Do my users think the app is interesting or valuable?
- Yes, while there are a lot of tracking apps, the idea of presenting tracked data in an interactive infographic way is exciting to users I demo this to.
- Intitial idea of showing foods/searching by foods was less helpful. Users want to connect symptoms to food - starting from symptom.
Did my users use the app as I intended?
- Yes although testing revealed ways users would intuitively want to use the app.
- Wanted to click on everything. Need to make as much of the components clickable / interactible.
- Wanted to search by specific things, specific dates, ranges.
Did my users encounter any bugs or broken features?
- Wanted to be able to click on graph to get more info, or see a new search result based on the item clicked.
- selecting a symptom for which there was no data caused an error.
Did my users understand how to use the app?
- yes and no. They wanted more information up front. The top of the app has too much space devoted to headers and part of the graph. It is unclear where to go or what to do. They needed to scroll to find buttons for action. Adding info was simple but some of the buttons were confusing to users. There is an Add food button but it adds another line for an additional food rather than adds to the data base. There is also a minus button close to the time input which deletes the food. The function of the button is unclear and frustrating to users who delete their input.
Is the basic functionality of my app working? For the most part, but some of the functionality needs to be reworked to focus on giving the user the reason to use the app - finding the foods that are causing symptoms.
