Prototype & Feedback




After discussion, our user-testers believe that our app was too busy and had too many things going on. They suggest that we really narrow down our idea, possibly focusing on one aspect of our current app, and doing it really well. Instead of focusing on Massey students, we were suggested to only cater for first year students as they will be the ones really using the components of the app. We then presented our idea to the tutor and he believe that we should come up with 3 words that explains what our audiences needs/be interested in our app. We need to think about how we are going to capture the attention of our audiences, how are we going to persuade them to use our app? I think we should consider the importance of empathy and really trying to understand how students will look and use our app. This is something our group can look into further.

Feedback

-Too many features in the app. Narrow it down. Possibly pick 1 aspect and focus on that?

-Combination of Mawsa page and Stream? (Have a look at the both for inspiration and select the elements that are working well from there and improve them)

-Narrow down our target audience (Focus mainly on first years because they seem to benefit from the app the most)

-Upload photo + small caption (blog like) rather than a portfolio. Too formal.

-SIMPLIFY!

-Poster (explain how it works), video (promo at the start of the lecture)

-3 words that explain our app. Why would students be interested? How would they get interested? How can we get them to download it?
