Observations:

First Round

User 1: 

• Task 1: Pressed on the schedule after creating. Then pressed back on create. Used direct swipe to select the dates. Had no problem using the scroll selector for dates 
• Task 2: Searched for Bill and Kate successfully and chose from the dropdown
• Task 3: Pressed reply and respond. Pressed on Can attend and waited. Then did that for the other days.

Comments: Overall intuitive. Name of the day would be helpful. Confirm window after creation of an event would be helpful.
