals, and payment status

Frustration, Time Pressure, and Limited Control: Key User Pain Points

Frustration, Time Pressure, and Limited Control: Key User Pain Points

To understand pain points in the legacy app, the research team surveyed 75 users and conducted 6 in-depth interviews. Recurring themes included: frustration with payments and receipts, time constraints, limited control and transparency in group interactions, confusion from unclear workflows, and inconsistencies across features. These insights directly informed the problem statement and guided the design direction
