# Onboarding

**App Introduction:** We aimed to make the app onboarding flow more meaningful, especially for first-time users, due to the previous problem of app-only users not understanding why they should use the app and what value it provides them. The first experience of the app will be a brief introduction that explains what BloomSky provides in order to increase awareness, set expectations, and confirm assumptions. **(see screens 1–4)**. 

**Login:** Then, the user gets funneled to the appropriate flow based on whether they are a new or existing user. If the user has an account, they will be prompted to log in with an option to reset their password **(see 5–7)**. 

**Location Services and Notifications:** Afterwards, they will also be prompted to turn on location services and notifications for an optimal app experience **(see 8)**. These screens provide context as to why a user would want to enable these services and increase the likelihood they will accept when the OS prompts appear.
