Design is a systematic process that involves creating a plan to achieve specific objectives, encompassing the identification of needs, analysis, and the design of effective and efficient solutions. In the context of application design, collaboration among various disciplines is essential to ensure proper integration of all design aspects. Applications, as software tools that assist users in completing various tasks, have become increasingly important in daily life with a wide range of types and functions. Android, as a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices, provides an open platform for application developers. The "Peduli Tani" application is designed to enhance agricultural productivity through technical guidance and information related to crop management. The User-Centered Design (UCD) approach is applied to ensure that the product design meets the needs and preferences of end-users, thereby improving user experience and satisfaction. By prioritizing the user’s perspective, the application design is expected to deliver relevant and effective solutions.
