I'm not sure if i fit in the group this is meant for but as a point of feedback: I really can't make up from your description and the front page what youphenom actually _is_ or does. The descriptions and examples on the website could use a lot of improvement to deliver the context and message, it's just too vague.

The general styling of the app and website look and feel a bit outdated, maybe a bit resemblant of how apps looked like on the early iPhone. I think this could be a big limiting factor in attracting new users for your platform.

I hope this isn't too harsh or blunt, I think the combination of games and social networking could work, but only if it's executed really well in order to attract the users it needs.

I can recommend organizing some feedback sessions with testers or users that are outside of your team or company and gather first impressions in order to improve on the above.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. Bluntness and even harshness are appreciated as they help us to (re)consider what is potentially not well explained or not well designed. I’m pretty sure there is more to be desired from the description, but part of it is that such concept does not exist. Similar to how alien seemed to offer a service where users can upload pictures of their lunch or stay at strangers’ homes, it’s probably unclear why is this necessary/useful. Trying to simplify the description takes away some of the dimensions to it, but the platform is like a professional league for social media content creators. Another example, what the platform does: For example Nike had brick and mortar stores and great sales even before the Internet, but doing their business online greatly expanded their sales and brand awareness. Sports teams to this day don’t have this opportunity - to compete online (not just sell some merch). It would be too long to list all the ramifications/benefits from this, but they are similar to before and after businesses started to engage with customers on social media. As for the outdated design, we like to think of it more as classic, but we understand your point. We’ll definitely consider your recommendations Cheers
