The app that makes moving from Hungary to Sweden less stressful, more organized and rewarding.
Move to Sweden App gives a helping hand to those who want to relocate their life from Hungary to Sweden, given all of the needed information and motivation by tracking their progress.

The Problem
Many kinds of people from Hungary want to move abroad. There are different reasons why, and every kind of goal with moving abroad but one thing is sure, there are always so many questions.
Is it really a good destination for me? Is it the best choice for me? What are the salaries? How can I get a job? Where can I live? How to handle all of the administration? Which are the best schools for my kids and how can we have a place there? Is Sweden safe enough?
I have heard and read billions of questions like these as I am also one of them who ended up living in Sweden. I get a lot of questions personally and I see daily in Facebook groups that people are full of question marks and eager to gather the most up to date and reliable information.
The main probem happens when a process ended without a success as the person is lack of any seenable progress or motivation. With a platform where they can monitor even their tinyest progress the motivation can be maintained.
The Solution
All of the necessary information in one place. No more searching for hours and trying to decide if the found information is valid or not. There is also an opportunity to find help with this app after the user settles down in Sweden so the usage of the app does not stop.
My role
This is my home project so I execute all of the tasks regarding UX and UI.
The process
- Creating archetypes
- Write down some user stories
- Creating the user flows according the stories
- Wireframing
- Creating style guide
- Creating high-fidelity mockups
- Iterating
Competitor analysis
If I look around and search for “move to sweden app”, “move to abroad app”, and a lot of other similar keywords but I found nothing comparable to it.
Yes, this could mean that nobody needs this application but the original idea is coming from a Hungarian pregnancy tracker application (Preghello) which is a success.
Why? Because being pregnant is a very important thing happening in a family’s life and everybody wants to be prepared. I feel the same when moving abroad. Of course, there is a big difference between these two life events but still, I see a million questions daily in various Facebook groups regarding moving to Sweden.
There are thousands of people who are in these “Hungarians in Sweden”/”Hungarians who want to move to Sweden”/… . I am sure that a significant part of them would love to use this app.And I am not only såeaking of the people who plan to move but also those who are already in Sweden but still lack a lot of information.

The Goal
Not only use the app until they finally moved to Sweden but afterwards as well to maintain the motivation and make their mission till the end: move to Sweden.
By implementing this plan in English I leave the possibility to widen the audience later. But obviously, the Hungarian option should be available from the beginning.

Summarize
I really enjoyed to work on this project and it would be wonderful to see it as a real project in the future. Then I could iterate more regarding the UX by execute user interviews and getting feedbacks.
What would I improve in my project?
I would develop the icon set to have a more comprehensive look.
I enjoy so much to experience with the animations but i felt unnecessarily time consuming to spend more time with it as I consider this project more like UX rather than UI.
In this project I created the graphical elements with the help oh ChatGPT to be able to concentrate more on the UX point of view but I eager to create my own illustration when I have the possibility.
And many more. I mean I am confident that this project reflects my knowledge of product design but I am a person who is always up to find better ways and improve whatever I am working on.
I would take more effort on checking WCAG compliance
