User Testing

This week we had user testing with three different people, Here is who I reviewed my app with.

Hannah – Student

Students tend to be more adventurous with trying new things and tend to be more tech savvy than most people. Had some trouble with finding the next step but seemed get through it easily.

Hannah comments were

Maybe messing around with making icons for your "haven't tried yet" vs "tried it". I think some sort of emoji face or a picture of a before and after of a plate will make that section a little more playful. Also check to make sure you're giving the information on your screen room to breathe since there is a lot to look at per page.

Other than that, I think it looks good! It is a neat idea and I think your scoring system would encourage people to try new food.

Overall good feedback from someone that understands what I am trying for.

Tim and Katie – Worldwide Technology

They design things like this in real life, the feed back from them is what the world would push back on your ideas.

Tim was the original host, but Katie showed up and took over.

Spending over time going over the other students’ project so I gave them the best elevator pitch I could, and they reviewed the first few pages of the app. The feedback was very professional, way more than I could ever attain at the amount of time and training to complete the project.

Many aspects of the problems where seeing things that are guidelines that they felt was standard.

Issue one was green should not be used due to color blind people not seeing the color, then using a long on page as one of the first pages. On the instruction page, they felt center aligned type was difficult to read, font size was to small and again not to use green coloring. Many federal and corporate guidelines where spouted out I lost track of what she was complaining about.

The personal information pages were skipped over because they felt they would not, and no customer would give out they type of person information.  The map page was the final page tested and immediately could tell it was a false map, did not like having real details and commented they don’t want to see artificial places.

The feedback given was at a professional level that I feel we were not ready for. If they understood that before going in or better communication of expectations of the judging, the outcome would been better.

Felt like I was asked to build a go cart in two weeks with no instructions, then needed to ask Nascar drivers if I can race professionally with it.

Vanessa – Wife

She has always like to travel the world and try new foods in different cultures.

Went through most of the pages, liked the ideas of allergies and tolerances but questioned what a menu item would look like if they did have the issue; “Would the food be blocked or have some type of alert or warning about the issues that might arise.

Had the idea that in place of the points to use a badge system like Pokémon go, so it is more about collecting.

Question about how to get the points when purchasing the meal. Plan on placing a scan receipt page to help fix that.

Feed back was over all good, Like the idea of trying new types of food based on cultures she was not familiar with and feel I got some good recommendations from her.
