User Experience (03/19/14)

This week I retested my paper prototype. This time I had a friend who had no previous experience with my app try it. To give direction I introduced the app and gave simple instructions to my user. The feedback from my user was that the app was simple to use and appears to be useful. 

Unfortunately I did run into some or a lot of technical difficulty. It turns out that my camera had a bunch of pictures on it, taking up too much of the memory. The recording cut off mid way. It took several attempts at recording the user experience before I finally realized the problem. Once I deleted the pictures from the camera I was able to complete the video. It was frustrating but a good lesson learned.  I then uploaded the video to YouTube. 

This week I also had my digital prototype tested. Using my same friend I instructed how to use it. The feedback was very positive. One critique was that changing the day was not obvious. But I realized that is because in my prototype you can not swipe. Once the app is up and running, swiping will not be an issue. Changing the date then will be obvious. 

I recorded my user with QuickTime Player. I uploaded this to YouTube as well.
