fun experiences.

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."

The Solution

01 Going Out Made Effortless

A mobile app that helps people find where to go out fast, simple and stress free. By analyzing users’ preferences, time and location, it recommends nearby experiences.

02 Personalized Experiences, Instantly

Using an AI-based mood system, the app personalizes suggestions to both individuals and groups. It brings one smooth flow so users can stop scrolling between apps.

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.

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.

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.
