LimmatBuddy

LimmatBuddy brings live river conditions, safety information, entry and exit points, maps and route planning into one clear mobile experience for people using the Limmat. I shaped the product, UX and technical architecture and built and launched the web and mobile experience. It reaches up to 400 active users on sunny summer days.

Story

About LimmatBuddy

The app gives river users the practical information they need before entering the water: current conditions, route context and clear preparation steps in one focused mobile experience.

Beyond river data, LimmatBuddy adds an interactive map, route planning, alerts and warnings so people can make safer and better-timed decisions for their day on the Limmat.
