General Comments

Users did not exhibit difficulty in locating the Friend List icon, indicating that the icon provided an affordance for the user to tap on. However, users had trouble identifying the Action Bar icons as buttons, indicating a lack of affordances indicating that they were indeed buttons. Users were distracted by other buttons on the action bar and search bar, which surprised the user. This may have increased the time required by our user to make the correct selection.

Users wanted a shorter process for adding one or more friends. They found the disabled buttons on the "Add a friend" window to be distracting, even though they were place there to maintain consistency. Users remarked that "Show on map" presented an ambiguous meaning. That is, does , indicating a lack of exerternal consistency, and likely that the user possessed a different conceptual model of what the application would do versus what they expected it to do.  (i.e. Does it show a person's office location or their current location? Users ) Users were confused surprised +when the application repeatedly returned to the home page (the UI distorted their mental model of the system). Users also suggested that the search feature should provide a better cue of its functionality. In particular, they , perhaps by presenting more +information scent as to how they ought to perform the query (i.e. search by name? or search by MIT username? or does it search all substrings and returns a set of possible candidates). In particular, they were unsure whether the search feature looked for a location or a person.  

Icon pictures appeared to be inconsistent with the user's mental model for that picture.  This implies that the icons are not externally consistent with other applications and interfaces. These icons may provide affordances which do not match their functionality and are prone to description error. Users Due to the hand-drawn nature of the fields and buttons, users exhibited apprehension and some confusion about the affordances provided by them. In particular, some users preferred tapping on the fields, while others preferred tapping on the icons which were positioned at the right-most edge of the fields. The lack of hotspots contributed to this. Users also felt that there was too much detail to be entered when creating an event. For , indicating that it might become an efficiency issue should they end up using the system on a frequent basis. For example, the time zone and meeting end time are unnecessary for initiating an impromptu meeting. Users also found it difficult to update events, which indicates that our application UI lacks robustness to support slight user tweaks.

Users were surprised to receive another confirmation box after sending an RSVP. They also found that the event details page lacked an affordance for editing entries. Asa result, users resorted to canceling and adding new events in order to make modificationslacked any visual cues as to how to begin proposing changes to the various entries. As a result, users erroneously closed the window and began searching for another way to begin proposing changes in response to the event invitation, posing a safety error.

Users were not presented this task.

The system can be intuitive at times, but forces the user to make extra clicks. There is further ambiguity about the functionality of certain features, such as  the back and close search bars.  Users searching for friend names wanted to know the level of detail applied in the search feature. For example, this additional knowledge would help them in deciding whether to search for a friend by their nickname or email address.

  • Consistency.  What is the user looking?  I.e the name issue
  • Maybe list name and user name in search, highlighting what matches the users input.  I.e if the user types in Rob, result shows Rob Miller rcm, where rcm is his username and Rob is highlighted.
  • The icons look grayed out.
  • Consistency.  Some menus had back buttons while others did not.
  • Not sure of the purpose of the search bar.  In the home map, is it to find a person or location.

General Comments

User did not exhibit difficulty in locating the Friend list Icon. They correctly identified the selection on the first attempt Users were able to identify the icons used in the Action Bar much better, due to the improved affordances provided by the images used, which resembled real-world buttons.

Users found the procedure to be intuitive. They also found it easy to complete the work flow by making selections on several consecutive pages. However, users were briefly confused when the application returned to the home page. They had expected some feedback visual indicator in response to their selection.
selection, indicating a lack of feedback to confirm that the Add request was indeed sent.

The Notifications Icon in the Action Bar bore resemblance to speech bubbles, which made users think erroneously that it should be the way to "respond" to an event invitation. This indicated a lack of external consistency of the icon used. Users, however, would identify the Calendar Icon and correctly associate it with anything related to Events. Otherwise The notification icon appears to confuse users and is inconsistent with several users' mental models. Otherwise, the work flow was intuitive and enabled the user to complete all tasks. Users wanted more detail--Some users indicated that more information could be provided by the application in helping them make a decision for selecting a location, for example, they wanted to know the distance between two locations marked on the map. 

Users quickly understood how to respond to invitations, indicating good learnability. However, some users felt the UI was too simple. In particular, making the "Accept without changes" button available even after use made resulting changes prone to error.

The map feature lacked appropriate affordances, making it unclear how to change the selected location. Some users attempted to drag the pin to change location, while some tried to click on different location. Others . These were a result of unclear affordances of the static images on the paper prototype. Others tried tried tapping on the name. This ambiguity slows down the user and increases the chance for errors.  

Users liked the ability to visualize their friends' location when creating new events. 
However, they suggested adding a feature to specify whether an event was closed or open to friends of friends.

  • It was not obvious that event proposals could be changed, only knew because it was a task.
  • Was not obvious that you could click the map to change the event location.
  • A “Propose Change” button might make it more obvious that you can change the details of the event.

  • Allow people to invite their friends to an event.  Possibly use open/closed meetings.
  • When inviting friends to an event you could sort them by distance or by frequency of events you attend together.
  • The app is somewhere between informal and full contact management. The right way to do things may not be easy.
  • The tasks were intuitive but might want to reevaluate the tasks that we are aiming for so we can identify what we are missing or how to make the app better.
  • The app could possibly suggest places to meet or store personal defaults.
