JUMP TO SECTION
Understanding the Challenge
The Goal
Mood Match was created to make going out simple and inspiring. The app’s goal is to instantly connect people with experiences that match their mood and vibe whether solo or with friends.
The Problem
People often find it hard to plan where to go out. Existing apps give outdated or scattered information and don’t match the user’s mood or group needs. This causes wasted time, confusion and missed chances for
fun experiences.
Target Users
Men and women aged 20-30, living in urban areas and going out frequently.
City visitors who want local experiences even without knowing the city.
Competitors

Advantages:
• Widely used Israeli app with strong brand awareness.
• Makes it simple to search for nearby businesses and venues.
• Includes ratings and reviews that help with decision-making.
Disadvantages:
• Information is often outdated like opening hours.

• Users must already know what they’re looking for, discovery is limited.

• Organized in clear categories, useful for browsing options.
• Good for planned experiences like gifts or events.
Disadvantages:
• Functions more as a catalog than a dynamic app.

Interviews
Second Research Method: Qualitative in depth semi structured interviews
Sample Size: 6
Yuval (23):
"You end up jumping between Google, WhatsApp, and apps like Easy, and in the end you just get lost. An app that organizes everything in one place would make the process much easier."
Ron (25):
"Many times I don’t even know what I feel like doing. If something could suggest ideas for me, it would help me actually go out instead of staying stuck at home."
Talia (22):
"I arrived at a place that Easy showed as open, but it was closed. If an app gave me reliable, updated info, I would trust it and use it more."
Roi (28):
"Usually I wait for a friend to organize the night. If it doesn’t work out, I just go back to sleep. If there was a way to plan together easily, it would really help."
Ilan (20):
"Most apps don’t feel real what they show in photos isn’t what you actually get. I want something that feels authentic and reliable."
Yaniv (24):
"Too many ads or fake recommendations would turn me off. If it’s not real or trustworthy, I just won’t use it."

Business models
Affiliate marketing
The app earns a small commission whenever users book tickets, order rides or make purchases through integrated links like Taxis or event platforms directly from the recommendation screen.
B2B
Entertainment venues pay for promotion inside the app through personalized coupons offered in the rewards system. Users receive these rewards after leaving a review, which helps improve the algorithm.
Advertising Revenue
Non intrusive ads appear only on the home screen, never during active user flows. This provides steady income without harming the user experience or cluttering the interface.
