Lippert Components, Inc. redesigned its OneControl RV app.
The new design debuts a fresh color palette for better readability, Lippert said, refined controls for faster access to vital information, an improved Favorites feature, and a creative approach to customizing RV controls.
“As more families turned to RVing for vacations, our OneControl app saw a 400% increase in use,” said Jason Lippert, president and CEO of Lippert. “This burst of activity gave us a world of insight about how to serve these new RVers, take care of our long-standing and loyal users, and deliver on our commitment to give everyone the tools they need to make RVing the go-to choice for family vacations and adventure.”
OneControl features a new white and black color palette with vibrant detail colors.
“An app’s color matters, especially in bright sunlight,” said Mark Woloszyk, vice president of technology and product development. “Darker colors cause a phone’s screen to reflect what is around it. A light background is easier to use outdoors when operating major RV devices, like room slides and awnings, which is exactly where OneControl has to perform. It is crisp and clean, like a luxury watch.”
OneControl also includes upgrades to existing products and features based on user feedback.
“One of our most popular aftermarket products is the Tire Linc tire pressure monitoring system,” said Briton Moffit, product manager for safety and security. “Users said they want more than notifications; they also want the comfort of seeing that things are right. To deliver this experience and avoid driver distraction, we created a new interface that serves critical information quickly and efficiently.”
Owen Resh, Lippert’s director of product development, said usability and design upgrades to the app are just the start.
“At the request of our Lippert Scouts Community, we are bringing back ‘Favorites,’ and we are making it better,” Resh said. “With Favorites, users gain quick access to devices, but the devices they need while setting up an RV are different than the ones they need while camping. To solve this, we created Modes. Modes allows users to make more than one list of Favorites and arrange the order in which the devices appear. They get the best of both worlds – instant access and personalization.
“Refreshing an app like OneControl is a big responsibility,” Resh said. “As new users join the RV community, they bring new expectations; but at the same time, we need to reward our loyal users. Because OneControl’s upgrades were inspired by insights from both groups, we know they will both be happy.”
